A festivus for the rest of us


A present for a friend


Presents from friends. Paperblanks journals are so wonderful. Only got over my phobia to write in them this year, you silly phobia you!


Bobo loves his Unicorn Onesie! No intention of growing up for either of us


Ooh, he's playing coy now!

Winona Ryder 90's style


Suit! Dinosaur suitcase, brogues!


Tom Waits, leather jacket, 90's jeans!
I hate today's clothing standards. 'Side-boob' and denim shorts that technically are really underpants. Low hanging jeans and low hanging brains....

A Philip Larkin poem for you: Aubade

Lorde


Sick album


Wonderful outfits, stage and offstage


and i love this interview with her on The Project, bashful and contemplative, not loud and flashy like too many manufactured pop stare. Check out her Tumblr too, great lyrics, great hair and the necklace in that interview is wicked!!

Merry Christmas Mr Lawrence

If you want a great film but a really heartbreakingly beautiful one at that, then watch Merry Christmas Mr Lawrence



Sure, it has the wonderfully mega-talented Mr Bowie in it, but this is a film I'd encourage anyone to see for so many reasons.
 The main reason of this post was in fact the soundtrack by Ryuichi Sakamoto which is some of the most haunting music on Earth, Music instantly changes moods for some people, and I really hope this films incredible beauty, not only as a story but with the soundtrack can be enjoyed by many more.


Please if you enjoy classical music and have five minutes to spare, listen to this incredible piece of Music

Australian Pirates

No I don't mean these guys (I'm sure people heard we have some funny political parties here in Australia, just like Vermin Supreme in America etc.)
 I read this the other day, how Aussies are the biggest illegal downloaders per capita in the world, I think it also has a lot to do with because we're on such a delay for shows like Downton Abbey and Game of Thrones and commercial networks have only really started broadcasting 'fast tracked' shows in the last few years here, but i digress-

Does this mean we can all start wearing Pirate hats in public? Then get known as awesome hat place and not racist bogan place?


Woo! Pirate hat party!


Lou Doillon pirate hat red carpet originality!
Perhaps my love for pirate hats won't cotton on with the rest of the Australian public, but you can't blame someone for trying!

 If something as terrifying as 'side-boob' can become a 'trend' why the hell can't this?

Both pics saved randomly from Tumblr

Musicians get to wear some awesome stuff

Freddie Mercury and Lady Miss Kier in their Harlequin-y jumpsuit-y goodness


Annie Lennox! The whole 'man style' thing, I think it was big before it became a 'thing'? Am i wrong? From Lennox to Madonna to Lady Gaga and Kate Bush, it's like someone somewhere decided to hit the 'lets obviously make this a trend' button (completely being hidden by NASA! and Conde-Nast interns, no more!)


Elton John



One of my favourite Lady Gaga outfits/ looks (before the Renaissance channelling began)


Matching Piano! No matter how many bubbles i put on my drumkit they end up dying a swift musical death


I wish there were more everyday situations where these would be ideal


I really don't like the eerie parallel between these and tacky Victoria's Secret 'angel wings' ? Hopefully that's only in my black hole of a mind

All pics were taken from Tumblr, which pilfers from worldwide sites, or go to 4chan if you want pics!! Wahoo, welcome to the internet

Risto Bimbiloski awesome prints


Risto Bimbiloski clothing is incredible!
 Surface of the moon prints on a dress= ethereal beauty!
 More at the site here


That trench coat is so stunning, whilst a fan of the regular beige-y trench, for days Astral projection is too time consuming or your spirit is being held down by the man in general, imagine popping into one of these celestial beauties!


Luckily space/galaxy prints (Science fans rejoice!) filtered through from just Risto and Christopher Kane to the more high street brands that are a bit more acceptable for broke students who want some space time loving too


Lightning strike dress!  As worn by Katy Perry who can A) afford it if B) it wasn't sent to her for free. Does anyone find it slightly disheartening when people who get swag for free talk about how much they love fashion and style? Isn't it what you do when you CAN'T afford it? Maybe the punks were onto something there....

All pics were taken from Tumblr. Oh and from every blog ever, Risto is a bit of a blog-catch on like perfume, macarons, Mary Jane flats or Alexa Chung
