Seventeen

Today is my 17th birthday, and I spent it shooting with the incredibly talented Fabliha Reza

The shoot was styled by me, inspired by miu miu s/s 10 to an extent, and incorporating the colored hair trend - taking me back to my obsession with colored hair when i was a mere pre-teen.

Featuring pastels, ribbon, tulle and the stunning costume jewelry in my previous post.

Nails were Chanel Jade Green and my hair was streaked with lavender.

Now, I would never normally post images that were taken on mac photo booth.

But I am extremely tired and cannot be bothered setting up my muslin and taking decent pictures.

But i figured your all itching to see what I look like (nealy one year and most of you - unless you follow me on twitter - will have no idea!) . And today is as good a day as any.

So these will have to do.

Introducing, Madeleine Louise (wekilledcouture)

Photos by me...obviously

Screen Siren

I'm quite lucky to be able to say all the following pieces are all sitting on my dining table as I type this.

After scrubbing each piece with a toothbrush and toothpaste (the best way to clean costume jewelry) various inscriptions on the back of some became legible. Some say "Austria" "Holly..." "1957" And most of them are real crystal.

Mum was given this (and more that have been lost over the years) By an old time film star who lived in the apartment next to mum when mum lived in Brentwood / Hollywood.

When the lady passed away, mum was given her jewelry.

I'm wearing the pieces for a photo shoot I have on sunday (which is also my 17th birthday)

Photos all by me

Final Runway

Alexander McQueen's final runway show, fall 2010/2011

It was incredible, though less produced and far smaller than Lee probably had planned, however the presentation of only 15 showpieces in a gilded salon would have been a highly emotional experience for anyone present.

Blonde on Blonde

Fantastic editorial, with a model off duty / fashion blogger / magazine editor mix of styling.

It's everything I love.

Mind is like a mad monkey.

I think i just fell in love.

Monkey fur, houndstooth, disheveled hair, oversized sunglasses, barely there red lipstick, big black scarf.

And cigarette in hand.

The color of truth is gray.

I am deathly in love with this shoot, but all of his work is stunning.

I need something like this in my portfolio.

The tone, the atmosphere - Brilliant

And a fellow blogger from Brisbane no less.

Alexander Wang FW1011

So it's been said to channel "Twilight" (something i never ever thought i would mention on this blog... ever... )

But all i see is a rather dark collection, that with some editing could be perfect..

Some of it just looks a bit.. underwhelming.. and some is just bad mixing of fabrics.

Don't get me wrong, I love A. Wang, when he hits it right.. he hits it right.

But this... doesn't make me want to buy it.

And in the end... isn't that the point.. to make us want it? covet it?

I do quite like these 3 looks though...

Preen AW2010

My first show posting from New York Fashion week this season, and it's wonderful.

Fantastic examples of draping and fit, and exploration of fabric. And not to mention cut-outs.
