Tautou

Last night I settled down for a film rental I was slightly dubious about. But who knew, french rom coms are actually funny.

Audrey Tautou is amazing ... and I have discovered she is set to play Coco Chanel in the film Coco avant Chanel, or Coco before Chanel, set for 2009.





Apparently, Karl Lagerfeld is recreating her original wardrobe for the film. Oh my.

Goooooosebumps

An editorial for french magazine Mixte, photographed by Jan Welters.

The last picture is my favourite. I am a fan of dark texture and drapery recently, because you can't define where it starts or finishes, it seems ambiguous.






Sort of a lack of fashion-related posts from me recently (Anna), because being broke and exam-pressured over Christmas has lessened my capacity for inspiration.

The real man of my dreams

Alice Cooper here (aka Vincent Furnier), engrained his former name in my mind with all his 'Aviva' advert antics. At least I discovered a brilliant photographer in the process.

YSL

The perfect street incarnation of Stefano Pilati's A/W '08 YSL woman.

Taken on day 1 of LFW in September. I'm not sure who she/they are though ...

And let love (of coffee) keep us togetheeeeerrrr

[Have you ever seen the opening credits to "Get Over It"? This song is a beaut.]

I must say that even after all my obsessive fashion gallivanting, I still do not own an LBD.

I was given a £40 River Island voucher from my brother for christmas, so I will be heading to River Island for a sale challenge.

NYE

NYE in NYC ... no wait, not that, just Thanet.

Akin to the invention of logarithms

Apparently, John Napier and Joost Burgi's independent inventions of logarithms have saved mathematicians half their lives in calculations. (Thanks maths tutor and storyteller).

I only checked around 6 or 7 blogs before I signed up to bloglovin'. And that was using the bookmarks on firefox ... I've lost count of how many I follow now ... ah back in the stone age blog-wise.
Go ahead, please follow my blog with bloglovin´.

Vincent Fournier Pt II

More Vincent Fournier. The first is recognisably taken in Cape Town, South Africa. Weirdly it captures my feelings of the centre of the city perfectly. The sky in the third picture is confusing.

Vincent Fournier Pt I

It sounds so strange but today I woke up with this guys name in my head, so I googled it. I must have heard it somewhere.

His work is very still and painterly but very real, and wonderfully humorous.

Ghost of Christmas past .... takes photos!

A collection of photos from over the "holiday period". The worst period ever.

Chictopia Q&A

Sluuummber Paaarty with the boys!

I am originally from south africa.
Only my nuclear family lives in england.
There have been NO parties or get-togethers.
I have been indoors since christmas eve.

I haven't been able to wear any of my christmas presents.

So instead I've been looking at fashion vlogs, washing my face about four times a day and revisiting my once idolised viceland.com
