California Poppies With You

The concept of this Mary Katrantzou Spring 2011 Ready-to-Wear collection is so perfect, so ingenious that for a moment it stunned me into silence. This is quite possibly one of my favourite collections of the past few years and after analysing every little detail of these effortless pieces, I began to notice all the intricacies I'd overlooked. Embellished necklaces fashioned from light fixtures and draped chiffon imitating billowing curtains. And the shoes. Vibrant jewel tones and at times subtle, classic shapes. Perfect.

When We Erupt Into A Room

Adore the Rolling Stones, David Bowie vibe of this August 2010 Interview editorial. Plus it's Freja, so what's not to love?

Makes My Heart Race And Flutter

From the October 2010 edition of UK Vogue.

This Is Our Last Dance

I love that Alexander Wang stayed away from black for his Spring 2011 collection. I especially love the burnt orange boots, which I'm pretty sure I need this very second.

We Rode On Horses Made Of Sticks

Recovering from the mind numbing essay has turned into recovering from a strong case of the flu. My throat is sore, by body aches and I fairly sure that death is imminent. So until I stop coughing like a pack a day smoker enjoy the images above.

Do You Think I Came To Fight?

The past few days have been spent working tirelessly on a assignment which I had studiously been ignoring on the basis that if I can't see it, it doesn't exist. Not exactly that smartest move, but effective nonetheless. The assignment is finished, but I'm fairly sure I've slipped into some sort of coma. I actually spent 20 minutes trying to remember the word 'freedom'. Not good. So until I recover, enjoy some Superman (Dean Cain not included).

As The Boundaries Begin To Swirl

As I've said before Catherine McNeil is one of my favourite models, Australian or otherwise. Her appearance in the September issue of Vogue Australia has only cemented by love. Gorgeous girl and gorgeous editorial.
