Just a little bit of denim on denim with Arabella Ramsey.

Well, it's done. Something I never thought I would wear. But I am, and I like it :) Arabella Ramsey has managed to succeed in winning me over with an outfit featuring two pieces of denim with her label RYDER. The jacket, with the cute 'embroidery looking' patches on the chest and frayed denim skirt featuring half material on the front and plain denim on the back. Firstly I believe this works because of the mix up of materials, secondly because of the wash of denim. The faded baby-mid blue denim is a winner. I am obsessed with this wash. The blue is so mesmerising and rich. Then lastly I have to say, the cuts. The jacket and skirt fit beautifully, which I guess is the selling point for me on most pieces of clothing. If I love the look and they fit well, then BOOM, sold. Also, these are the kind of pieces that are timeless and I know I'll be able to wear season after season. In my mind anyway. They are fun, bright and individual. A simple idea, but with a point of difference- something I'm always on the look out for. Anyway- hope you like the photos by the talented Liz from Street Smith xx (Also wearing grey marle top by Enza Costa available at Husk, my mums vintage  black leather handbag- which I am totally in love with. Sa sa cool!!! Then wearing my specially made studded boots from my sister, which she had made for me while she living in Bali. She gave these to me a few years ago and they are still in great condition.. Even after festivals, long days and lots of days- the quality is next to perfect.) And there you have it…. Hope you like the outfit, cause I am digging it! Who cares if it's denim on denim!?? Not me! xx

Helmut Lang SS13. WOW!

So Nicole and Michael Colovos, the talented duo also known as Helmut Lang have adopted the forecasted colour of the season, tangerine, into their latest collection to hit NYFW. I know this is old news to some, but I am loving the latest collection! I had heard that they had strayed from their signature look and I wasn't sure if it was going to be a good thing or a bad thing. In my mind, its a great thing!! I am lovinggggggg it and I can still see the traditional asymmetric cuts in this collection as well as the familiar unstructured jacket. The knee length pieces, use of sheer fabrics, mixture of relaxed fits with a retro futuristic sporty luxe (ha!) vibe, along with the seductive and sexy psychedelic, oriental prints and fits make this collection a stand out for me. The designers worked with tattoo artist Thomas Hooper to create mesmerising prints in shades of blues, oranges and reds. I have seen at least 5 pieces that I must have. Oh dear!!
I've included both backstage and runway shots. There's just something about backstage photos that I find more captivating then the runway ones. If I ever had the chance, I think I would prefer to be behind the scenes photographing it all happening rather then front row. Being amongst all the chaos, the models, the designer etc would be so much more up my alley!! Can you imagine!?? If only..

Instagram August update 2.

Here are just a few more from ma insty account! They are just a lil bit smaller then the others so I thought it might look a bit neater separating them! There's just something about each of these photos I love enough to right click and save. The styling, the colours, the clothes, the photo, the model, the hair..  Sometimes it can be something completely different that I don't have any words to explain why. Anyway enjoy!! xxx
