BLONDE ON BLACK

2010-05-18T03:06:00.000-07:00

Possibly one of the hottest men around and possibly one of the hottest woman around. Swoon. Swoon. She looks good in anything and he looks good on anything. I am not quite sure who I am more in love with in these photos. I am self-confessed True Blood addict and currently reading the 8th book whilst desperately waiting for season 3 to start so I can get my Eric fix. I am started to find the lines of the supernatural world a little fuzzy, and expect to see a viking vampire strolling (although I am not sure if vampires stroll, maybe glide would be a more appropriate term) around in London after dark.

I am ignoring the fact that I haven't posted anything on here in over a month.

I have the traveling blues, and trying to fill the time. I'm jobless and penniless and living off the memories.

I adore the simplicity of this outfit, the slightly loose fitting jean with the oh-so-white long sleeve t-shirt with its scoop neck and the way it hangs off the shoulder given a glimpse of the collarbone. How the sleeves are a couple of inches too long, so that they cover part of the hand giving that air of naivety. The chunky black strap of her watch and the way her single braid falls in her face. It reminds me that a simple white t-shirt with classic blue jeans can be the most stylish outfit of all.

It has been 2 weeks and 2 days since I got home to London. It's a strange feeling coming home after being away, I feel like in the five months I have been gone everything and nothing has changed. Australia seems like a lifetime ago, a distant memory of somebody else's tale. A dream that I'm trying to hold onto but it slips away as the day goes on. The last week I was in Australia after we had booked our flight home, I tried to remember everything, the way everything looked and smelt and sounded, the feel of the sun on my back. I went over and over all my memories trying to store it all in my brain. When I was there I made all these promises to myself, I had felt like I had changed. But I guess the more things change the more things stay the same.

old stripe top, h&m hat which is now wrecked cos I stuffed it in my suitcase too many times, Vintage rings

Tasty burito's washed down with some Corona in Kings Cross, Sydney. I swear I could eat mexican food everyday. I love home-made guacamole it's so much better than that jar shit and its so easy to make.
I seriously love this top but it has this wierd stain on it that you can only see in certain light, its coffee or something but it never stops me wearing it.

Some more of the amazingness of Melbourne. I go back in a couple of weeks and I can't wait, it really is a wicked city. Walking around is a colourful experience with all the alleys filled with some of the best street art in the world.

I'm wearing a madonna vest my sister bought me and a black sarong skirt thing- which doesn't work that well when it's windy and I always end up either flashing or having to go change.

It's hard living out of a suitcase, I am bored of all my clothing, everything is always screwed up-me and the iron are just not friends.

2010-02-02T13:37:00.000-08:00

So far 2010 has not been my best year at blogging, I have been in Australia since October and so far my 'blogging' (hate that word) has been sporadic at best. I have 2 blogs and I am sad to say that any internet time I have had dedicated to 'blogging' (seriously hate that word) has mostly been spent on my other blog COCONUT TRAVELS - and I am 2 months behind on that too. So please accept my sincere apologies and I hope that I can be a little more consistent with my posting on BLONDE ON BLACK .

I just got back from a magical trip to Fiji. It was absolutely beautiful, the sky was like a dream it had the most beautiful sunsets when the it would turn all kinds of shades of pink, and at sunrise it became a deep orange as the sun came up over the mountains. Each night there was countless stars in the midnight blue sky, and even on the rare occasion in the late afternoon when the usually bright blue sky became overcast it looked like it belonged to story about mythical creatures.

I am now in Sydney for the next 3 weeks so any Sydney-siders have any tips or must-do's please let me know, the Lonely Planet guide book is great but you can't beat inside advice.

Obviously the picture in this post are not from Fiji, the top and bottom photos are from London and the middle one is of the best hot chocolate I have ever tasted from Ganache in Melbourne. This is what I am craving right now, the sweetness tantalising my taste buds, the richness filling my mouth, the velvety texture satisfying my throat and the slightly sticky essence left behind on my lips tempting me for another sip. It's 9:30 am and all I can think of is HOT CHOCOLATE.

I never normally look to Will Smith films for fashion inspiration but hot damn the fashion in this film has been overlooked- Tea Leoni plays badass Julie and her wardrobe is SIICCCkkk. Best boots ever. kickass jewellery. striped dress. shortest skirts. and attitude too boot.

Hope you everyone had an awesome christmas, mine was spent in the sunshine-a first for me- lounging by the pool and eating seafood. bliss.

Still hanging out in Australia, kicking back at the beaches day or night and soaking up the summer sun. These photos were taken way over a month back when we were on the Gold Coast- i'm seriously behind with posting stuff. These days you can find me in the Whitsundays until January when we head to MELBOURNE. Seriously excited. Hit me up with any tips or places I should check out whilst I'm there.

Didn't have the internet for a while including over my birthday so couldn't skype my parents back home in London which really sucked, so instead had to stick to the conventional method of the telephone. However I am back on line now catching up with my emails, another year older.

These photos were taken a few weeks back in Broadbeach on the Gold Coast in Queensland, my Mum said to me the other day that in all the photos I'm always wearing black so here I am again Mum in all black true to form. It's a hard habit to break.

But today i am in the mood for colour so am gonna locate my inner wildfox and rock out.

For the last two and half weeks I have been in Australia neglecting this blog, instead I have been posting on my other blog COCONUT TRAVELS. But alas I have returned to my beloved blog and here is a snippet of my spring time sunshine. I am seriously gutted about this long black dress I am wearing here because it seems to have shrunk in the wash, I have since fallen out with the washing machine who's fault it is because obviously it is not mine.

Both my friend Katie and I are leaving London and going on our respective travels, she leaves tomorrow and I leave in 2 weeks. So Saturday night we went out to the bars we used to hang out in when we were 18.
We had half the dancefloor to ourselves and we danced danced danced to the old skool garage and songs fro different movies, when a song from Bugsy Malone came on Hayley and I danced our little socks off. It was a classic night and one for the history books.

This shirt belongs to my best friend Charlotte who has just set up what will be an awesome blog. She spent the summer in Ibiza and got back about 12 days ago and in18 days i head to Australia so trying to soak up as much time as i can with her. We met on the first day at uni (along with two other of my best friends Anna and Albertine) she had this amazing Mochino white sheer shirt with blue polka dots and a braid in her hair and we have been inseparable since, including living together for a short while which meant sharing a bed and me forcing her her to get up in the morning so we wouldn't be late for uni, she did my laundry and i made her breakfast it was a sweet deal. love you chick and i promise to return this short soon along with all the other shit I have borrowed!

I tried to give my nails a week free of nail polish. it sucked.

Managed to see the future classics show at London Fashion Week, love this stripey number. There was some awesome jersey pieces like these spats. I have had a look through some of the shows on style.com but I think overall NYFW impressed me more as a whole although there were some individual standouts at LFW. I'm watching the city and just noticed Olivia is wearing a dress that I own, which is kinda surprising as our style is pretty different

*****dont know why the pictures i had posted of future classics aren't showing....*********

so its not new but im rubbish at posting often

Unfortunately i am not in new york at fashion week like some other bloggers, but i hope to check out some of london fashion week. As always i adore Alexander Wang's new collection, seriously made me wanna go out and buy a khaki, grey and tan ensemble. I am now gonna try and locate that tan leather skirt my mums friend gave me and make it into a mini. I have been casually seasrching for an army style jacket for a while but i think i am going to try a little harder now, although im pretty sure it would be surplus to requirements whilst im in OZ. I also fell pretty hard for Erin Wassons x RVCA collection, so stoked that she actually had a catwalk show this time, her collection much like her own sense of style captures that casual rock aesthetic. VPL and Nicole Miller had some gorgeous pieces in their respective collections, both strong simple silhouettes. Charlotte Ronson did a killer collection with some mesh legging/shorts which im pretty certain will be copied. BCBG produced some desirebly jersey dresses with beautiful draping, mesh inserts and flashes of sequins. check out style.com for all the shows, knighttcat, le fashion and various other blogs are doing their own highlights.

pc from top Danielle Scutt SS08 collection (amazing collection i still want it all), Christopher Kane (available net-a-porter), Christopher Kane for Topshop, Me in Zara.

Have a thing for animal print, whether its the face of a gorilla, a tiger or indeed leopard print. I'm not sure when this obsession started but over the years it has never died. Was mega excited when i saw that Kane was doing another collection for Topshop..even more so when i saw this t dress a cheaper version of the infamous gorilla stuff. but whilst waiting looking for a starbucks the other day i stumbled into Zara and nearly keeled over when i saw this tiger face tee, it's digitally printed which i know first hand can be mega bucks (although i guess a huge chain like zara have their own machinery), when i looked at the tag and saw £16 i freaked! It now belongs to me, and I have to say Zara has been kicking ass recently, i got some snakeskin print pants in the sale (which i need to take in cos not quite skinny in the leg enough for me-no one likes a baggy knee) and seen some killer on trend pieces. In the words of cher in clueless 'I don't trust mirrors' so am always snapping away in changing rooms (dunno what i would do without a camera phone) I had planned to take some better photos to post but not been feeling well this week so haven't got round to it, and wanted to share my find with you guys before the tiger tee's all sell out. If your not familiar with Danielle Scutt you should seriously check out her shit, the SS08 collection is one of my all time favourites, each piece is wearable whilst still being unique. I bought a Tshirt dress about a year or so ago from her collaboration with Topshop which has a snake printed on it. ( I also bought a silk top with zebras all over it from Topshops collab with Emma Cook!!!)

i find that however bulging my closet may be i get always go back to the same basics, and have my safety outfits when i cant decide what to wear. I bought this shirt recently for £4 in a cancer research store and teamed it with my favourite black slip, and it's fast becoming a regular on the outfit rotations; i guess it doesn't help that my boyf lives about an hour and a half on the train from me so I am constantly living out a large bag, with half my clothes overtaking his room and half in mine.

clothes american apparel (since the first aa store opened in london years back i have been addicted to the comfy staples) rings gifts from the bf or market purchases, the silver with turq and red jasper in my left hand was the present my boyf bought me for our anniversary its from the mexican vintage. i adore it. the skull necklace was a gift from my friends boyfriend- he's a jewelerry designer find his stuff here the other is vintage.

yesterday's weather was freaking awesome. it was hottttttttttttttttttt, perfect summer dayspent with one of best friends in the whole world jessica drinking frappachino's in the park and then onto beer and chocolate int the evening. London doesn't always have that great weather, i'm such a sun baby so one day i plan to live near the beach in the sunshine. i always bought my friend loza a skirt for her birthday, its a little floral number that i really wanted to keep for myself!!!

dunno what the fuck is up with my slr camera its never used to be grainey like this, have no clue what i have done to it but if anyone has a clue please let me know its making me super sad.

this was from mine and my boyfriends trip down to the coast, it was beautiful and magical and i got bought the most amazing ring ever. At 5:30am every morning we got woken up by the dust carts, once by the fire alarm..but it was 11am so i guess we deserved to be woken up at that time! I kept glowing white in the photos so my bf took the flash off which consequently made the photos blurry but i kinda dig that.

zippora seven in NO magazine and euphrasie villalard in dirty glam magazine.

really love this editorial of zippora seven, it ,made me wear lilac lipstick. love the leopad print jumper and the criss cross jeans. so rad. oh and its photographed by karen of the kills.

so im back. gonna try and keep up with the posting now that uni is over. [thanks guys for the sweet messages on my last post]. got my show next week and then dont know whats gonna happen. its wierd after studying for such a loooong time knowing that now its over and i have to head of into real life, and im no stranger to hard work [believe me my university life was not like those depicted in films and tv where its all day drinking and sleeping in, no no a fashion degree=full time hard work, no days off, no drinking, no hanging out] but not being a student will be odd.

anyways i will try to post some pictures of my work aswel as some outfit posts.

man oh man

i finished my degree.

last night i went out drinking to celebrate. had a hard shake. i spent the day in bed today, watched poison ivy [drew barrymore film], read the june/july issue of i-D and thought about fashion. really need to sort out my closet and re-discover some hidden gems.

blac&white top?, tube dress (worn as skirt) american apparel, 10 denier tights superdrug, white trainer shoes kate kuba, ear cuff market stall, gold necklace portobello market, big knuckle ring present from bf.

these trainer- high- heeled- wedges were like 40 quid and i wore them loads the summer of 2007 when i bought them and kind of loved them ever since but they got mega filthy when i was at the jeremy scott show in paris (was worth it though!!!), [normally im not the kind of girl that cares when things get scuffed up cos i think it adds character but these rusted around the eyelets. gross. ]and i couldnt get them clean...eventually i painted over them with some white trainer paint...good as new ready to break out the closet again.

d i y ed these jeans, thought it would take like 20mins to sew the chains on the pockets but ended up taking like three hours, but worth it in the end. i used black chain, 2 different sizes and cut to the right length, hand stitched to either side of the pocket.
