East Side Story

Love this - glam yet grunge. And it has only intensified my desire for black spotted pantyhose!!

Light My Fire

The time to hesitate is through, No time to wallow in the mire, Try now we can only lose, And our love become a funeral pyre

Stella Loves Bambi Too!!!

Ohmygod stop it. Stella loves Bambi too!!!!  These are some shots from her Fall 09 campaign - hitting the September mags. It seriously doesn't get much more awesome than this. I mentioned recently to all of you that I have a never ending love for deeriness, so you can understand I am totally tripping all over this!

Dan Martensen: Abbey Lee

I dont know why its taken me sooo long to  note Dan Martensen's amazing work, but suddenly it seems to be popping up everywhere I look. Abbey Lee is one of my favorite girls (and a fellow aussie) - so I understandably love these shots. Martensen is amazing at capturing the girls' natural style and beauty (like the Erin Wasson shots I posted previously).

Ps: How hot is that Alexander Wang full length lace body suit. Seriously.

PFW: Stella McCartney

STELLA MCCARTNEY

So I finally get to see Stella McCartney's collection - my macbook has been m.i.a for a few days (my gremlin of a kitten chewed through the charger cord - $150 later I'm up and running again). As usual, the collection is pure fab - girl can do no wrong. It opened with some of what I like to call Chubby Coats - they look insanely comfortable (I so wish for one to curl up in on the way to Uni in the winter). I particularly love the contrast between the coat and the leather in the first look.

McCartney can always be counted on to show some to-die-for blazers, and certainly didnt disappoint. Love the extra long lines. The grey is lovely and soft - looks stunning with white. And the brick/burgundy red one is surprisingly lovely (I've always associated red jackets with fox hunter, or Hugh Hefner.) I think the lines, cut and slightly washed out colour really elevate it to another level.
There were also som insane lace pieces - angular cutouts filled with soft, sheer-as-hell lace. So gorgeous - feminine, deicate, graphic, dark. I die for that last dress with the velvet bottom.
I'm never usually a bright blue girl (the colour really doesn't like me) but the collection had some really appealing pieces - that metallic blue biker jacket is insane. Wanted.
The detail shots really let the lace shine - love the lace panel of the hip/thigh of the dress on the left. And the how the looseness of the second shows the body lines.
The boots the went on for-ev-er are to die for. So hot and slick and would be so warm - I wonder how easy they are to get in to? Even better are the laser cut pairs.
