More specifically the 70's headscarf type of headband. Bringing pattern and colour right up in your face. For that super cool hipster look. For when you're leaving your boyfriends house with messy hair on a Sunday - grab a scarf and look like a cool kid, not like a mess-head. Definatly rocking this look all summer and especially as a savior at festivals.
Listen to Celebrity Skin by Hole for this one. Every once in a while you get that urge to dress super trash and say a big fuck you to the world through trashyass but sassy dress. Go out and get irrationally angry at someone at 2am. Have an argument and stomp off. Embrace the trash. Check out Toxic Vision.
I listened to The Cure Love Cats while looking at this artist, and it somehow fits so nicely I think you should too. Quirky, slightly disturbing yet playful and delightful. There's something sinister in there, I think it has something to do with the notion the photos have actually been stabbed repeatedly with pins in the process of hand sewing these masks and patterns on top. There is something disturbing about effecting/ masking/ stabbing/ scratching out faces that's deeply ingrained in the human psyche. Take a look at Stacey Page. I hope she goes far, it's great stuff.
By Keri Smith. This book is completely hand written. It's very impressive. I love how she includes the references for ideas so this book leads on to so many other people. This book changes your life. It makes you think. It makes you look. It's brilliant. Read this, start looking, start collecting, and this book will change you, in a beautiful way.
Kester Black is the brainchild of Anna Ross. Who just so happens to also be from my hometown in New Zealand. Another one to look out for. Her latest carved wooden animal collection pulls at my heart strings. So much love and care and craftsmanship has gone into the pieces. The stones are beautiful and mystical too. Kester Black is making a real hit in Melbourne, and rightly so, its beautiful stuff you can cherish for life.
Sassy femme fatale, who would quite happily kill you, meets seaside fisherman from Yorkshire. I don't know how John Galliano does it, but it's amazing.
The top in the top image is Karen Walker. I love this geometric bracelet in the bottom image. Think the grey shorts/ bottoms are Stolen Girlfriends Club or Kate Sylvester. Love NO Magazine. It's one of the best, so happy it made it over to Australia last year. Another great New Zealand mag taking over the world.
