Vogue Italia September 09 presents...

Autumn is now upon us, dark nights are here, leaves are falling off the trees, and Christmas theatre plays are being advertised. Vogue Italia catches the season so perfectly in one of my favourite editorials yet!!

The colours are amazing, bright but yet so deep, sealing in the autumn atmosphere.

What are your thoughts on this editorial, and which front cover did you buy? Mine was the second one!

Tokyo Fenzy!

There's something about this city that really fascinates me to the max! I don't quite know whether it's the sur-real kitsch fashion sense of the inhabitants, their fashion forward attitude, or just their sheer confidence, or a mix of all three.

These girls must spend hours and lots of money on these outfits to make them look so perfected! Whether they're wearing matching accessories or a clash of a collection, they always manage to look so perfectly styled! I could spend hours looking through a collection of photos documented on their style. They're oozing in confidence, and with that a happy, care free attitude.

I've researched into Japanese fashion, and found out that Harajuku Station is the place to visit on a Sunday afternoon. Apparantly, every Sunday, young people dressed in a variety of styles spend the day in Harajuku socializing. The fashion styles of these youths rarely conform to just one style, and are usually a mesh of many!

Definitly one way to beat a Sunday daytime TV!!!

Amazingly super cute necklaces!!

I found these on a small designers website when researching for an article for Platform Magazine for my university.

I want all of these necklaces!! They are all super cute and would add a quirky kitsch look to any simple outfit. It really makes you think twice too about paying out for highstreet jewellery when you see these too. I mean, i wonder how much cheaper it would be to 'borrow' one of your younger brothers lego men and attach him to a cute chain along with some beads and ribbon?!

I may be paying a warm visit to my mum's nursery soon, and not just to visit the children!!...

Tim.

These are just a selection of my favourite images from Tim Walker. I love the mystical, magical feeling of all his photos. He uses wonderful luxury, golden colours, with lighting used so perfectly that the model's face's all seem so soft and fragile, imaging that of a porcelain doll.

My favourite is the image below, it reminds me of growing up; playing in clothes and shoes that were far too big for you, and leading that fun and careless life outdoors in the summer time with friends, in big, wide open greenland. Living in a perfect bubble, yet to come face to face with the big harsh world. The dazed sunset in the background mirrors the end of what would have been a warm, and playful day with those people called My Best Friends.
