Borders... Sadness/Happiness.

OK, I know everyone has been throwing up about the recent borders liquidation NIGHTMARE (NIGHTMARE!!!!!!!!!) so I'm not going to go on about it too much, although I must say when I walked in this morning to empty shelves and general BARENESS. You see, like many, my main problem is I am a complete unashamed magazine obsessive. Glossy paper is my drug, Borders is my dealer. YA GET me? SO YES, I am SAD SAD SAD about it all. But Im not gonna lie, the 40% off has made me very happy.
(Does this make me a bad person?)
The first book Im going to share with you is this, "NOT IN FASHION" by MARK BORTHWICK, a wonderful coffee table book of some of his sweet as pictures. check it out kids. sorry about the bad pictures... Im going home tomorrow so its going to be a total SCAN FEST for tyhe next few weeks, totally taking full advantage of that.....

The book is split into two parts. The first part is a combination of poems and paragraphs mixed in with this wonderful photography, as seen in the pages of Purple and Italian Vogue.

 

The second part is exerts from scrapbooks, and is personally my favourte part of the book:

 

I don't really know much about his work, so I don't knwo when the book was first published or anything like that. All I know is I likes it. Oh and I did recognise this picture. Do you?

warm feelings.

Sorry. Two swears before I even began the post. but sometimes you just gotta. seriouslyt tyhough this is so good!! I was just reading about them in the london evening standard so I thought Id check em out and BOOM i love em. well I saw this picture and I knew I would.

JC in the house

I don't know if Im the only one, but I had pretty much just dismissed the JC de Castelbajac a/w09 collection as those silly muppet dresses and that tacky dollar bill dress katy perry kept working. However thier latest window in the Conduit st shop made me stop and relook, and ive actually found some way cute pieces that I love. OK I know they still pretty much still run in the tackymuppetness theme, but they still made me aw.

However, Im pretty sure the staff in that joint look like the biggest bunch of stuck up losers, so I don't know when I will ever be stepping foot in that joint...

Film.

 
This is what I have been doing.

She's a monster

That last post was my 150th. Wish Id known. It was a nice post though for the 150th.

Anyway anyway anyway, I was just doing some internet digging for a friend, looking for these shots from the May 2007 UK Vogue, and Im so glad I found them because honestly and truthfully this is one of my favourite editorials of all time. I have it all on my walls back home. So yeah it was nice to look at the shots again, and I thought Id share.

Lara Stone shot by Mario Testino for Vogue May 2007. Oh incidentally the latest issue sees Lara reunited with Testino. the shot is nice, but not like this:

 

 

ugggggggggggghhhhhh SOOOOOO GOOOOOOODDDD!!!!

I especially love the rubber stockings, and the nude turban. oh and the ruffles. And how Lara is looking like she fell from space. The first picture is my favourite. This is how we must live our LIVES!



PS. the title of the post comes from a comment on HERE which is where i pretty much stole all these pictures from. Im a cheeky fucker.

I'LL EAT YOU UP I LOVE YOU SO

IM SORRY I KNOW I HAVE POSTED ABOUT THIS LIKE AMILLIONTIMES BUT SERIOUSLY WHY DO I HAVE TO STILL WAIT ANOTHER  18 DAYS TO SEE THIS WHEN I AM SO DESPERATE AND EVERYONE ELSE ALL OVER THE WORLD HAS ALREADY GOT TO SEE IT MONTHS AGO? AHHHHH. seriously this trailer fills me with so much emotion. I just need to see it. like now! NOW!

Anyway, While we're on the subject....

I so love the new Dazed feature with the Opening Ceremony and PAMELA LOVE (<3) Wild things collections...

SO GOOD. SO GOOD!

YES! FINALLY!

OK so you know how I've been throwing up about thermal underwear as outerwear, for like ages? well finally I got me some super rad long johns. They're Heat Tech from UniQlo and their super fuin to wear and super warm and I thuink they pretty much look the shit. OK so I havent been brave enouigh to wear them outside of the house yet (its only been a day!) but its fun walking round the house in them. Also they were only 8.99 with student  discount which makes me happy.

Heat Tech Long Johns: UniQlo, Dark Grey Sweatshirt: UniQlo, Bear feet Slippers: Old gift (car boot sale?)

Also I am so not the only one all over this shit.
