I don’t think the US has a comparable month to Australia’s December party season. There are two things at play in Sydney during this time of the year:<span style="font-weight:bold;"> 1.</span> the start of summer: sunshine, beach and boats <span style="font-weight:bold;">2.</span> the lead up to Christmas and New Years. Between wanting to spend every minute with your friends and boyfriend at the beach or dining alfresco and then the various invitations to work functions and miscellaneous parties (<span style="font-style:italic;">is this one a farewell? A birthday??</span>) let’s just say it is….well silly is one word to describe it. <br /><br />Summer in New York does kick of with enthusiasm, and you can’t pinpoint a certain month where things just go off. Yes, of course, we are coming out of hibernation and the first day the tights come off and the hemlines get shorter is cause for celebration. Here, while people have been enjoying summer-like weather well before December, suddenly when the month belonging to Christmas and New Years Eve begins the calendar becomes jam-packed with events requiring cute outfits and copious alcohol consumption. And it becomes impossible to get a cab.<br /><br />The lead up to Chistmas in the States has a fair share of parties and catching up with friends & family, and certainly a lot of wine-drinking, but it isn’t with the same intensity as Australia’s December madness. I suppose here Chrissie takes on a role more easily equated with the 4th of July: cold beer under a hot sun, hotdogs (or <span style="font-style:italic;">snags</span> if you’re Aussie) and even fireworks. It is almost like a 4th of July that lasts for a month…and involves highheels a lot of the time.<br /><br />So here I am on December 4th, haven’t spent one night this week at home eating healthy home-cooked food watching TV with my laptop in hand, but instead had reason to polish up and go out Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and tonight (Friday- <span style="font-style:italic;">office xmas party</span>..) much to the dismay of my wardrobe and liver…and wallet. Let’s pray that those three valuable entities can make it 19 days til I board my flight and head off to my proper cold and cosy Christmas in DC. <br /><br />(Anja Rubik by Ben Hassett)Annahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16629698454725064610noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6643645885081683595.post-79441240711960132842009-11-30T02:56:00.000-08:002009-11-30T03:01:48.400-08:00El MeneaitoBack in the early 90s while I was listening to Beastie Boys and Smashing Pumpkins, Mario was dancing along to this!

Back then they were called "baby tees", and they were basically t-shirts worn a few sizes too small, usually paired with oversized jeans. I remember being particularly fond of a teensy-tiny Roxy tee, which I would wear with my brother's baggy pants.<br /><br />The midriff came back again a few years later. The summer I was 14 I actually had a tan line around my lower stomach from walking around in tiny singlets (embarrassing, I know!). My mother would roll her eyes muttering, "Where is the rest of your top?"<br /><br />I started thinking about the midriff again last year watching 90210 reruns with my flatmate. We both confessed to digging the 90s LA style, stonewashed jeans and crop tops with touches of neon. Ok, it wasn't exactly <span style="font-style:italic;">chic</span>, but if reinterpreted correctly (which we tired to do) there was potential.<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhd_RuSB9Syp8V5B53iVVZUyfegQvLz4WHjawuXfmzbpCAOq8AxW_COCYMhvcUspfoOCFgAbMT1ppWfdPbyTnoG3JydXbOAt9KIpghrj2ngmDUwinWmwbw7qqjRMBy_4QNzwKiPanMC_g2-/s1600-h/midriffbad.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 312px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhd_RuSB9Syp8V5B53iVVZUyfegQvLz4WHjawuXfmzbpCAOq8AxW_COCYMhvcUspfoOCFgAbMT1ppWfdPbyTnoG3JydXbOAt9KIpghrj2ngmDUwinWmwbw7qqjRMBy_4QNzwKiPanMC_g2-/s400/midriffbad.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5389657234539740354" /></a><br /><br />Now many years after the terrible attempts of Britney and more-than-slightly awkward attempts by Donna Martin, the stomach wants some exposure once again. From the runways to young Hollywood, over the last few months there has been a noticeable rise in crop tops. However, the crop has moved from the bellow button and below of the late nineties and Britney Spears era to above the bellow button all together. The new midriff is the high midriff.<br /><br />Anyway, I never thought I'd actually see this trend again, but I think it has finally found a way to look fashionable rather than tacky. By pairing a crop top with a high-waisted pant or skirt (like Daisy Lowe and Rihanna above), the hint of skin (emphasis on the hint!) is actually flirty and fun. During spring fashion week last year this trend was all over the runway- Prada even found a way to make it look classy.<br /><br />It will be interesting to see if the current spring fashion weeks will continue to reveal hints of stomach as well, or if maybe this trend is having a moment that will be short-lived. In my opinion, it is all about confidence and rocking a look like you own it, so I say if you want to flash some tummy skin, go for it!Annahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16629698454725064610noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6643645885081683595.post-80710066552307434082009-09-13T18:04:00.000-07:002009-09-13T18:10:56.623-07:00Alexander Wang s/s 2010<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjbpMqxTt2gjPkDZl_Mig-aA5wA-MmqUG8eowTDo3x2kKvkB4qkXeNP5naoqqwX_LLj42sMpOQ98Todx4D7-bEsmjrJ62YCNtPrC7PSxaXgu0QYyDdgXJFMYzAffm5SYq15ZRHaZhLePTmh/s1600-h/wang.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 201px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjbpMqxTt2gjPkDZl_Mig-aA5wA-MmqUG8eowTDo3x2kKvkB4qkXeNP5naoqqwX_LLj42sMpOQ98Todx4D7-bEsmjrJ62YCNtPrC7PSxaXgu0QYyDdgXJFMYzAffm5SYq15ZRHaZhLePTmh/s400/wang.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5381124071063348226" /></a>I was anticipating what Alexander Wang would do this season, and was pleasantly surprised to see that he kept things fresh with his sportswear-themed spring 2010 collection. The collection worked in nouveau-preppy pieces in khaki and dark red football stripes (a nice departure from the nautical stripes that have been ubiquitous as of late). The knee socks throughout maintained the school days vibe. There were also plenty of the Wang we are used to, with quite a bit of black with accentuated shoulders, sheer detailing and cheeky cutouts. Nothing jumped out at me as the to-die-for dress of the season, but I definitely like the American varsity vibe with the sexy urban accents. <a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjdN6-XDboZvZ4iABVr-3f8_5-1-Evb3aYpB0jrwxLw3y9j29CNEjK-Q2Ly1DYc-Cx10iyAlymGsJSKfwU9dfRTY655PnkjjaC2hfH0upIX24QLNu-i_1ML36EfNHe3bE6JfQgvRuqglt2y/s1600-h/00390m.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 214px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjdN6-XDboZvZ4iABVr-3f8_5-1-Evb3aYpB0jrwxLw3y9j29CNEjK-Q2Ly1DYc-Cx10iyAlymGsJSKfwU9dfRTY655PnkjjaC2hfH0upIX24QLNu-i_1ML36EfNHe3bE6JfQgvRuqglt2y/s320/00390m.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5381123005309057186" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjGzUGzf89ZE_AJMQnvq1fpGPGLY0Az1ukMKIuF_b-UtkCZb4hyphenhyphen3xq_3goWXKcD_j857plqFohvlTaTt0y-30UEUvDzFEKLua3QsFS7CIDEX9fnpVO7fzq1pK2bpF9Urj2gbqgPYSkq9klH/s1600-h/00130m.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 214px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjGzUGzf89ZE_AJMQnvq1fpGPGLY0Az1ukMKIuF_b-UtkCZb4hyphenhyphen3xq_3goWXKcD_j857plqFohvlTaTt0y-30UEUvDzFEKLua3QsFS7CIDEX9fnpVO7fzq1pK2bpF9Urj2gbqgPYSkq9klH/s320/00130m.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5381122945336483186" /></a>Annahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16629698454725064610noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6643645885081683595.post-3918537933550294442009-09-08T19:02:00.000-07:002009-09-08T19:12:11.894-07:00Saturday with my boyfriend<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiMsKQC_1KNcFqHRkyDgt4jipqeAQnUtKrMHk5Mjjbxja4-Y17PzirSWDt7SYcZnMQ4c6Zyn870T3KtRULsJMZZ7ziDk6qwTQib5R5sVWvTplymBS-zT9Z604oYMwzUD6nr32U8dYJklRVR/s1600-h/24xorki.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 209px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiMsKQC_1KNcFqHRkyDgt4jipqeAQnUtKrMHk5Mjjbxja4-Y17PzirSWDt7SYcZnMQ4c6Zyn870T3KtRULsJMZZ7ziDk6qwTQib5R5sVWvTplymBS-zT9Z604oYMwzUD6nr32U8dYJklRVR/s320/24xorki.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5379282512777588914" /></a>Ha! Love it... Kate Moss, the ultimate hedonist, spends the day with her rockstar boyfriend following her around carrying one of the oversized Prada bags from a casual purchase, no biggie. The thing about Kate is that she appears live a life consisting entirely of rock 'n roll, jetsetting to Ibiza and sartorial eliteness, but somehow manages to squeeze in time to do her never ending ad campaigns, editorials and Topshop collections. Oh and she's a mother!

Believe me it took a long time to be sold on the actress. She used to actually irritate me, and I guess I just wasn't into the boho thing and didn't really know what all the fuss surrounding her was about. As for her mentions in weeklies, I never paid much attention.<br /><br />When my boyfriend saw <span style="font-style:italic;">Alfie</span> he proclaimed Sienna to be "the best" (I'm sitting right here, honey!), and I scoffed at him, but I think jealousy was just keeping me from seeing what he saw. What finally convinced me wasn't the side of her revealed in <span style="font-style:italic;">Alfie</span> (for those who have seen it I'm referring to the topless kitchen scene) but rather her style, which I think has reached a new level in the last few weeks. Sienna has been hoping around country-to-country promoting G.I. Joe: The Rise of the Cobra and has wowed me day after day with her effortless Kain tees, Chloe and Isabel Marant booties and adorable patterned frocks.<br /><br />Now she has settled into New York for longer than a minute as she prepares for her Broadway appearance in the play "After Miss Julie.” The blonde beauty has been snapped on the streets nearly every day looking urban chic from head to toe.<br /><br />At the New York premiere of <span style="font-style:italic;">The September Issue</span>, Sienna opted for a super short and sassy light blue Thakoon dress, which she paired with chandelier earrings, a Bottega Veneta clutch and metallic Jimmy Choos. While usually I get irritated when people wear sunnies at night, I thought her signature retro shades added an offbeat touch to the look. And hey, if I had hundreds of flash bulbs in my face I might use the same remedy.<br /><br />She bared those enviable legs again the other day in a Twenty8Twelve skirt, nautical tank and Rupert Sanderson brogues. The finishing touch was the Prada Saffiano and Tessuto Tote, which she has been carrying around NYC as she dashes between appointments. I'm totally going to be picturing this look when heading out shopping on a sunny Saturday in spring (note to self: splurge on the cute, white brogues I've been eyeing).<br /><br />I think it is safe to say that Sienna is back (although I'm not sure she ever left), and while I like her for different reasons than my boyfriend, she has a place on my list of girl crushes.Annahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16629698454725064610noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6643645885081683595.post-65161056474313618312009-09-02T17:35:00.000-07:002009-09-02T17:47:01.703-07:00Time to cosi up<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh6XEHiEZYXYyL1r8nTdXXQZYVKWJTK8V7ovD6t_39TJUOd5s1-t3N9Mu8cUAQTUJhhmD5nJmYI7qJ667I9H5_vwU9U46erJLNwK2lwtzX2m863BpgeHcEnXpP2SNVsVchD3WPhrXpNC75X/s1600-h/AnnaBoy.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 233px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh6XEHiEZYXYyL1r8nTdXXQZYVKWJTK8V7ovD6t_39TJUOd5s1-t3N9Mu8cUAQTUJhhmD5nJmYI7qJ667I9H5_vwU9U46erJLNwK2lwtzX2m863BpgeHcEnXpP2SNVsVchD3WPhrXpNC75X/s320/AnnaBoy.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5377033616274175970" /></a><br />My boyfriend and I finally booked the overdue holiday we've been discussing for the last six months. We were only able to squeeze in a long weekend, so we decided to stay domestic and head up to Palm Cove. I'm already picturing: me reading fashion mags on the sand wearing a giant sunhat, me lounging by the pool taking the occasional sip of a strawberry daiquiri...you get the idea. This brings me to the very important question: <span style="font-style:italic;">what cosi will I be wearing?</span><br /><br />It's not like I don't have a box full of them in my room. But the first holiday with my man in over a year AND the fact that yesterday marked the first day of spring means that it is my duty to go out and buy new swimmers, which I will take on my holiday and then rock all summer.<br /><br />I'm sure you've seen the posters of Jessica Hart for <a href="http://www.seafolly.com/">Seafolly</a> all around Sydney recently. There are quite a few cute pieces. I'm especially interested in the nautical striped two-piece, as this season it seems I can't get enough of that trend. Seafolly also just launched a limited edition summer collection (Alyssa Suterland is the face, see below) with some really great looks. This flirty one-piece with the ruffle highlights is retro and fun. (Aquarius Carnivale Maillot; $289.95; 1300 130 715).<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjoBQwGXBeE0BPgOPp5wlug_eTIrMDwkOsvoQNM0E-5VxBcKh8Xrj-XE3g8x-0ScemPZi8jf3f9mhxQWPzdMQ3TVJFeT_Ds_IykFNOloBA65KOeuKNnzbH7IRJ3ByQKODbhIS4js0VFv4Ht/s1600-h/2aqarius.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 233px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjoBQwGXBeE0BPgOPp5wlug_eTIrMDwkOsvoQNM0E-5VxBcKh8Xrj-XE3g8x-0ScemPZi8jf3f9mhxQWPzdMQ3TVJFeT_Ds_IykFNOloBA65KOeuKNnzbH7IRJ3ByQKODbhIS4js0VFv4Ht/s320/2aqarius.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5377034124341542706" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://www.seventhwonderland.com/">Seventh Wonderland'</a>s high quality swimsuits are also tempting.

Anna Hewett and Lill Boyd took all their fashion savvy and created a label full of signature prints in gorgeous fabrics. When looking to stay fashionable on the sand, Anna & Boy is a go-to. (The first pic in the post is Anna & Boy Jude Honeymoon tie halter; $220; (02) 9211 8511).<br /><br />The mere thought of swimsuit season brings up other questions too. I can't help put imagine Miranda Kerr's body and my face whenever I picture myself in different cosi options, but when I look in the mirror I see reality, not Miranda. It has been a long winter with lots of cozy meals and movies on the couch. Though I have tried to be consistent with Pilates, my visits to the gym have been few and far between. Once we decided on the holiday I thought to myself, <span style="font-style:italic;">that's it- I'm doing the gym three days a week and eating healthier</span>! Don't get me wrong- I am lucky enough to be blessed with a good metabolism, which is great because I have a love of all things food. I just want to cut back on the arvo cakes and the double serves of pasta dinners. I'll illustrate my dedication: decided against the gym last night and instead picked up some spaghetti and meatballs and <a href="http://www.fratellifresh.com.au/default.asp">Fratelli Fresh</a> and ate it at home watching America's Next Top Model. Oh well, you can't have it all! I'll get my cardio in this weekend...when I walk from David Jones to Paddington and then maybe even on to Bondi in search of my perfect new cosi.Annahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16629698454725064610noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6643645885081683595.post-2033166048941933672009-09-01T05:23:00.001-07:002009-09-01T05:27:51.855-07:00OMFG<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjzAdG-InGid3lCBYVGlDr8DCIsk0AAF8qdnlRkUhi2rnsj2nXjGNzvnE7I1qLJt6l3iUQ8SPDHjCyApgNj50u5yk-uQeVFzvC-_Uvk4nTZu-6X6IVaIgDDPTK_WB5vYSv25K7IW_Vy6ajU/s1600-h/christianlouboutin.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 198px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjzAdG-InGid3lCBYVGlDr8DCIsk0AAF8qdnlRkUhi2rnsj2nXjGNzvnE7I1qLJt6l3iUQ8SPDHjCyApgNj50u5yk-uQeVFzvC-_Uvk4nTZu-6X6IVaIgDDPTK_WB5vYSv25K7IW_Vy6ajU/s320/christianlouboutin.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5376473651398298066" /></a>Behold the Christian Louboutin "Rollerball" studded flats.

I was approached a few months ago to be the acting Online Content Producer (Web Editor) for <span style="font-style:italic;">InStyle</span> Australia’s website: <a href="http://www.instylemag.com.au">instylemag.com.au.</a> I’ve loved doing it, but all my ideas and time have been going toward that, so I haven’t been maintaing this blog. I’ve even been blogging for the <span style="font-style:italic;">InStyle</span> site (you can check out the Blog secion on the homepage).<br /><br />However, I am going to start up Grande Bouche again, so check in for updates! Knowing me I’ll continue posting pics of stunning models, amazing clothes and adorable animals. Not saving lives, just some light-hearted musings. The seasons are changing, and I’ve been inspired as I am starting to spend more time outside- definitely awakening the senses! And bringing out an overload of freckles (see above).<br /><br />xoxo<br /><br />Grande BoucheAnnahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16629698454725064610noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6643645885081683595.post-46957570694526934032009-08-30T03:35:00.000-07:002009-08-30T03:55:24.992-07:00Gearing up for summer...The weather is changing, and I've been spending more and more time outside. These recent editorials (mostly from September issues) channel the carefree, lazy, flirty feeling summer gives me.

It struck me as sort of Boy George meets Don't Tell Mom the Babysitters Dead with a few contemporary pieces thrown in. The models were styled to resemble trannies (or maybe mannequins?), and each had different hairstyles ranging from mohawks to Flock of Seagulls. Confused yet? The show started off simple with grey knits (I like the sweater with cutouts on the shoulder), silk neck scarves, metallic leathers, and some dark burgundy and silver hues. Then it entered some sort of nostalgic zone full of bright pinks, greens, and yellows, overstated shoulders, and a-line hems that channeled vintage Christina Applegate, only with more high-end fabrics. Throw in a few 80s prom dresses and you may be starting to get the picture of this energetic collection. While some of it seemed like a total joke, at least the show had elements of surprise, and there were definitely a few looks that could strengthen any fall/winter wardrobe.<br />Totally wearable:<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj0hru9Pshw4WA9iPHhmkieAZGZ0s6jqFnc9XOzU3ohoykpuBhctM50PJNELGszcrpkCgaW_db4dNW05DcZP2fukK6bmvFdRGmhwOYXzfQ18zHCT69KBGBHIl_VGqQwkE7772ToQYiV2x-f/s1600-h/3.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 214px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj0hru9Pshw4WA9iPHhmkieAZGZ0s6jqFnc9XOzU3ohoykpuBhctM50PJNELGszcrpkCgaW_db4dNW05DcZP2fukK6bmvFdRGmhwOYXzfQ18zHCT69KBGBHIl_VGqQwkE7772ToQYiV2x-f/s320/3.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5303994396926629762" /></a><br />Revisiting the 80s, but in a good way?<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjEFb3yIDjcRmpW2si8UntPY0V28d6dx1Kox-Fmh-PT84DmgaiPTQezlsXsicZoXQPMqxlc1oW2V4P2qJH8NvjM29pzzX3hOpPoFkDAPWwQPQwq3jmB2ONelu_F70-3Zqw4MTLIhPX3VwN7/s1600-h/third.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 305px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjEFb3yIDjcRmpW2si8UntPY0V28d6dx1Kox-Fmh-PT84DmgaiPTQezlsXsicZoXQPMqxlc1oW2V4P2qJH8NvjM29pzzX3hOpPoFkDAPWwQPQwq3jmB2ONelu_F70-3Zqw4MTLIhPX3VwN7/s400/third.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5303994521285507698" /></a><br />The cute print saves this 80s prom dress:<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEik-jLov19QIAt1VIJQnhZ_Ekh9Xh6yGUek8wWQaRuhB4DTKHdGufggbb-V8X3u4A7zVxJ5mhT8J0jqBJCKw6NKTpLCeRa9g81b_Y6X8CbVtbFUArj-AyTg_Y9IjHNGdc3-5YdK_skZ76_l/s1600-h/6.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 214px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEik-jLov19QIAt1VIJQnhZ_Ekh9Xh6yGUek8wWQaRuhB4DTKHdGufggbb-V8X3u4A7zVxJ5mhT8J0jqBJCKw6NKTpLCeRa9g81b_Y6X8CbVtbFUArj-AyTg_Y9IjHNGdc3-5YdK_skZ76_l/s320/6.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5303994639712052466" /></a>Annahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16629698454725064610noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6643645885081683595.post-80242178085703850792009-02-17T19:35:00.000-08:002009-02-26T22:11:38.386-08:00Latest from Alexander Wang<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhm1SELiPT5wZ0bz_DpldIW0xxVnrKozDk_MtfY2D-9xQDogV29VDgkPQ_5huflkWxBZ6MZ0IZLdtPVE_TXskg2Z-jvvLK5ot21RKjrDIaUy2Uwd8whgeJVdxnIO9g1ig5oNQ9tAmjyiRJu/s1600-h/first.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 307px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhm1SELiPT5wZ0bz_DpldIW0xxVnrKozDk_MtfY2D-9xQDogV29VDgkPQ_5huflkWxBZ6MZ0IZLdtPVE_TXskg2Z-jvvLK5ot21RKjrDIaUy2Uwd8whgeJVdxnIO9g1ig5oNQ9tAmjyiRJu/s400/first.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5303990445049750658" /></a>Alexander Wang delivered a predominantly black (nothing wrong with that) fall 2009 collection full of body-conscious rock-chic dresses and staple leggings/skinny pants of varying lengths, including the infamous "biker short" above the knee cut. Now, I know some cool kids have been rocking the "biker shorts" cut for the last few months, but I take my lead from Wang and am only now considering taking the plunge. Back in middle school they were a staple of wardrobe, though usually worn in colors like purple and blue and almost certainly paired with an oversized tee or stripped dress-shirt (think Hannah Anderson catalogue!). Wang gives the style different textures and pairs them with tailored jackets and hardcore boots, creating an edgy but polished look. He continued to play with the skinny black pants, bringing some just below the knee. When leggings first became trendy again a few years ago this was the favored length, and then they got longer and below the knee looked like more of a gym look. Wang gives them a high waist and and adds a belt and simple blouse, and the look works. I also loved the cut-out leggings- I think we can expect to see a lot of cut outs this year. Of course the asymmetrical LBDs were winners too. With everyone from Balmain to Lanvin including a take on them throughout the past few seasons, this look seems to be no fail. I could seriously rock the style every weekend switching it up with ankle boots, statement heels, and cropped jackets. All in all the collection delivered the stylish grunge and glam that I expected from Wang. There was definitely an emphasis on minimalism, and the the economy (hate to bring it up but cant help it) almost certainly has something to do with that. Next up I'm really looking forward to seeing what Balmain puts down the runways...<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgM4S2OGbQn4icn03feZ0Wth-lAXYIerBwVXgh8jLQ6VS1inKxiIhGZei09pEBZWC8EGEV4dcSgbtm-i4Yo9k5B5ZPfcTl1h9cj_200H_5RvDGyuvgP2VZMdwGhSHsvHlSkmr57UBkk7xyQ/s1600-h/second.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgM4S2OGbQn4icn03feZ0Wth-lAXYIerBwVXgh8jLQ6VS1inKxiIhGZei09pEBZWC8EGEV4dcSgbtm-i4Yo9k5B5ZPfcTl1h9cj_200H_5RvDGyuvgP2VZMdwGhSHsvHlSkmr57UBkk7xyQ/s400/second.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5303990539477713346" /></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhY-UB7xkX2igoGVnx0bD63Aa6Yb8F7rMTDReYM9TMIdmqpeOsh-oIAJzBiWOu9vlpyLEI_FNLJUK21bgBh5mz333bIOe8k7HjWPn0Lrt0EhcPOyEcSyVgpHhxwtqUYY7CpKjnS8LrjdmhZ/s1600-h/5.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 214px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhY-UB7xkX2igoGVnx0bD63Aa6Yb8F7rMTDReYM9TMIdmqpeOsh-oIAJzBiWOu9vlpyLEI_FNLJUK21bgBh5mz333bIOe8k7HjWPn0Lrt0EhcPOyEcSyVgpHhxwtqUYY7CpKjnS8LrjdmhZ/s320/5.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5303980712969232866" /></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiug8AUOAP8tS59wKNrSFQkJxho5FQ19IVcIyJA-hbsS09MBqq48mrHoLtM9vi4j-drVb9P-zAWjg5eT_8Q1zAV55zldNQheSAqYvj1YjaGZf0Kk0O5bX7VtEa9NYwwGcaMzJLG_RrSzEWk/s1600-h/4.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 214px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiug8AUOAP8tS59wKNrSFQkJxho5FQ19IVcIyJA-hbsS09MBqq48mrHoLtM9vi4j-drVb9P-zAWjg5eT_8Q1zAV55zldNQheSAqYvj1YjaGZf0Kk0O5bX7VtEa9NYwwGcaMzJLG_RrSzEWk/s320/4.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5303980823631848466" /></a>Annahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16629698454725064610noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6643645885081683595.post-26403116696714980792009-02-17T03:33:00.000-08:002009-03-02T13:37:52.758-08:00Australia's Hottest Tradie<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjfTRU0NH80MCSq5jxxipXTdPJ72rEmcN5K6jI8mMEnWUEWthYy-4B9k3jB1OC433XH47nDYnNynFkbnh9w0w3HaZ3T0HzSTlED3UZUWNw3SqpX0Ruqn5fkw3c1p5fr9kQbctJanMbjrgee/s1600-h/22483.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 214px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjfTRU0NH80MCSq5jxxipXTdPJ72rEmcN5K6jI8mMEnWUEWthYy-4B9k3jB1OC433XH47nDYnNynFkbnh9w0w3HaZ3T0HzSTlED3UZUWNw3SqpX0Ruqn5fkw3c1p5fr9kQbctJanMbjrgee/s320/22483.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5303729803207272866" /></a><br />Until I moved to Sydney I had never heard the term “tradie.” Australians affectionately use it to refer to guys in trade/blue collar professions, such as carpenters, electricians, and plumbers. Apparently these men are a hot commodity when it comes to boyfriend material, as women in Sydney overwhelmingly prefer them to their white-collar counterparts. In fact, 94% of local, single women surveyed said that they were extremely interested in dating a tradie. These women are tired of high maintenance investment bankers and lawyers (etc), and instead want to love of a down-to-earth man’s man. Tradies are considered more loyal, more traditional, and more family oriented, not to mention they can fix things around the house and look smokin’ without a shirt. I think this phenomenon could partly be attributed to the whole “tall poppy” notion, as Australians pride themselves on turning their nose up at elitism. While in the States I think there is more separation between blue and white-collar, here everybody looks at each other the same when work is over and the pubs are bumping. Anyway, this craze has gotten so extreme that Australia’s RSVP.com (a networking site for finding love) has a section devoted just to finding single tradies to date. The website recently went the extra mile and ran a competition to find Australia’s Hottest Tradie, and <a href="http://www.rsvp.com.au/communities/Australia's+Hottest+Tradie/Australia's+Hottest+Tradie/461.jsp">the results are apparently in</a>. I would call the whole thing pretty exploitative, but those dudes look really into the photo shoots! Anyway, in this economic climate these are the guys with the stable jobs, so they have more of a reason to smile than most bankers... <a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi649eGhc1Cb8JmNdq5nSfbJuFfSO9Mun_9NMEhsChQFgtEAig4ugIIGd2tVYONH9zSjgWQP53G8NbJIEiCUP8mokkzEPCR1xwiXu8MLPl8tYsn1_dnCmbJ6bfqN287VI959X6hVix3IYEZ/s1600-h/-1630425556_2094233_0_1_0.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi649eGhc1Cb8JmNdq5nSfbJuFfSO9Mun_9NMEhsChQFgtEAig4ugIIGd2tVYONH9zSjgWQP53G8NbJIEiCUP8mokkzEPCR1xwiXu8MLPl8tYsn1_dnCmbJ6bfqN287VI959X6hVix3IYEZ/s320/-1630425556_2094233_0_1_0.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5303729901848762530" /></a>Annahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16629698454725064610noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6643645885081683595.post-66074236522462569162009-02-17T02:27:00.000-08:002009-02-17T02:29:40.104-08:00Delayed reaction: 2threads Awards<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEif5QgSyM_C-ZpwAzJgwlNgtY7i4q5z0ewWTdKL4RW8U5CIOtl1LxqvkcGXu65g9HSPNUO98ecSUivuUHu8sk8cSIzugE7N0nMsGnbM97daNthQycslFa8Gk2bmNMYEqNt1rnXSPGp5Yf3d/s1600-h/me.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 194px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEif5QgSyM_C-ZpwAzJgwlNgtY7i4q5z0ewWTdKL4RW8U5CIOtl1LxqvkcGXu65g9HSPNUO98ecSUivuUHu8sk8cSIzugE7N0nMsGnbM97daNthQycslFa8Gk2bmNMYEqNt1rnXSPGp5Yf3d/s320/me.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5303711077434222498" /></a><a href="http://au.youtube.com/watch?v=avfYtzJLfqo">Click here </a>to check out me presenting at the 2threads fashion awards from about two months ago.Annahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16629698454725064610noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6643645885081683595.post-88930932466438804752009-02-16T19:11:00.000-08:002009-02-17T02:21:07.468-08:00Reverse psychology?<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgOK1hepNf2qRuwgsFVKhAaUS9t6Cg8kCxOEyWe0UKykC3ajhe8NMfXNucfwI8RqCvSUyN9gbL0_krnd6cwtV6N2BEvCZORNaxGzPi_LYLFjJWzzofBmEINJ0MV5irtsE36HpNG5qu7IE2P/s1600-h/catnmouse.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 224px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgOK1hepNf2qRuwgsFVKhAaUS9t6Cg8kCxOEyWe0UKykC3ajhe8NMfXNucfwI8RqCvSUyN9gbL0_krnd6cwtV6N2BEvCZORNaxGzPi_LYLFjJWzzofBmEINJ0MV5irtsE36HpNG5qu7IE2P/s320/catnmouse.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5303598738512751810" /></a>Some of you thought yesterday's video post was a bit insensitive, so here is a more light-hearted web video for those needing some uplifting. <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7ikm3o5hDks">Click here</a> to watch.Annahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16629698454725064610noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6643645885081683595.post-47834184835659544892009-02-16T05:57:00.000-08:002009-02-16T06:03:08.139-08:00Amazing hissyfit<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgieyJvEVtUZyKr_WAKx3Hk4M9g7XMAut9dPmALwUaS35oQ9cGR-JzliyjXpZ5U0l7D_sEdTHM0CYJ2tXdcdN_vVveFw0oYx6iHd0fwIaKnYG2CzHLS4j-n3v6Z7rPxbQ0sKEQ_xkDb78tu/s1600-h/hissyfit.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 230px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgieyJvEVtUZyKr_WAKx3Hk4M9g7XMAut9dPmALwUaS35oQ9cGR-JzliyjXpZ5U0l7D_sEdTHM0CYJ2tXdcdN_vVveFw0oYx6iHd0fwIaKnYG2CzHLS4j-n3v6Z7rPxbQ0sKEQ_xkDb78tu/s320/hissyfit.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5303395467759038770" /></a><br />This camera-phone video of a woman losing the plot after missing her flight in Hong Kong is hilarious! <a href="http://www.smh.com.au/news/technology/web/hissy-fit-is-youtube-hit/2009/02/15/1234632651548.html">Click here</a> to watch!Annahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16629698454725064610noreply@blogger.com1
