Hokay - so I've been trying to nail the Beehive, as you no doubt have realised. Today, I think I have got the hang of it. It even looked half decent at the end of the day.

White Coat - Thailand - 200?
Skirt - as previously mentioned, pilfered
L'Arbre T - Edinburg - 10 pounds
Boots - Witchery - 300 NZD
Wannabe Chanel Jacket - London - 50 pounds
Brooch - 10 AUD?







More later, I guess - that's fair... right?

I would like my funeral to be banned of black. Everyone should mourn in ash grey, muted grey-rose pink. They are good mourning colours.

I want to be dressed in Rei Kawakubo> I want people not to get it, they wouldn't even if I were alive to explain it.

I want people to cry, a lot. I am worth it.

I want Radiohead to be playing, maybe Grizzlybear. I showed Eden Dory by Grizzly bear, I think he liked it but he called it "cute". I would like to play that as people came up and said good bye.

I want to surprise them later, after an article gets put in the local paper of the grave being dug up. I want to visit friends and relatives then disappear. Then I want a religion to start based on my Teachings. Not that I have any. Not that that ever mattered.

Surely that's not too much to ask.

So it only seemed fitting that if I were to wear a 60s style outfit tonight, and coming home to watch An Education that I should post a little.

I have a confession. I have been in love with the 60s since I found my mother's eye makeup in pea greens and baby blues. So! When my aunty found out about this, she bought me neutral coloured lipstick - but warned me that on average, a girl eats 8 pounds of fat via lipstick during her life time.

Anyway, the 60s. I should have existed, and here are some lovely pictures

Something that has always impressed me about my step mother is her sense of style. I mean, she will be well into her fifties but I have more than once heard my peers admit (quite openly, and fowardly) how attractive she is to them. And they're mid twenties - perhaps it's the candid-cum-blase way they speak about it, but it still sits oddly with me. I hope that's not an inappropriate thing to say.

Undeniably she's a chic woman though. It's awesome and bizzare to be able to share a wardrobe with her. (Her throw-outs are always epic in proportion and very fruitful for the poorer among us). You must understand that my ma is half my height and 1-2 sizes bigger than me, so generally we don't share.

Anyway, throw out = leopard print leggings. She's the only woman her age that I know of who has, and can pull off, leopard print. It's that Milanese chic, that vivre that she has - which is most usually a hit as opposed to a miss - that makes her a stylish woman.

Sometimes these people can teach you that there are really no boundaries when you love fashion. You just have to go with what works for you.

You can, however, in this picture, see that I both my face and my cleavage is looking very tired - so I shall retire. Take it easy, Ether. Happy easter.

I'll get to fashion week later.






Don't you find when you get sick that all you want to do is feel pretty? I don't get why people, on their ugly days, dress in trackies and eat ice cream. Hell no, I dress to the nines and turn heads. Like today - I have been pretty freaking sick so I dressed up rule nice and I do feel better.

Skirt = Pilfered from my mother
Top = Hong Kong
Shoes = Hush puppies

I really like the 90s grunge rocker of the top meets 1950s housewife feel. Somehow this works, with the skirt and the shoes and the cardy being 1950s and pert, and the top being so lax and 90s. The colours all mesh so fantastically. Oh, and what is this? A little bit of cow-cha in the skirt? It has sequins, to! Faces from Vermir and Botecelli make this skirt extra nice




Now I feel better.

Fashion Week, Day One






Ok, so this is a day late. But to be honest, I've been so run off my feet with things, sidewalk shows, Runway last night. This is what I wore! Yes I wore it the other night, but tonight my hair was dyed!

I'm told on good authority that I stand out with it this colour, I really love it. The lovely people at Salon on Macleay were nice enough to squeeze me in at late notice, so I suggest when you are next in town to check them out. Super cheap, super lovely
, very nice place. Tots magots. /plugplug

The vibe at the runway was fucking AWFUL. They really don't lie when they say that fashion events are completely bitchy. It's like the bitchy gets in the air and it's all downhill from there.

The models were largely pretty well weighted, but there was this one girl that I kept looking at. They kept putting her in short skirts and as my eyes ran up her matchstick legs, I couldn't help feeling like I was being led to believe that there was nothing between those legs but a barbie-like smoothness.

p.s. a keen thanks to El for my makeups!
