WISHBONE NECKLACE FROM MUM'S JEWELLERY BOX

CHEAP MONDAY CUFF

I seem to be forever tucking a piece of hair behind my ear, or staring at something particularly interesting on the ground. Will try and make an effort to look up more.

Anyway, this is my outfit from last night - I spent the funnest evening with the top top chicks over at Elise Garland PR. They held a Bloggers soirée in their amazing studio - where I selected my tops picks from their new Fall/Winter stock - including labels like Jac + Jack, The Casette Society, Morrison & many many more. My two favourite pieces were a) the most incredible white tailored jacket you've ever seen, by Morrison, and b) a floor length gold knit dress by Jac + Jack. Not going to lie, I struggled a little putting those two back on their racks...

Just want to say a HUGE thank you to the beautiful EGPR girls, for being so friendly and absolutely hilarious. Such a cool bunch of girls, that office has the best energy. And of course a giant thank you for spoiling me rotton with my overflowing goodie bag! I had such a fun night, and was so great to meet some fellow Aussie bloggers residing in Sydney town.

Pics of me and my picks will be up on the EGPR website in the coming months! x

Anyway, first week at Whitehouse wrapped up today - which is why I've been neglecting this space for the past week. BOOM 6 assignments already. But fun assignment, designing magazine covers and diving into the wonderful world of Surrealism. Salvador Dali, what a guy.

If there's one thing I'm bad at, it's making decisions like this. I'm heading up to Queensland in April for my Cousin's wedding, and just CANNOT decide what to buy for the occasion. I'm tossing up between these 9 dresses. ASOS truly has every event covered. Now, if you would be so kind - please help me pick one, just one. I'm leaning towards something structured...but then again, I love the loose shift minis. You see my problem? Who knows, I'm a lost cause when it comes to culling wishlists...

She's got something all the other girls don't have. And humility seems to come naturally to her.

Okay. Wow. I have never loved every single look in an entire collection before. But Proenza Schouler is just in another league. Every single model looks so so SO beyond perfect - it's just ridiculous. Anyway, these are the rest of my favourite looks from each collection. Vera Wang nails it every time. Also I never realised this before, but she has perfect hair. Have you seen it? Always sleek as. Theyskins Theory makes me almost want to wear a sheer top, braless...almost. And Marchesa, ohhh Marchesa. Georgina & Keren have the most fascinatingly dreamy brains. I bet its all gold and fairy dust in there. New York Fashion Week BOOM over, for another 6 months at least. Onto London town! I won't be doing any more Fashion Week collages, mainly because they take so SO long. I start my first week at Whitehouse on Tuesday, so need all the spare time I can get! Okay now I'm going to go to sleep before I become involuntarily nocturnal. Nighty night x

2012-02-19T01:20:00.000+10:30

About a month ago, I was lucky enough to be approached by General Pants Co. and asked to be their official blogger for the Adelaide Big Day Out. I was kindly gifted a double pass, and given the task of documenting my BDO experience through photos. So this was our day. It was filled with frequent freestyle rapping (clearly demonstrating my skills in pic 6), an insane performance from the Hilltop Hoods in their hometown, and a half hour mesmerization watching Tony Hawke do his thang. That guy, I tell you what, he is flexible.

A giant thank you to my best friend in the entire world, Soph (hot tanned pretty thing in the pink dress) for staying hyper all day long with me, as well as helping push to the front of the mosh pitt to see Kasabian. We just stood there the whole performance staring at Serge. He is so hilarious, sexy and cute at the same time. He shall make a fine husband.

And a SUPER giant thank you to the guys over at General Pants Co. for inviting me on board - we had such a blast, I want to do it all again X

I got a chance to take my new spaceboots for a spin, and also my new Dogeared necklace. I love it's simplicity, never taking this one off.

Must try and do more outfit posts - they are a little bit of fun. Nighty night kids, I'm off to have a couple of Skype dates with my loves back home! X

I hope all your all being spoiled rotton.

I'm doing a bit of spoiling today, just about to take myself on a date to the movies. It's probably going to be the most successful date I've had yet. Just me, a nice coooool carton of coconut water, and Rooney Mara. However IF I were to have a significant other, this is what I'd wear today. On some fabulous date...preferably to Paris. I figure there's no use doing patterns half assed, may as well layer print after print, to create some sort of beautiful chaos.

On another note, my internet has had a nervous breakdown, and is travelling along at snails pace. So bear with me re Fashion Week. It just took 20 minutes to load the Thakoon show. I shall try and make a few trips down to Maccas and soak up some of their free wifi.

I fiiiinally put together some collages of my favourite shows so far. I'm really loving all that textured leather at Alexander Wang, and of course Gisele's surprise finale. Prabal Gurung is just jaw-dropping as usual - those metallic white pants are my favourite. Probably my #1 trend love is the metallic skirt paired with a sweater - seen at Prabal & Tibi. So simple and effortless - but incredibly chic. I will never get over VPL draping, and those knit jumpsuits? I want them all. Every single one. I thought I was sick of colour blocking, but Lacoste & BCBG have erased that completely. I LOVE the sporty minis at Lacoste - I wish they'd put some leather caps on those girls! Would have topped it all off for me.

Phew. This is exhausting. I can't imagine how overwhelming/breathtaking it must be to actually be there. Right! Onto days 4 & 5.

That girl just cannot take a bad photo. She has the best attitude too. And as for Bell, well she's just a never-ending stream of creativity. Not only does she rock out some insane hair & makeup, she makes jewellery too. She handmade the Perspex hair cuff in look #1. Just started selling her work on Etsy, take a look here. Crazy Beautiful.

Also got to give my new camera a whirl. Not too shabby, not too shabby at all.

- went opp-shopping on my way to work, and had the opp-shops of ALL opp-shops.

The opp shop Gods were smiling down upon me, I'm telling you. Best loot all for $20.

- got to work 15 minutes late...boss didn't notice.

- just got home and two parcels were waiting for me at the bottom of the stairs.

- one was my ASOS delivery (HJVFPCXMB cannot wait to show you guys).

- the other was my new Canon 7D from Nanna, for my 21st...which is 6 months away,

but she's a Dear and is starting the spoiling early.

- Cricket with Dad tomorrow...where Australia will win.

- aaand last but not least, bought the yummiest pineapple for desert.

I've started taking my Maid of Honour duties a little more seriously, starting with the dress. My Sisters getting married in a years time, and she hasn't even begun the hunt. So, I've taken it upon myself to compile a bunch of inspiration images for her, so she knows exactly what she's looking for. I almost died when I came across these images above, from the 2008 Chanel Haute Couture S/S show. They're absolutely in no way useful to Haley (my Sister), as her taste is simple, and completely uncomplicated. But they are useful to me. To show you guys. Such beautiful, elegant and timeless designs - I think Coco Chanel would give Karl the thumbs up.

back from outer space, catching up on everything I've missed over the last 10 days. Byron was the best fun, I don't think I've laughed that hard before, ever. My body is bright red, and my bank account is empty - all signs of a good holiday. Anyway, before I left, remember how I told you about the magazine archives I spent hours filtering through? Well these are some of my favourite images I found. Cool huh? Plenty more where that came from. Hope you guys enjoy. Ahh it's good to be back, I missed this old thing x

check it ouuut - Ana B is all tropical-ghetto, if there's such a thing. What a Brazilian godess, I love all this 90's styling, so shameless.

Anyway, it's 6:15am and I've just woken up to finish packing, as Sophs picking me up in an hour to get on the road to Byron Bay. IM SO EXCITED I COULD SCREAM. So in our deluxe 5 star resort (campervan), we have no wifi, so this page may look a little loney for the next 10 days. I'll be back on the 4th of Jan, so until then, keep WOLFCUB company for me, have an amazing New Year, and I'll see you guys when I get back - love lots x

EVOKE

MODEL - SHANNA (PRIDE)

So now that my Whitehouse interview is over, I can finally share my assesment task with you guys. I don't think I've ever poured my heart & soul into a project like this before. Six months of planning & midnight eBay shopping right there.

Let me give you a little bit of a background, so you can understand the concept behind the EVOKE story. I was given five categories to choose from. One was 'Bohemian', which I instantly resinated with - however after some thinking over, I realized that would probably be the easy option, as it was so familiar to me.

I decided to just go all out, and shoot a 'gothic' style editorial, which I knew was going to be a commitment. After a trip to my Shaman the next day (very clever timing, thanks Mr Universe!) I was so inspired by her work, life, presence, just everything about her - I had this idea to create a gothic shoot, with absolutely no black. Why do witches always have to be dark? They dont. And so, The story of the White Witch, came to life inside my head.

I was so lucky to have such an amazing team on board - Mother, Daughter & Aunt dream team trio did such an insane job of hair & makeup. They created magic, and I have no idea how 3 people could be so talented. Belle dreamed up the idea of little pieces of al-foil around Shanna's eyes, and I will never look at al-foil the same way again. A family of geniuses - lovely, funny, generous geniuses.

And as for Shanna - I'm speechless. The girl brings a whole new meaning to the word stunning. She so effortlessly floated across the hill-side, and through the paddocks. And I know she just loved dancing on that grave...haha the poor thing, what a trooper.

So now to the business end, the interview. Heading into Surry Hills yesterday morning on the train, I was having a yarn with a lovely old man, and he said "remember Dear, you never get a second chance to make a first impression". Well. Clearly I should have listened a little harder. I was a little early for the interview, so decided to snack on an Apple before I went in. I wasn't banking on the interviewees to also be early - so the poor things were greeted by this girl, hair frazzled from running from the train station, a mouth full of apple, trying to make this brilliant first impression. Sorry old man on the train, I didn't exactly do you proud.

After a quick explanation, I followed this exceptionally well dressed human being, into the interview room. I was then interviewed by Paul Bui (ex Editor of Oyster Magazine), and the lovely lovely Rodney. I presented my portfolio, and the moment they both nodded their heads, I just breathed a sigh of relief. Yesss, they don't hate it. So the remainder of the interview went really well - they were so relaxed, friendly & complimentary. So at the end of the interview, Paul asked me if I had any questions, and I asked when I'd find out my results. Much to my surprise, he answered, "you'll most likely find out by the end of this interview". My heard dropped. Okay they either love it or they hate it. Moments later, Rodney (who had left the room a few minutes earlier), walked back in and handed me a large envelope. He then said, with a smile on his face, "we'd like to offer you a position at Whitehouse". You know that feeling you get JUST before you open your Christmas presents? That absolute euphoria you can feel in every cell of your body? Well it was like that...time a few billion. I GOT IN! Helloooo Sydney!

I still can't believe it, I must be the happiest girl in the world right now. And to make things even more blissful - right after the interview, Honey picked me up and we spent the entire day shopping, talking, wandering, talking, coktailing, talking & just basically lapping up every single second we had with each other. She is the World's best tour-guide. Who else could give you a tour of Crown St, Paddington, Coogee Beach & Bondi all in one day? You know those friends you spend a day with, and after you leave them, your just on this natural high? She's one of those friends. Such beautiful, light energy - and so intelligent it's just incredible. Honey you divine human being, thank you so much for what I will probably remember as the best day of my life! I wish I could copy and paste it over and over.

And to you guys, I apologise for this mammoth essay. Thanks to all of you who have been so supportive, it's just so lovely to see strangers giving light to another stranger.

love lots,
Brides

mid past editorial frenzy, and I just saved about 200 images from magazine archives, so brace yourself for a large dose.

About to jump on a plane to Sydney, straight into the arms of my beautiful friend Honey Debelle - remember that name, she's studying at NIDA & is going to be famous one day. Whitehouse interview tomorrow, so feeling a mix of nervousness/excitement/may just wee my pants.
Not taking my laptop, so will be out of action until Sunday.

Have a fabulous weekend!

I've had some good feedback referring to all these past editorials I've been posting - I'm so glad you guys love them as much as me. So here's another one for you. Monochrome styling - my favourite. I love this all so much, and her hair colour - ugh perfection, especially paired with her dark brows. Simple basics, styled to a tee. Ticks all the right boxes.

been scrapbooking to the max aaaall day long, making my 'gothic' mood board for the old portfolio. So close to finishing now I can taste it. Also I know you spotted it...the reason the t & h are so close together, is because these are going in plastic sleeves so will be separated by the binder. Just thought I should explain that little imperfection...haha

she has an identical body to Kate Moss, and her face is similar too. Just so beautiful, imagine being on the receiving end of that gaze.

Anyway, the one thing that annoys me most about tumblr, is that you find a picture, fall in love, and have no idea where or when it's from. That's where Kate comes in. Every single editorial photo she posts, has all the publishing details; title, year, model & publication. LOVE it. That's where I found the first pic & sourced the rest on google myself. Check out her tumblr HERE. Thanks Kate, you absolute rockstar x

If you have a spare 20 minutes, I strongly recommend you watch this clip, and see the iconic calendar come to life. As the models convey so well, the Pirelli Calendar is about celebrating the beauty of women in their most raw, natural state - nude. Not just any ordinary women - some of the most beautiful models & actresses in the world have graced it's pages. For me, nothing will ever beat Karl's 'Greek Mythology' take on last years calendar - transforming his model muses into Greek Gods & Goddesses. The year before that was Terry Richardson, personally I think he sexualized the shots, making them look almost cheap...but then again, thats his style. I think Mario did a beautiful job, and chose one of the most beautiful places in the world to shoot - Corsica. The girls all look elegant, feminine & peaceful. Natasha is by far my favourite. What do you guys think?

p.s. I wonder who will be December...probably Kate yeah?
