i was a bit naughty...

as i mentioned in my previous post, today i went to chadstone. and i was a tad extravagant. for my birthday, 'sunglasses hut' sent me a $20 gift voucher, and being the sucker that i am, i used it today, i bought the limited edition 'tom ford james bond 007' aviators, they're kind of amazing... light as a feather, with leather bound arms, totally luxurious, MAGIC...


i also bought an ex-army jacket, from 'aussie disposals.' i tried on about half-a-dozen different ones over the course of the day, a couple from general pants co., one from glue and a couple from myer, all at varying price points. none of them, however, felt right, kind-of 'try-hard,' they lacked authenticity, so remembering 'a-d' was at cranbourne, i stopped off, and much to my delight, they had this little beauty... the tag is even in russian, how more authentic can you get...

i also had a mini-shopping spree at 'borders,' buying the new 'us vogue' with la bundchen on its cover + the lonely planets guide to new york [planning a trip for september with my friend ellen, whether or not we actually go is another thing, but still, it's fun to fantisize] + 2 penguin books, for future train rides to melbourne and lazy afternoons...

what i wore today...

today i went to chadstone + this morning, when getting dressed, i was inspired by the ysl s-s 10 video i posted yesterday. stefano's play on proportion, long torso, short legs, his play on tonal dressing, mixing textures. creating a long and languid casual silhouette. i think i achieved the ysl look quite well.

cardigan/ frisoni finetti
tee/ ??? from lady luck on chapel street [don't think it is there anymore]
pants/ awesome tweed granny pants that come up to my nipples, bought from st. vinnies
shoes/ prada studded brogues [HEART]

eye-dee...

new issue of i-d already, it comes around so quickly. like last issue, this new i-d comes with 3 special covers, a wet sasha in alexander mcqueen, a fierce looking freja and a sweetly winking natalia. can't wait, with the spring 2010 season being such a diverse one, this should be a real page turner. i think i will be getting sasha's, she looks stunning + she's wearing mcqueen, kinda special...

ysl s-s 10

amazing...

how to wear denim [anywhere]

this is the editorial i was talking about before... the shots are amazing, the lighting, the clothes, the styling, the bodies, the faces... perfection

acne x lanvin

genius... such a brilliant collaboration, the great lanvin shapes rendered in denim, instant luxe casual ease.

art...

ready for my close-up, 'hey i-d magazine, make me your next cover star!' getting creative with my ysl wallet. n.b. patent leather + flash + bad lighting = no good :(
isn't she lovely...
yesterday i went to melbourne, to spend my birthday money [and a little of my own...] i came home with the new issue of 'vman,' featuring jo-bro nick on the cover. there some brilliant edits in here, 'how to wear denim [anywhere]' shot by mario testino, as the title hints, is an ode to ol' blue. the edit features jon k, andres v + jake d, i will put up some pics from said edit in a sec...


+ bought a bottle of tom ford's grey vetiver, it's amazing and so potent, one spray has lasted the whole day... heavenly
