//70/ Streetstyle 007


Laura from Dear Dorothy


//I took this photograph of the lovely Laura a while back at the You & Me & Everyone we know market. I adore her corkskrew curls and her exuberant nature.

//She also runs the beautiful blog Dear Dorothy and sells super cool bowties at the market (you can look at some here). Everything about her is exactly what I imagine Lily from The Devil wears Prada to be like (you will only know her from the book, she was omitted in the movie).

//That's all

//69/ Film: The Tourist






//In what world is a film loaded with sex-appeal that is presented in the form of Angelina Jolie and Johnny Depp not a total hit? Ours apparently. The Tourist was quite simply dull and predictable and bore far too much a likeness with Salt for Angelina to have made a wise decision accepting the role: does she really want to be remembered as the face and body that made less-than-average action movies worth watching?

//But okay if you are interested in seeing Angelina pouting and strutting all over the show and Depp doing the usual Jack Sparrow thing (somehow I always detect residual Sparrow-mannerisms) then maybe you will enjoy this. Also, Depp is playing an American and Jolie is English (cool!). Aaaaand lastly of course there are some lovely dresses that look all the better on Angelina's super-skinny (near-emaciated) body...actually come to think about it, the wardrobe kind of makes the movie worth watching, so go, watch it...

//68/ Dress: The Chloé-Céline Movement





Publication: Vogue Australia
Issue: January 2011
Photography: Adrian Mesko
Styling: Meg Gray
Model: Alys Hale



//As much as I love the work Phoebe Philo has done for Céline and the sleek, mature, clean-cut direction that many fashion-houses have taken, I feel that it is getting slightly tedious. A stark contrast inevitably awaits us. I suspect it will come as shocking colours, mismatched pattern and a general movement away from what has become almost dull and predictable.

//Having said that, I do not necessarily support a change. I appreciate that fashion has become relatively subtle and understated and in this editorial, particularly, the strength of simple and clean becomes very apparent. The clothing-mostly Chloé, Louis Vuitton and Prada-is fantastic, though I don't find the model all that beautiful...
