Photo diary | Brother's wedding

2012-03-07T11:13:00.000+10:00

Here's a few snaps from our time away.

My brother's wedding was the most magical day and the wet weather just added to the atmosphere. It was so perfect and beautiful. So many beautiful memories.

Photos: Brendan Doyle and me.

THE ICONIC

2012-03-07T09:14:00.000+10:00

I'M BACK!!! Wow, I haven't blogged in seven days! I think that's some kind of record for me.

I went to Sydney for my brother's wedding (which was AMAZING) and for work. I worked with the lovely team at The Iconic for a couple of days shooting some really rad stock. Here's a couple of new items, many more will be in store soon.

I'll be blogging as normal from now on! Happy Hump Day!

Diggin' these Daul Floral shoes. They're an excluisve Pixie Market and Jeffrey Campbell collaboration. The lucite heel is different from anything I own and so is the the floral plastic ankle and front strap. OOPS, there I go again falling in love with something floral.

I don't normally show work on my blog. It's weird I blog and all my life is basically an open book, yet I don't really go in to what I do for a job on here. Maybe I should?

Here's a shoot I did this week. No foundation - just eye make up. Freckles came out for a play!

Hope you're all having a good day!

Dancing In The Dark In The Pale Moonlight

2012-02-27T10:43:00.001+10:00

Over the next month, ten of Australia’s finest fashion bloggers will compete against ten of Britain’s best to see who can win the Next fashion blogger crown for their nation! So rad, right? We were given a Next SS12 item to style. I chose these beautiful floral capri pants (Ditzy Capri pants) as I am having a little bit of a capri pant moment.

Capri pants tend to get a bad wrap. But here I am trying to prove the critics wrong. I chose to take on a Balmain and Balenciaga inspired look giving cropped pants a punk/ biker overtone by pairing them with boots. I was trying to introduce a modern twist on the popular 50's/60's ladylike trend.

I bought this white lace Peter Pan collared top the other week and I have been dying to wear it. The lace detailing added the right amount of texture to my outfit. The weather hasn't been all that kind lately so I have been taking a jacket with me everywhere (yes mum, you'll be so proud). I bought this crisp white blazer on the weekend and I can already see it getting a work out this winter. It's a great structured piece which compliments my pants perfectly.

And that is how you wear capri pants.

London Is Calling

2012-02-23T10:30:00.001+10:00

Here is some streetstylin' that spoke to me. Not literally of course - but I really liked how these girls styled themselves.

1. I don't think I will ever get sick of the over-sized khaki utility jacket. In fact I have my eye on Stylestalker's new Rebellion Parka. Doesn't it looks so cozy and like you'd be warm for eternity? Am I right people, am I right?

2. This Winter I think it's time for me to finally invest in some leather pants. I've always been too scared that wearing leather pants will be venturing too close to cat-woman territory - but I tried some on about a week ago and I loved them!

3. What a chic look! I love that she introduced a subtle hit of colour! And that bag!!!!

4. I have been obsessing over a pair of brogues like this from ASOS. I think it's the perfect amount of Neon. I love how she has mixed the colours and prints. And I am a BIG fan of Capri pants at the moment so much so, the delivery man just delivered me some! They're floral and they're pretty damn RAD. But I will show you another time.

5. Hello, statement jumper! That is all.

6. This outfit is all about mixing textures. Those pants look amazing and even more so because I think they're vintage (correct me If I am wrong).

Seeing colours, seeing colours.

2012-02-22T09:46:00.000+10:00

I have had a fascination with coloured powder/ coloured chalk(?) for a while now. I loved Ksubi's iconic Koloured Denim video and I also really like Nick Thompson's Colourfornia video. When I stumbled across Louis Lander-Deacon's Flickr I fell in love with these photos.

I know there are a lot of photographer's using this technique and it may start to be done to death soon, but something magical comes together when all the colours are infused. It just makes me. feel. happy.

Happy Hump Day lovers!

I found this dress today and I fell so in love with it, I just had to show you straight away!! There is an indescribable feeling when you stumble across a beautiful piece of vintage. It's a different feeling than with normal clothes.

Even though I am so in love - I will be parting with this and it will be on sale at WKB!

Alexandra

2012-02-16T11:04:00.000+10:00

Valentina Vos is a Netherlands based photographer. Her work has been featured in the likes of Frankie, Dujour, Bambi, Omit, I Love Fake, Glossy, See Like Me. And it's no wonder. Her photos are stunning. I'm so glad I stumbled across her work because I absolutely love it.

I was drawn to this lot of photos purely because of the name "Alexandra" (I'm sure you all realise that's my full name by now - if you didn't well now you do).

Valentina Vos has a book One Seventy Four - she photographed 23 young models. During these photo-shoots she tried to let the girls be themselves instead of the models they are supposed to be. Almost all photos have been left untouched through out the book - she wanted to showcase natural beauty.

Check out more of her work on her site here

Après Ski

2012-02-15T15:53:00.003+10:00

Some really fun/geometric necklaces by Après Ski. I love the shimmering gold and silver against the mother of pearl, the soft pale blue and the deep pink. This collection seems to be priced well at around ₤40 - I was totally surprised with this price, so this make me like them that little bit more! The diamond shaped necklace (bottom right image) is their take of an ice-cream!

In another collections from Apres Ski, you will find cute delicate animals and various objects from nature - they're still okay, but i am completely in love with the geometric shaped pieces!

Florals

2012-02-12T18:37:00.001+10:00

Florals are fast becoming a regular print in my wardrobe! If you had have asked me a year or two ago if i'd wear them all the time I would have said no as I felt too girly and prissy when I wore them. If I did wear floral prints I had to team them with something "grungey". Now I love feeling polished. And I love wearing a dress and heels or tailored pants, structured top and heels.

I picked up these heels today. I was looking for some heels to wear to my brother wedding. It's a vintage wedding and it's on property so stilettos would have got me weeding rather than walking. These floral wedges are absolutely perfect for the occasion. I didn't go shopping with a set idea as I knew I'd look past something beautiful if I had a particular colour in mind. These were so cheap too, as Steve Madden had a 25% sale today!! Love a bargain!

Hope you've all had an awesome weekend!

Bow Tie

Here's some snaps of me looking all smart n' stuff in my bow tie. Charlie Chaplin would be so jealous right now.

Have a rad weekend! I had a massive day working (shooting). The photographer was lovely and the clothing the stylist pulled was so pretty. But way too hot for today's heat. I went out for tapas and wine tonight and am just about to watch movies but I wanted to do a really quick post cos I've been slack lately!

Lucky ones

I realised last night that there has been a lack of outfit posts on The Unknown Pleasures. What's with that? I mean, It is a fashion blog, isn't it? So here I am cowering. I am on my knees (no I'm not going to kiss your feet) asking for forgiveness (I guess?) - I 'll try and take more photos of what I am wearing!

I am wearing a vintage dress with a Zara knit over it, Lovisa necklace and Wittner shoes....Oh and new hair (can't forget the star of the outfit)

FEB PHOTO A DAY

2012-01-31T19:50:00.003+10:00

I'm getting so excited for the February Photo A Day Challenge! I didn't get to do the January challenge - so I have been hanging out 20 or so days ( I saw the challenge 10 days late - I do realise there's 31 days in Jan) for January to finish the hell up so I can go crazy with my phone in Feb!

I hope you guys join in - all you have to do is take a photo a day and share it on Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, Tumblr, your blog or where ever it is you want to share. Make sure If you're sharing on Instagram or Twitter use the hashtag #FEBphotoaday - that way everyone can find them!

Come and follow my photo a day journey by searching @allymaycarey on instagram! At the end of Feb, I will make a collage of all my Feb photos and share it on my blog for those of you who don't have instagram or twitter!

Let's get creative.

Thanks to FatMumSlim for creating such an amazing/rad concept!

Paris!

2012-01-30T13:01:00.000+10:00

Paris! The fourth and final city for the season. So let's take a look at some of my favourite street style photos and take note of how catwalk trends translate to the streets of Paris!

1. I don't think the The Clarins sister's can do any wrong. I didn't notice until now they have featured twice in my collage. Number 1 and number 7.
2. Over-sized jumper teamed with boyfriend jeans and a statement necklace. What a winning outfit - on several accounts.
3. Soft pastels and glitter heels. A perfect on-trend girly outfit. That clutch is beautiful.
4. I am all for peterpan style collars and being able to wear summery shorts with jackets.
5. Love a good printed tee. I would wear this outfit head to toe. Accessorised perfectly.
6. Anna Dello Russo showing us how to wear a mini dress. What a beautiful cut this one is.
7. As mention in point number one - The Clarins sister's know how to dress. Each of their outfits in this photo is executed perfectly.
8. I have a soft spot for red at the moment - so it's a given I like this. Plus I love seeing people colour block. I just wouldn't wear it...
9. That hat. Enough said.

Happy Monday. We have lots of gorgeous WKB stock coming this week!

Summertime sadness

2012-01-29T15:02:00.003+10:00

I won't bore you with me complaining about the weather - all I will say about it is, that it has forced me to dress for comfort. There's nothing worse than already feeling gross from the weather and wearing something that isn't season appropriate. So cue vintage boyfriends jeans, loafers and an oversized tee. Some might call an outfit like this "man repelling" or whatever you wish to call it. But seriously the jokes on you if you're out in your best shoes and finest designer outfit with this forecast. If that car splashed you on the foot path - you probably deserved it.

Hope you're all having an awesome weekend where ever you are in the world!

WHOKILLEDBAMBI GUIDE

2012-01-25T13:15:00.001+10:00

This morning I woke up to it raining yet again. I am so sick of it - but instead of it getting the better of me I thought I could use it to my advantage. I love styling and I love helping people out, so what better way to do both than to write a guide for WHOKILLEDBAMBI'S Facebook followers on "How to dress when It's raining".

This is my guide! I hope you enjoy it.

It's a skill to stand in heels in gale force wind and not fall head over, uh, heels. I'm not saying I have it down to a fine art, but I did manage to escape unharmed. Though, I may need one litre of Pantene's finest de-tangler.

Ankle boots have always been one of my weaknesses. But who would go weak at the knees when they saw these all leather boots? I love the side gusset detailing and the hook shape heel is different from any other pair of boots I own - so they really are the perfect addition to my shoe collection! I think you will see these feature a lot on Unknown Pleasures!!

This jersey playsuit by the girls at Stylestalker makes you feel as though you're wearing nothing at all. Pull it up, add some accessories and you're ready to bounce. I'm sort of thinking that my boyfriend wishes my entire wardrobe was filled with these - then he wouldn't have to wait around for me to get dressed.

The neutral tone is what drew me to this piece in the first place. You can wear it with anything. My personal fav is tan accessories.

Wayfarer

2012-01-12T16:14:00.002+10:00

Summer brights - summer shades.

Breo are renowned for their stylish watches, but did you know they make some pretty sick shade as well? My personal favourite is orange and black wayfarer ones that I am wearing in the above photos. The subtle hint of orange peaking through just adds that much needed splash of colour in summer.

I wanted to show you guys these sunglasses in photos from teh beach - but the days I wore them, I didn't have the camera handy!

Keep up to date with Breos products here

Happy Thurday!

I'd like to think when wearing these "Loafers", "Slippers" that I look more fashion and less Hugh Hefner. I bought these ones from Rubi and decided that If I don't end up liking them, then it's okay because they're only $29.95.

I am so in love with these soft, satin, scalloped hemmed shorts. They were a staple whilst I was away. The colour is perfect for summer and they go with EVERYTHING

Because Christmas was so hectic and such a whirlwind trip - this weekend has just been all about hanging out and making sure we recharge our batteries so we can kick start this year in style. So with hanging out comes comfy clothes and I don't think you can get any more comfortable than this MINKPINK baseball tee and my customised DIY shorts. The necklace was a Christmas gift off my sister and her BF. I also am getting some Bec Winnel artwork but it was still in transit when they gave me this - so I can't wait to receive it soon (that's if my sister doesn't keep it for herself)

I got a new tattoo today. Nothing to big - but I love it. Excuse the pun.

Have an awesome weekend, Ally.

Diana+

2012-01-06T16:56:00.002+10:00

Dear my lovely readers, Meet my new Camera. She's a pretty one, don't you agree?

This was one of the presents I received from Jonathan for Christmas. I absolutely adore it. It is so lightweight. I am loving re-learning film photography. I did photography in high school, it's amazing all the things I have forgotten.

He got me the kit - which is AMAZING. It seriously came with every accesory you could imagine. It is value for $$$ that's for sure.

{Kit includes}
• Diana Flash
• Hot shoe adaptors (one for camera, one for flash)
• Cable Release Collar and cable release
• Splitzer
• Diana 35mm Back + 4 masks for 4 formats
• Diana F+ 20mm Fisheye Lens
• Diana F+ 38mm Super-Wide Lens
• Diana F+ 55mm Wide-Angle Lens + Close-Up Lens
• Diana F+ 110mm Telephoto Lens
• Viewfinder Adaptor
• Universal Viewfinder
• Fisheye Viewfinder

My next purchase is the instant back piece. I have always wanted an instant camera so it's rad that it will be all in one. It takes Fujifilm Instax Mini film and can be used with all Diana+ accessories. Oh and another really cool thing is I can also get an adapter for my Canon EOS SLR. So I'm thinking of putting in an order to Lomography ASAP!

On a totally different note: I took a photo of my 6 year old niece with this camera - she asked to see the photo after I took it. It didn't occur to me until she asked this, that she isn't from a time of film cameras - she's so used to being able to seeing photos instantly. It's sad that a lot of children these days first camera is a digitial one. They don't get the excitement of taking their film into get developed and then not knowing what you're going to get back. I guess it's just one of those things that comes with being born into a techno surge.

2012-01-04T18:30:00.000+10:00

It's only been in the last week that it's felt like summer. I managed to come back from holidays with a little tan! This wasn't intentional, but I am welcoming it with arms wide open. It's giving me the chance to wear the things I have been longing to wear and photograph for you guys!

I have lots of blog posts I want to blog and lots of new stock for WHOKILLEDBAMBI for you to feast your eyes on. Let's all make 2012 the best year yet!!

I am wearing: One Teaspoon shorts, Bettina Liano top, JC Tardy wedges, Lovisa necklace, Nixon Watch, Vintage bracelet

2012 + Green drink

2012-01-04T12:17:00.003+10:00

It's widely accepted that the food in western culture does not give our bodies the energy it needs. And mine is feeling especially sluggish after Christmas and holidays. You can never control what you eat when you're away and to be honest who wants to be when it's a time when you're meant to let your hair down and relax.

So like last year I am going to start the new year with cleansing my body. Today marks the beginning of my post Christmas detox. I am taking part in a Greens detox - It's 100% fresh and all you drink is alkaline-forming dense green vegetables. Natural fibers such as cucumber, celery and spinach increases energy levels and provides essential nutrients to help return the blood and tissues to a healthy pH balance.

With the risk of sounding like a person trying to sell you on a product (which I am not by the way), it truly is a great detox. You don't need to buy the fancy juice cleansing program (which I am skeptical about) that you've seen so often. You simply just need to either look at ingredients in your fridge or follow my instructions below! What is good about making your own, is knowing exactly what is in it...Plus it's so much cheaper!

{What you will need to make your green drink}:
Cucumber
Baby Spinach
Celery
Green Apples
Lime is optional
Water - this controls the thickness, so it's up to you how much you put in
Blender

Please note: The amount of these ingredients is up to you. I generally make a large amount and store it in the fridge.

{Instructions}:
Green drink should be consumed up to three times daily, mixed with up to three litres water, for five days. I find my problem with attempting to take part in a liquid detox is not being able to consume the amount of liquid I am meant to. I find a litre-sized water bottle can help with this, as it allows to you measure your intake more effectively. I also do this with water on a daily basis, as I often forget how much I have consumed if I don't have my trusty bottle.

I find you also have to push through even when your body starts craving the food it is missing - once you pass that stage of detox, you can really feel your body in full detox mode.

Have an awesome day!

SIXTIES

2012-01-02T18:37:00.000+10:00

HAPPY 2012! My first post of the new year!! To start the year - I'd like to thank you all for following Unknown Pleasures. I hope you all had a great Christmas and New Year.

These sixties shorts by One Teaspoon are beyond comfortable. They're the softest leather shorts I have seen in a long time. I have been looking for the perfect pair of leather shorts for about two summers - and now I have them! The colour is so versatile and the tie up front is a cute feature. I can tell these are going to get a lot of wear.

You can find them here.

My holidays are coming to an end - which means that i'll be back to regular blogging and Who Killed Bambi will be back to updating weekly!

Christmas Holidays

2011-12-21T15:00:00.001+10:00

Packing is one of the funnest yet hardest things to do. I never know what to pack when I go away. I usually never plan outfits 'til just before I get dressed in the morning. How I dress reflects my mood for that day - so when I'm away for two and a half weeks, it's near impossible to think up outfits for that entire time. No wonder my luggage is always busting at the seams.

Here's some of the things I packed.

1. Element Eden handbag courtesy of Element Eden team and Vintage clutch
2. Note pad, book and KW jewellery
3. Sportsgirl overnight bag to pack all GHD, make-up and other bits and pieces in to keep it separate from my clothes, vintage necklace and House of Harlow sunglasses
4. Leopard belt via General Pants, Black belt via Myer, Paw Paw, Nail polish and a few rings
5. Bettina Liano shorts (how cute is the scalloped hem) MinkPink Raglan, Wrangler shirt and Element Tee courtesy of Element Eden. This is just a couple of things. So much more was packed! Ha ha.

I may not be able to post as reg as I'd like - but I will have a lot of photos to share when I get back!

MERRY CHRISTMAS! HAVE AN AWESOME BREAK!

WHO KILLED BAMBI | THE VILLAGE MARKETS | DECEMBER

2011-12-18T17:22:00.002+10:00

Today marked our debut at THE VILLAGE MARKETS. It was so much fun to meet our customers in person and have a little chat to them! It was such a busy day - a lot of people were doing last minute Christmas shopping! My friend Harri and I shared marquees - she was selling her gorgeous Vintage candles, which you can find here.

All our dress and jewellery were a hit! A lot of gorgeous pieces of never before see stock went to new homes. I really enjoyed seeing how my customers styled themselves before I sold them something new. I could then see how they would wear the piece/s they had chosen! I love that about vintage - the story behind the items just continue to grow.

Here are some quick photos I took through out the day of WHO KILLED BAMBI and SOY CHAI LATTE stall!

I already can't wait for the next one! Hope you've all had a good weekend!

PASTEL PINK

2011-12-15T14:50:00.001+10:00

I went to get my regrowth done today so I was all fresh for Holidays...

If you follow me on twitter, then you will probably know that I am FOREVER changing my mind about my hair. I'm sure you're sick of it, I'm sick of it and my boyfriend is sure hell sick of me always saying "should I grow my hair" or "what colour suits me more" or "blah blah, colour, blah blah, cut". So impulsively I went pink today. I went to see my friend Carly (superstar) from NV hair on the Gold Coast. I don't think I would have trusted anyone else to put a colour in my hair. This colour will last about a month and after then it will fade back to blonde. And 'cos I'm on break as of next week it won't matter that I have pink hair as I won't have any modeling jobs til next year! Win!

Happy Thursday (again)!

The flatform

2011-12-15T09:09:00.000+10:00

I was looking at these in Wittner on Tuesday morning and about an hour later I went back to try them on and then obviously bought them...I am so glad that I did as they're so comfortable and add a little bit of fun and colour to any outfit!

Anyone who knows me personally would know that I'm tall and I don't need to wear really high heels all the time, so these flatforms are great for me. They add not too much height, so I can wear them ALL the time!

Have a rad Thursday! Ally

LILYA AW12 | ELEMENTAL

Photos: Jonathan Hayward | Model: Ally Carey

I shot for Lilya a few months ago and now I can finally release the photos! I love all the pieces from Lilya's AW12 Elemental range. It was hard not to fall in love with each piece. The coats are so fluffy and warm, as are the knits. I felt like curling up in front of a open wood fire when we shot these - except the 34 degree heat kind of ruined that train of thought.

You can keep up to date with the Lilya facebook here and look through all the Lilya collections here

A big thank you to Lisa (the brains and beauty behind Lilya) for being so awesome! :-)

In Bloom

2011-12-08T18:30:00.001+10:00

I thought I would share some beauty products I picked up today. I have been so uninspired by nail colours lately. I wish I could just make all of my own! I mix colours together but it only ever makes enough for that one time. I'm talking about making my own and having a bottle full of it. Maybe I should write to O.P.I and tell them what colours I have in mind and where they are in fact going wrong with their colour selections. Haa.

So anyway, I found another Bloom colour from the same range as my "barcelona" one. You know the fluro pink I have been wearing? The purple one I have on in the bottom photo is just as awesome and bright as it. It is called "Charlie". What makes it even better though is David Jones are currently giving away a little Bloom goodie bag along with any Bloom purchase. So along with my "Big Apple red" and "Charlie", I scored a free make up bag (not featured), an eye lasher curler, Mascara and a lip gloss.

I am normally pretty dismissive of free goodies as it's normally pretty crappy things involved or the colours that they give you are just horrible and not even your 85 year old Grandma would wear it to your brother's wedding. But, I am pretty damn stoked. I have been meaning to replace my curler for months and I was out to buy a mascara anyway.

Have a good night guys! I have some photos to share with you tomorrow! A shoot I did with Lilya (AW12).

I thought I'd share a little candid shoot I did for the lovely Sarah and Marissa of The Village Markets! It was such a fun morning shooting.

These photos will be used as TVM's advertising on Flyers, banners, posters and other media!

Okay, firstly, sorry for being a slack-ass. I didn't realise until last night that I have given zero attention to my blog this week! You know what crazy things go on at the end of the year! My mind wants to be in 2012 already but my body is saying hold up, it's only the first week of December!

I'm quite certain you all know I am a shorts girl by now. These amazing lace shorts are by the babes at "Someday Lovin'" - they are so cute. The scalloped hemline is so beautiful.

I am really loving that white is on trend at the moment. Nothing says summer more than a crisp white pair of shorts or dress.

Wearing: Somedays shorts, Wittner heels, Mimco bracelet and clutch, Nixon watch, Vintage belt and Bardot tank.

Have an amazing weekend - enjoy the start of summer!!

Strangeness and Charm

2011-11-28T10:08:00.002+10:00

Sorry for the crappy iPhone photos - before we started doing this little DIY I didn't think that it could in fact be a blog post...Then suddenly as we were removing the Masonite and nails from the backing I thought "Woo, DIY blogpost ya'll". I didn't have time to grab my camera etc - Jonathan was just moving too fast for that. He is some kind of DIY machine.

So here you have it. What used to be a tapestry piece in an antique frame is now an illustration that Jonathan drew for me! Please note: It is not a portrait.

To make your own at home you will need:

An antique frame or any frame you like
A Stanley Knife
Thick cardboard from an art shop to make you Map board
A metal ruler
A pencil
A hard surface to cut on. DO NOT USE CARPET!!

How to:

Using the backing board from your selected frame - measure out and pencil in the size of your cardboard/ map board. Draw two vertical lines from corner to corner to determine your center-point.
Center your artwork and pencil in the size on the white side of your card board.
Measure in 1cm in from your artwork line to ensure your artwork is held in place
Using your stanley knife and metal ruler cut along your lines and then remove the excess
Place map board on top of artwork and place them both inside frame
Put backing on frame and voila! You're done. Pretty damn simple.

HAPPY MONDAY EVERYONE! I can't wait to show you some new stock this week!

Thanks for my present J!

seeing red

2011-11-27T20:37:00.000+10:00

These MinkPink jeans are so bloody comfortable and light enough to wear during summer. I used to dislike red - It was one of those colours that just didn't suit me. But It has grown on me and now I notice that when shopping I am steering towards all things red! Crazzzyyy!You can find these babies at MARKETHQ

I teamed my MinkPink jeans with one of the softest cotton shirts you could ever image. It has delicate lace shoulders - However they're a bit hard to spot in these photographs. But I am sure it will feature in more outfit post as it is soon becoming a summer staple. I can image wearing it with denim cut offs, skirts and even left open over vintage dresses! Wrangler you have made one versatile shirt!

Hope you all had a wicked weekend!The countdown for the Christmas break has officially started - and I for one can not wait to go away for a few weeks!

I could literally spend all day rampaging through design blogs. I can't put my finger on why I find it so much fun. But I think it has something to do with "one day I'll be able to have something like this" sort of mentality.

As I have mentioned before we are just renting our cute little apartment, so we can't do much to it. I really want to go crazy with some Wattyl, spend up big at Bunnings and restore some rad antique furniture that I just happened to pick up for a bargain... Hopefully that all starts in the not too distant future.

These pics are just some I have collected over the past few weeks. So enjoy.

Happy Thursday!

I have been wanting Vans for ages. I went through a Converse stage, but now I don't like them so much...I thought I would give Vans a whirl. Jonathan got them for me from CCS for only $44.95 or something. Crazy price compared to every retailer in Australia which charge around $89.95. I dunno, I just can't really justify paying nearly $100 for canvas sneakers I'd rather spend that $100 on heels.

Hope everyone is having a lovely Tuesday!

Dream Big

2011-11-19T11:27:00.001+10:00

Rach from In Spaces Between tagged me to take part in Sportsgirl's BELIEVE initiative. What an awesome little idea!!

So here you have it, some answers about my dreams past and present.

Q: As a child, what did you want to be when you grew up?

A: It's a running joke in my family that as a child I wanted to be an "Mermaid Marching-girl". I had a vivid imagination as a child (still do)- so to me at age 4-5, I thought being a "Mermaid Marching-girl" was a realistic goal. I soon realised that Mermaids could not in fact walk, let alone march, so my dream soon faded...

Fast forward to my early teens and I wanted to be an Olympic swimmer. I was a really strong swimmer and participated in all my swimming club carnivals, winning most races. So I really thought it would be something I would pursue. I still love swimming - but I realised that I had a stronger love for fashion.

Fast forward once again to grades 9, 10, 11,12 of high school where I discovered textiles and visual arts. From there I found a love of sewing and drawing. I knew that I wanted to work in a creative field from then on.

Q: Did you make this dream come true or change your mind?

A: I am actively pursuing my dream from my later teens. It is something I am so passionate about, which I think is very important. Your passion will be what allows you to live out your goals/ dreams. I think it will be a dream where I keep changing things a long the way. As I grow, my dreams will grow and I guess only get bigger.

Q:What is your fave childhood memory?

A: I have a lot of great childhood memories. We moved around a lot throughout my childhood, as my parents are teachers. To some this sounds like their worst nightmare; having to make new friends, start new schools etc - but I loved it. I love meeting new people.

Q: The biggest dream you have right now?

A: My biggest dream at the moment is for Who Killed Bambi (My online store) to do well and to make it bigger and better. It's as simple as that. I constantly have new ideas for WKB, so I am going to keep things evolving to make sure that comes true.

Q: Your summer must-have pick from the current Sportsgirl range?

A: Out of all the questions - this one is by far the hardest. There is too many gorgeous pieces to choose from!!

I love the Miss Unkon Little magic playsuit and also I can never go past SG accessories. I love pops of red at the moment so the Pippa medium satchel feeds that addiction well!

Now it's my job to pick three gorgeous bloggers to take part in this little quiz! So can Liss from Daydream Lily, Kim from Blonde Suburbia and Jazz from Fizzleout please step up to the Microphone.

Dress | Who Killed Bambi (vintage available soon)

Shoes | Wittner

Bag | Zara

Cuff | ASOS

Necklace | Vintage

Ring | eBay

Continuing on from my "wine" post from yesterday....I did warn you I had a little bit of a thing for maroon still. Not sure why, I thought I saw enough of it through out the winter months.

It's far too hot in Queensland this week to wear anything but loose summer dresses and shorts and tees. It's actually quite hard to dress in summer up here, as when you go outside in nice clothes you never feel nice an hour or so later you just feel sweaty and uncomfy. Or if it's like past summers and all it does is rain...that's when things get extremely hard as it can be thunderstorms yet still 36 degrees. Seriously - what the hell can you even wear in that type of weather?

This little vintage dress will be available soon on WHOKILLEDBAMBI. I am in love with the polka dots, the neckline and the now short length.

Have a fun Thursday!

I took some photos of one of my good friends today. These are just a taste of what I took. Amy made it far too hard to select images. I had so much fun being behind the lens instead of in front of it for a change - but when Ams made my job so easy I could have photographed her all day.

I think I could get used to doing this more often. I got Amy to arrive with no make -up on as I wanted to shoot her raw. I really love the no make up and simple styling look at the moment.

By no means am I a photographer - just merely having lots of fun! Hope you guys like them.

Sass and Bide: Missing in Action Bag
Oak NY Hat

I love this hat from Oak NY and I stumbled across this bag in Myer on the weekend and I haven't been able to get it out of my head since. It's nothing too special but in person I was drawn to it for some reason. I think these two things are on my unofficial Christmas list.

I only realised as I was photoshopping the two together that they're somewhat the same colour. I often do that without realising. I must be in a wine/purple kinda mood!

Have an awesome day!

The man on the bicycle

2011-11-15T11:39:00.004+10:00

"The best fashion show is definitely on the street" - Bill Cunningham

On Saturday night we stayed in and watched Bill Cunningham New York. And far out, what a fantastic documentary!

For those of you unaware of Bill Cunningham/ the man on the bicycle, I'll bring you up to speed. Bill Cunningham photographs people and the passing scene on the streets of Manhattan daily. Through watching this documentary you will see he only photographs people who are wearing extraordinary things. Bill Cunningham has a keen eye for fashion and likes to see people steering clear of "cookie cutter" sameness. And I for one have that same outlook. Why would you want to look like 10 million other people when it is so easy to be an individual?

What really was inspiring about this documentary was that Bill Cunningham is an 80+ man still doing what he loves and what he describes as "not work, it’s pleasure.". He has retained such a youthful spirit - He is still riding a bike around daily, he’s still on the street and is still doing his two columns for The Times. It is inspiring to see there is no age limit on the things you love to do and that if you keep active you will live a long, fulfilled life.

The documentary also has a sad undertone. Bill has chosen to live a modest life. He doesn't care for money and his apartment is very small, filled with filing cabinets upon filing cabinets. This is where he stores every photograph he has ever taken for his own reference. Bill's bed is merely a plank of wood and a mattress. He has never been in a relationship and he doesn't have any children. But he doesn't seem to care. He said he "hasn't ever had the time" - he's always been "too busy" to fit anything along those lines in. He works day and night, and has done so for years. Through this you can see that he has really taken a vow of fashion.

It truly is a must see - so please do! I bet you won't be able to stop smiling at how amazing this gentleman is.

PS: One of the only reasons why I want to go to New York is so I can bump into Bill on 57th Street and 5th Avenue. That would be amazing.

Happy Tuesday

2011-11-13T17:32:00.002+10:00

I am wearing:

☠ Vintage dress

☠ eBay Shoes

☠ eBay belt

☠ D&G Sunglasses

☠ ASOS Bag

This is what I wore yesterday. I love the material of this dress. I love the length it is now as well. It was so, so hot yesterday. I felt like just wearing swimmers all day. But I ended up opting for this light weight summer dress instead.

What did you get up to on the past few days? My weekend has been so busy, but really fun as well! my weekend highlight? I went surfing in the morning with Jonathan for a bit of exercise and the same yesterday morning. I am so glad summer is just lurking around the corner!! I've made some summer resolutions!!

I will be uploading new stock to WHO KILLED BAMBI tomorrow so make sure you check out www.whokilledbambi.co for some rad new vintage pieces.

A massive shout out to all my new followers!

Chalk street art

2011-11-13T12:03:00.000+10:00

This is a 3D street painting of a LEGO Terracotta Army for the Sarasota Chalk Festival in Florida. According to Leon Keer of Planet Streetpainting, the art is “inspired by the Terracotta Army of Qin Shi Huang, the first emperor of China”.

This artwork was created by Planet Streetpainting, a Dutch chalk art collective made up of street artists. I love how your eye plays a trick on you. I actually feel like there is a massive trench in the road. The correct term for this wonderful 3D illusion is “anamorphic street painting" - and it is fast becoming a popular style of street art!

I hope your weekend has been wicked so far! Happy Sunday-funday lovelies.

Animal Farm

2011-11-11T09:48:00.002+10:00

These are out of control with coolness.

The label is "HAOSHI" (Est 2009) and all these incredible pieces of art are designed by Griffin a Taipei based designer. "Hao shi” means “good things”. Griffin believes that life is full of happy and interesting things. He tries to add a kind of purity/ peace into the design concept of his collections. Cool, huh? It's alot more than just a ring!

You can find them here

Happy 11.11.11. Remembering all the courageous men who have fought for us. XX

Wool and the Gang

2011-11-10T11:40:00.002+10:00

If we here in the Southern Hemisphere weren't heading in to what I think is going to be one of the hottest summers yet - I would think about buying this pattern from "Wool and the Gang". Wool and the Gang has ready made jumpers for those of you who can't knit/ too impatient or for those of you who like a challenge you can buy the kits to the jumpers and make yo' own! What a rad idea! So many D.I.Y ideas!

Visit their store here or their twitter here

I love this cut out knit - and I am jealous I have to pack all my knits away :-(

Lorna Jane Campaign

2011-11-09T15:07:00.002+10:00

So I am over the moon today because my campaign for Lorna Jane hit store nation wide! It's a bit surreal seeing yourself in a shop front and in catalogues!!

I didn't even know 'til one of my friends emailed! She receives emails from LJ, so I popped up in her inbox this morning! He He.

This campaign is entitled "Follow My Lead". Throughout the campaign Lorna is telling her secrets to a healthy successful life.

On another note, Lorna has just released her first book "MOVE.NOURISH.BELIEVE" which you can pre-order here. I can guarantee you it is going to be very inspiring! I was lucky enough to spend the day shooting with her and she is amazing.

You can view the lookbook online here and soon the behind the scenes video will be live!

Hope you're all having a rad day!

Ally

Kristian Schullar is one of my favourite fashion photographers. I love how he captures the flow, personality and essentially a storyline with his work.

The three colourful, dreamy and surreal style images I have featured are all part of Kristian's "90 Days One Dream eBook" where Kristian travels to beautiful places around the world photographing beautiful girls as he goes. The eBook features 219 pages and includes a 6 minute Making-Of film. I think I would like this book on coffee table - even if it's just to showcase the cover!

I have finally decided to get my hair chopped..again! So I will show you all after the scissors attack me at 12pm today! Wish me luck!

Date night outfit

2011-11-03T19:22:00.002+10:00

What i'm wearing tonight for take-away dinner date night and bad movie night. I'm getting a lot of mileage out of my new ASOS tee. It's so cool and comfy. I'm also trialing my flashes - hence the different lighting in the photos....

Have a good night!

Mary & Marie

2011-11-02T18:08:00.000+10:00

Have you seen these badboys? Rachel Mary Torti and Laila Marie Nassar Taper from Mary & Marie have created the ultimate beach/travel/baby/overnight/gym bag, so in other words the mother of all bags.

What's exciting is summer is only four weeks away - though here on the GC it feels like it's here already. I can already see myself going on weekend trips to Byron to surf, sun bake and eat some fish and chips at The Pass. This bag could be the bag to carry my overnight clothes in and then solider on to the beach carrying my endless supply of unnecessary things that "I just might need today".

You can see/buy all of Mary & Maries bags here.

Margaux

2011-10-28T12:57:00.000+10:00

I have always been fasinated with mega babe Margaux. Plus her blog's name (The Killing Moon) is one of my favourite songs in the world. I absolutely love it.

I love hearing bloggers speak as well - I think it's because you know so much about someone through reading their blog etc, but you never know what their voice sounds like. Which is a weird concept!

Take a look at Margaux interview with Stylelikeu
