THE perfect bag

The Row.
The brand definitely makes classic, beautiful clothing, and since mid 2011, classic, beautiful (and seriously over priced) handbags.

This black alligator backpack is my definition of perfection.
I haven't seen a cheaper alternative like it anywhere, because lets be honest, I defos can't afford $34,000!!

 look at it just sitting there.. .mmmmm


A Haunting

COME WHAT MAY
Photographer Michaela Knizova


" I am student of New Media in Kosice, Slovakia. I am working with photography, performance and video art. I am inspired by fairy tales, legends about saints or Gothic movies. Reality is not used in my art, I mystify real life sometimes, and I change it into romanticism and fiction.

I am not sure if I have a haunted story with happy or funny end. I used to be a sleepwalker and I do strange things. Once, I found the red thread unravelled all over my room. And sometimes I’m standing over the bed of a sleeping boy or girl and watching him/her sleep. People sleeping near me may have strange dreams. "

This photoshoot is so haunting. The photography is so beautiful. The colours are amazing, the faded blurry lighting and effects of the photoshoot reflect her blurred memory of when she's sleeping. All this really sets the dream like scene; is this a fairy tale, or a nightmare?

you want some candy girl??






One of my favourite photographers of a good few years now; viktor vautier. Just love the colours of this shoot, both the clothing and the background compliment each other so well. I'm not much of a colour person but the candy floss shades are so sweet

TOURIST?

Imagine a beach; beautiful tanned people, sun rays gleaming to the fullest, cocktails flowing.. a lost tourist rocking sunglasses on a string, maybe a bucket hat, and the classic Hawaiian shirt? YES these are the most obvious associations the Hawaiian shirt faces, but there's something about that Honolulu landscape pattern that I find so HOT. Yeah, yeah whatever we're mid way through the frosty Winter season, but I can DEFINITELY day dream about a far, far away hot destination.. and wearing a Hawaiian shirt. I don't know why but I just being reminded of this pattern. I'm so pleased that new (and very talented) CSM graduate designer Maarten Van Der Horst has the same vision as I do. Take a look at this hot hot SS12 collection based on non other than the Hawaiian shirt. Oh how I love it.
