Speaking of Terry Richardson.





I have been meaning to put this up for you to see as I know it will interest you given your current design topic. You want design illustrating sex...? I think this might take it to the next level!

I have read so many terrible things about supposedly perverted Mr. T. Richardson. But honestly? He is the pioneer of "sit-up-and-look" photogrpahy! The guy might be a fiend, but he's certainly talented.

Photos taken for Purple magazine, fall 09. Note: Abbey Lee makes another appearance.

Finally!



So, I finally ballsed up and got my nose pierced- are you proud of me?!

Check out the photos of Abbey Lee in Vogue Nippon. Terry Richardson may be a sex fiend but he sure gets my attention. She looks so bad ass with a nose ring!





Scarlett Johannson though? Wow. Suprising. Still badass.

It hasn't swollen yet, so hopefully it stays calm and I can put a ring in it soon!

The definition of "yeti".

Remember how I told you about a girl I met at The Library the other night who was wearing the most unbelievable black fluffy coat?

Here is it! It's from the new season of Shakuhachi and has only just touched down here!



It's absolutely beautiful and has now climbed its way into my "must have" list. Bugger. It's totally happening however. Look at, get jealous and weep!

xx

P.S. We need to make Bee cupcakes for her bday.

COVET.






Check out this lady's beautiful shoes. I heard of them about 6 months ago and since then I see them in pretty much every fashion magazine I pick up! They are absolutely beautiful- something to covet while I stem further into my new shoe obsession!

I heart Camilla Skovaard! Get this: she went to SHOE university and then at the age of 20 she was paid to move to Dubai to personally make shoes for Sheiks and royalty.

I even found an american stockist who sells last season pairs on ebay! Things to look forward to with a full time job!

Hope this fashion week thing works out! Hope you're getting through your ludicrus amounts of work! xx

Possible good find?

So, as I am being so hard today I have found this.

Could be crap but I am thinking positively and that it's not. I wish I didn't have size nine feet. Not hot at all.

Hope you're getting more work done than me! XX

Blondie= my old/new/found again/still love.




I am smitten with Debbie Harry. Always have, always will. Her style is effortless and it's exactly whatever the hell she wants it to be!

I love people like her, makes me want to go nuts with the wardrobe!

This:


I don't know, I feel kind of funny putting this photo up but it haunts me.

You've probably seen this image a million times but there is something about that compels me to stare at it.

The photographer, Carter, took this photo in the Sudan in '94 and committed suicide three days later. Makes me think too hard.

Night. Keep breathing- holidays are coming soon!

FLORENCE and pigeon post?



Florence is coming to town FLORENCE is coming to town FLORENCE IS COMING TO TOWN!!

Could I BE anymore excited??!!!

P.S. I watched the last episode of season six of Sex and the City this morning ( I refuse to apologise for that!) and "You got the Love" was playing at the very end when Carrie moves back to NY. Goes to show how long it takes for us Kiwi's to receive news!

Look what's back!



I fell in love with these when they came the first time around.

Maurie and Eve. Swoon.

Now they're coming back and I am thinking about perhaps putting them on pre-order!

???

Not anytime soon after buying that dress, but don't you love it?!

Lonely Hearts find!



So this dress has come into work and it's thrown my life out of kilter- I can't stop thinking about it! Initially when I pulled it out I thought how difficult to wear it is and then I keep coming up with times when I can totally chuck it on- including the upcoming "ball" party.

I wish you could see the top, it's stunning. It's a low, sheer, spaghetti-strapped singlet. Come and check it out. It's dreamy!

ZIPPORA!!


I was just cruising thesartorial.blogspot.com as per usual before I snooze and look who I found- ya mate!

I think it's incredible that someone who oozes so much talent and confidence is from our own backyard (ahem, essentially).

WHAT a babe!

Zimmermann is in!



Big BIG deal- apparently Zimmermann is soon to be stocked at Ruby! Only the swimwear though. It's a step in the right direction! HEART.

I do LOVE this neckline and shoulder feature.






So far, from what I have read people are a little disappointed with the lack of pizazz shown by SGC. People thought the notorious party crew would "wow" but for their Australian debut, it was sand and the Flintstones.

I am amazed at the line of prints they are going down! They may market themselves well and they certainly make themselves recognisable but wearable...?

The one aim for impending temperatures!

photo's from dailymail.co.uk

Of course, we'll look like Kate.





I have figured it's time to make lemons from this horrific weather which I know is about to be dropped.

Gumboots! I was kind of gutted it wasn't wet enough to pull them out at R and V. I think we need to get photo's of us reppin' them HARD on C Street outside the Slimebox!

Can't wait until I can finally make it to Glastonbury where it's considered uniform!

Zooey. Be mine!




She sings. She acts. She changes my life!

How incredibly beautiful is she? She channels both 50's and 80's hard and somehow does it with ease.

When in doubt- eat chocolate.


I can't decide whether I am hungry or snoozey or sicky.

Whatever, I am just amped on these! It's like kinder suprise chocolate but kiwi-sized. Deliriously happy right now. That could be from the cold though.

Sneezles.


I think I have the flu coming on.

Check out what a sneezing fit did to my beautifully applied eyeliner!

Romance!



I love that you added those glasses! Best theme for a party ever!

I just wanted to open your eyes to the world of Romance Was Born. I have been crushing on these guys for ages and I keep dropping hints at work that they should look into it and get rid of some things we currently stock... you know what I mean!

I really think that there is something fresh with their work and hugely marketable in NZ. Especially Wellington! I have looked through all every single piece from every collection of the last three years and I am not joking when I say I actually want to rape and pillage for every piece. Check out their website http://www.romancewasborn.com/main.html and try and tell me that their season "Nightmare of Wallstreet" is not hotter than sex. Apparently it is stocked in Children of Vision in Auckland. I really must go check this place out, I have heard a lot about it recently!

This weeks mission: gym membership. Six months of eating lollies in bed in not okay.

xx

Glasses fantastic



The search...




I am still yet to find my perfect pair of over the knee boots. I know they're out there but they don't cost $600 and they don't have hooker heels on them! I am scared they're going to make my legs looks even stumpier on though. I LOVED wearing those over the knee socks last night! I felt like it adds a heap of quirk plus it was super freezing outside!

Sigh.

Until then!

P.S. How sore are your eyes? We threw the most epic party!! Woooohoooo! I think next time we need to get a wee bonfire out under the cover. Thoughts?

These are stolen from Vogue Spain. Isn't Julia Stegner stunning? Jealous.
