Hunter Parish for GQ

2009-07-17T11:00:00.004+10:00

Hunter Parish, star of one of my favourite shows Weeds, does August's issue of American GQ magazine. Not only is there classic collegiate styling, but a pretty interesting article too.

Did I ever mention my obsession?

2009-07-10T08:24:00.002+10:00

It's not only Carrie Bradshaw who was fanatical about shoes. I am a complete addict and recently had to cull my collection for extra closet space. I have not stopped thinking about these shoes from Zu since spotting them in store weeks ago. Now they are on sale, I think its a sign to get them.

Rugging up with Arthur G

2009-07-03T08:52:00.003+10:00

It's so cold right now (well for a Queensland winter) and Australian label Arthur Galan has the urban man covered. Seen here from the current collection are the Nylon High Button Trench in (far left & right) and Patchwork Cardigan (centre).

That Tribal Trend

2009-06-26T00:48:00.005+10:00

I don't think Trussardi 1911 S/S 2010's collection (as seen on the runways of Milan) could be hotter if it tried. Feathers, fringing and faded denim has never looked so good. I freaking love it!

Oh House of Holland for Topman, how I love thee. Two words, square neckline. To nobody's surprise this is currently sold out on the online store. Poo poo. Let's have a restock pronto!

This Is Oz

2009-05-20T08:21:00.001+10:00

Olympic gold medalist Matthew Mitchum speaks up for an inclusive Australia in This Is Oz.
An online humans rights campaign (and art project) he is joined by MTV VJ Ruby Rose and Home And Away actress Jessica Tovey. I've been trying to figure out where his shirt is from, it looks very similar to something I saw at Cotton On...

Bourne Identity

2009-05-18T08:32:00.000+10:00

Fighting crime just got a whole lot easier thanks to Kate Sylvester. The Bourne Hoodie from her AW 09 menswear collection features a built in eye mask... and come to think of it, villain's will probably like this hoodie too.

Trimäpee or Why I need to Move to Melbourne

2009-05-17T08:36:00.000+10:00

Aussie based label Trimäpee (say: Trim – mar – pea) has won my heart.
First launched in 2005 by designers Peter Strateas and Mario-Luca Carlucci, Trimäpee have a concept store in Fitzroy Melbourne and their website promises an online shop is on the way.

Logies 2009 - Best Dressed

2009-05-04T14:10:00.004+10:00

Last night was the 51st TV Week Logies Awards. I was pleased to see former Big Brother presenter Gretel Killeen hosting the event (and there were haters). Best and Worst Dressed lists have already popped up all over the internet but my two fave red carpet stars of the night were actor/singer Dean Geyer and Getaway presenter Jason Dundas. I haven't seen a white suit jacket look good in so long.

Totes

2009-04-22T13:41:00.001+10:00

I carry a lot of crap. When I got out for the day I want to be prepared, you know, in case I'm bored on a train. With me at all times are my wallet, Blackberry, iPod, chewing gum, a book, tissues, notepad, antibacterial gel, chewing gum, lip balm, street press, avant cards and chewing gum. As a result I have a huge collection of bags, though lately I have been getting lazy and using the same one over and over. I can see this bag changing that.

Jay Jays, what can I say... it was once my go to clothing destination when I was just thirteen. Now I'm seriously liking both the hooded cardigan and printed tee (And I'm extra picky with my prints). The best part about these two - I can afford them!

What I'm Saving For...

2009-04-20T14:02:00.001+10:00

Pete Versus Toby's 2009 logo is the cross and its goddamn sweet. It fondly reminds me of a hopscotch grid accommodating a third leg. I'm a fan of both the white tee & jumper (which are also available in black). I should have worn this for Easter...

Red vs. Blue

2009-04-20T10:19:00.000+10:00

You cannot step into a mall/bar/club/train/stranger's bedroom without spotting the Telstra Hiptop Slide. I myself once harbored a desire to upgrade from my then less inferior hiptop model. Nokia then launched the E71 and I watched my friends snap up the phone in it's various monotonous shades. I have recently stumbled across the wondrous Nokia E63 which, like the Slide, is available in two colours - ruby red and aquamarine blue. While I am very happy with my Blackberry Bold I can't help but want this new phone as well. Call me selfish.

I'm not so sure about this recurring pose which tests the elasticity of the skinny jean crotch (Efron too below) but I am damn sure I want that jacket. I've never really been a fan of the leather jacket until now. Strange no?

Zac Efron

2009-04-18T16:22:00.001+10:00

Alright, I may not love the guy (or even really like him) but I do appreciate his style. Zac Efron does GQ's May issue looking somewhat sharp with an oily do reminiscent of one Robert Pattinson. I've never really noticed before... but Zachy boy has one big head.

Hello Reader,

I've decided to start a blog. One of my very own. And what shall I be posting about you ask? Almost anything and everything that presently captures my attention. The majority of the subject matter will be centered on things that I enjoy. Things as in stuff. Because, stuff is good.
