BADUISM

The amazing Erykah Badu!!!!!!!

I love this women, she's a queen & I can't think of a better person to be inspired by. I love being inspired by musicians. I love love love her latest album. Now, that theres alot of love!

My crouch position in the raglan sleeve ain't as cool as hers, but hey I try! This t-shirt dress was made for my fashion show at the end of last year. The pic is taken by the very talented Miss Elisha.

LIKE TOY SOLDIERS

I'm just really enjoying this photograph. What an incredible location.

FEMME FATALE

What a stunner Cat McNeil hot off the press! I remember seeing her in Russh mag when I first moved to Aussie a couple of years back & now look at her what a superstar deluxe!

I'm so anxious to start creating my own images & photo shoots! I'm so inspired, but my life is kinda on hold until I go on my trip to Dubai next week. I feel so due for a holiday and I'm really looking forward to spending quality time with family when I'm there. Even though we are very close we all live in different countries, so its going to be really special.

If anyone out there has any suggestions for cool places to visit in Dubai, I'd love to hear from you! Oh and I'm looking to buy a camera...any ideas on brands/makes??

Cheers everyone for the comments so far.... mad love! x

Don't RUSSH me

How incredible are those boots!? Even though I'm almost over the denim short & bleach thing, I think this Nov/Dec 2008 Russh editorial shot by Derek Henderson is hot stuff!

You can check out more of Derek Henderson's photography here. ...I really love how he captures New Zealand, makes me feel home sick.

MEAN GREEN

Out the back of my house is this big old convent (no nuns anymore) surrounded by beautiful gardens and farm animals. I feel really lucky to have all this green and still be right near the city. I tell you it keeps me sane.

Elisha and I did this photo shoot before the 'bathroom' one when it was still warm.

This is a crazy random jumpsuit I made. It's funny coz I didn't really plan an outfit for this, it was more about experimenting with a photo shoot.

I'm going to Dubai in a couple of weeks to visit my mum who recently moved there from New Zealand, can't wait!! Its gonna be scorching hot there now. I'm hoping to buy a camera on my travels so I can do my own outfit posts etc. That'd be sweet.

WHATS THE TIME MR WOLF?

First I saw it on Style Like U worn by the charming Siena Fleming, then I take a visit to Jak & Jil and lookie here...

Love the way the very talented Raez from Cheap Thrills does it! (Sorry I stole your pics Raez, love your work!)

Usually my neck looks like this with piles o chain & rope everywhere, so maybe I will make the transition to the wrist!?

LIU IN PRADA

Liu Wen in Vogue China June 2009

I really loved this Prada collection from Spring '09. I like to re-visit past collections all the time because it always moves so fast! That's the thing I adore about fashion but also find sad. Feels like there are so many collections coming out at the moment, I wish I had more time to view them...first pre-fall then menswear then resort and now couture! Yeh it's fabulous really.

Anyway back to Prada Spring '09, it was the fabric & texture that really did it for me. One of my favourite pieces was this skirt in the pic below...I have had plans for awhile now to make a similar one. If I could look as half as good as Liu up there........!

Also LOVE all the straps & so forth dangling everywhere....kinda punky/hospital gown....if anyones gonna make hospital gown look good its Muicca, now that's genius.

JUNKY

This post aint fashion based but I thought it'd be cool to share something else....

There's an artist that obviously lives somewhere near me, people from Melbourne probably know who he/she is or seen Junky's work floating around the place.

I've got about a 5-10 minute walk to the vege markets on Saturday mornings and I kept noticing these creatures on random lamp-posts. One Saturday I decided to take their picture....We got so many Junkies in our hood!!

Not sure where I got this picture!? Let me know if you know so I can credit properly

WHITE SHIRT & MOSCHINO

Please excuse the very messy workroom in the background. I was just playing around with a big 'ol men's shirt.

DREAM ON

Damn it, I wish I had found this image for my Quixotic post!

Viktor & Rolf DREAM coat if ya didn't already know.

CLEAN START

Me cleaning the bathroom. haha Yeah Right...trying too!

I've been feeling a lil scared about putting myself up here, so I thought I'd start with a real simple outfit & just show off my friend Elisha's hot shit photography.

My camera has busted so at the moment it's difficult for me to do my own outfit images but that will most definitely change. Elisha and I have fun doing photo shoots together and so that will continue (ay Elisha!).

A quick word on my threads; my jeans are from Melbourne based label Nobody. Check these guys out coz they are real comfortable and they actually fit my bootay, that's a miracle! My top, well that's a quickie I made a long time ago one hot summers afternoon.

QUIXOTIC

I was at a festival in my dream last night & I'm left with that fun sort of feeling, niiiiice!

I took extra notice of that because the last few nights before, my dreams have been quite taxing.

Yes, I'm a crazy dreamer, every night and I usually remember them in the morning. Whether I'm left with just the feeling, or chopped up images, or have a vivid recollection.

Sometimes I feel that I live more strongly in my unconscious world!? Maybe I just feel calmer or understand things better when ideas are more of an abstraction than an everyday thought. Probably why I've always been into anything visual. Anyhow, I like what my dreams tell me, I find them really use full & I learn a lot.

Anyone out there a dreamer too?
