Armani Prive Spring Couture 2011

Holy fuck.

When I am killing time on the internet, my heavenly head space resides in Opening Ceremony. I can't afford any of it of course, there's barely anything less than $100 but fashion is for dreamers, non? In an ideal world I would preferably like to purchase most of the Christopher Kane, Hussein Chalayan & Chloe Sevingny garments, because to be honest, how much easier would it be to be beautifully well-dressed & awesome in every way, if you had access to a wardrobe standard of Opening Ceremony?

A headspace doubly needed today as I had my English exam this morning. West ok...hopefully. I just wish it was last week when we did the mock. I was well ready then. Oh well, good luck to everyone else doing exams at the moment. And for now I hope you like the eye/head candy.

If only.

Later than scheduled, but no less in quality.

ISSUE±7 of SWEAT is here!

This month including: Hanan Qattan of King Top Takeaway, fashion by Nicole Holm, art by Eda Unturk PLUS screen prints & illustrations. I'm back printing it myself so there are no free issues but you can read it here. & purchase it for just £3 with free P&P here.

Crazily these are my 5 favorite screen shots from Kanye West's video for Runaway, in order they are in the video. As you can tell, it doesn't make much sense: pheonix girl falls from the sky with feathers that magically (& distractingly) remain over her boobs, then via a weird night parade, a dinner where all the guests are black & the servers are white, some ballerinas, they fall in love & whilst having sex she evolves & learns to fly 'home'.

Anyway know it came out a while ago, but I've just bought his album after having given up on him after the purple university album. And he's been everywhere lately, including his video for Monsters, any thoughts on it? I guess it's about models/fashion industry. I feel like I should hate it like everyone else but I actually think it's clever by way of making the implicit explicit. But enough of that, if you haven't watched either I erge to too, as well as listening to the track below. It's my favorite of the album & mystically I found some lyrics from it scrawled on my arm from last night...I think.



Enjoy!

Here are some lovely flapper images from this amazing etsy shop: flapperdoodle. With the image I wish existed as a card to give for Valentines. Man the first three months of the year are tough of relationship gift wise. Christmas/birthday/valentines/birthday. Sucks.

I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I have been absent from the blogging world for over a week. But the truth is nothing much has been blog worthy. Even though I have had thoughts, found new music & had 2 of my online purchases delivered; I've really jut been sat watching series of 30 Rock & Community, interspersed with revision. Endless. Fucking. Revision.

Exams have taken over my life.

My weekend in pictures. My creepers arrived! My mum got me them for Christmas, but I had to send them back because they were too big. Jay said I was living up to my nickname Bambi, when I started trying to walk in them, but I'll get it eventually... Finished Hangover Square & started on Portrait of an Addict of a Young Man. It's actually pretty good, I do love the library & the looks they give me when I take out 2 drug books, 1 thing on 3D embroidery & a popular fiction novel all at the same time. Watched Greece again & realised how much Jay is a T-Bird wannabe. And finally I added a lot more to the little paper quote collection covering the equation on my wall. Complete with a Robert Browning poem & something that says: jess = jesus without the u, us without the you = me. Makes total sense, of course.

How was your weekend?
