113 alexander wang debuts menswear (!!!!!!!!!!)

My absolute absolute favourite right now is Alexander Wang - can you tell? I find him incredibly amazing and intriguing - he is TWENTY SIX for starters, and happened to involve himself in the exact niche that was missing out of the American society  - casual, cool, and downtown, the perfect MOD (Model off duty) look. His bags are to die for and his shoes are killer, and I could talk all night about him, but I won't.

In the wake of Alexander Wang being named the Best New Menswear Designer by GQ and the CFDA, not to mention the opening of his first ever flagship store, the designer will launch his first ready to wear men's collection this fall. This launch has been highly anticipated ever since his first hint of casual menswear in his T collection three seasons ago. Expect to see Wang's signature style - "It started with a lot of utilitarian references, something that I've always felt a close attraction to. And the idea of mixing - I've always liked to take something very dressy and bring it down; take something very casual and elevate it". This translates to suit pants that are actually tracksuit bottoms in utility nylon or leather, outerwear as traditional overcoats tricked out with varsity-jacket leather sleeves. Sports jackets in wool felt, slubby sweatpants with baggy, knee-length leather shorts.


This is what dreams are made of!



112 hanging on to every heartbeat

Oh. my. god I just spent one and a half hour cleaning my fave boots which just got ridiculously mud covered in the weekend and in my apparent state I couldn't be bothered with them until tonight. Instant regrets, a bottle of leather conditioner (which has lasted me 3 years until now), some freakin hard out elbow grease and 40 (FORTTYY??) papertowels later we have new as new boots again soft as a baby's bum. These are my Maurie and Eve boots which have scored as many compliments as uncompliments. I love them.

And speaking of baby's bums how CUTE is Alexander Wang's baby niece. I am obsessed with this photo and I know all of you are too!!!! Move over Suri you would lose in a fashion fight to this sweety.

111 emily baker for mi piaci and my new shoes

Obsessed with my new shoes from Mi Piaci - Tessa observed they are pretty creepers and (after finding out what creepers were) I totally agree! They remind me of all things old school, and the pointy toe, fringing and chunky foam sole (especially the chunky foam sole) are a pretty magical mix for a good solid flat pair of shoes. In fact now I can very much channel my inner school girl thanks to these. Mi Piaci/Overland have always done brilliantly in nabbing top models - this is Emily Baker in Mi Piaci's latest winter campaign, after just 6 months of modelling and just before she jetted overseas to score 60 shows FTW this season including Alexander McQueen and Balenciaga. Side note - the following photos do not do her razor sharp cheekbones any justice.

Japanese magazine Popeye offers its latest editorial showcasing Thom Browne's Spring Summer 2011. At Tokyo's National Stadium, Junji Hata photographed the animated performance of a group of male models including our very own Aiden Andrews. Never one to shy away from uniform, the unusually clean stadium backdrop hints at America's glory days of high school, while the rest is left to Browne - signature red whites and blues, the patch pocketed blazers, saddle shoes and knee high socks - a lot of which can be seen followed through to his latest Fall 2011 collection. The result is a crisp and classy display of some suit-ed up boys having a good time.

mac 'dubonette' lipstick. i've become obsessed with this colour. it works with everything and for every occasion, just amazing. burgundy with a slight shine, not too little not too much. and of course dior grey nail polish. the most perfect colour as we head into autumn, and the tone is just spot on! was looking for ages for a muddy grey and this is the only shade that did it for me. everything else is too washed out, or silvery, or something like that.
