Anna Dello Russo, currently Editor At Large and creative consultant for Vogue Japan- love her style! 

Once described by Helmut Newton as a "fashion maniac", her outfits and accessories are bold, experimental and exaggerated! From oversized waist belts to headdresses, she describes herself as a passionate fashionista and is an avid collector of fashion and jewellery.

A girl can never have too much clothes and accessories! x

PLAY!

COLORS OF SPAIN by KIMW.

skull inspiration by KIMW.

I've recently found this website www.polyvore.com which lets you play and create amazing sets with images sourced from the internet and your own images as well. I've been playing around and it actually gets pretty addictive!

The top set is currently what I'm dreaming of now- summer in Spain! to escape the cold weather here in Melbourne. And the bottom set is my inspiration board for My Secret Agent Lover Man's upcoming collection "The Grave Escape" which will feature gold plated skulls, semi precious stones like tourmaline, quartz, mixed with fresh water pearls. It is definitely my favourite collection to date!

Right now I think I might just get back to playing a little more ;) It reminds me a little of the paper dolls I used to dress up as a little girl, changing their paper clothes and bags. This is like an adult version where you get to mix and match images of places, people, fashion, and words! When was the last time you played? x

Happy Friday! It's the weekend again, and for those of us who are thinking of doing some online shopping instead of heading out into the cold, check out www.youngrepublic.com.au and www.themarketlane.com. Launched only in May and June 2011 respectively, both websites are dedicated to showcasing and selling Australian emerging and independent designers.

The websites feature a wide range of products from fashion to jewellery, and even homewares. Find local designers like el amuleto, das monk, barbarian hussy, elgar & lyle, including my secret agent lover man.

Even some e-window shopping would be something for the senses! Have a nice weekend! x
