White Noise

Spring is peeking around the corner(ok ok it's still officially over a month away but the sun was shining today and I could actually walk outside without freezing my lens cap off). 

After all that grey & black doom and gloom of Winter I'm ready for something light, aren't you?


Flannel's Spring/Summer 2010/11 collection brings us creamy colours, fringe details and neutral tones. Manes were left natural and faces were fresh, we're ready for a fuss free Spring!

Have you ever wondered what it's like behind the scenes before a major fashion show? See my view of Ksubi's behind the scenes action at their Spring/Summer 2010/11 show at Rosemount Australian Fashion Week

It's stuck in my head

I've had Big Jet Plane by Angus and Julia Stone in my head for the past week .. But that's okay, I love it, and the video is especially sweet. I love the candy & plastic colours.

Hair Expo Gala Highlights

I've been meaning to blog some more about the hair expo in Sydney last month. This is the first time I'd been to such an event. It really was a hair raising (hadehaha) experience. Basically it's an event where guys and gals from the hair industry (& make up industry peeps too) come together for one big sha bang of a weekend to promote their products. In the evenings massive gala events are held where teams of hair stylists represent their salon and create the biggest and bestest most out there hair creations (now I call them creations because they really are works of art). It's a prestige thing, the winner is the king or queen of the hair castle and gets to carry the hair expo trophy. Have a look at some of the creations & back stage prep. 

I'm sorry but this reminds me of Kin no unko

look into my eyes...

I had my haircut yesterday at Cuts Both Ways in Kew, thank you Maree you did a faaaaabulous job! Now not only did I get a fabulous haircut but I also got my peepers blingified with Eye Kandy-eye make up made to make your eyes shimmer and  *** sparkle *** . love it!

Claire Inc. opening night at Alice Euphemia

I tottered down to Alice Euphemia tonight for some vintage 80's & 90's glory & a glass of vino. Plenty of fashionable folk and some lovely shots were taken :) 

mmm I love a juj'd sleeve

and then I oohhed and ahhed over these origami necklaces from CT Designs (which I think is Claire Taylor,  correct me if I'm wrong) I think I have to save my pennies for one

Oh yes yum. Finished with tofu at the tofu shop on bridge road 

Fashion + Tofu ÷ photography = pleasure

nerd fact : while googling for the "÷" ( I couldn't find it on my keyboard)  I discovered that it is actually called an obelus and was first used as a division symbol in 1659. Amazing.
