Just in time for summer, the Australian based Seafolly has launched it’s newest collection of swimwear. The best thing about Seafolly is each bathing suit has multiple top and bottom choices, so you can mix and match to make the suit that is perfect for your body type.

I haven’t made an outfit post in ages! I’ve basically been living in a variation of skinnies paired with grey, navy, black and beige for the past couple of weeks. Nothing worth posting really. Today it’s nice and warm out so I’m finally breaking out my leather skirt. You’d think it would be an ideal item to wear when it’s colder, but I’ve never found a warm enough jacket that balances the fullness of the skirt. I like to wear it during the month-long open window I may get in late spring or late summer, when it isn’t too hot or too cold outside.
I broke the outfit into two looks, one for this afternoon and the other to wear out tonight. I’m wearing an Urban Behaviour tank top, vintage skirt and Aldo shoes in the first photo, and the same items but with a Zara dress worn as a top in the second photo. I’m planning to go thrifting in a bit. Hopefully I can find a good jacket to pair directly with the skirt!
I think technology and I need a divorce. Or at least some time apart, so we can maybe figure out where we are in our lives, because I think technology needs to get its priorities straight. Case in point, last night the wireless network on my laptop just disappeared. POOF! Just like that. Gone. I’ve googled the problem already and found out that I’m not the only one this has happened to. Thank you malware for making my day harder than it has to be! Unfortunately I’m not much of a techie so following directions on a forum just isn’t working out. So now I’m blogging with two laptops in front of me. One doesn’t have internet and the other doesn’t have photo editing software. Brilliant. But anyways, let me refocus on the purpose of this post, the wonderfully colourful Pelican Avenue fall 09 collection.
Pelican Avenue is the brainchild of Carolin Lerch, a graduate from the Antwerp Academy of Fashion and former assistant of Bernhard Willhelm. The label is intended to propose a different approach to fashion, to oppose constantly changing trends yet avoid stagnation and complacency. The collections are represented through different types of media including photography, live installations, performances and video. I definitely recommend a visit to their website, where the collections are broken up and displayed as themed projects, most with a fantastic accompanying video.
Although their intention is to avoid trends, I can’t help but point out that the nomad looks in this collection are rather similar to work by the likes of Damir Doma and Rozalb de Mura. The “avante-garde” group it seems, still has it’s own microcosm of recurring trends and themes, but they do seem to have more staying power and enjoy a longer time span before saturation. I’d still wear every piece and treasure them forever!

I’ve been falling a bit behind on blogging lately, so please bear with me while I catch up and respond to new comments and e-mails tonight! I haven’t even turned on the computer in the past three or so days which is unheard of, for me. But I finally had the time to do some reading and see the new Star Trek movie! They could’ve toned down the special effects overload, but I did enjoy the many comedic pauses. Are there any fans here reading the blog?
Anyways, here are a few shots from one of my favourite vintage Helmut Newton editorials from the December 1967 issue of British Vogue. Flying furs aside, I love the suspended action in these photos. I am especially fond of the last two which are just epic and definitely not fashion pretty.
