Designer Acessories

I’m fascinated by the lifestyles of people with so much money that they can afford these kind of things.

Peter Alexander, Winter

I feel like my pajama obsession has been mentioned a few too many times on this blog. None the less, I have to comment on the latest Peter Alexander catalogue – it pretty much screams adorable. I’m not usually a fan of winter pajamas, but with Brisbane nights gradually cooling down, I can’t help but think how warm and cosy I’d be snuggling up in a pair of these PA’s.

What do you think of the winter collection?

Dress Up Doll, Illustration.

Here’s a little preview of an illustration I’m working on for Sesame Magazine. It’s going to be made into an electronic dress up doll. Continue reading for a more detailed look at the illustration.

Pete Cashmore, Geek Crush

Just to pre-warn you, this post is a completely pointless excuse to post pictures of the incredibly handsome Pete Cashmore.

If you don’t follow Social Media, you probably have never heard of Pete Cashmore. He is a 24 year old entrepreneur from Scotland (thank you once again, Scotland) and creator of Mashable.com; the 6th most popular blog in the world, and worth somewhere around 125 million dollars. He is one of the most well-recognised “internet celebrities” and has almost 2 million followers on twitter.

To give you an idea of why everyone is making such a fuss, here’s a quote about Pete from gawker.com regarding the possibility of AOL purchasing Mashable.

A sale to the content-obsessed internet company would mean Mashable’s founder Pete Cashmore really would have everything. Youth, being all of 24 years old. Looks, of the dark and smoldering sort the Scotsman pulls off so well (Inc. magazine popularized him as “the Brad Pitt of the blogosphere”). And cash.

Forgot about how confusing it is for a geeky social media entrepreneur to be this good looking and stylish, and enjoy the following pictures (and video):

Details at Burberry

Burberry Prorsum was absolutely one of my favourite shows from AW 2010/11. I love that Burberry has a defined aesthetic, yet still finds away to be original and exciting with each new collection. I think it’s a testament to the quality and longevity of the brand.

Au Naturel

I’m loving long hair at the moment. I’m slowly growing mine out, but it’s only about half way down my back right now. I dyed my hair dark brown a few months ago, and the colour is finally fading away. I missed my blonde hair. Now I’m in this weird in-between stage; do not like.

Chanel Autumn/Winter Collection. Wampa, is that you?

Um, is it just me or did the Chanel’s Autumn/Winter collection totally remind you of the Wampa and his cave in Empire Strikes Back?

You know, the part where Luke is captured and has to use the force to retrieve his lightsaber?

If you’re still reading, I’m going to assume you know what I’m talking about and agree.

I’m not quite sure what Chanel is thinking here, but kudos to Mr Lagerfeld for the Star Wars reference.

Alexa Chung, front row at Chanel AW10

I’m often equally as interested in what people wear to major fashion shows as I am about the designer’s collections. I loved this outfit from Alexa Chung until I saw the jacket and weird biker-short things (which you can’t really see in these pictures). What do you think?
