Tallulah Morton X Harper's Bazaar Australia

This is the editorial from Harper's Bazaar Australia's September 2010 issue featuring loads of embellishments, trinkets and details... oh my! I actually thought Tallulah was Karlie Kloss for a second! The shoot is gorgeous either way and I love the contrast between the soft beach and hardwear as well as sparkly jewel tones with leather. Love!







Song of the day: Velvet Code - Say You Love Me (Designer Drugs Remix)

Demaciado

I'm confused, but I like the shoes. I think. Well, they're sparkly and super high so that's good enough for me! The hair, however, no bueno. Super fugs, not my thang. The dress is creative to say the least - Giorgio Armani Prive gown is space-age-gallactic-chic, or that's what I've decided to call it. For some reason, though, it seems like her bedazzled nude body suit goes all the way over her head, so the yellow hair is a wig? Does anyone else see the weird hairline? Maybe I'm wrong... I also think holding that gigantor star is too much, but then again, Gaga is too much by definition.

Lila Horn OK Please

The next few posts will be about Lila Horn, a brand that creates clothing, trinkets, scarves, jewelry and many other beautiful accessories from the craftsmanship of local artisans in developing countries.

"At Lila Horn we make globally inspired clothes that look smashing while doing good. We combine distinctive patterns, textures and techniques from around the world with energized forms and flattering fits from home. Working in developing countries with rich textile traditions, we hope to simultaneously strengthen local artisans and infuse our clothes with personality. We are excited to introduce unique, cool clothes to our friends while engaging them in the traditions we found so inspiring during our travels."

Basically, they're two amazing girls who help create and distribute the work of other amazing men and women from around the world. I was fortunate enough to have been able to go to the trunk show in NYC last month and get a couple of Lila Horn-aments.

First, I'll show you the sparkling skirt. Super comfortable, POCKETS (a must for me, personally - I never know where to put my hands, I feel like it's wrong to have them flailing awkwardly at my sides, or at least I bet they would flail awkwardly if I didn't insist on everything having pockets). Anyway, it has pockets, which is perfect. I also love the fact that the pattern of the skirt makes the waist band part look braided - such a lovely coincidental detail! If you're wondering, the second one (slightly lighter colors, circular pattern) is not mine, although I would've loved to have gotten two! It's Jessica's and she looks amazing in hers too - because I know I look better than a beauty queen on prom night. Also, it has the slightest bit of golden sparkle in the zig-zag pattern, which was wonderful for my New Year's Eve celebrations! I paired it with the double-cuffs + some black boots = grand old time!

More LH to come soon!

Obsessong of the day: Kid Sister - Right Hand Hi (this girl has got some serious personal flare)

oh P.S. Mom won the button in the Galette des Rois yesterday. Guess who got to be King? Congrats, dad (as every year)!
