Phillip Lim

When I was perusing the fabulous wares in The Corner Shop in Sydney, where I picked up my bargainous Vanessa Bruno dress, I had my first exposure to Phillip Lim's beautiful designs. I was drooling, my sister can vouch for it, but I sadly left empty-handed. Well, no Phillip Lim in my hands anyway. Here are a few looks from the resort 2010 collection for you to enjoy, showcased by women who appear to be standing on each others heads in some bizarre circus balancing act. Aren't I funny? x

Beware of the necklace

This is a bit cool I think? Could be dangerous though. x

Pretty woman

This is my darling friend Tess. I managed to get a couple of quick shots of her when we were having breaky at the Wild Fig back in Perth. She was a reluctant subject, which is just silly because she's so pretty! Tess moved over to London around the same time as me, summer 2006, but she's moved home now. She was a constant in my London life so it feels weird without her. I miss her loads! x 

Pages and pages

Here is a treat for your inbox, if you don't have enough bombarding you already! Pages is a super-rad online magazine, hailing from Australia. It launched in January 2004 to much acclaim, which prompted its publishing house, PagesDigital, to add another couple of top-draw rags to its collection and begin touting itself as a 'newsagent in your inbox'. I've been getting Pages 'delivered' for ages now but I just 'flicked through' (he, he) the February issue, which is particularly fabulous. I love all the fashion and wanted to post on the editorial, which features clothes from the likes of Zimmermann and Marnie Skillings, but couldn't manage to pilfer the images. Oh well, you'll have to check them out yourself by going to the linky link above. x 

Time team

I adore this watch! The clutch, by Sofia Coppola for Louis Vuitton, is pretty hot too. But I NEED this watch. Don't know who it's by but the fact this chic madam is holding said purse implies it ain't gonna be cheap. Sigh. If anyone is feeling generous, my address is 54 Highbury Park London... he he. It's actually kind of similar to the Michael Kors one I bought James a couple of years back. Perhaps I should just steal his? I'm sure he won't mind!? x

Postcards from Rio...

... just kidding, I'm still in London. And these aren't my photos, I'm ripping off Garance Dore's again. Sorry. It's just I absolutely adore the ones she took on her recent escapade to the Brazilian capital. Both these shots are from Ipanema beach. I am also tossing up whether to go to South America later in the year. I know I mentioned Central America the other day but now the traveling thing is all up in the air. If anyone ever needed an incentive though, I'm sure you'll agree these photos would get you on a plane before you could say Copacabana!! I particularly love the sunset shot below. For some reason I can't ever manage sunsets on my camera. They just don't come out. Any tips Nikon lovers? x

A cut above

The below pics are from an editorial in the latest UK Dazed & Confused magazine and I thought I'd post on them because I reckon they're really cool. What do you think? P.S. I'm planning on going to central America later in the year and I'm properly excited! x
