Swedes: The Boys

How do Swedish boys get it so so right? And they never look like they are trying too hard. I can't say I've seen a trench look that good (and a but grungy) in a long time. Also, am seriously contemplating busting out the plaid shirt tied around hips sometime. Actually don't think I've done that since I was ten.

19/05/09: Streetstyle - The Males

I think I have menswear on the brain at the mo, god knows why. These looks are great though. I love a denim collar or cuff peeking out - it adds a real earthy, grunginess to an otherwise slick leather jacket and soft curly hair. I think guys pull of black and white looks better than girls - when I try it I always feel like I'm uber "matchymatchy".

To be honest, I really doing get the hype over Manolo's and Choo's - If I could spend that much on shoes, I'd rather get something insane. Im pretty much obsessed with anything Nicholas Kirkwood does - so LOVE the pair in the bottom right shot. Also loving the idea of spurs over heeled ankle boots - wonder if they came with that pair? Or were a DIY add on. A cream shearling is def on my  To list.

Im still coveting that cropped leopard print Adidas tee - have been searching for the perfect vintage-logo one for ages. Also on the Search List is a soft, faded denim shirt - proving nearly impossible (its my Golden Fleece)

25/04/09: Street Style and Bloggers

Im loving seeing all the fashion coming out of the Northern Hemisphere as they transition into spring and summer - I'm always jealous of whatever season they are having, probably because the bloggers, streetstyle photogs and fashion mags make it look so appealing. When we were in the heat of summer I was lusting after army jackets, fur gillets and thigh high boots. So I pretty much torture myself year round. Clever.

Coachella 09

I so want to go to Coachella one day.... Hot sunny music festival? Heaven. As are the clothes. I think my fave is the washed out stars and stripes dress on Aggy...

...And that crazy hot black lace dress.

I love that black furry hooded jacket - so so cosy. Wish mine had a hood! May have to search for a furry friend for mine. Also coveting the bi-tone tights a la Chanel Fall 08. One of the girls at uni got a sweet pair of bi-tone leggings from the tres cute Oui Boutique in St Kevins Arcade.

Garance Dore

Refinery 29 have a lovely interview with the amazing Garance Dore.

Every Silver Linings Got A Touch Of Grey

Love a gorgeous grey fur - some of these are super sleek and some more shaggy. Looks perfect paired with plimsolls or a 2.55, unfortunately only one of which is in my wardrobe.

XY

Some of the males in my life have been nagging my to do more menswear - which I really should, as one of my goals when getting dressed in the morning is "do I look like a really wierd-but-coolly dressed boy?". So all the fellas here are sartorial inspiration for both myself and males in general. Love the guy on the left with the denim vest and grey/brown pants (do I really need another pair of jeans? Maybe...). Have been coveting a sheepskin lined jacket for ages, and a kimono jacket even longer!

You can never go wrong with an oversized pale blue shirt (this looks has been ingrained in me, the father has been wearing this my whole life). Love the matelot stripes + Chanel 2.55 + Louis Vuitton Spicies. And those girls make me contemplate a thick fringe.. They look tres cute! Sadly I look horrific with a fringe! Shall just admire I think.

Extra Spicy

Loves these... Louis Vuitton "Spicy" from their crazygood Spring 09 collection. Apparently the shoe of Paris Fashion Week (bye bye YSL tributes - I am sooo over these, esp as everyone is ripping them off now). These are stunners. And would be a never ending source of amusement so much to play with! Would never get bored! The leopard pair are my faves.

Love the big hat! Pity that I suit hardly any styles! The layering with the fur is fab (and leather pants are always pure gold). And I love how those guys are dressed. Especially the insane asymmetric jacket/scarf combo on the right.

This is insane. Im loving shredded/laddered things right now - and this red jumper is perfect. And the holey top skirt? Dragged through a bush and looking so good.

Alexa Hearts Karen

Alexa looks fab as always (double breasted blazer dress anyone? Keen) and she loves Karen!!!

The glasses look like Karen Walker's Xtra Ray Vision sunglasses. The girl has taste for sure. And always makes me tempted to get a messy bob (also a la Kim Norda and Anna Selezneva - even though I've been growing my hair for what feels like for-eh-va!

Way Too Cute

Oh this is too cute.. According to Fashionologie, two of the best streetstyle photographers out there (Scott "The Sartorialist" Schuman and Garance Dore) are now a couple!

New and old: Brand new Isabel Marant boots and Poly sporting a Fall 04 Balenciaga coat (probably one of the best coats ever. And how cute is Sasha. Seriously.

Source: Jak & Jil

More great coats - particularly love the layer on the girl second from the left (union jacket shirt tied around the waist? Amazing) and the girl on the far right - it's undoubtably freezing but she's toughing it to show kneecaps and a bit of midriff.
