Karen Walker

Sitting at university studying, I have just spotted a girl very stylishly and unpretentiously dressed. She is wearing my favourite piece from the Karen Walker spring 10 collection.



With beautiful golden peace symbol buttons, verticle navy inspired lining and a back which is tucked at the top and drapes down like a sailor inspired greek gown (oxymoron i know but it works!), the jacket is a almost a piece of art..Well it isnt quite haute couture, perhaps I'm getting ahead of myself...anyway if you live in the vicinity of a Karen Walker store and need a jacket (yes, its waterproof too!) then check check check it!!

To be honest this is a very bad image and definitely does not show the jackets true beauty very well at all. Actually, it kind of kills me to be posting it... I am disappointed in Miss Karen for the way in which she displays the dress in her show. I am trying to find a better pic (Fashion Quarterly Winter shows it well in a shoot) however the university internet is frustratingly slow and this quick study break blogpost is beginning to turn into the (currently illegal in my books) form of procrastination! I shall try to remedy the problem at a latter date.

The ghost who walks...

Karen Elson has just released her debut album entitled the ghost who walks. Rather befittingly as the album truly is hauntingly beautiful. I would love to be able to sing like this woman!





She is actually the wife of The White Stripes' Jack White, as well as a former model (she modelled for Marc Jacobs whilst pregnant! <3). However she writes all her own stuff. Many of the youtube comments attribute her amazing talent to Jack. Which of course is ridiculous because although he is a little bit maybe kind of God he still cant give someone a voice like this! (Yet. Maybe when his secret muso powers have gotten stronger??)

Gail Sorronda latest collection, its love!

Australian model turned designer Gail Sorronda's Autumn/Winter range has just emerged and it is amaaazing. Dark and beatiful, the range is very feminine with lots of pretty draping and sheer fabrics. Her Spring/Summer range was a hit at Australian fashion week and for good reason too. Her designs are intellegent, clever and wearable (with the exception of course, of one or two beauteous couture-like pieces).
With cute little pieces like the Black Chalk headband (pictured below) one can quite easily jazz up an otherwise simple outfit.

Here are some pics for you. Sorronda also writes an awesome blog, full of inspirations and pretty eye candy. You can check it out here: http://gailsorronda.blogspot.com/

Hunters and Collectors

Ok, so I have become very shit at blogging lately. I'm hoping I will suddenly discover more time in my life in which to blog. Until then...

Hunters and Collectors were a sweet band from the '80's. These two beauts were recorded in 1989 (my birth year!)

Throw Your Arms Around Me - Slow Version

Lets face it, I'm a sucker for awesome (if not slightly cheesy at times) 80's music!
