Rainy day

IT'S RAINING!!
YAYAYAYAYAYAY
But I have hockey training which smells :(


Secondly, I really really really want to do this to my room's walls, but to do it I need a polaroid camera....anyone know where you can buy them that is pretty cheap in Australia?


And finally, I found these photos on someones Flickr (if thats how you spell it..?) and I couldn't resist putting them up on my page so I can look at them all the time. And no, they are not pictures of hot boys.

Keke Lindgard by Knoepful & Indlekofer for Vogue Germany July 2010

Taking high fashion looks to the skating park is an awesome idea to begin with. German Vogue fashion editor Nicola Knels pieces together an amazing wardrobe of ensembles from Giorgio Armani, Versace, Prada and others, and stars Keke Lindgard as the only girl in a group of rough and bad-ass skaterboys.





RIP

RIP Tom Nicon :(

In case you don't know who he is, Nic Hutton was the face of Burberry. During Men's fashion week there is a planned tribute to the young French model (he was only 22).The suicide of one so young seems especially tragic. His friends and family had no idea Nicon was so depressed, and apparently he took his life over a broken heart:( RIP

Below are some shots of him; the black and white ones are for Burberry and the others are a couple from a magazine editorial which I loved :)



Camp report

I need to vent:
THE FOOD AND ACCOMMODATION AT CAMP WAS SOOOO BAADDDDDDD!
The menu consisted of ham sandwiches, watery rice, and various other meals which left me no other option but to resort to the cup noodles which I packed in my suitcase. They also only served us WATER at night, leaving me thirsty throughout the duration of the days which consisted of seminars concerning 'Study Skills'. The accommodation made jails look like the Park Hyatt.

On a lighter note, the landscape was beautiful. It was amazing that it was only a 40 minute drive from the city and it was that relaxing, it felt like I was on the coast some 6 hours away. Some of the seminars were really interesting, including one on time management, which I really tried to listen to, trying not to fall asleep after watching Buffy all night (Riley and Spike are really sexy). We also had a guy come and talk to us about date rape and somehow managed to make it really enjoyable and funny! I learnt that the best method to get out of a bad situation is rather than trying to punch them down and run, go along with it then ask to go to the bathroom, then leave from there. HOW SMART IS THAT!?

On another lighter note, our grade watched the movie Lars and the Real Girl. Ryan Gosling. Yes. He is such an amazing actor and the movie in general is really something special. It was our last camp for high school, and even though it was bad accommodation, food, and one to many prank calls, anything that involves my friends means that I have the best time ever (cheesy I know...)

Thankyou for putting up with my rant. Now for some pretty pictures which sum up my mood now i'm Home, Sweet Home.





It's raining and cold outside...

Luke Sales and Anna Plunkett/Romance Was Born

It would take a lot to turn down an internship with the renowned John Galliano, but believe it or not, that’s what Anna Plunkett and Luke Sales had to do in order to pursue and establish their dream brand of Romance Was Born.

Career Highlights:
* In 2008 they produced a capsule collection for retail giant Sportsgirl.
* Romance Was Born won the L’Oreal Melbourne Fashion Festival Designer Award in 2008. “We are bold and innovative in the way we design, so it’s good to know people can appreciate it,” Plunkett says.
* At Australian Fashion Week in 2009 they held an ocean themed collection at the Sydney Theatre Company’s wharf.
* Myf Shepherd appeared on the cover of Vogue Australia, July 2009 in their designs

For your enjoyment

Ahhh the pretty face of Ryan Gosling

Note To Self

GET A JOB!
When I say goodbye to school, all I want to do is TRAVEL! But I have recently had the epiphany that I can dream about doing it as much as I want, but to actually DO IT, means I need money, which means I need a job! Better start looking...



Decisions, decisions

I have decided I need a friend who can do this in my hair.


And I have also decided I am going to make a tent like this to sleep in throughout the coming holidays.

More music....

Signs by Bloc Party
Sound in this video is pretty poor, abit off key..if you have the time find another video or file to hear the origional!
Some international Vogue editorials :)




The cover below is on the German July Vogue, and I must say I want that bikini top and those sunnies....

MK & A

I actually do consider myself a fan of Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen...Unlike other child stars they have managed to create really remarkable careers in the entertainment and fashion industry, and have thus become highly successful business women in their own right. They created the high-fashion label 'The Row' which, unlike the countless other labels created by celebrities, truly is notable, and even got its own show at New York Fashion Week.

From Style.com:
"It's not every day that designers brand-new to the runway score front-row coups like Chloë Sevigny and Oscar nominee Carey Mulligan. But then, The Row's Ashley and Mary-Kate Olsen aren't your everyday designers. One of the very few celebrity/fashion success stories, the three-year-old label has become known for its subtly luxurious fabrics as well as its understated and classic yet still somehow edgy cuts, both of which were in evidence at the show today."

Below is a shoot with them for Vogue Italia (yes, I am obsessed with Vogue Italia)



Vogue Italia

My sister recently purchased the latest edition of Vogue Italia and I love the shoots because of the amazing clothes and photography. Vogue Australia's shoots aren't all that amazing, and if you want a Vogue, go for the Italia, as even if you can't read Italian, the photography is amazing.

Bruce Weber captures love in London in his effort for the current issue of Vogue Italia. Simply communicating the idea of adoration, his shoot is structured like a story, the couple below being on scenario..that guy is so cute...





Here are the highlights of one of the many other amazing shoots..
