Make A Brand New Start

Relaunch Nov 09

Alice In Wonderland!

Wow. This looks A.M.A.Z.I.N.G. With capitals and full stops. A potential new favourite film?

I hope it is good. But really how could it not be?

Blow Up

Two iconic scenes from Blowup, a 1966 British-Italian art film directed by Michelangelo Antonioni. 

I remember seeing this for the first time in a film lecture at University, and laughing the whole way through the part with Jane Birkin running around in the nude after David Hemmings. So strange. But it's a great film and an amazing look at Swinging London, 60's Models, and Fashion.

Crown of Stars

I'm getting my hair cut and coloured today and am trying (for the 10th time) to get close to a natural dark blonde/light brown. Eniko-style.

O-Bomb

I'm having a bit of an orange obsession. 

I can't wait to get my hands on one of the D&G lipsticks in an orange shade, and am contemplating this Chloe wallet which is on sale at Net-A-Porter. Oh, and I just painted my nails with O.P.I's Cajun Shrimp. I forgot how much I loved the colour. Maybe I'll paint a wall in my new room orange?

Romeo + Juliet

Polished

Today I found a photo of my nail polish collection, while trawling through the zillion images saved on my computer. 

Too bad that I bite my nails, so they are hardly ever long enough to bother painting them!

The Make Up

The Campaign for D&G's new makeup line has been working its magic on me. Sad but true. Scarlett looks amazing and I love their decision to show her whole body rather than the typical facial close-ups that are used to sell beauty products . The packaging is luxurious and the amazing make up artist, Pat McGrath, collaborated on designing the range. They really have made a top effort!

 I'm not sure if the range is available in Australia yet, but as soon as it is I can see myself buying a few lipsticks (one red and one of the amazing orange tones), a neutral eyeshadow quad and possible even foundation. So much for saving!

Chanel vs. Dior

Chanel versus Dior. 

Extended advertisements or "sponsored artworks" seem to be all the rage nowadays. 

Chanel definitely wins for me! I love it.

Movie Frames

I recently bought a bunch of big posters from some of my favourite films. I want to frame a couple for decoration in my new room, although I'm having trouble deciding!

Not hard to tell who my favourite directors are. Alas, no Godard film posters. Apparently they are rare and are so expensive!

I Just Don't Know What To Do With Myself

Kate Moss. Sofia Coppola. The White Stripes.

Worth a look.

Crystals

Crystal pendants and necklaces by Unearthen. I like the Topaz and Amethyst, but there is also a nice Tangerine Quartz one on the site that is not yet in the shop.

Voyeur

I love seeing how other people decorate and organise their houses. Especially now that my bedroom is being renovated and i'm trying to work out how I want it to look. So these are some of my favourite photos from The Selby. Inspiration.
