How do I say this...

I may be about to renounce Christianity and start my own cult. Actually, this cult probably already exists but I shall call it Bailey-ism. This feeling has been brewing for a few seasons in fact I may have been born with it but I'm totally obsessed and in love with the new Burberry Prorsum collection. I also, for those cynical readers, know i should have already posted this fashion week related rant by now but i have been really really busy so watch out as the fashion week flood gates are now officially open.

This look is heaven, The perfect mix of neutral tones, tough girl studs, sexy black boots and over sized shearling jacket. Don't get me started on the perfectly un-brushed hair. Military will always be big and get ready for shearling.

Love. love. love.

If anyone else had put this together it would look like Mrs Maclean, god bless her, our high school librarian. Instead, Mr Bailey made it chic and sexy like its no body's business. It involves the perfect amount of sheer and the most attentive of tailoring.

I have no words for this coat, oh wait yes I do.. BA-NANAS!

Naughty lieutenant meets Matrix. Yes, he went there. Are you as glad as i am?

Boom! Right out of left field. I'm giddy. Seriously.

Okay I'll stop drooling. This shock of blue is right on cue. Droplets of cobalt have been sneaking in everywhere for the last few seasons and finally it has erupted properly. Well, it erupted in that fantastic speech on "The Devil Wears Prada" but, its back again i tell you. In this case its nice to see more boldly coloured trenches as the sugar shades of Burberry's Summer collection were so scrumptious it would be a shame for them all to disappear.

There are no apple bottom jeans but there are boots with the fur. They are divine and they will keep me awake at night scheming about how i may get my hands on them. Fashion week doesn't come with price lists but according to my calculations they will cost my kidney, liver, right eye and first born. But, me thinks it might be worth it.

All this super chic was created by a man. Can you believe it? Men in fashion are positively out of control at the moment. Mmm...that's a great post idea. Stay tuned.

For now I won't post any more pictures and hopefully that will encourage you to go look at the show yourself. Take with you this: when winter hits, rock military in style as you can buy it anywhere and for any price and watch out for fur, leather clothing (chaps not included), shearling and bold colour injections. They will be your best friends.

Easy peesy lemon squeezy.

Gap tooth girls

So, when i was 12 i went through some seriously traumatic orthodontic work. My teeth were forcefully swayed out of the big book of British smiles and onto the straight and narrow. Years (and years and years) later I am over the trauma (cough, Jan Brady taunts) and enjoy my Colgate smile.Some however, went down the road God gave them and kept their gaps. Gap tooth gals are rocking the fashion world right now so watch out!

Think Lara Stone, Georgia Jagger, Jess Hart and Anna Paquin to name a few. Not to mention Lauren Hutton who never lost her cool.

I and everyone else in the industry love this eccentric look and the personal twist they give our shots.

I might also add, blondes are back. Commanding your attention down the catwalk are Hanne Gaby Odiele, Jessica Stam, Lily Donaldson, Raquel Zimmerman. Not to mention Anja, Sasha and Natasha as usual.

El naturelle? Not sure but who cares.. get involved.

Shopping list:

YvvesSaintLaurent earrings. I would pretend I mined these stones myself. Good party story.

Margiela Ring. Power ring. Watch out!

Kiki De Montparnasse bra. Nice peaking out of a sheer t-shirt right? Does sheer plus sheer equal a whole?? i hope so.

Christopher Kane Dress. Dreamy.

Christopher Kane Jacket. Gimme!

APC Sneakers. For cruising on my imaginary yacht.

Giles and Brother necklace- Ships ahoy!

Damaris bodysuit. Right on!


I want these. All of these. Please note donations are welcome but i have expensive taste so dig deep. Very deep.

Please also note the lacey bits and bobs are not Valentine's day related but merely an example of the current taste for underwear as outwear. I am also a V-day grinch. It makes me somewhat stabby.

On location

These shots are all from our great shoot down the south coast last week. What do you think?

Laneway not Lameway

I have to admit I thought I was getting too old for festivals. Yes, at the weary age of 23 i was exhausted by Big day out, Homebake and Park Life. By the time Good vibes rolled around I was not keen at all and preferred to stay in bed.

I was particularly O V E R it due to the sheer fact that people at these places annoy me . I don't like when people coordinate outfits, i don't like boys in fluoro Bonds singlets and i don't see why people think its okay to wear ridiculous sunglasses on these days.

Yes I am a festival Grinch but the mass populace generally scares me. Any who my point is that I may be a convert after attending St Jerome's Laneway festival recently. This is like the Glenmore road of festivals as opposed to the Big day out being the Parramatta Westfield of festivals.

Everyone here looked super cool, there were less people and there was no B.O. Isn't that fab?

The whole festival was just an uber cool club of Sydney strolling around and do you know what i liked best?It was the fact that I could not really pick up on any trends because these people were cool enough to wear what they liked not what Kate Moss Ala Glastonbury told them to.

Boys were rocking loads of RVCA jeans and a few cool cats were channelling the Rockabilly look. Girl wise i honestly couldn't tell you as they were all so different. There was a large Russh population, all the showroom girls and tonnes of stylists, including my fave Tamila Purvis. I was certainly staring at them all behind my shades.

Meow.

Jess Hart Shoot

So, can you recognise those pins from a mile off or what? We had the privilege of shooting the lovely Jess Hart again.

It was stinking hot and Australia day but the girl is such a dream boat no one was bothered.

Look at this amazing house where we shot below. Looks like it belongs in The Shining right?

It was all boarded up down stairs but upstairs were these amazing pink and blue plastered walls with stain glass windows and huge Victorian tiled fire places.

I was in love with the house. I want to be a lady of the manor. Please submit details of eligible British nobility so I can marry myself into a house like this.

Back on the fashion track however, we had a killer team and the pictures were superb. We took her down a different road to most and styled her in nudes and grown up pastel colours. She was not allowed to stick her tongue out or her middle finger up at any point despite the fact she loves to. She looked incredible like this. Usually she styles herself really rock chick in black and leather but this feminine take on her looked divine.

Live and love

Hi love for Low Luv

Once again perpetually cool Erin Wasson is making me swoon and drool. This time its with her "user friendly" costume jewelry range with heavy weight Pascal Mouawad.

The pieces continue on her imagined wandering in the desert inspiration train of thought which was also behind her RVCA collection. Yum yum bubblegum indeed. They have Mexican metal work references and are as raw and beautiful as her. I would layer and layer these babies up. They are allegedly going to sell for a minimum of $80 but may be as high as $375 from Miijo. So maybe i will layer one with some diva pieces. Since bling bling money is currently a thing. An imaginary thing.

Live it and love it.
