es trella

Estrella: a feminine Spanish noun meaning shooting star, movie star or to be born lucky. Not a bad start for a label. Then there is the bonus of dating-in my mind- Australia’s best shoe designer Tristan Blair. This kind of partnership means all shopping can be done without leaving the abode. I love that the [...]

we love you so

Spike Jonze is getting fanmail which does not really fit in his letterbox. In the form of graffiti, bento box art and one obsessed believer has even taken time to stitch together a quilt . “Where Where The Wild Things Are” is not just a kids movie, it’s like all your fanatsies, dreams and nightmares [...]

the new miss moss

Angled cheeks pointing from heaven to hell, the ability to scare with a stare then in shot two look as sweet as candy and with an air of mystery I think Abbey Lee is an amazing candidate for the job to one day replace Kate Moss. Edgy party kid when in i-D, ethereal angel in [...]

world first

The Australian Vogue cover we all wished for. Myf Shephard finally books her first Vogue cover and is so happy she swaps her usual prim pout for the biggest smile the fashion world has ever seen. Hands on hips, Myf patriotically poses in Romance Was Born. To make the cover she ditches the doily eyebrows yet shows [...]

blog o week

Give me a spacey, star bright background any day. Faculty of Imagination is brand new to me, and the wallpaper background sky rockets me to the future and reminds me of the past- my roof and a an old boyfriend’s were covered in glow in the dark starlight zone stickers. Just like floating in space. Tao [...]

sell your gold teeth

Whilst waiting for a friend to join me for lunch, for the first time ever I picked up the Business section of a paper.  I saw the gleam of gold teeth and diamonds as Lil John showed of his sparkling crown jewels. It seems the hip hop industry has also been smacked in the face [...]

tokyo dandy

Another new blog I have to check daily, and another capital city I would love to live in- Tokyo…. Dandy. Although there is a “Translate This Page” function, due to my grasp of only one language, I felt a little lost. What started out as browsing through party pics and viewing an up to the [...]

left

I have a new favorite shop in Melbourne. Left. It’s in Gertrude street and not only is it filled with cult Japanese designers Comme Des Garcons and Yohji Yamamoto but also has Gareth Pugh on the way. Quite a coup for a small shop in a country so far from Pugh and his Paris office, [...]

japan RUSSH

After a year of boardroom negotiations Russh finally launched in Japan with Model of that Moment Agyness in 2OO7. I bought the Issue with Iekeliene on the cover back in August when I was in Japan, although I could not read it- Iek had put on the fashion editors heels and styled pages, the cover [...]

TMOD

The calm ring, the whispers necklace and cuprocking number 3 are just a couple of names you may read, or your fingers may scroll over in the “Poetry In Braille” collection by TMOD on The Grand Social one stop shop site. TMOD was all about Smoke and Mirrors for their last collection, but for the [...]
