The Future Is Now



I love this nail polish!


Here's Johnny


Got way too excited when I found this editorial on Ones2Watch. I love the hyper colour and the Johnny Rotten look of the model. The description says it was inspired by the Ska Punk scenes of the 90's, which is obviously right up my alley since I love both the 90's and Punk. One of my favourite editorials this year - BIG CALL!

Cool/Sexy

Here is a list of 5 guys who are exceedingly cool in my opinion. And rock sex appeal.

1. David Bowie. 
GaGa before there was Lady. Could possibly be the coolest guy on the planet? He managed to make lycra, eye patches and red hair look sexy as Ziggy Stardust. He deserves to be number one just for that. I love him!

2. Nick Cave
He is no great shakes in the looks department, especially now...worst handlebar moustache EVER! But he sure can pull off sexy cool when he is performing. If you don't believe me, Youtube the clip for Stagger Lee. You'll get it. Plus generally a super talented and forward thinking artist.

3. Prince
Perhaps an unexpected choice but c'mon, It' PRINCE! Any short dude who can pull off purple suits, turbans and all around femininity but still exude sex appeal (Gett Off is one of the filthiest songs ever) has got to be considered super cool. Plus he changed his name to a symbol which is pretty rad. Great music. Great style. Amazing perspective.....He recently declared the internet as a fad. Prince is great.

4. Daniel Johns*
Well okay these days Daniel Johns can tend to come across as a bit of a wanker, but I still love him. He will always be 1990's Daniel Johns in my eyes. Amazingly talented musically (if you forget the past few albums and Paul Mac crap) and a pretty stylish guy. Having seen him live on stage I can honestly say I've never witnessed anything so sexual! It came as a bit of a surprise, because he doesn't exactly have the Calvin Klein physique. But anyway...HOT! And he rocks vintage like no other.
*(Daniel Johns is a bit of an obsession. Get used to posts about him.)

5. Johnny Depp
You really can't create a list about cool guys without mentioning J. Depp. It's self explanatory. Sexiest man alive. Some of the greatest movies. Looks damn fine in a suit. Bangin'.

Why can't my hair look this good all winter-wind swept?

First Love


When I was a 'tween' the love of my life was Leo. I actually squealed when my dad brought home the VHS of Titanic (yep DVD's weren't invented yet kids). My bedroom wall was plastered with his beautiful face. Now thats a good looking tween heart throb. Fuck Justin Bieber.

(I still think he's a babe. For a middle aged dude.)

This Is Our Last Goodbye Dip-Dye

Okay, I swear this is my FINAL post on the dip-dye hair trend. My love and obsession needs to come to an end so I'll leave you with Abbey Lee and Peaches working it oh so well. Goodbye coloured hair dye. You've really made me happy.

Z-Boys/Z-Girls

Romeo Had Juliet


The ULTIMATE 90's couples. Can you imagine the beautiful children that could have come from Kate and Johnny?

Visit Your Local GP.

Absolutely adore the latest General Pants Co. lookbook. Besides the fact that I want every single item shown, I think the styling is amazing. Every outfit totally represents to perfection the 90's revival, which I am loving (obsessing over) right now.

If Only I Could Be As Cool As You

I have no idea who this pretty lady is but I've seen her floating around on a million blogs. These pictures were all found on Johnnys Bird. She is so fascinating and herion chic. I love her grungy style and attitude, and the fact that she's not classically beautiful but still mesmerizing. Major girl crush forming!

Nothing Rhymes With Orange



(Found these on my hard drive and thought they complimented each other....I am so sorry I have no idea where they came from to credit!)

Advanced Style

Forget about The Sartorialist and Garance Dore....Advanced Style is about a thousand times better! Featuring streetstyle snaps of some impeccably dressed elders, I find it SO inspiring. These people really know how to dress, and even better aren't restricted by conforming to trends and peer judgements. They are so much more daring with what they wear and aren't afraid of colour! I also enjoy that alot of the outfits blend original vingtage with chain store clothing. As well as being daring they also show how to dress simply with class, alot holding on to dress codes of past decades. God bless the elderly and the people at Advanced Style.

Into The Wild

"You're a mountain that I'd like to climb"



Years back my older sister was always banging on about some band called Incubus and I was like "Yeah whatever sis...stop friggen talking about them!!!". Then I actually listened to them and since then, I've been a loyal convert and go as far as to say they are my FAVOURITE BAND of ALL TIME. It helps that lead singer Brandon Boyd is a total babe/artist/surfer/amazing!! Yesterday he released his solo album The Wild Trapeze. And I would totally review it, but IT'S NOT RELEASED IN AUSTRALIA! Damn southern hemisphere.

And the pic above is a fave that I stalkerly taxed from his official Facebook page...it's not creepy if it's public right?

Mehico.







Recently took a trip to Mexico. And by that I mean went to Taco Bill and got mild food poisoning...pretty much an authentic Mexican experience. But I am now inspired to share this editorial "Muchachos" from No. Magazine. Everything about it is so perfect. The styling and locations are incredible and I want everything! Probably my favourite editorial I've seen recently, but I am a little biased because I like to think I'm a little Mexican on the inside! Mainly because of my love/love relationship with tequila.

Doctor Doctor...Give Me The Shoes

White Docs are still on my mind especially after seeing this photo from Johnnys Bird. It has also got me dealing with Mickey leotard envy. Damn it.

Obsession



My obsession with coloured hair has reached new dizzying heights because of these images. Kurt Cobain, Tallulah Morton in Oyster and the most amazing lime green hair from I Love Fake.

I Miss You Love


I love you 1990's Daniel Johns of the band Silverchair. Marriage?

Independance Day


It's Independance Day in America a.k.a. 4th of July and my sister is in New York to help celebrate. Needless to say I am extremely jealous and slightly hoping that the aliens will invade, with no Will Smith to save her. (I said only slightly hoping...)

M.I.A



Lost my favourite red lipstick in an inebriated state. If only I'd had a giant one like this that I could never lose. Now saving my pennies for a MAC or Chanel red lippy...this could take some time.

Coachella-ella-ella



Life goal - go to Coachella music festival. This festival outfit is absolute perfection. Carmen Hillestad at Coachella (via http://www.hanneli.com/?paged=3)

Speaking Of...




...Tim Burton inspired editorial, from a back issue of Harpers Bazaar.

"You wanna play scissors, paper, stone again?"


I went to the Tim Burton exhibition here in Melbourne yesterday and it blew me away! So incredible to be in the same room as all the props from some of my favourite movies including A Nightmare Before Christmas, Edwards Scissorhands, Ed Wood, Batman, Beetlejuice...the list goes on.
The Edward Scissorhands suit was definately a highlight, being so close to something JOHNNY DEPP THE SEXIEST MAN ALIVE!!!! has worn. But besides the props it was amazing to see Tim Burtons drawings and sketches, he really is an artist. I was also surprised to find out he directed the music video for The Killers song 'Bones' which I had always thought was clever.
Well worth going to see if you are in Melbourne, I wish I could have taken some photos but understandably it wasn't allowed. It's on at ACMI at Federation Square until October I think.

Selleck Waterfall Sandwich. Oh My!
