Misery Business

My head is so full of everything. I wish I could just shut it out. I feel like I'm falling. It makes me dizzy and I keep falling and it's never going to stop. I need to scream but I can't. I wish it would just all go away and it could just be quiet and nothing would hurt. Nothing makes sense.

Romance Was Born

Romance Was Born for Sportsgirl.

Circus inspired, the collection is entitled Clownin' Around.. Featuring typical Romance Was Born designs, characterised by a pop-tastic colour scheme and insane graphics. And models wearing pastel wigs !! I loved their collaboration with uber artist Del Kathryn Barton.. That collection was amaaaazing. Pastel tshirts covered with giant eye prints and gothic-esque silk dresses printed with Barton's melancholic characters... dreaaamy

The Selby


I love finding new inspiration for re-arranging my bedroom. These are Isabelle McNally's amazingly
beautiful New York apartment ! I adoooreee her squashy armchairs and the "photograph" wall. Erin
Wasson has one aswell (on The Selby) and I tried to replicate it but I cant seem to get the arrangment right.. Or maybe I just need more frames?

Spirited Away




Bill Henson is an amazing Australian photographer.. The pictures are from his Untitled twilight series. The French refer to that time (twilight) as "Entre chien et loup" literally- Between dog and wolf.. "Henson's works are very beautiful but also melancholic. He distorts the boundaries between familiar and unknown, comfortable versus dangerous..."
I would love to have a print to hang on my wall...
