psychosomatic addict insane

Got some splendid new things to post about in the next week; including a look at the latest collection from ultra lovely Melbourne label TV along with a few words from designer Ingrid Verner on the inspiration behind it all.

In addition, I have managed to get a hold of the band folk at Little Red to share a few thoughts on their recent tour de force of the UK...yes they have managed to survive in one piece, kudos to them. And lastly fashion photographer Elvina Mae (to whom I am a large fan) has kindly donated some time to answering a few of my questions.

Worked a death-becomes-her 13 hour day yesterday and despite the aches running rife through my body I managed to drag myself off to Revolver (yes revolver of all places) in the wee small hours of the morning to catch my sister's boyfriend's DJ set.

You can ch-check out his stuff at www.myspace.com/kraymermusic

Managed to muster up the strength to snap a few photos while I was out, all the while enjoying the sounds emitting through the place, including an epic remix of the Prodigy's Breathe. Brought back so many memories of my rebellious youth (and their amazing set at Big Day Out earlier this year).

So until next week, I part ways with the wise words...go forth and drink merrily this Saturday 19th of December, i know i will be :)

psychosomatic addict insane - Breathe by the Prodigy

well heeled to increase your happy

Sometimes some days are worse than others and when you have those days you need a little something to pick you up. For me that little something usually involves chocolate and peppermint tea in abundance.

Sometimes however all it takes is a glimpse of something shiny, something structured in perfection, something that should be placed in a museum not laid to rest in a closet, something you know will make you instantly taller, something you know will attract attention. In this instance that little something just so happens to be a SHOE (or should that be SHOES?)

A Nicolas Kirkwood Spiderweb heel to be exact. Last spotted on Mary Kate Olsen in all its amazing glory at Fashions' Night Out in NYC.

Oh and then there is a little something by way of Finsk. A gold fish scale shoe boot so shiny and divine I can barely look at it.

And lastly (and yes I do realise this was part of his last season collection) may I introduce you to Alejandro Ingelmo's well heeled creation, as spotted and fawned over ever since in UK Grazia.

Yes they all brightened up my day and increased my happy ten fold. Dip them in chocolate and we may have ourselves the answer to anyone's problems...
