clash of cooper

But we kick em to the curb unless they look like Mick Jagger

2009-11-13T15:40:00.007+08:00

Not usually into this kind of music but Tik Tok by Ke$ha is so catchy! It was originally her music video that attracted me to the song :)

She seems like more of a trashy mini version of Erin Wasson..but not in a bad way? haha

Either way I love her outfits throughout the vid, boots especially!! It pretty much looks like what you would find in my wardrobe (and when I saw wardrobe I mean on my floor/bed) so obviously I am thinking she is a bit of a cool cat ;)

[cooper @ halloween]

After getting my pirate on at halloween I have decided how much I truly love to dress like one! I think I am going to try incorporate it into my everyday style haha :) Taking inspiration from Jean Paul Gaultier Spring 2008 RTW and Pirates of the Caribbean of course.

I wish I had a masquerade ball to go to!
Particulary loving the intensity of this last mask with all the colour and feathers :)

HIATUS NO MORE!

2009-11-06T13:08:00.003+08:00

posts-a-plenty coming to you :D

You can pick another stranger, and fall in love..

There is nothing like cranking up Bloc Party on an otherwise dull Monday!

On another note...How attractive is Dree Hemingway! It is unbelievable how any model "makes it" in the industry, there are so many individual and stunning ladies!!

I actually think she pulls off the platinum blonde quite well (unlike the girls I see out on the weekend), must be those entrancing eyes!

Any ideas?

Introducing: Clash Of Cooper

2009-10-08T08:42:00.010+08:00

Two lovely bloggers gave me awards recently, and now I am finally getting around to posting them!
I probably shouldn't have left this so long because now your going to get a clash of cooper overload ;)

Thanks to Coco Cherie Vintage and Poisoned Armour !

From Coco Cherie Vintage:

Here are the rules: “The Honest Scrap” award is not one to hold all to your self but it must be shared! The recipient has to tell 10 true things about themselves in their blog that no one else knows.

1.) I really don't like conformity.

2.) Currently listening to Phoenix. They are amazing.

3.) I don't mind being by myself. Preferably at the beach.

4.) I'd rather watch a band play then hit up the latest club. I really really enjoy live music-you'll pretty much always find me front row :)

5.) I bought my own car, unlike most people I know.

6.) I don't like to stay in the same place for long.

7.) years of bad luck. I recently broke a mirror. But I don't believe in that sort of stuff-I don't even read my horoscope!

8.) I am a sucker for sweet things, wizz fizz currently is in my mouth ;) and on my keyboard :P

9.) Commitment issues; gym memberships, boys, phone plans etc, I just can't do it!

10.) This is actually really hard for me to think of what to write, and I have another award to do :

Diane Von Fursternburg always seems to end up being the show that has the hair and makeup that I immediately want to emmulate!
Sighh

[grazia]

After promising myself to buy no more black items until there is sufficient colour in my wardrobe, I have decided I should try a few styles that I have never worn. One of them being woodstock hippie!
I am going to be channelling this look using this ever so pretty hair and makeup from the show:

(haha notice how she wearing black-doesn't help my cause!)

The gorgeous Tabea Koebach with both the looks:

Peace out :)

Getting back into it

2009-10-06T09:14:00.000+08:00

I must say I was super impressed with the recent Versace show.

The prints were so eye catching and everything just looked so damn pretty and most importantly wearable!!

Here are some of my favourite shots from the catwalk:

[grazia]

P.S If anyone has tips on how to make my images bigger without them being half cut off your help would be greatly appreciated ;)

I don't believe there is an atom of meaning in it

"If I had a world of my own, everything would be nonsense. Nothing would be what it is, because everything would be what it isn't. And contrary wise, what is, it wouldn't be. And what it wouldn't be, it would. You see?" - ALICE

Firstly how amazing is this underwater picture!

Does anyone know where it came from?

Secondly, is anyone else as excited as me to see the new Alice In Wonderland coming out in 2010?! YAY! :)

I have a feeling it is going to be absolutely insane!

we'll ramble round down in my summer sheets

2009-09-30T17:20:00.005+08:00

I finally got a dose of sunshine over the weekend!

Headed straight for the beach :)

It has got me finally thinking about swimsuits for the summer.

I am definitely going to invest in a one piece and this gorgeous nautical inspired swimsuit by Jets is currently on my radar!

As for a two piece (bikini) there are waaaay too many to choose from!

And I can't decide between the many different styles; there are studs, floral, sequins, graphic prints, crochet and block colour to name a few.. not to mention the actual shapes like triangle and bandeau.

HELP! haha

Tell me the truth, is it love or just Paris?

2009-09-24T14:36:00.002+08:00

One can never get sick of Erin Wasson...

Everything about her just screams cool. The clothes, the accent, the I-so-didn't make-any-effort way she presents herself. Sighhh

Model, Muse, Stylist, Designer.
That is pretty much my ideal set of careers in that exact order :)

[all images obtained from google images, but i recognise a few to be the selby, cobraksnake and style]

Check her out with Alexander Wang (who is equally as fabulous) here:

How much do you want her apartment, she is living the dream!

Perth Fashion Festival wrapped up last week...
The stand-out parade for me was Wheels and Dollbaby. The designer Melanie Greensmith is ahhhmazing ;)

I loved everything about the collection; the glamour, the red lips, the hair and the clothes of course!

Here are some photos from the talented Stefan Gossati who was the official catwalk photographer for pff.

Sequins and Leopard print...what more could a girl ask for!

Wow it's been a week since my last post :

Apologies ;)

While I'm writing I'd just like to thank everyone for all the support I've gotten for my blog which was formed just under a month ago! I never thought I'd get such a great response and it is truly appreciated and amazing of all you fabulous people :)

So now I have everyones posts from the last week to catch up on, comment and get inspired by!

Rain rain go away :(

It is pouring down outside. And so so windy. This weather really blows (pun not intended).
Where is the springtime sunshine?
Seriously...

I want to be all tanned and have my hair that lovely colour that I enjoy.
Like these ladies :)

Back when it was summer :)
And LOL at my attempt to hide our identity ;)

[leather jacket-AGENT NINETYNINE, white tee-AA, grey hoodie-BONDS, shorts-LEE]

Yesterday I was in a bit of a creative mood :)

I spent the day doing up an old desk by covering it in pictures and quotes (all fashion and music related of course) which I now have to glaze, I also started making a feathered headdress (just because I can) and I FINALLY fixed my moccasins (the shoe repair man was going to charge me $30 for something I could do myself)! YAY
(just a heads up that moccasins don't do so well in moshpits or on skateboards if your prone to falling off)

;)

I shall put up pictures of all my finished creations when they are complete!

In the meantime here are some lovely pictures of Kate Moss and Rosie Huntington-Whiteley which inspired me to fix my boots in the first place!

And now you want to kiss me coz I look so good

2009-09-05T13:04:00.004+08:00

Wowwww. Alexis Bledel has grown up so much!
She was always quite pretty but I never took much notice because she seemed so shy, but now she is unbelievably GORGEOUS :) Great taste in clothes and prettier then ever, keep an eye on her!

Watch her interview with another gorgeous lady Alexa Chung here:

On Yer Bike

2009-09-02T20:18:00.007+08:00

Why I Am Not On A Bicycle Amongst These Images:

1. The Helmet Issue. How come they don’t have to wear helmets? It is illegal in my fine country (Australia) to ride without one, which sucks because I would look so much better with my hair flowing out behind me ;)

2. Riding in dress/heels/sandals usually doesn’t work. There are many reasons for this, such as (a) flashing everyone (b) something getting caught somewhere resulting in you and the ground getting to know each other a whole lot better

3. Pink bikes that have streamers coming out of them are actually pretty hard to find (unless of course you happen to be 8 years old). I would settle on silver but old school looking bicycles cost way more then the usual type

4. Speaking of the usual type… These types of bicycles would probably fail if they were ever used for actual exercise! I think they are actually made to ride around town in your Sunday-best ready for the paparazzi

5. Finally, I think I have a phobia of bicycles after one too many rides gone wrong… This could be because I usually try to dismount it before it has fully stopped, resulting in me doing a manoeuvre that looks oddly similar to a commando roll.

Thankyou for listening :)

I am currently reading the most fabulous book on style :) :) :)

The Little Black Book of Style, written by Nina Garcia is a book I would highly recommend to anyone interested in not just fashion but style.
As Coco Chanel famously said, "Fashion fades, style is eternal."

The Little Black Book of Style is a straight to the point, informative piece of writing with contributions from many important and influential people within the fashion industry, including two of my current favourite designers; John Galliano and Diane von Furstenberg, as well as Australian model Elle Macpherson.
The book is filled with many beautiful illustrations by Ruben Toledo, and also has inspiring quotes relating to each specific topic that the author discusses.

Seriously ladies/lads get your hands on this if you haven't done so already!

Art In Algebra cd launch:
Awesome vibe, great set, rocking performance.

I was really hoping that the photographer from the night would have put up shots by now so I could post them. But considering it has been a week I will make do with the only dodgy quality ones that I obtained ;)

my outfit for the night

The stage got inavded halfway through the last song

My copy signed by the band

rip tutu

2009-08-27T11:20:00.003+08:00

I searched everywhere for my tutu skirt the other night only to realise it had been left at a house party in balmain (don't ask)...
I cant see me getting it back anytime in the near-distant future which makes the image of this stylish lass even more painful :(

Bodies hit the floor

2009-08-21T17:06:00.004+08:00

Agyness Deyn has always had such an effortlessly cool and quirky style.
After looking through a ton of pictures of her I've decided that tonight when I go to the Art In Algebra cd launch I will be channelling Aggy!

So expect an outfit post (my first one!) to follow over the next few days...

[StockholmStreetStyle]

As a lover of all things animal print, seeing this coat promptly made me go slightly insane.
I knew right then and there I had to have that coat!
In a frenzy I translated Swedish to English to try discover where it was from determined that I would somehow get my hands on it...
Only to find out that it had been hand-made (knitted) by her aunt! booo :(

I am currently knitting myself a scarf and it has only taken a thousand years so far, so I reckon I could possibly knit a similar coat by say.. the year 5278?

I'll let you know how it goes ;)

We built this city!

2009-08-20T11:20:00.007+08:00

Didn't her mother ever tell her not to play with her food?
Nonetheless this scale model of San fransisco made entirely out of jelly (or jell-o, depending where your from) is a truly eye-catching piece of art!
I am absolutely in love with all the colours and the detail she has gone into :)

It kind of makes me want to dye my hair platinum blonde...
But perhaps not such a good idea after my last attempt haha.

Inspiration can come in many forms...
My creativity is influenced on a daily basis by People, Fashion, Music, Photography and Art.

I have created this blog to be an online scrapbook of inspiration.
I hope you enjoy it.
