" I wanted to see girls under a different light - there were too many "pretty" trends last season". Alexander Wang
Pretty things have never really drawn me in. I am enticed by Wang's edgy but feminine, 1990's aesthetic and for me Balmain's rocker-chic dresses cannot be summed up in words... I am simply rendered speechless when I see an image of his collection.
" Women I know don't have patience for the limitations of red-carpet-type gowns- I want them to be as free in their evening clothes as they are in jeans and a T-shirt" Christophe Decarnin.
yes please. to both of these gentlemen.
For me to be able to sleep in my big white shirt and then wear it the next day... is something that I find oddly pleasurable. Throw on a pair of jean cut-offs... rockin' scarf...booties and I'm good to go.

  2. I'm so glad you liked my Collage/topic. I really enjoyed working on it. And I agree, the mystery of a mask is so intriguing. :) Fashion is fantasy all in itself.

    I really like the way you have worked in the scarf here. :) Ingenious, my dear! <3

  11. ohhhh those shorts are what i've been searching for! you pull this off so well. and the scarf is perfect!

    you've definately given me new inspiration! i agree with the odd appeal of being able to wear a tee to bed and out and about. something absolutely comforting and relaxing about it.

    p.s you love rubbing those beautiful booties in my face. i love them so much!

  23. THANKS beautiful readers for all of your sweet comments ! sorry i can't respond individually today- things have been hectic. BUT please know how wonderful you all are and how much i appreciate each and every word that you guys write. it means SO much to me...really.

    Those of you inquiring about the boots- i wish i could send each of you a pair. seriously. i actually found them at an outlet store ( zoom shoes) here in South Africa and they unfortunately are from seasons past and they don't have a website! they were uber cheap + such a random find. you might just have to book yourself a ticket to Cape Town, any takers ??? :)

    THANKS for all the Alexander Wang loving... you girls are too funny. (Maria your comment produced a good chuckle- so sweet!)

    have a beautiful day lovies.

  26. That's a great scarf and pair of shoes. I think being able to wear a tee and wear it the next day falls quite well with Alexander Wang's easy rocker chic vibe.

  37. I've always coveted a pair of Persol sunglasses. Are yours the model Steve McQueen used to wear?

  38. tomb boy with a mix of elegance!
    awsome.

    you really can "ware" some brave and edgy looks.

    you must be proud, for that is a virtue of a model.
