Alien chic?

I just had to post this when I saw it…

[from Style Discovery]

The aliens have landed at Perth Fashion Week (aka Jamie Lee’s collection). They could put Elle from Legally Blonde to shame. Like, ohmygodyouguys!

Great to see loads of fashion bloggers being invited to the shows this year, enough for a feature on the ABC?? Congratulations!

Ahoj Zara!

Aussies…

Zara is coming to Australia!

It’s been confirmed that it will open in 2011 in Sydney… Hooray fashionistas!

So now Sydney has Topshop, is soon to have Zara and might just get H&M sometime soon…my next question is…when are they coming to Adelaide??

NAAG

OMG.

Agyness Deyn as a Creative Director?

Yes please!

NYC style is hot wherever you go (Gossip Girl…sigh) but we often forget that it comes with that New York sense of humour and a particular attitude to life that’s part kitsch, part chutzpah and part ‘so now’.

There’s no better exhibit of this than NAAG, the new online fashion mag started up by besties Fiona Byrne and Agyness Deyn.

For example:

They’re writing about New York fashion, shopping, food and culture through the eyes of them and their friends.

You know, like a reality tv show, except with more of the info and less of who totally served it up to who at the frozen yoghurt place yesterday.

NAAG. It’s totally now.

Bloglovin’

You might have noticed a new icon in the sidebar…

Ever since I started reading fashion blogs I’ve had the problem of how to keep track of them. There’s so many amazing blogs out there that even the favourites bar doesn’t cut it.

Then someone put me onto Bloglovin‘, which syndicates all of the blogs into the one page, leaving me to pick what I want to read out of all the new updates. Much, MUCH easier.

So now that I have a blog of my own, I’ve put it on bloglovin’ – if you’re on there, follow me! =)

Miranda//Miranda

Who’s that girl?

Would you believe me if I said it was Miranda Kerr?

This is a still from the disturbingly sexy, badass short film by Greg Kadel for Numero. If you don’t know his name, check out his work – incredible shoots for Vogue, Harper’s Bazaar and Numero, amongst others.

Go and watch the film at runway comms. (One of my new fave Adelaide blogs btw!)

Wow.

the first step to fame

Everyone has to start somewhere. For most people in the entertainment biz who end up in front of a camera, that start is as an extra.

There’s a South Aussie film being produced called ‘The Thing about Dolphins’ and they’re looking for extras.

It’s one day of filming on June 20 at Wayville Showgrounds and they need 100 people. Don’t worry, it’s not just some random thing – they’re supported by the SA Film Corp and Media Resource Centre.

It should be fun, so check out the details and register!

An aside

Like it or not, because of the choice of clothes available to us the way we dress is one of the ways we use to communicate. What I love about fashion is that freedom to express yourself through what you wear.

So I find it hard to take the argument that ‘we should ban the burqa because nobody should be able to use it to say they’re different’ from a woman wearing half the Eiffel tower around her neck.

save the date

I have it on good authority that Adelaide Fashion Weekend will be October 9-10.

Put it in your diary now now now! <3

We Want Florence!

We all know (and love) Florence and the Machine.

Unfortunately in her upcoming tour of Australia she’s doing the usual big name thing and skipping Adelaide.

We can’t keep taking this! And a petition has been started on Facebook to get her to come and visit us…

Wield your ‘like’ power for good and sign it here!

colour me amazed

This is just a quick message to say thanks.

Thanks to everyone who’s supported caughtcouture so far – it’s been one whole month since I started writing properly and over 500 hits! It’s so exciting!

Hope you’ll stay tuned, I have a LOT of cool content planned. And yes, as Adelaide’s first streetstyle blog, you may see me scouting on the streets of Adelaide for the fashion forward…so please dress up! (But make sure you do it when I have my camera on me as there are FAR too many outfits I’ve missed because of that :P )

You can stay updated via Facebook (when I get the feed working properly) or by signing up for an email newsletter (on the right).

In thanks, here’s the spread which has been gracing my desktop…
