oh make me over, i'm all i wanna be

new hair, new outlook. letting go of things that are bad for me and embracing the ones that evolve me and make me happy. got my hair dids by my favorite hairdresser Kaori of Hair Kuwayama

gimme gimme


it's been a while since i craved something alexander wang. the diego bucket bag is my latest feverish crush in mesh leather! hoping a fairy brings me one soon. grab one from opening ceremony, before they run out!

i'm your biggest fan i'll follow you until you love me






make of them what you will. but i'm so for this duo. sean lennon and charlotte kemp have been surfacing together the last couple of years, making photogs everywhere giddy with excitement over the couple's great chemistry with each other and the lens. check out these interesting little films they did .

modern love gets me to the church on time







wow, it's been a while. was reminded of the greatness that is orla kiely this morning through my friend jess' (one of many) blogs, ladylike. i want every single piece. don't you love it when you find something and it has your name all over it. kinda insanely in love with the SS10 collection

she's got betty davis eyes







way before lady gaga was shocking everyone with her pantless antics, funk, rock and soul singer betty davis was the most fiercest lady around. married to miles davis while being rumored to have an affair with jimi hendrix, which then legend has it, inspired Bitches Brew

wait, they don't love you like i love you






one of the most exciting debuts of fashion week 2010 was presented tonight: alexa chung for Madewell! i want everything...sigh. i love how all the pieces are like polished versions of stuff i already own and currently obsessed with-anything starting with the letter P: pleats, polka dots, peter pan collars, private school girl cardigans
AND private school girl tights and socks.
which makes it extra easy to be inspired by the same sensibility as chung who is such a fashion darling everything she does is a do. however, i am heart broken singer.com called me today to let me know my order of the jeffrey campell clogs has been cancelled due to no stock available. i even missed out on the pre order. but alas, the heart ache was all for a good reason as i can now be on the hunt for the clogs featured in alexa's spread above. i actually had my little valentines dress on with grey tights and just changed into the sheer black ones for my pics at the post below and i also bought a men's inspired belt yesterday at uniqlo as the hubs said the dress was missing something...i get you alexa, i totally get you

give me a kiss to build a dream on


the hubs took me on an early valentines date. we like to celebrate valentines either the day before or the day after. from experience, here and in sydney valentines prefix dinners almost always suck. we went to one of our fave japanese ramen haunts Ippudo. mind blowing as per usual

don't forget your lychee martinis...yumo


i highly rec the "modern" ramen

mouth watering hirabata buns


i wore forever21 flower head band, asos crochet dress and i actually wore my docs due to the snow, but i wish i could have worn my jeffrey campbell 99 zip wedge as pictured here


my furry valentine



it took me a hundred takes just to get my love heart hair pin from forever21 in the shot

hope you had a sweet valentines! xoxo

she's so sweet with her jet black stare


the hair, the lips, the stare. i clicked on refinery29 today to see chloe sevigny attending Interview mag's 40 year anniversary. i was at my hairdresser yesterday and was so close to getting my hair cut this short and this way!! but chickened out. maybe ill take the leap for this summer. i wonder if her haircut has something to do with anything happening on her part in the TV show Big Love? this season's Big Love intro is so beautiful and emotional at once. i happen to have met the people who made it

well it's a marvelous night for a moondance


i can't take it. books AND robert pattinson. i think i've died and gone to twi-nerd heaven. his new non-twilight film comes out next month - Remember Me

she is not born like other girls

last saturday i...
wore this: red faux fur trapper hat from market stands at st marks place, top shop overszed cardigan, h&m faux fur jacket, american apparel velvet stirrup leggings and dr martens, bag unknown, bloomingdales leather gloves


ate the most luscious brunch at the Stanton Social with the hubs

he's gonna kill me for saying this- what a cutie!

apparently 11:30 is early for brunch. i was starving

they do tapas style for brunch, so they are small servings. every small morsel was to die for. above is the kobe beef burger and sausage biscuit with gravy served with chips and we also got these unbelievable french onion soup dumplings, a BLT with avocado and red chile mayo, potato latkes with sour cream and apple sauce and i had a pomegranate peach bellini to wash it all down


the hubs is wearing his vintage tweed kangol cap that he owned when he met me 9 years ago rockin it with his nikes

then home to chill and do a quick mani pedi. essie colors red-fishnet stockings and taupe-mink muffs, pure fiji coconut butter...everytime i put this on my dog gogo goes crazy and can't stop licking and smelling me

coconut body butter monster, gogo

wore this to see stand up comedian aziz ansari who's in the show parks and recreation
top shop lace lingerie vest, top shop flowy satin tank, aa velvet leggings

jessica simpson heels, uniqulo dotted ankle socks

diva (australia) ring


he was amazing. we had so much fun. if you ever get a chance you have to go see him
