The Believers
I absolutely loved Karen Walker's collection The Believers that she showed in New York at the Spring shows. And now the southern hemisphere version of the collection (for our winter) is up on her website - its always interesting to see how the tweak it for down here.
I've started thinking about what pieces I'll save up for and layby.. Im thinking the pastel apricot leopard print, some of the white lace and blue floral maybe? Love the big grey coat and the boxy jacket too.
These are my fave looks for us wee souls in down here in NZ...
Mirage
Fashion Copious has these beautiful shots from the new German magazine Mirage - I love them! Wintery, dreamy and a bit desaturated.
And love the Karen Walker pieces in this first one...

Into The Wild
This is tres awesome! Fur AND hand-ears?? Amazing. It also reminds me a tad of these.
Ps: AND a bunny! Love.

Black Lip 2.0
More on the dark lip look. Im really tempted to try this. World Beauty stocks the YSL Gloss Pur Black (World used it in their Winter 09 show at ANZFW). Lancome also make Color Fever Gloss in Piha Black - a shout out to New Zealand from Lancome's new artistic director (and kiwi) Aaron de Mey? I think!

Black Lip
Wow - this is the first time I have seen a black lip really work in real life. I think the sharp black bob really helps (could a blonde pull this beauty look off?) and the fact that its paired with a simple, loose white tee

It's a very wearable interpretation of the insane makeup look from the Yves Saint Laurent Fall 09 collection.

Current/Love
Im obsessed with Current/Elliot at the best of times, and I just checked out their Resort 09 lookbook - its AMAZING. It has a gorgeous, romantic, scruffy nostalgia and a strong americana feel. I love love that its shot at a big peeling white weatherboard house. Perfection.
I especially love the first pieces in the first two shots...
Ps: Guess what....
... They do menswear now too!!!

Heavy Metal
Wow. Just wow. How sick are these Proenza Schouler bags?! Luxurious and tough and a bit gothic. Def getting a Jeanne d'Arc vibe - girlboy, armour, velvet etc. Begging to be paired with tight leather pants and heavy jewelry.

Luella On Paper: Coming Soon
More on the magazine front... Luella's magazine is coming out in the northern spring, and will apparently be a biannual. Wow! I can't wait to see it. As I generally (absolutely) love everything the amazing Luella Bartley does, I have high hopes for this.Source: Fashionista

Wanting: Velvet
So, I already have a burgundy velvet top (it had an outing last night even - perfect for breezy summer nights) and some amazing black velvet skintight jeans, but what a really really want is a velvet jacket! Have only found one ever, and did not like the mandarin collar it has. Mary-Kate and Erin look so cosy, and their jackets have a real eccentric luxury. I think I may attempt to make one?

This is the first shot I've seen from the Chloe Spring 09 campaign. Loving so far! Can't wait to see what they do with all the amazing scallop edged pieces.
Down to the River to Pray
I love the work of photographer Derek Henderson. Its so iconic of New Zealand and has a real beautiful, aged honesty about it. These are all from his exhibition I Go Down To The River To Pray - a "photographic exploration of the Waikato River"...
