Black + Plaits + Chiffon

Getting ready to go out. For some reason I felt the need to take a photo of my newly plaited do, because I was so proud that I could plait it by myself! Yay, hair and stuff.

Postcard Love.

I received a postcard today. It was all very exciting. It was from my dear friend Darian who stayed with me a couple of weeks ago. It inspired me to make postcards and send them to all my loved ones. So that is what I am doing today.

  

Inspiration.

Things that look like a lot of fun.

Fiona Green inspiration wall (am very excited to have a clear wall at my new house) /  Devon Aoki / Lukas Gansterer gimp party / Cute outfits with fur coats, chunky heeled boots, fringes and socks / Lavender nailpolish (still my favourite) and smoking pretty papers / Getting milky on Lukas Gansterers latest project, Milk /  The ever stylish couple that are Charlotte Kemp and Sean Lennon / Ending your time in a big new city.

Ahh, I love eighties costume jewelry. That whole era of black + gold + red, oversized everything, mammoth hair and glamour. It reminds me of French perfume that all smells like your Mums dressing table. They. all. smell. the. same. Photography by Lukas Gansterer.

Wrap me up.

I miss wearing big scarves! I lived in them back home, and now its 40 degree heat and I dont want to wear any clothes at all. I once got told by a boy at uni that he had never not seen me in a gigantic scarf, like I secretly didn't have a neck or something.

Airy.

 

I mentioned Corinne Day a little earlier on with the Kate Moss Fifteen, shoot.

I like her photography. She was one of the pioneers of the infamous Herion Chic movement in the eighties - with glamorous anorexic models on drugs. She passed away last year.

Aztec Gods

Some artwork I enjoy by L.A artist Kutmah.

He drew these (freehand) whilst in prison in New Mexico after being deported from the U.S.

Under the title, Two Soups & A Honeybun, the drawings take the form of futuristic cosmic Aztec creatures and monoliths. Neat.
 Here is a mixtape of his with a rad MF Doom poem (track one)

Thank you Gatito for the link!

Winona Forever

  Winona and Johnny. Dreamy couple. So grungy and glamorous, all at the same time.

Somebody Loves You

I got some new things today. Cute story - I was on my way home when I heard someone shout out my name - it was Marcus, an old friend from high school. I told him about this Karen Walker necklace I liked, the apple skull oxidized silver one and so he came with me to try it on. On the way there he bought me freshly squeezed juice from my favourite Mediterranean food shop - it was a melon, apple, carrot, pear, lemon and ginger juice, delicious. So I tried on my necklace and we decided it was awesome, then I saw the Herschel bags and decided I definitely needed a backpack for my trip to Adelaide for the Laneway festival next week. So I bought both and we continued our walk down Smith St in 35 degree heat. That was my afternoon. I also drew some postcards to send to friends and bought some organic produce.

The Indie Desert.

Laneway in less than a month!

So many delightful bands that I'm itching to see live. 

Indie music love.

Summer, Home.

Beautiful friend reunion times!

Nico & Sparrow.

 In the Summer of 2009, my friend Jasmin and I decided to make a clothing line, inspired by her jewelery work with feathers. We called it Nico & Sparrow and here was the first samples of the range. It was a lot of fun to make, we would get together and sketch ideas, we imported 10 metres of black chiffon (the only fabric I think I will ever use with confidence), bunch loads of rooster / duck / pheasant and quinea fowl feathers, metres of satin bias binding and made up tags and care tags, and got sewing in the dreamy Summer of Wellington (in which time I moved flats where I had a bigger working space). We made around ten samples (the only one I have left is the feather shoulder dress) then Jaz got to work getting them on models and photographed, and getting her own label, Jasmin Sparrow, up and running. I then went back to uni to finish off my degree and passed on the project to her and is doing incredibly well now and can see her here http://www.jasminsparrow.co.nz.
