sitting, waiting, wishing

what i love most about autumn has always been the weather, and what that weather brings with it:
coolness even on a sun-drenched afternoon, tingling cold lips & icy cheeks, checkered jackets, woolen scarves & thigh-high socks, and the opportunity to literally let one's hair down to feel the baby breeze flirt with your tresses

craig lawrence spring/summer '11 (nsfw)

craig lawrence's spring/summer collection transports us into a fairytale world by the seashore where the sun busks every living being in its warmth & mermaid-like creatures with piercing blue eyes look sensual in their messy fishtail braids & skin-skimming outfits that resemble fishnets taken apart, soaked in shimmery liquid & re-sewed again with delicate care

lonely hearts bandits

'little bandits', by lonely hearts
shot by rene vaile

a/w 2011 campaign shots by lonely hearts, the other amazing fashion cult label coming from nz
inspired by a quote about Maxime de Falaise Mckendry: "she was a rebel, a true bohemian. she didn't give a damn
about what was in -- in fashion or anything else. she lived the way she wanted, with money and without."

i want to slip into that lace panel black sheer dress & be a lonelyhearts bandit so badly
