Some inspiration.....

Fashion Photography - Sarah Moon

I have had a love of fashion photography for awhile now and living in a house with 2 other artists means there is alot of inspiration around!!! When i stumbled across the "Fashion Book by Phaidon" i was so inspired by the photography of Sarah Moon i got out my dusty old Polaroid and Pentax 35mm camera and started shooting! then i got sentimental - It's so unfortunate that we have lost the old style of making photos and memories, I love the old 8mm home movies my papa made and the 70's color of all my mums and dads old photos!! I think digital cameras have lost that candid quality of the old film. So lucky for me we have managed to score some good dark room equipment (for free i might add ;-) from a high school and now we are in the process of building our very own dark room!! YAY!! I cant wait to experiment with different emulsions and chemicals, anyway lets get down to the pictures -

Below are some of the images that Sarah Moon has created - it features her own work and the 1972 Pirelli Calender.

Really Cool Aussie Online Store!!!

My Fave Stores


OK here is a list of some cool online shops i have pegged out for you girlie's.


the first and by far the best shop for original plus-size clothing is from a Brisbane company called Entitled Clothing - they are manufactured here in Australia and run by a fab bunch of ladies who i have chatted to many time, and i love there clothing - last season they had a stunning black tube dress which i still wear - the quality is second to none and compared to place like City Chic and Myer. Pricing is really good i think - i get a lot of wear from there items! Please check it out for yourself, i hope you like them as much as i do!

Above piccies from left to right :

1. "Where the wild roses grow" (love the name!!!) maxi Dress $152

2. "Grazia" 1950's Dress $149

3. "Nautical Clouds" Maxi Dress $139

Weekend Update

Hey Ladies - big weekend for me!!! But i was just watching the tv and was ....i dont know how to say it......amused - maybe..... by the new ad for 'Dance your ass off', i dont know whether to laugh or cry for these women (and men)- and come on who dresses the contestants!! Red PVC and Black mesh is horrid in it's own right, but come on these costumes dont leave anything to the imagination!! So i would love to hear people's thoughts on this new show!!






Now i havent had a chance to get in the city for awhile - but next time im there im gonna check out Myer's new range's - they include Piper Woman, Basque Woman, Flirt, Mink Denim, Estelle and Monroe - available at all the City Stores around the country. I havent seen much for these lines before (only in shop til you drop mag) - so im interested to see if they can bring a fresh look to the industry. Oh and im so excited for the NEW Tim Burton movie - 'Alice in Wonderland" -YAY!!!! on that note chickies - only a short one tonight and i think tomorrow i will chat about the top aussie retailers for plus size clothing cos there are a few secret ones that im gonna share with you.
