A lot of interesting things


Listening to: Aphrodisiac by Bow Wow Wow
Yesterday the craziest thing happened. My mum went to a place in Sydney where they make wigs for the Opera. she saw one that looked exactly like my shade of red hair so she asked them where they got it from and they said they got it from a girl wo lives in the same area as I do who shaved there hair in March and donated it to the Leukemia foundation. Which was exactly what I did!! So obviously my hair is going to be worn in an Opera! How cool is that?



I know every one raves on about Agyness Deyn (which I do to, but..) but I really like Iekeliene Stanges style. She has so much confidence and dresses in anything she wants. She always looks like she is one of those girls that you would have so much fun with!

Fleur Wood

Listening to: Non, je ne regrette rien
I am enraptured by Fleur Wood's latest collection, both spring- summer and autumn- winter. (She is Australian, and does a collection for the seasons here and the ones in the northern hemisphere). All her designs are so whimsical and fresh. They are always very romantic. She recently opened a store in Strand Arcade, in Pitt St mall in Sydney which was lingerie inspired. I am dying to go there. I saw a picture and she has a mural on one of the walls which is similar to frescos in Italy. Fleur Wood says that every item of her clothing is like a little piece of luxury.




I am also looking forward to the Gail Sorronda for Target.

Alexander McQueen - Spring 2008 Ready to wear tribute to Isabella Blow

I adore the new Alexander McQueen collection that is dedicated to Isabella Blow. See 'inspirational' people column on the side of my page. It definitely channelled her, especially with the hats and the outrageous designs. I love the grey dress with the red belt that had a mass of butterflies as a hat. If I ever decide to go to a prom/formal whatever people call it these days, I will definitely wear it, but it probably will be unavailable by then.
I also am reading a biography aboout George Sands. She was amazing. She dressed as a man in the 1830's.
