A Fraggle fashion moment…

Written by Rikki. Posted on March 18, 2010. Filed under Awesomeness, Fashion. Tagged . 1 Comment.

Well it’s yet another fashion post from me, like Alex I am without a camera and can’t document anything interesting in my own life at present, which includes the MAJOR haul I had yesterday at The Smith Family op shop and the fact that I am currently house sitting a MASSIVE manor with it’s own jetty over looking a lake for a month… how posh am I? But yeah no camera to document anything so it doesn’t make for very interesting posting, hopefully I will remedy this real soon.

Anyway back to the subject of this post, a one Louise Gray, a London fashion designer, who is to quote a term that seems to flying around heaps in the fashion-blog world, KILLING IT! Hahaha I love teen talk.

So her latest collection is awesome, I love the baggy silhouettes (it looks so comfy and excellent for fat days) and the whole mix, match and clash vibe of the whole thing, and of course the colourfulness of it (I’m never going to be one of those girls that wears well tailored monochromatic outfits I’m afraid) oh and the use of (Faux?) fur… It’s all too cute… along with the almost androgynous styling. Anyway check it out.

The above reminds me of the time around 4 years ago I started colouring my eyebrows in pink for the occasional night out… you know cause I’m so avant-gard and shit hahahaha.

Now to the clothes…

Cassette Playa x Stussy shot by Estevan Oriol

Written by Community College. Posted on March 11, 2010. Filed under Awesomeness, Fashion. 2 Comments.

Not usually a big poster of streetwear shiz on here (I overdose on it at work so it’s all about puppies and toucans here my friends) but this collection is SICK! It’s been out for a minute now but just saw a few more pics pop up on Estevan’s blog which are sick. Fuck I love that dudes’ work. His aesthetic is so so solid. He’s been doing it for a while now but his shots always look so fresh and pop off the page. I think I like his colour stuff even better than his black and white even. Both are awesome. We got the LA Woman book at work and it’s soooo good. Latina women are fucking amazing. I guess we forget because there are none in Australia!

The range by Cassette Playa x Stussy (international, Stussy Australia is a fucking joke, thanks for ruining yet another awesome brand Pac-Brands, Freshjive anyone?) is awesome!! There’s a lot of collabs out there, most of which are shit or superfluous but this one is perfect! Both aesthetics sit together really well. I would wear any of this stuff. Especially that acid wash jacket *swoon*….

AMAZZZZINNNNG! Heaps more pics after the jump, I WANT EVERYTHING!!! Especially the body-con dress Read More »

 

Sweet-Ass Dresses

Ok so I will admit that the people behind Repeat After Me, are friends of mine however I’m sure you’ll want to check them out regardless.

Repeat After Me is a blog/online store selling awesome vintage and retro finds, they have some really excellent dresses for sale and after seeing them first hand I can testify that they’re not only awesome designs but also in really great condition. I’ve already bought 3, hahaha, so much for saving! (If my camera wasn’t busted then maybe I would do a photo shoot)

So if you’re in the mood for a hot frock go check them out, they have heaps of new stuff ready to go and will be updating their store often PLUS they sell at really reasonable rates wih most things around the $30 mark and a lot of stuff being listed as buy-it-now for people who hate bidding wars. Definitely one to bookmark.

How cute is this romper!

Gerlan Jeans

Written by Rikki. Posted on March 4, 2010. Filed under Fashion. 2 Comments.

Another day another bunch of excellent shit I wish I could own… hahaha, consumerist much? Anyway I’m sure everyone has seen the Beyonce clip for Video Phone by now (How shit does Gaga look next to B meanwhile, why would anyone on Gods green earth ever agree to be shot dancing next to her, Gags seriously looks like a pasty little weed..) Anyhoo when I first saw the clip I totally freaked over the  Betty Paige fringe, sequined Alien T-Shirt outfit… Um, I mean just when you thought B couldn’t get hotter…

HOLY SHITBALLS right?

Anyway I loved the Tee so much  that I got on the net and decided to search it out and discovered that it was by a label called Gerlan Jeans… Turns out they have heaps of rad shit, really graphic and fun…  The designer previously worked designing graphics for Jeremy Scott, so no wonder I love it all so much…

Lets have another look at that Alien Tee first huh!

Confirmed amazingness!

Moving on and the rest of the collection is sick too…

Keith Harring + Patricia Fields = GIMME, GIMME!

Written by Rikki. Posted on March 2, 2010. Filed under Fashion, Want, Yes!. 1 Comment.

Um can someone PLEASE go and buy me all of the amazing collab between Keith Harring and House of Field, like NOW! I love Keith Harrings graphic illustrations so much but when combined with the excellently slutty/80’s styling of Miss Fields it’s almost too much for me to take…

Observe…

Sequined (!!!!) over sized Tee, CHECK!

Cute-as-candy clutches? CHECK!

Sex Pot!

Um how hot is Miss Osbourne looking these days? Girl looks goooood!

I love how she has lost some weight but not to the point where she has lost her shapeliness, Kels still has awesome legs and booty, she just now also has a waist line… Also loving the bottle blonde!

Um and how good is this Betsey Johnson + Kelly Osbourne vid… God I love Betsey… she’s too darn cool!

 

Pretty Betty

Written by Rikki. Posted on February 23, 2010. Filed under Fashion, My two cents. 3 Comments.

So I’m adding yet another lady to my fashion inspiration mood board (I don’t really have one of those but if I did…) UGLY BETTY!!!!

I’ve never really watched that show but when I did the other day I realised how much I loved the way that the supposedly unfashionable character of Ugly Betty dresses… OK so I’ve read that they got super stylist Patricia Fields on board, so it’s not THAT surprising she looks so good but I am such a fan of the clashing colours and prints, the sock and shoe combos and the crazy tights…

About two weeks ago the Hellz Bellz x Vans NYC launch party went down. Looked like quite the banger, I sent my friend Rhiannon who’s currently residing in NYC (yup jealous) to take a few snaps for the ACCLAIM blog and then when I was looking on lastnightsparty at pics of the event who’s purdy mug do I see on there (amongst about a trillion shots of coked up bitches flashing their tits CONSTANTLY) but hers! She like totes hipster royalty now or something haha. Love you girrrrrl! Hopefully I can come visit you in NYC later this year if I can get my finances straight. Errgh. Don’t even talk to me about it.
