+PINK NINJA

Having "normal" bottle blonde hair for a while now, i decided it was time.
Time to Man-repel my image.

What's this involve you ask? 
Taken straight from the mouth of New Yorks top Man Repeller, it's 
"outfitting oneself in a sartorially way that will result in repelling members of the opposite sex" 
Ie; Dying hair colours that are not blonde or brunette ( apparently they find this intimidating), wearing harem pants (something men will never understand) and jewellery that resembles a weapon,
 etc etc...
So im pretty much a walking advertisment of a typical man repeller- i dress for me (& other fashionable woman) not for men. The day you see me in a short skirt (puke), pretty top and thigh high boots- u'l know im dressing for penis.
Now iv been pink before but not this super cool lilac slash fairy floss pink and im totes digging it!!
A big thanks to Emily at Paul Corbet Salon.

+STORM TROOPER

How ridiculously cool is the Ostrich Feather jacket? 
We just got in Sydney label
Love Story, and god be damn im in love with all their fur.
Like a lot of fashionisto's i have mixed feelings about wearing real (& vintage) fur. 
At first i think of a cute lil bunny or cow or whatever animal that got (i won't say slaughted) but 
crucified and given as an offering, and i kinda feel bad.
But then i think, you know what its the circle of life-
We die, they die, more of us get born and more of them get born and then i don't feel so bad.
It's about freedom of choice. Some ppl choose to be vegetarians or Christians or jews or gays.
Good on them. 
If they are comfortable and thats what they want to do, then by all means DO IT.
Its your life, your choice.
You just have to unfortunately deal with judgemental dicks. But that's pretty standard in life these days with anything...
And when it comes to fur, i don't feel embarrassed, i feel glamorous!

So moral of the story is, wearing fur may not be politically correct, but being comfortable with one's self is the definition of chic. 
I'd rather be chic. 







+Wearing: Blackmilk galaxy leggings, Lela Jacobs smoking robe, 
Kate McCoy single earring, sam eldeman boots, Amaka bag,
LoveStory ostrich feather jacket.

+All Gilets & Jackets from LoveStory.
Instore now 

BUT for all you animal lovers out there we do think of you too and we have some lovely Faux fur items in store too.. 
So put away those derogatory comments and don't be a hater.

+STREET WALKER

Im a woman of many bad habits 
(most we wont go into as its just plain embarrassing) 
BUT one bad habit i shall share, and that i just can't kick is dressing appropriately 
for catching public transport... 
Example a). 
I didn't think twice about wearing these latex black pants while getting dressed this morning, however hopping on the train with a few eyes gazing and cookie cutter woman dressed in their little teapot grey matching suits looking astound, i thought
shit! i ain't in surry hills  and i must look like 
a M.A.S.S.I.V.E call girl right now
going home...after a long nights shift.. 
Lucky i have a go-to plan:
Put sunnies on, pump up ipod, head down & pray there are no god damn track delays
or no money offerings.cos i may/or may not take the cash and run..joking.
girl betta WERQ!

Who says only street workers can wear red lips, fur & latex on a friday morning.

This is my version of the whole "sports luxe" trend thats
happening... 
Screw sexy cashmere jersey's, silk printed racerback tops and chic tailored neon tight shorts,

Think oversized, think ghetto, think B.O.S.S!
Yesterday i picked up this oversized college varsity jacket from a vintage store across the road
and  i have teamed it with a hint of neon & leather.
And it wouldn't be right if i didn't include that banging Fang leather cap & skull tassel necklace!














+Wearing: Vintage letter jacket, Lela Jacobs pants, I.d.s neon tank, cheap stripe top, 2weeks massive spike ring, silver skull ring by Sofia Fitzpatrick, OS tooth leather hat and
