Long Street, Cape Town, South Africa


//I don't do pretty or girly very well (I don't own a single flower print), but I can appreciate when someone does. This is lovely.

//261/ Dress: Jagger Genes


J. Lindeberg Spring 2012 Book
Photography: Eric Guillemain
Styling: Katie Burnett
Location: The Stone Pony
Model: Lizzie Jagger


//Lovely Lizzie clearly inherited a fair portion of the Jagger Genes. This editorial kind of makes me want to declare suit pants (and blazers I suppose) a permanent staple in my wardrobe. I have considered it before (inspired by my cousin who only ever wear suit pants and skate shoes and perhaps to a certain extent by Luxirare ) and if I can find a source for decent, well-tailored suit pants they will most certainly be the only pants I wear this winter (anyone?).


//In other news here is an interesting article on how Condé Nast International is (finally) "seizing the digital opportunity" (delayed much....??)...

Charlotte Free for Complot

//I have mentioned before that I like to spray my hair pink when I'm feel boring (oh the advantages of being blond ;). Charlotte Free is one of the main reasons why...
Here she is for Complot (which I thiink she is the face for???) a spanish (??) clothing brand... check it out here.

//258/ Anais in Oyster

Publication: Oyster Magazine
Issue: #98
Styling: Stevie Dance

//I love this. The photography is sublime, the styling is super cool and I like to have my headphones with me all the time too (no matter what I am wearing), so it's kind of close to home I suppose.

//257/ Kenzo Fall RTW 2012

Kenzo Fall RTW 2012

//Humberto Leon and Carol Lim have been at the head of Kenzo for two years, and this year they definitely mixed it up a little. The collection was inspired by interior decor (? hence the interesting carpet-like materials): some looks were a little boring, others just didn't make sense and a handful of looks were simply perfect (see above). The designers emphasized tailoring and this is most certainly apparent in that dreamy suit (middle). Otherwise I loved the wide-legged pants, the booties, the slick Doc Marten-style shoes and the perfect little handbags.

//256/ Streetstyle 038: Kat

Kat, Longbeach Kommetjie, Cape Town South Africa

//This is my lovely friend Kat who has surfer girl style down to a T. Here she is just before she surfed the second Western Province Shortboarding Trials (she made the team). I love that neon-yellow hoody, those sunglasses. Kat does not wear any sneakers other than Adidas out of respect to her father who works for Adidas.

//255/ Dress: Vogue US // Kate going strong

Publication: Vogue US
Location: Ritz Paris
Photography: Tim Walker
Styling: Grace Coddington
Model: Kate Moss

//It feels as though Kate Moss should be long over the hill, but no she keeps on churning out editorials as magical as the one above. Just before the Ritz Paris closed for renovations it allowed this editorial to be shot...for me this captures the essence of a lavish, excessive, opulent Parisian lifestyle. The dresses are mostly (if not all?) couture.
