I follow...WIT

I follow WIT. London based Fashion Editor @ Red Magazine. Love her style. Can't remotely come close to her wardrobe but I forgive her cos it's her job. Here's a few of my fav looks from recent weeks...





Sharing

I'm the most un-photogenic person I know. Genuinely look 'odd', 'startled' and 'porky' in most photos. This one is frighteningly normal so I thought I'd share. This is me with my fav wee man, Hylton, whose Mum, Deanna is coincidently the most photogenic person I know.


And here's a better one of the little cutie with my also photogenic husband - why is it everyone but me?!

Love a bit of J-Crew. Visual fix at moment cos they don't ship to NZ. Sigh. Would head over to NY twice yearly for a shop but the private jet is in for a re-fit and damned if I'll fly commerical. Some of my fav looks from Fall '11







Bat '90

K, Refinery 29 did a USA Mall 1990 retrospective and my heart skipped a beat at this photo. The 12-year old in me still wants some of this shizzle...happy days.


Also, love a good Goth. As refinery states 'O.G - Original Goth. Respect'

Refinery 29

Just a quick shout out to a daily fashion, lifestyle, shopping, design newsletter I really enjoy - Refinery 29. Introduces me to multitudes of loveliness...



Psycho Sister

Erm...I thought I was a bit twisted but Mariel Clayton is up there with those talented freaks who write crime dramas, except she uses a camera not a typewriter. I once gave my barbie a buzzcut but never thought to slice her face off? Here's some of the 'safer' ones...

Francie's First...Haircut

Here's our adora-puppy pre her first visit to the groomers i.e. before she arrived in their foyer and shat all over the place *sigh*


She must have redeemed herself as they still thought her worthy enough to put bows in her hair...




The bow's lasted long enough for photos then she wanted them decidedly out!

Art + Love

Dog lovers go sigh...


From here.
Something to keep in mind when my friend Kathryn of Pawtfolio comes to take our Frances' photo - once she's had a haircut!

Look at these clever stylists from H&M home (UK). I think I favour the second look...

Raw Nostalgia



Sheer Romance







Tis' the Season

for award shows. Just my 10-cents, picks from Golden Globes...in order of favouriteness

1. Mila Kunis - colour, shape, ruching, love.

2. Mrs Mark Wahlberg - tone on tone can be dull but she looks gorgeous

3. Eva - shape! shape! shape!

4. Kyra - accesories maketh the outfit

5. Catherine - has been wearing some wacky stuff about town, so pleased she's turned the on switch back on for the red carpet

6. Sophia - this was on no-ones best list but I think she's wearing it well

7. January - a bit out there but the hair, make-up and minimal accessories have softened it to perfection

8. Angelina - rather the same column, simple style from Angie but have to admit the colour is off-the-charts on her
