ALL BLESS




By a process of deduction I think these are the dudes that did the fringe stunners from Beyonces 'Diva' video. Bless is a german label founded in 1997 that produce clothing, accessories and homeware all with a massive focus on directional design. I was never too taken with the garms but I like what they're trying to with the whole art/fashion flex so...

A knock-off coming to those shops with no doors on the wrong side of Oxford St that blast Akon like there's no tomorrow any day now. 



IS IT MY GO, IS IT YOUR GO?



I'm screwing a little bit. I've lost my super long black beanie that sticks up straight and makes me look as much like Aaliyah as i'm ever going to get. It's good as it helps to de-slag a look if here's a lot of tightness going on, i'm wearing heels AND my tights have holes (often).


Was assisting Francesca Burns on a shoot on Friday with the lovely Beth Ditto for the Gossip's new album and that's what made me remember I missed my Back&Forth video inspired hat. I was wearing my favourite Aaliyah tee and Fran, Beth, the rest of The Gossip, the photographer and the make-up dude all went nuts for it! On seperate, individual occasions. It's crazy how many different people love her. If I ever drop a line, I'll definitely have some sort of Aaliyah face print up in there - it's what the people want! She was so, so, so, so great. Miss Ditto was the best thing ever too even though she did discuss menstruation a lot.

Here's Beth singing Aaliyah:



Here's the tee:



Here's the link to the LOVE magazine blog where I swiped the pic Fran took of Beth of her Blackberry. It's nice.






WANG

The 2nd most ballingest shop in the world, Opening Ceremony is now transactional...and they'll ship to B30! Fans of Peter Pilotto, Meadham Kirchoff, Band of Outsiders, Porter, Black Black or OCs own label should browse on over as it looks superbuff too.

Unfortunately Alexander Wang won't be visiting Cotteridge anytime soon as all his pieces I'm down for (the entire collection you understand) are slightly creditmunch unfriendly. There's a diffusion range, T by Alexander Wang but tbh its simply not as good. 

However if my steady grind leads me to a spare $950.00 i'd drop it on this.

Team with Bless' metal fringe stunners and i'm flossy. If my Mum asks me anything I'll say I picked them up from Mark One or possibly Quiz.

BREAST MILK-SHAKE

Horrendous title I know, I know but I didn't even know hotgirl was pregnant!


I use the term hotgirl loosely. I love Kelis but the cutting and dying of hair from black to pink turned out to be a slippery slope with dodgy 80s make-up coming along for the ride. It seems increasing levels of married bliss to Nas are inversely proportional to her buffness.

I'm just being mean. She's the baddest and i'm sure the baby will be a looker.
