Lula Girls


Harvey Nichols in London is currently home to the Lula pop up store, created to feel like you have walked into the pages of the magazine. With collaborations on dresses, shoes, lollypops and cupcakes, it's pretty much a Lula girls Dream.
I love this woman's outfit she wore to go see the pop up shop, from the brogues with socks, lavender skirt and side plait, to the boater hat. The fact that people can read the magazine and draw from it inspiration to apply to their day to day dressing just cements Lula's place as inspired whimsy in the form of a magazine

Trace the Lace

My mum was in London recently and brought me back this white lace dress from topshop, the detail is really amazing, I cant stop wearing it.

Bi See Cool

I've been really wanting a bike lately and this made me want one more, you'd think it would be more stressful with more bikes on the roads but it all seems to flow so perfectly
and at any rate rush hour on bikes still looks a hell of a lot healthier than with cars

Dean & Deluca Was Never the Same

Everyone has a comfort tv show that they watch to put their mind into peaceful auto pilot and forget about the current state their world resides in. Mine is Felicity, with it's late nineties New York goodness.
There are so many things about this show that I love, firstly Kerri Russell was the first lead character I had ever seen with curly hair on TV, I was immediately won over.
Secondly the basic premise was leaving your hometown behind for New York, (you see where I'm going with this?)
Thirdly Felicity's style was at times both incredibly rad and hilarious, So many sweaters, cardigans and basic t-shirts.
And Finally anyone who sends tapes instead of letters is instantly in my good books, and with that I leave you to go indulge in my secret love of all things a bit dodgy, lame and nineties.

Bursting Bubbles




I was so excited to hear that Susie from style bubble was coming to Sydney for Fashion week, although now with the ash from an Icelandic volcano threatening to keep her in new york, fingers crossed she makes it

Your Backs to the Wall and You Say its Nothing Special

So it's Easter and this year I'm not overdosing on chocolate so much as Patti Smith merchandise, her dvd Dream of Life, record of covers, and book Just Kids.
As well as dreaming of 1960's New York, I keep seeing photos of Alexa Chung everywhere. I've been following her career since I first saw her when I was about 14 in a dolly magazine or something, little did I know that she would become the saviour of intellectual fashion as we know it. A well placed cardigan here, a brogue there, *socks with high heels, undone hair and the occasional biker jacket.
Alexa is by far my favourite creative around today.

*When I was in Vienna a few years ago while all my friends were stocking up on party dresses and tops from H&M, I spotted a pack of the most spectacular coloured ankle socks, and promptly bought two. I knew that the electric colours would be amazing once paired with some stacked high heels or the lime green Marc Jacobs heels that I'd just spent my savings on.
When we got back to the hotel and were asked what we'd bought one of my friends answered, ending with "and Sarah bought socks..." Ha! I'm so glad that trend took off, two years later the same girl came up to me and enquired how did I know about it?
I shrugged and said it was just a feeling.

Lover

The Harvest. Film trailer. from LOVER® on Vimeo.

This short film is so beautiful, I love when designers use film to highlight an upcoming collection, it just multiplies the creative minds involved in the process of marketing a collection. This makes me want to move to the country and lay on a haystack strumming my guitar and reading, but only if I could attain the same wardrobe as Sophie

State of Mind



If I was in New York right now, I would go and have late lunch at Ruby's on Mulberry st. then wander down to the Charlotte Ronson shop for a look at the new season. I'd also make sure to check out Sophomore and Opening Ceremony.
Then to MOMA to see the Tim Burton exhibition, and lose my mind a little bit.
Then probably spend the rest of the afternoon just walking around Prince and Spring St. people watching and just generally revelling in the city
