O'Morro



Artistic duo Haas and Hahn have been painting the town... quite literaly! They have been working on their favela paintings in Rio since 2006 (above images are past work) and their latest work on "O'Morro" is my favorite so far!!




The above is a before image of the favelas... just another shanty town in brazil, until......


 COLOUR, COLOUR, COLOUR!!! 

The project is currently covering 34 houses and the 7,000 meters of slum has become a monument to the community.


Their plan is to raise enough funds to continue the project and hopefully cover the ENTIRE HILLSIDE!!! Just another reason Rio is on my travel hit list...

Red Rover, Red Rover...








I'm loving colour this winter. Neuw and Ksubi have brought out some AMAZING coloured jeans in shades of mustard, dusty pink, forest green and purple (see the video here). So naturally when I stumbled upon the glory that is RED PANTS I fell truly madly deeply in love!!!

Top of the Morning!







This is my ode to the topknot.... never has a hairstyle allowed "in need of a wash" hair look oh so stylish! Especially loving the super high, messy topknot ala Lanvin SS10 (top image)

Sartorial Pleasure

































I spent my work hours yesterday flipping through the pages of sartorialist and asos and dreaming longingly of all the things that my wardrobe DESPERATELY needs... Lady Boner moment!
