Alexander Wang ss11

I feel I need a pair to toughen up a pretty summer dress.

Through rose coloured glasses

I woke up this morning to learn that the sun actually still exists and had the sudden urge to purchase a new pair of shades for the occassion. Gone is the day of the standard black or oversized frames...UV protection is now a game which encompasses obscurity and colour.  Do eyewear designers now need a degree in architecture?  Sunglasses are the new statement accessory to be worn on your face at all times, not on top of your head (cover your ears Alex Perry)...here are a few of my new loves!

If you want to know what any of these are leave me a comment...in fact comment anyway and tell me which are your favourites!!

If you haven't met my mum before she is a pretty fashionable, fun, Pina Colada loving, shopoholic, and all round mad chick.  She has always gone above and beyond to make sure that she is 'the cool mum' and that I am the best dressed kid around.  There is one moment though that made me seeeeeriously doubt her judgment - when she bought me the backpack instead of the side bag for my first day of highschool.  To put this in perspective, out of 250 girls in my grade I am pretty sure I was one of about 20 that had to lug around such a monstrosity.  I saved up my pennies for monnnnths and finally bought myself a side bag - probably the first item I ever saved for.  In a strange turn of events, nearly ten years later and I am saving to buy myself the very thing I sought to destroy!  LOZ NEEDS A BACKPACK STAT!  While they are unfortunately not made out of the same royal blue canvas with posture support...here are the three on my wishlist!

1. Alexander Wang - Sydney Velvet Backback

2. Gucci - Darwin Backback (oldie but a goodie!)

3. Deadly Ponies - Mr. Backpack

Love you mumma!

Alexander Wang knows how to throw a Carnival. Oh! & a Spring collection!

My life is currently consumed with 'The role of Constitutional Conventions in the Westminster System" as well as the heightened consumption of Red Bull to keep me awake during such a amazingly interesting assignment topic.  Unfortunately for my studies, this week has also coincided with New York Fashion Week.  Enter the art of procrastination.  

I have, however, limited myself to one designer stalk per day.  At the top of my list, as always, trend GOD Alexander Wang!  While my privacy feels a little invaded by the way he constantly gets inside my head and pulls out exactly what I want to see...I think I'm going to let it slide.  

From the moment I clicked play on the runway footage on Style.com I was mesmerized by visions in white...yes WHITE!  The fashion prince of darkness ditched his usual black hughes and grunge aesthetic for freshness and purity while still embodying his unique style with the loose fits, industrial materials and constructed perfection we love him for! To add to the excitement were the supers stomping it out such as Lily Donaldson, Agyness Deyn, Karolina Kurkova and Abbey Lee Kershaw (maybe changing her hair to match Wang's new white fetish?).

As if he hadn't already broken the stereotype enough for one fashion week, Alex invited friends to a after-show party they would never forget!  Guests arrived to a magical fashionista carnival complete with jumping castle, merry-go-round, ring toss and bumper cars.  Whether this was a test as to the amount of things his leggy friends could accomplish in heels is still to be confirmed but we do know that he gave Deyn a run for her money,  dancing on stage to Miley Cyrus' Party in the USA!  Is there anything this guy can't do?
