The week (and a bit) that was

 Found some sweet eye-liner images which I plan to try out soon

 This one is actually quite wearable, I think.

 A little more extreme, but still doable :)

 Toxic Vision studded leather shorts - so amazing, and loving the exposed zip

I designed/made some trousers for my graduate collection with an exposed metal zip like this

and my tutor thought it was quite vulgar

I guess he has a sick mind

 Re-discovering the local sushi place near work

Not cheap, but boy is it good!

 I would never get a tattoo (fear of needles and every-day need to change into something new)

but this one is so clever

 The key to my heart

 Found this, on cool-hunter I think, what a romantic date idea

 MORE MOET!

 Galaxy nail foils - not sure where from, but I WANTTTTTT

 Me looking super conservative for no apparent reason

 New Revlon minty pastel colour

 New favourite make-up brand

so insane! The creativity!!!

 My mum could feed an army with her Karage chicken!

 It's all about the shoes...

 Pre-summer splurge

Seafolly bikini top from DJ's, $110

Now I need to find plain orange/coral bottoms

 Who says a smoky eye has to be black?

 Louis Vuitton rain boots - I die

Kind of way grey hair now

and pink eyebrows

Just sayin'

Happy weekend everybody!

Love,

Wear + Tear.

Quote of the day: Daphne Guiness [roast]

"If I eat, I can't work. I'll eat when I'm dead."

-Daphne Guinness to the New Yorker.

Yeah? Great plan lady!

Just don't eat!

Pretty sure I'm at work right now, and I'm eating pizza shapes, and everything's still fine!

If you can't eat and get shit done, you've got issues bitch!

Maybe you're just referring to the perils of multi-tasking.

You need to get with the times and eat some celery sticks [or in my case, sushi], while sms-ing 4 close friends on your "lunch-break", whilst watching an episode of HawthoRNe and reading 3 trash mags.

If you can't do all that at once, what kind of woman ARE you?!

And your infamous motto?

"Nothing tastes as good as skinny feels"

Well, you're WRONG!

You clearly haven't tasted anything from the FUN aisle of the supermarket!

And I'm sure your bony ass feels like a plastic shopping bag filled with scrap metal.

Just get back on your stilt shoes [Gaga shits on you by far in the shoe department anyway],

scrape back your manky grey rat hair,

slap on some talc-esque face powder + tranny shadow,

AND SHUT YOUR PIE-HOLE!

Love,

Wear + Tear.

JC X Solestruck: In development

Wow. How exciting!

JC sent these samples to Solestruck. Exclusive prints + fabrics in

some of the most popular new shapes

I especially like the floral wedge and the blue lace looking wedge

it's all about chunky, clunky shoes right now

Creepers are back with a vengeance

I don't have any...yet

Love,

Wear + Tear.

Glitter-up - IT'S FRIDAY!

Versus A/W 11

Oh boy! Oh boy do I love a glitter heel!

HAPPY FRIDAY!

May your weekend be filled with heels, glitter + fun!

Love,

Wear + Tear.

1st alphabetically, 1st in my books: 3.1 Phillip Lim

This collection was inspired by kites, which is evident in the flow and geometry of the shapes

These sorbet hues are something different

Other designers have been quite bold with their hues and it's nice so see a slight deviation from the mean

I love the white blazer, that's got about 2% lime for that Summery bright white

And the trio of citrus yellow, acid apricot and bright lavender violet

It's toxic, yet subdued

Summer's on it's way!

Love,

Wear + Tear.

p.s. here are some detail shots

The Sky's The Limit

Happy Monday everyone!

so... got a spare grand in your pocket?

Like towering over everyone you meet?

Have impeccable balance and poise like Lady Gaga?

Then here's the shoe for you!

Simply named "116-105" by Finsk and available

from solestruck.com, this shoe is the shit!

It looks like an architectural structure from every angle

I don't think comfort is even an issue when purchasing a shoe such as this

Would you wear these spine-tingling towers?

I would ;)

Love,

Wear + Tear.
