One Birthday, One mexican Fiesta, One hundred chocolate cupcakes, One million and one work commitments and Zero internet. See I have many excuses for not updating! Kudo's me. But lets not dwell on my lack of time lets get right into my new favorite thing. Cut out Cut off's. Yes. Im sort of obsessed with them and have not taken them off since I made them a few days ago. Slightly pornographic if you ain't got the right undergarment on but these bad boys look seriously dope with both leggings or a flesh coloured bodysuit. Ugh. God I just love em and they take around five seconds to make so if you got any spare shorts laying around whip out your fabric scissors and get crafty. pelvis has never looked so chic.

Okay so I know I've given shoulder pads more air time than day time soaps in the 70's but here they are again...Only this time they're totally fucking workin' it. Thank god as I was growing tired of shoving things down my top and waiting for magic to happen- Something I did a lot of in my early teens. Anywho... the reason these ones are so dope is because like all good things in life, they are not supposed to be for me.  They are for men. They're a little bigger and a lot sharper and totally Tom Selleck. I moved them into my favorite dress that I found years ago and altered the hell out of. Move over, blue leopard print mini's with all the right angles are my new favorite thing

Op shops. What gives! The down lighting, the crammed racks, silky yardage print dresses falling off hangers, the weird smell and the fact that if you buy something you have to carry a plastic bag around with you for the rest of the day. (NOTE: plastic bags are not a good accessory on any occasion. Except maybe the supermarket) and then there’s ALWAYS "that girl" You know- the one with the poorly bleached crop and jeans so high waisted she may as well be nude. She's the best friend of the red haired girl who's wearing an oversized flannel and stockings skewered with holes. Oh and one of those hats, don’t forget the hat! Please, it makes the outfit. In any other situation I would not find these two girls irritating. But why are they ALWAYS standing right where you want to look? Honestly. For the most part it’s just too bloody hard. That is until, you find something amazing. Something you know you wouldn't find unless you made it yourself. Yesterday I found this unbelievable off white, washed silk shirt. Seven dollars later and I now take back every unsavory thing I've ever said about op shopping. Because It's fucking great. 

WHITER THAN WHITE, HOLIER THAN NOW

SINCEREST OF APOLOGIES FOR MY LACK OF POSTS, HOW TOTALLY UNCOUTH!

THESE ARE MY MICK JAGGER PANTS. 

MY WEEKEND WAS SPENT LISTENING TO THE ROLLING STONES AND MAKING PANTS. 

THEY’RE COOL AS SHIT AND COMFORTABLE AS HELL. 

M O V E R S A N D S H A K E R S

SO HERE IS WHAT IM WEARING TODAY. LEATHER AND GREY. BULLETS AND HIGH PONYS. 

THERES ALWAYS A WEEK DURING AUTUMN WHERE I REFUSE TO ACCEPT THAT THE MERCURY IS DROPPING. I AVOID MY KNITWEAR AS IF IT WAS A LYCRA CLAD EXCHANGE STUDENT HANDING OUT FLYERS IN THE CITY. I WALK ONLY WHERE THE SUN IS AND SHIVER FROM STREET TO STREET. ITS MY WAY OF RINGING IN THE NEW SEASON, AND CATCHING THE FLU.  

(NOTE: COULDN'T HELP HAVING AN ERIN WASSON HAIR FLICK MOMENT - THE PANTS MADE ME DO IT)

NOTHING COMES BETWEEN ME AND MY CALVIN'S.

SERIOUSLY. DO YOU GUYS REMEMBER THOSE ADS? SO GREAT. MY DARLNG FRIEND MAX GAVE ME THESE MILKY WHITE CALVIN'S AND AS DISPLAYED I RIPPED THE KNEES OUTTA THERE AND GAVE MY THIGHS SOME BREATHING ROOM. I THEN BECAME A TAD OVER ZEALOUS WITH THE OL' FABRIC SCISSORS AND CUT A HOLE 2 INCES FROM THE FLY? WHY DID I DO THAT? IT LOOKED LIKE SOME BIZARE GLORY HOLE. TERRIBLE. ANYWAY I'VE SINCE PATCHED THEM UP SO THERE SHAL BE NO INDECENT EXPOSURE COMING BETWEEN ME AND MY CALVIN'S...

I'm obsessed with my new Moschino hat- I do realise it's a little bit country and had hoped It's a little bit rock n' roll. So with my Hat, yet another pair of denim shorts (Which I apologise for, I swear to god I don't wear denim cut off's every day. All of my favorite clothes are currently in China) and shoulder pads in tow here is me being having a Billy Ray Cyrus moment.

So I’ve got Balmain fever, but lets face it who doesn’t. 

We all witnessed every single designer shamelessly rip it off at fashion week, Now even Sportsgirls ripping into it… Oh no whats next supre? ( I believe that once the trend is in there just drop it. Stop right then and there, Rip it off your body, throw it out, thow up and then move on, just stop. If they’ve got it – You shouldn’t) Anyway my point is I was in there and found shoulder pads. Of course I brought them, You should all do the same. Mass produced shoulder pads are in, yo! The packet promises me “all the right angles” For five dollars? Fuck it. I’m in. So here is the result….

So I’ve been thinking lately, how unbelievable it would be if we could all dress as if we were an editorial. I have so many dope/unwearable pieces in my wardrobe that I wish I could roll with from day to day but seem to always be overseen when it comes to getting dressed?

 

Personally I ALWAYS buy things I just know I’ll never wear (eg: A pair of jewelled red underwear, countless bustiers, enormous lace body pieces, denim shorts that sit more on the denim underwear side… you get my point)  but  still I collect them like toy cars and always prefer me to own them rather than a more suitable buyer.

 

So here it is, The result of  my new obsession with “EDITORIAL DRESSING”

I dare you all to try it, its bloody fantastic.

Okay so I promise this is not going to be a regular occurrence, but I have to ask… What the FUCK happened to music videos? When did they decide to stop acting in their videos? They used to be so rad! Two minute long self indulgent masterpieces have somehow become glorified porno’s. I swear to god we are one pair of jeweled panties or spandex tights away from literally watching artists make choreagraphed love with the hired help on film. Lady gaga put your god damn clothes on.

BON JOVI'S ALWAYS. 

If you have never seen this.PLEASE watch it. It is truly ridicules and absolutely brilliant

AND THESE JAI HO'S

HONESTLY LADIES. ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME?
