Yes maybe it was a liiiittle bit too cold to wear this today, but I couldn't help myself when I received this insanely cool leather skirt earlier this week.
Om nom nom.
Bless'ed are the Meek have always been a dear favourite of mine, and their show at MBFWA was one I still think back to. I can't really pinpoint what it is about this brand that make them awesome, but I know I love it.
It's not often I come across a campaign that has been taken through a big thought-process - supporting the brands behind it and showing off the good stuff in a creative way.
So when I was sent the Winter 2012 Surf, Dive & Ski campaign 'We Dye Denim' - there was love. Being a bit of a hobby-creative myself, I really appreciate this celebration of coloured denim in all shapes and colours, brought to you by surf-suited Volcom, Insight, Billabong, RVCA, Element, Roxy and Globe.

As promised, I did a little interview with none other than babin' Steph Cherry, who recently became the ambassador of Volcom. Like that doesn't make her cool enough, with a smile like that I can only see this little lady becoming bigger and better every day. She also has a blog à la Volcomunity, right here.
1. What's the most memorable place you've been to? My trip to Cape Town in South Africa this year would have to be one of the most memorable places I have visited. The views were breath taking and it has a cool chilled out vibe similar to Sydney.
2. Did you ever dream of another career, rather than modeling? I’ve always dreamed of being either a journalist a personal trainer or a film producer/director. I haven’t actually decided which one I like most though.
3. If you could chose ONE piece from your wardrobe to wear everyday? It would have to be my leather jacket I got from Volcom. It literally goes with everything and can be worn during the day when you are out with friends or during the evening when your going out on the town.
4. "In five years time, I will be..." Hopefully walking down the run way for Victoria’s secret but if not I’d probably still be travelling around the world, taking millions of photos and telling everyone about my wonderful adventures.
5. What's the best thing about being the ambassador for Volcom? I love the Volcom team so much and being able to work with such wonderful people would have to be the highlight of my job. I also love shooting with them for their catalogs and writing about my interests and experiences for their blog.
A menagerie is/was a form of keeping common and exotic animals in captivity that preceded the modern zoological garden. The term was first used in seventeenth century France in reference to the management of household or domestic stock. Later, it came to be used primarily in reference to aristocratic or royal animal collections.
This divine silk scarf from little (amazing) find L'Avion makes me feel everything it represents - feminine, cheeky and spoilt. These pretty little creations each have a story behind them - each illustrated by different artists - this one in particular by Sarah Hankinson. The term L’avion means ‘the airplane’. It symbolises the romance of travel, seeking out a new destination or just enjoying the smaller journeys in everyday life.
There happens to be a little competition going on L'Avion's Facebook page, so if you feel like it please get in and support me.
PS - Two voters get a $150 L'Avion gift... so get in there.
Let me tell you, this scarf is wearable in a million different way and can't go wrong any way you choose, I say simple is sweet.
Volcom never fails to make me want to take my skateboard, throw my headphones on, grab a RedBull and run out the door. Careless, fun, free. This AW 2012 is not different for them - shooting Steph Cherry at Carrige Works in Sydney. I love the way Volcom can make anything look cool, and I guess with a face like that - you'll look good in anything. Especially if Bec Parsons is shooting you!
I've got a DNM with Steph Cherry that I've meant to post for a while - stay tuned.
Volcom drops their new range in stores this month. Coloured denim, anyone?
So we already knew VOLCOM were cool. Brace yourselves, they've just stepped it up a notch.
Summer and all it's wonder, the sunshine, the freedom, the never ending nights and mysterious mornings. VOLCOM have teamed up with the über hot DJ Duo POSSOto bottle all of this in creating this magical range just in time for Summer. Think romantic Gypsy meets cheeky Hippie - with a sense of carelessness and being free.
The duo of Vanessa Giovacchini and Marylouise Pels bring their love for music, fashion, art and poetry together to make this beautiful mess of must-have summer pieces.
“This collection is not about trends, it’s about a lifestyle… Each style is truly inspired by our imaginings of a new breed of traveling gypsies, just like us. “ -‐-‐ POSSO
The range hits stores this week, choose your favourites on VOLCOM's website or in store. Better yet, the POSSO girls blog (here) on Volcom's site. And let's face it, you can't look past a duo who's just DJ at a Miu Miu event in New York City.
