Romeo's boyfriend.

MINKPINK Stockholm Syndrome Shirt in Plum from Market HQ - f.rau Scrunch-dye Zipper Jeans - Tony Bianco Dodge Boots in Ash Suede - Penny Anne Lace Camisole - Cristiana Bracelets - La Dama Knit Rosary - RIMMEL London 60 Seconds Nail Polish in Chocolate Fountain (540)

The idea today, in retrospect, is an unkempt take on the whole boyfriend silhouette.

Despite the fact that these jeans are about three sizes too big for me, I still insist on wearing them. That's how much I love them. The smart thing to do would be to get them tailored... but I uni has killed a significant number of my logical brain cells. So until they come back, I will continue to wear them hiked up, belted up, whatevered up.

What I actually love most about this new favourite shirt of mine is that it, with the cuffs unbuttoned, takes on an interesting Romeo shape. On top of that, it's ever so slightly sheer - enough to see (obviously not in these photos... damned overcast) the staple Penny Anne lace cami that has become attached to me... and is ever-so-slightly peeking out the top there with my knit rosary.





Mmmm gotta love motion blur. Sadly, that's what happened when I refused to use flash as the sun went down. I mean what? There was no sun today. Autumn has well and truly landed :)

Victoria.

Those of you stalking my Twitter will know that I spent the most part of yesterday shooting the insanely beautiful Victoria, assisted by my dear friend Katie. I suppose we could call the day of camera(rrrr) a test - and a super fun one at that. My newfound preoccupation with entangled headgear, floaty fabrics and white eyelashes definitely helped the styling (plus my tendency to pin random pieces of jewellery all over people's heads without notice).

Victoria has this amazingly versatile face that somehow morphs between Emma Watson, Rosie Huntington, Jane Birkin and Angelina Jolie, while still managing to look like herself. It's crazy. I love it.

Note: clicky on the pictures to embiggen them








I have so many more shots I wanted to share, but I'm thinking I'd probably crash all your computers! So for now, they're safely saved away to bust out some time soon.

Victoria is definitely a fresh face and name to watch over the next little while and beyond. Shall keep you posted on this pretty lady!

A few styling references for you:

• Cristiana Knit rosary
• La Dama Shoulder Chain as Head Chain
• Model's own Printed Scarf as Turban

Lola vs Harper Tie-dye Knot Maxi - Cristiana Charm and Bead Bracelets - Self-made Headpiece worn as Bracelet - Tony Bianco Dodge Boots in Ash Suede

Is it ironic that I love maxis so much when the theory says they should swamp small frames like mine? I always feel so much taller and slightly more elegant (though I do end up jumping around like a nut anyway). What I love about this Lola Vs Harper one is the scrunched dying rather than plan tie-dye that's been floating around lately. It's so much more organic and fun to look at - not to mention slightly (awesomely) trippy when you look at the twisty-knottiness of the straps! Stack my favourite Cristiana bracelets (and the weird headpiece contraption I made on Monday wrapped around my arm) and you get hippie-rock-and-roll with an edge of pidgeon-toed, saucer-eyed innocence. So much love.






I keep forgetting that I've signed up to Lola Vs Harper's updates already :) Check it out HERE.

P.S. got a bit teary eyed for my last guest post for Rebecca Minkoff over at Minkette.com! Thanks so much to the Rebecca Minkoff Team for having me onboard! I so enjoyed blogging for them and hope you all enjoy my last outfit post for you! Check it out HERE.

Drums.

Yesterday I had the absolute pleasure of styling a shoot with Sydney photographer, Kent Johnson. My idea was to triablise my favourite pieces that you guys see me wearing from day to day - it's really interesting how wearing something backwards, or as a different garment altogether, can completely transform the mood - speaking of which, I had the time of my life constructing my odd little moodboard in the corner. I should do it for a living. Anyone? Working on make up with the super talented Maria Bravo was, then, an adventure in itself ("I've never drawn in someone's ear before!") and Zoe (Vivien's) did a stellar job - particularly in tolerating my bizarre demonstrations of tribal dance moves. It was also so fantastic having my gorgeous friend Katie on set with me!






I'll be getting the final shots very soon, so get excited!

Hope you enjoyed the little behind the scenes video and shots above! Sorry about the camera-shake - I couldn't bring my tripod, so I was running between doing things, filming moments along the way all day!

"On Halloween, the parents sent their kids out looking like me" ~ Rodney Dangerfield.

From left to right: Opening Ceremony Sheer Black Gown - Lydia Jewels Onyx Spider Rosary Necklace - Cristiana Rosario - INGLOT Flutter Eyelashes - Hurley Wilderness Drape Singlet (☏ 1300 139 719) - DL&CO Skull Candle - Christian Dior Kohl Liner - LK Jewellery Animal Ring - Tilkah Atonement Necklace - Mawi Skull Bracelet from FrockShop - American Apparel Black Nail Lacquer - None The Richer Coffin Knuckle Duster - Paul Smith Myriam Sunglasses - Meow Girl Day of the Dead Skull Necklace

I'm going to have to apologise in advance for the random inclusion of the most beautiful dress of my life - this won't be the first. I'll be force-fitting it with everything I say from this moment on because my obsession with it (formal formal formal) is way to huge to get past its Opening Ceremony glory :) so let's pretend it's got something to do with Halloween (and that the last couple of sentences actually make sense).

As is tradition with my relationship with Halloween, I'm in at the last minute to give you trick-or-treaters some inspiration as you rush out the door with pumpkin-shaped candy baskets. Is that what you do in the States? I have no idea. All we do in Australia is have ginormous dress up parties... like Mean Girls. Yep. Says it all :)

I think we do forget that Halloween is meant to be about supremely scary things, so I put together this college of gothic, brooding bits and bobs that will hopefully pique some interest over the Halloween weekend.

Happy Halloween!

P.S. If any of you have been following my CAPSLOCK tweets, you'll know that very exciting things are about to go down. Watch. This. Space.

P.P.S. The Addams Family is awesome.
