pining for abbey lee

abbey lee kershaw. what can i say the girl is babein. shes an absolute sex bomb.

I just remember when she got discovered in gf model search, even then i thought she was pretty heckers with her cons and her nose piercing. but without a doubt now she is THE epitome of cool. She makes trashbag hot. The whole hobo thing - she does it with class. I love her and I would totally turn gay for the girl. So Abbey lets be loverrrsss.

a friend of a friend of mine.

Oh lordy lordy. I am gushing with euphoria.Friend of mine is the most gorgeous brand ever. They are an amazing Australian brand creating unique yet on trend pieces. I have loved them for some time now. But now they have new clothes available for viewing. Looking over their latest range I feel the inclination to squeal in excitement. And I for one am generally not a squealer. My absolute personal favourites are their Bianca Jagger leather high waisted shorts and their 'Gilbert' Shorts. Go stalk their clothes and squeal with me. The link is on the right. clickety clickety.

Rosemount Sydney Fashion Festival

1.some of my blurry as photos from the show..its hard to take photos on the iphone when people are walking. those male models were so dreamboat.

2.i couldnt get this song out of my head after hearing it at the launch.

"why dont you want me like the other boys do..they stare at me while I stare at you..."

today i was fortunate enough to attend the Rosemount Sydney Fashion Festival Myer Spring Summer Fashion Launch thanks to my lovely friend Amy who had VIP tickets. I usually only go to Myer to buy perfume and presents for family members, however I was very impressed with their spring/summer range. Nauticals, nudes, pastels and feminine floral prints were the recurring themes of all designers with the highlights for me definetely being Yeojin Bae, Ellery and Wayne Cooper.

We were actually fortunate enough to rub shoulders with the likes of Wayne Cooper and ANTM's Henry Roth whilst drinking complimentary champagne and my new favourite alcoholic beverage Rosemount Rose between nibbles of h'ordeouves.

I was also pretty impressed with Jen hawkins I still believe shes overrated but I now think she has a bit more than the average girl but i was slightly dissapointed with the 'next big thing' Samantha Harris whom I adore who seems to need to practice her catwalk..not that Im any expert.

Overall it was an excellent day with the Myer Goodie Bag at the end confirming all this. I caught the train home tipsy on rose sipping on the perrier I had pulled out of my 'showbag' wishing I could do it all again tomorrow.

week 2: may the force be with you.

hey there space cadets.

Words that come to mind...

intergalactic prints.metallic craziness.silver.star wars.space invaders.barabella.aliens.e.t.astronauts

since neil armstrong first landed on the moon we have seen the creation of outfits and shoes of epic proportions

i always wanted to be an astronaut they get to wear space suits and defy gravity but now i can do all that from the comfort of my home planet.

defying gravity with shoes that dont even bother with a heel..

i feel that this fashion definitely reflects the world's constant quest to see the future.futuristic prints portraying the galaxy's stars and planets..Christopher Kane launched this crazy awesome line of la future.. as exhibited above its babein and i have crazy love for his stuff

i must admit i have succumbed to this trend but as yoda says 'beware of the dark side' dont follow in the Ladys footsteps and go Gaga to the point where people start describing you as a little monster.

If stuck simply say these words...

Help me Obi Wan Kanobi you are my only hope.

week 1: what a dapper bunch.

hey there cronie
Words that come to mind...
Pipes. turbans. blue rinses.trolleys and walkers embellished with rhinestones and glitter.
When you think of the elderly Im sure the words "In my day" warbled by an old senile woman with a hunchback wearing orthopedic shoes and smelling like mould come to mind. However when I think about those in their golden years, i think of tea parties, lawn bowls and bingo with all company decked out in their septugenarian splendour.

It used to be hip to be young with the latest fashions collected from expensive brands, but now the old is new. Seasoned wears are the new thing and raiding grandmas closet is no shame, so go have a geeze if you dont mind mothballs and cobwebs.The way I see it is that all styles came from somewhere and the old are the key to it all, they have still got it.

Mayaan Zilberman has best encompassed what it is to be septugenarian chic with her website Advanced Style which is like the Satorialist for the older generation.I glorify the old. I indulge in bingo every wednesday 7.30 sharp , and although I dont love all the old folk I love a fair amount of them.

I just pray that if I get to be old and gnarly , even if my eyes are gone and i need a wheelchair that my fashion is fierce.

in the beginning...

My name is Tonye. Im 19 . I believe in experimenting with everything at least once. I wouldnt be surprised if i lived fast and died young at this rate. This blog that I have created is a uni project. Each week I will choose a theme/ fashion era of cool and reinterpret the way i see fit. Love it, hate it ..whatever. BABEIN.
