You Could Be My Black Kate Moss Tonight

♥ Gladiator dress: Kate Moss for Topshop

♥ Patent purse: Mulberry for Target

♥ Black heels: H&M

The prerequisite hubadera (the Anna Canlas school of thought) haunt in my closet. A leather bib (the irony!) and gold grommetted strap keep this black shammy of a jersey dress from just falling off of me, requiring me to censor my carnal treasures with blurs or stars.

Went to the Topshop reopening and wanted to win a P10k shopping spree for being best dressed but what was I thinking? I was best undressed. Whatever. I got a wool hat and walked away. Haha anyway, anyone out there know legit remedies for motorcycle burns/scars?

I Say Yes When I Oughta Say No

♥ Floral & mesh swimsuit: Citano

♥ Black coated jean shorts: Next

♥ Patent purse: Mulberry for Target

♥ Leather ballet flats: Topshop

♥ Gold wing earrings: gifted by my lovely friend, Tin

Don't ask me why I squeezed myself into a bathing suit made for 8-year-olds. Or why Atlanta de Cadenet, Cory Kennedy and Tallulah Morton are life pegs. Or why Ira is my favourite cousin. Or why we're so invested in film photography. 

Things just are!

Do You Like Green Eggs & Ham?

♥ Belt: Moschino
♥ Leather gladiators: Schu

♥ Vintage aviators: Ray-Ban

The days sandwiched between leaving university and working at fashion week were spent comatosed at Chatime, overdosed on milk tea, with Sam Lee.

This is Sam. She is a filmmaker (and fellow film enthusiast, in case you can't tell by the grain in our photos) currently seeking employment. Haha! But really, you should czech out her work. Agos is her documentary on surfing and she won best thesis for it. Art. Here's a video she made of our graduation.

Save a life. Hire a hipster today. HAHA
