WE LOVE YOU TOO!

Lingere is an area where you can always make a personal style statement, no matter what the restrictions on your outer layers are. Loulou Loves You designs and makes the most delightfully flash knickers, as well as satiny bows, jackets and garters, all to be found on her pretty wee site.
“‘Loulou Loves You’ [...]

5 FANTASTIC SCARVES FOR WINTER

Scarves are awesome. They suit everyone, they’re affordable, come in a multitude of styles and ultimately are totally functional! Here’s my pick of the 5 most stylish neck warmers this winter:

1. Two Tone Scarf from Urban Outfitters - twice the noise! I love this look and it’s made of jersey which is super comfortable [...]

GRAM DESIGN

Check out these awesome sneakers by Gram - I want them! I can imagine the green colourway being paired perfectly with black skinny jeans, while the crimson kicks could be matched with a simple white summer frock. Gram is a Swedish brand designed by Alexis Holm and Anna Stenvi, founded in Stockholm circa 2005.
From their [...]

BLU GRAFFITI ANIMATION

Blu’s fantastic Muto stop motion graffiti seems like such a simple idea, but is absolutely amazing in execution. Roaming the streets of Buenos Ares, Blu spent a winter drawing and editing this marvel of motion, which is not only notable for it’s technique, but psychologically time twisting themes. He’s also created a few smaller pieces [...]

COME ON CALLERS JOIN THE PARTY

Yes, here you have it folks, a muxtape by Code For Something. We’re on the bandwagon (albiet a bit late) but it’s fun anyway. I’ve been indulging in a bit of musical reminiscence and the mix reflects this, with the exception of the lovely Santogold. Enjoy!

MILKFED

Milk Fed was founded in Japan, circa 1998 by the stylish and talented director Sofia Coppola and Stephanie Hayman. Reminiscent of Coppola’s Virgin Suicides characters, MilkFed is fun, quirky and eternally 17 years old.
The latest collection is a homage to California, as seen through the eyes of Japan - slightly twisted images that look ‘right’ [...]

FROM HUFFER TO INFINITY

New Zealand street brand Huffer’s latest collection (Winter 2008), Infinite Supersymmetry is a geometrical woolen wonderland. I really like the flexibility of their women’s pieces, perfect for layering your heart out. I actually purchased the Year Hood this weekend and am currently wearing it as a dress. Super comfy, grey marle cotton - it’s baggy [...]

RABBIT TRAPPING

As we are all aware, ombre (think of it as an intellectual fade or tie dye) is exceedingly popular right now. And who am I not to take advantage of this pleasing aesthetic… This scarf from Rabbit On The Run works the trend in a subtle way and is perfect for cold mornings! US$55 from [...]

1AM

1am, a fashion magazine, launched this week. Borne from the creative minds of Glenn and Amanda Hunt, it’s fashion in large format and tactile. This pair were the brains behind wishuwereherexxx magazine, which was luscious and brilliant (I dare say I still have a few issues hoarded somewhere), so I’m looking forward to this “monthly [...]

THE ARCHIVES: LEE HAZLEWOOD

I first heard the crooning of Lee Hazlewood while ensconced in the changing road of a K-Road boutique. However, at the time I was too wrapped up in trying on a complicated dress than to ask the shopkeeper who was currently riding the record player. Later that afternoon, a quick Google search for snow and [...]
