The december girl

Ok, so tomorrow is new years eve, so now's the time to pick my last style girl of the year. The other day i was forced to watch my first ever episode of gossip girl, while completely bored with the plot and majority of characters, i found myself completely smitten with the peroxided waif that is Jenny Humphrey, aka Taylor Momsen. This 16 year old starlet is just delightful with her dark eyebrows and big red lips, i don't advocate her skinny stature, but that's a whole different debate. As far as I'm concerned she is a straight up style fox, and this little lady can only get better, right?

The man dies but the music lives on..........

The man dies but the music lives on. RIP Rowald.S.Howard 1959-2009.

Always wear your socks with you shoes, listen to your mothers!

Think 50's bobby socks with men's lace up shoes, just do it! Don't think about it, trust me, it looks good.

Luvlyroses@ St Kilda Gaff. Slip on men's dress shoes with white bobby socks, paired with cute summer dress. Fold socks over for cute look. Keep ankles slim at all times. No schrunching!

Miss Aggy, as always oozing style icon, if she can do it, so can you.

Age knows best.

So in an age where our media is plasted with 16 year old's as the ideal norm, how freek'n refreshing is it to be hit with this ad by j'adore, with the devastatingly Delicious, and 34 year old, Charlize Theron!

Perfect is not a word i would usually use when talking about beauty and style, but this damsel is just that. I'm not sure if i want to be her or be with her(and Stuart Townsend in a harmonious love triangle.)

Why vintage fur is ok, Come attack me PETA!!!!!

Bianca@ Elwood somewhere- Cute hair, sexy dress and awesome VINTAGE fur. If it's not worn it's just going to sit in a cupboard gathering dust, i don't advocate the making of new fur's, but in order to honour and respect the animals responsible for the fur, the clothing already made should be utilised. Agree? Disagree? Agnes Dean........

I found it in the toilet's........

Loulou@Workshop- in a cute vintage summer dress with frill and pockets. Mama's vintage boots top off a freek'n awesome outfit.

Note. The chanal(fake?)(vintage yes) quilted backpack on the ground under the hairdryer, amazing!!!!!!!!!!!

Similar to the one below......... If i didn't already own it, i would most definitly want it. NICE!

black and White

Things I may do this summer................

Take photos of the muses and the other ridiculously dressed creatures wandering the alleyways, drinking on the rooftops and sprawled across the grasses of melbourne town.

Watch all marilyn films and read arthur millers plays.

Pretend to be in a Jim Jarmusch film 70 percent of the time.

Dye my hair White and my eyebrows Black, so freek'n sexy.


Travel in style, or at least buy more vintage bags and or cars.

Screw summer clothes, keep the tights and boots going for as long as possible, you know you want to.

Coming to a street near you

Reminder for myself to get out and start capturing the amazingness of those ultra humans wandering the streets.........

I'm lost in the fringe of things.

I'm completely lost in fringed jackets at this moment. My holiday project is to attempt to turn my long brown hooded suede coat into a cropped fringed jacket. My experience of working with suede, nil, likelihood of success, high. If i can look even half as good as my new best friend above i will be a happy camper.

She aint half bad

Eliza Cummings. Leading for the ladies in the new wave of androgynous models. She will make you drop to your knees and weep.

When i grow up i want to be her.

Colleen Atwood. My new favourite costume designer. Worked on such wondrously visually enjoyable films as Edward scissorhands, little woman, sleepy hollow, Chicago, Lemony snickets, memoirs of a geisha and my favourite Sweeney Todd. I want this Lady's job now. The scene in Sweeney Todd when Depp and Carter are on the pier wearing the most spectacular outfits makes my heart do back flips, i just want to be on that pier and in that world, this is exactly what good costume should do to you. Colleen i take my peasants hat off to you.

The ultimate muse

Jethro Cave. Cant help but be inspired by the little bastard. Just a sliver of the real thing though, Mr Nick Cave.

the flavour of april

I'm loving Chloe Sevigny to bits right about now.

Actor, Designer, style icon and all round cool chick.

Not afraid to try out different genres, she bounces from hippie chick , to uber cool, to sleek starlet with minimal effort. Her amazingly original and self styled street look is what makes her better than than the clones we see prancing around LA. Long live sevigny.

There's a t.shirt down there

anon @ Roxannes

LouLou @ Grilled

The best kind of T.Shirt is the kind you used to wear when you were a wee thing, that you find hidden deep in that pile of clothes you can't bare to part with, and it still fits, your the T.Shirt that i want.

hack a slack

Anon @ Elsternwick shopping strip

This man had heard that it was "trendy"to cut the bottom of your pants of to make shorts, as he didn't own jeans he tried it out on his slacks, quite successfully too he thinks. What a revolutionist, not afraid to go that one step further, pushing the boundaries of life. Did i mention this man is about 70 years old, i dig it.

Back to Black

Anon @ Roxanne's

Effortlessly cool, almost something peter pan-ish about his get up.

The First Urban Cowboy

I was waiting for a tram on the corner of Elizabeth and Bourke St's, when i was treated to a vision of greatness. Across from my stop was quite possible the most ridiculously and brilliantly styled man i had ever viddied.
Cigar in his 70 plus mouth, silver brogues on the feet, grey slacks casually belted in tan around the well earned beer belly, salmon shirt with preppy checked pink tie knotted casually around his Harold bishop worthy jowls, tanned fringed suede jacket, glasses to hide the boozy eyes, and last but not least a cowboy hat placed high on thy holy head. After staring gobsmacked at this impossible god for what seemed like an blissful eternity, i had the sudden urge to share this moment with the world. Alas, a tram pulled up and my cowboy rode off into the sun before i could say cheese.
