Little Black Book

The Messenger

2012-02-26T21:52:08+11:00

The Messenger ring has been calling my name for some time now. I desperately need it - though since I'm jetting off to New York City in roughly two weeks time all my funds are tied up...
Rose Gold + Rose Quartz + Crow Claw = Blood Milk magic.
It is incredible how aesthetically in sync Little Black Book and Blood Milk are - the talented Jess Schnabel designs and makes reality everything that I love: witches, occult, death, momento mori, taxidermi, nature. Each and every collection brings more love and excitement from me! Click here to view her current collection 'The Conjurer'.

(Fingers crossed I can round up some money and save up for this magnificent beauty! )

WATSON x WATSON AW12

2012-02-17T11:04:31+11:00

When I first received the new Watson x Watson AW12 lookbook in my inbox, I have to admit I squealed with delight. The thought of prancing around in furs, wollen capes, comfy cottons and chic sequins in the winter makes me so excited! I would love to wear everything from this debut collection, prancing around in Times Square with the snow falling around me - feeling snug yet effortless glamourous at the same time! Congratulations Liberty and Somer Watson (two beautiful sisters behind the label) on such a brilliant, lush cohesive collection - I'm in loveeee!!

Here's some glamour for your Thursday afternoon: the new ad campaign featuring Alice Dellal known for her signature half shaved hair and grunge aesthetic brings a different feel to the latest CHANEL campaign. Title 'My new friend 'Boy'" and shot by Karl Lagerfeld the short film is set in the 1920's, Dellal looks spectacular with adorning pearls, monochromatic silk garments and of course lots of Chanel! Such a cute and inspiring mini film.

Lone Wolfe at Room 205

2012-02-10T13:30:16+11:00

You might remember my interview with the amazing Chelsea Wolfe (and if you don't and therefore might not even know who Chelsea Wolfe is, then head over there and read up on it!) late last year, well here is her amazingly incredible and spellbinding performance of Movie Screen.
I particularly loved the caption beneath the video: "To enjoy this truly spellbinding Room 205 performance of "Movie Screen" by Chelsea Wolfe, we suggest you turn down the lights, don headphones, relax and get yourself into a gloomy Portishead-meets-Mary Shelley's Frankenstein state of mind."
Bam. Enjoy three amazing performances held at Room 205, coincidentally they are three of my favourite songs (also deeply in love with Mer) xx

EXCLUSIVE LOOK: Vintage Fashion Emporium @ Sydney Antique Centre

2012-02-09T19:58:06+11:00

Last Wednesday Little Black Book was given exclusive access to go on set of the prelaunch magazine shoot of Sydney newest Vintage Fashion Emporium located at the Sydney Antique Centre - the Vintage Fashion Emporium is literally a huge ground floor with hundreds of stores selling vintage clothing, accessories for both men and women dating from the 1900's-1980's as well as home accessories, furniture and more.

Not only is it a pleasure to have access to such a vast quantity of vintage clothing spanning the last decade in one huge space, the quality and price points are incredible! I'm also a huge fan of antique homewares and I was not disappointed! This place was filled with antique brick-a-brac, furniture, I even saw on first glance a sick looking rocking horse only to discover it was actually a 'walking' horse - you pedal and the horse walks, with you on it!

Newly launched - LITTLE BLACK BOOK SHOPPE

2012-02-02T23:21:07+11:00

I've recently just launched the official Little Black Book Shoppe, shop my wardrobe. Most pieces have never been worn, bought out of impulse. There will only be one of each item in stock, expect mostly designer clothing (think sass&bide, opening ceremony, Jeffrey Campbell, Alice McCall, Ksubi etc) and accessories, shoes and a tad of vintage.
I will be adding more items every week so keep an eye out for more one off pieces. Please go check it out, I will be clearing out most of my wardrobe as I need to save up for a new DSLR camera and save for my trip to NYC in March. Please help a fellow fashionista out xx

Absolutely dying over my new Jeffrey Campbell Perfect 2 Spike heels which I purchased today after viewing the Sydney KARL pop up store in Bondi.

WORLD DOMINATION - MinkPink goes global!

2012-01-24T00:11:16+11:00

Last Friday I had the pleasure of attending a blogger only event to celebrate the launch of MinkPink's first global campaign launch with a delicious tea party. Imagine a long table, which took up 80% of the room topped with lollies, scones, sandwiches and cupcakes which would make the Mad Hatter just a little mid more mad and add some of Australia's best known fashion bloggers in there and you got yourself a killer tea party!

In celebrating of the first ever global campaign launch, MinkPink have made this incredibly cute and chic video. Hope you enjoy it as much as I did! Yay for Aussie domination! Well done MinkPink!! Little Black Book loves you!!
