street & style

Street style is one of the great online phenomena of the past decade and definitely one of my most frequently visited. They have become a core reference tool for fashion houses and designers who monitor them for global inspiration and to learn how trends are being adapted on the street - and all without leaving their desks. Yvan Rodic, the photographer and creative behind the world renowned Facehunter, in his amazing eponymous personal blog not only captures street style, but captures the street as well.

so much vampire love going on.

I knew there was some serious vampire hype happening when I spotted in the windows of Supre an ‘I Heart Edward Cullen’ printed series of garments. Yet it seems some more highly esteemed fashion houses have jumped on the bandwagon as well.
Firstly there was the Celebrate the Sun vampire referenced campaign by Karen Walker eyewear, and now Top Shop is following suit with their Horror Girl collection… which in this wee researching endeavour I discovered shipped to New Zealand. Woo!

where have you been the last 20 years of my life?

I thought Anna Chlumsky dropped off the face of the earth. She was stored in this little box in my head with my once future husband Macaulay Culkin, or at least retired since her days as Vada.

Apparently not. She is back, and 28, and starring in Armando Lannucci’s new film In the Loop.

And she’s looking pretty good.
