And back to Paris

Valentino lit up the runway with a 60’s inspired collection. According to other sources people feel Valentino didn’t conquer the runway! Of course the clothes are always amazing and well cut but it’s been said they didn’t create the magic, no blinding flash of creative. I don’t care i loved it!! I love the 60s inspiration and i think it’s a bit more wearable than all the other couture collections.
Check it outttttt


This green coat is awsome
Dress on the left, hottest gown ever! I want to see that on someone i love at an upcoming awards night

Because im a ladddy

My mum was trying to tell me “you will remember this day, its an important day in history, the first black president!!” mer whateva im just gonna remember the fash! Michelle Obama looked smokin in this Jason Wu gown which she apparently chose while watching tv, bloody good i say. Is a far cry from the ugly dresses worn by Laura Bush and Hillary Clinton in years past. So fingers crossed this bird will show those ladies how its done!


I feel like a vaccum cleaner! A complete sucker! Its fucked up & he is a fucker!!!

Well it seems like i have witnessed history. Possibly the last show ever with the original Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds. As of today Mick Harvey the lead guitarist will no longer be part of the band, for personal reasons. Well they definitly went out with a bang, the best live show i have ever seen. Yep, I said it, it was fucking awesome. It was the first time i had seen them and it blew me away, Nick Cave has such an amazing stage presence and the band has such a tight stage performance, well it has been about 35years together. All the music sounded so much better live than on cd. To top the night off we got to attend the after party. Nick Cave didn’t come out unfortuatly but i could spy in a door and i saw him wearing a plain white t-shirt with St Kilda written on it, I don’t think hes seen wear just a tee much ey. Just the privialge of being back there with rock royalty was enough, so happy, such a great night!!!!Belviour
My after party sticker!!!! Its stuck in my car now

Some punk giving him a cowboy hat to wear, Cave told him to fuck off

fur hags!

Mary Kate and Ashley Olsen’s star on Hollywood Boulevard was vandalized by anti fur campaigners with the words ‘Fur Hags’. Sharon Stone’s star was also vandalized with ‘Old Fur Hag’ written on it. haha


Next Wednesday Night


nice one

Saint Augustine Academy dress Nick Cave for his ‘All Tomorrows Parties’ tour that featured at Cuckatoo Island in Sydney over the weekend


Gold and silver together…the new hot

Heres a sneak peek into Lanvin pre-fall line. I’m loving the gold and silver combo, who fuken said they don’t go together. Alber Elbaz thinks “When the market crashes, it’s best to invest in gold,” so he’s created a glamorous dream world.


take it off

Following in her hot husbands foot steps, Victoria Beckham has got her gear off for Giorgio Armani’s women’s underwear campaign. Armani said he chose VB because she is ‘a stylish and intriguing woman’. I have to say the pics look a little 80’s but at least they made her boobs look real. Love the black and white!




Rio Fashion Week


I thought I would just set the mood a little for Rio Fashion Week. One of the most amazing cities in the world with such a diverse culture. The rich living right with the poor and some of the poor having the best views in the city. Copacabana is “ment” to be one of the nicest beaches in the world, yes, apart from the scum across the top, rubbish and drainage from the favelas. The city centre when built was based on Paris, the city having this real European feel to it. Anyway, enough me reminising about Rio heres some pics of the fashion week, the clothes and girls as beautiful as the city.

Adriana Degreas. Her muse for the collection was a popular Rio socialite Carmen Mayrink Viega, whose face was printed on a beautiful gold colored silk tunic.

Sass & Bide ‘The New Grace’ Circus!

Here’s some pics from the collection. Be sure to check out the New Grace S&B Vie collection as well!





TONIGHT


More Golden Moments awww

Well im slightly obsessed with Gossip Girl at the moment so this is what Blake Lively wore to the Globes.
She wore a strapless Nina Ricci gown with large sequin detailing, and finished off her look with Fred Leighton jewels: Diamond flower fringe earrings; rock crystal and diamond bangle bracelet; a carved ruby and sapphire, a diamond bracelet, in platinum; and finally, three vintage diamond bracelets, all in platinum.
Hot, I love the dress, especially the colour!!



I cannot belive Taylor Momsen is only 15! she looks smokin at the after-party, down boys she ain’t legal!!!


Everone love russian stacking dolls!!

Lilly Allen was photographed yesterday with this Chanel clutch. It was part of the pre-fall collection entitled “Paris to Moscow”. I love it but as if i could fit anything in there! I also want to say I was watching an old Live in London the other day and Lilly is looking much healthier these days.

sunglass stylin’

Everyone has Ray bans, fakes or reals they are the sunglasses of the moment. However if your wanting new sunnies and you like the vintage look but don’t want to be like everyone else…here is some inspiration for you! When I was in Sydney over x-mas there was sooo many stalls at the markets selling original never been worn vintage sunglasses and theirs so many hot styles! heres a few of my favs

Design by Christian Dior from the 70s
classic 80`s design by Metzler
Armani
Robert La Roche from the 80’s
Nina Ricci, classic womens sunglasses from the 70’s
Ray Ban Gatsby’s square
Terri Brogan, popular sunglass designer in the 80’s from Germany
Christian Dior from the 80’s

If your keen on any of these styles just search vintage sunglasses on google or ebay! I definately want the last Dior ones.

Thinking of Israel and that area of the world makes me sad, i cried the other day reading the newspaper. So much death and fighting makes me think how can people live normally over there?

Elizabeth and James

Was checking out this label just browsing round on the net today, and its not bad! for those who don’t know its Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen’s label. It’s supposed to be the cheaper label to the Row but far out for what it is its still pretty expensive. Check out this dress its rank and its 345 buckaroos.

Anyways they have some alright stuff for reasonable prices too… check it out here

another thing….I bought their book the other day too ‘Influence’ and i have to say its pretttttty goood! lots of interviews with great people! Terry Richardson and Karl Lagerfeild get in there and are a great read. It’s an interview style coffee table book with heaps of great pictures and conversation. AND its only $40, for what it is, that is an awsome price.
