Pre-Fall

Pre-Fall season is upon us and although it's literally melting weather in Sydney and the thought of wearing much more than a bikini or floating kimono seems unnatural, I still find the energy to appreciate the sublime knitwear and outerwear we will soon be able to enjoy!

Band of Outsiders had such a great collection, one of my favourites for sure. Also the shots are great fun. Such a charismatic beauty!

The modern take on a school girl plaid and simple florals make a nod to Bands' signature calling card of boyish, tailored separates and suiting, keeping it preppy but also pretty.

Scott Sternberg has once again hit the nail on the Band head and successfully continues to build on the fundamental aesthetic of the brand!

In the Industrie

Industrie is an independent magazine which prides itself on highlighting the true culture of the modern fashion industry through the ideas of the most influential personalities and moments. In doing so they are shifting the focus of trend and collection driven content that dominates mainstream fashion media to a more true representation of the talent behind the industry. 


Although this issue (issue 6) came out in August, It's still sitting on my dressing table ready to be read in full. It's almost as if I feel there will be too much insight in one sitting, so I've spaced it out!


The issue focuses on influence and the "Young Guns" of the industry with features on such talented creatives as Simone Rocha, Stevie Dance, Benjamin Lennox and Matthew Williamson.

There is also brilliant, insightful, honest and at times unexpectedly personal interviews with some people killing it the industry right now including Cara Delevingne, Emily Wiess, Ana Rubik, David Sims and Kenzo and Opening Ceremony's dynamic duo Humberto Leon and Carol Lim.

Hard Knock Life

Edie Campbell channeling her inner Charles Dickens for US Vogue.

I love her look so much!

Good Company

The Fall issue of ID Magazine features this really cool editorial entitled "No Road is Long with Good Company" with British model Sam Rollinson, shot by Richard Bush.

I love the mod lovers by the seaside thing Bush has captured so well through the black and white images. And I love Sam's Jackie O meets Annie Hall vibe. Great Styling!

Also I secretly want a major hair flicked bob now I think!

Help Yourself

I love Self Service  Magazine, It's so present, unique and has a way of being so effortlessly cool! 

I also love this editorial from issue #39  but as you probably worked out by now, anything with a slight 60's edge and a element of androgyny usually does it for me!

GIRL IN PROGRESS

This editorial shoot from the fall issue of The Journal features the beautiful Meghan Collison as a "Girl In Progress". I felt a particular sense of attachment to this shoot, especially the title as it suits my current state of undecidedness, but equally for the super cool garment and set styling of course!

Doillon Daze

I, like almost every other person with an admiration of women with timeless beauty, intelligence and substance, adore Jane Birkin. However, it's her youngest daughter Lou Doillon that I have been obsessed with recently. I've always loved her edgy, boyish style and am always tempted to re-cut my fringe every time I see a picture of her perfectly unkempt mane.

Having one of the most famous and beautiful women in popular history as your mother must make finding your place in life pretty daunting, but luckily Lou settled on being a musician.

Lou's haunting yet smooth vocals and thoughtful lyrics make her debut album Places so unique and the entire record is a testament to her charm and ability.
I can't wait to catch her next year on her visit to Australia for the ever so stylish french lifestyle festival, So Frenchy, So Chic!
