My Current Obsessions

Maniamania, the kind of jewellery I imagine a New Mexico living, crystal loving, new age hippie would sport if they had been introduced to the design talents of Tamila Purvis and Melaine Kamsler.

Sweetheart Can Bargain

To be perfectly honest, the only thing I noticed about the Burberry Fall 2010 Ready-to-Wear were the divine, covetable and insanely wearable jackets. My biggest problem? I'm not sure which one I like best.

Oh Sam, What Do You Think Of That?

Grace Coddington, creative director of U.S Vogue, the very reason to watch The September Issue and the only reason I read U.S Vogue.
Lyric: Oh Sam - The Vasco Era

I Know What's To Come

Part tribal romanticism, part casual elegance and all sex. Sarah-Jane Clarke and Heidi Middleton bring their Australian style to London Fashion Week.

So Sweet, You Make My Mouth Water

I'm not usually a fan of Marchesa, but the latest collection by Georgina Chapman is so exquistie, so well executed, I've been converted.

The Rest Of The Nothing Of Anyhow

For me, the most impressive aspect of Nicole and Michael Colovos' designs is their ability to create not only a uniform aesthetic, but an array of well tailored separates that work in an already established wardrobe. The Fall 2010 Ready-to-Wear Helmut Lang collection avoids the drawback of instant fashion - inaccessibility - and creates clothes that are not only fashionable, but extremely wearable.

Most Wanted

Currently wishing I owned every single one of Matina Amanita's 'Little Bird' rings from her Spring/Summer 2010 collection. So adorable and oh so covetable.

But I Run Too Slow

If you have the time and the inclination, I strongly suggest perusing the stunning images Tommy Ton (the genius behind Jak & Jil) captured from the Adam Kimmel Fall/Winter 2010/2011 fashion show. I would re-post the images here, but in all honesty the (horrifying) masks the models are sporting scare the absolute beejeezus out of me. All it needs is a clown and I'll be having nightmares for weeks.

By The Time That Midnight Strikes

Just a few inspiring images to get you through the day.

Darling Heart, I Loved You From The Start

I love the simplicity of this dress, especially when paired with the silver heels. Calvin Klein + Kate Bosworth = ah-mazing.
