the apple doesn't fall far from the coconut tree

I grew up listening to the Rolling Stones.

I was named after Mick Jagger's daughter Jade, my sister...Angie, after the famed song.

If their albums weren't blaring at our house, then my mum wasn't home.

To me, The Stones, are the epitome of cool - Jagger a playboy rock n' roll icon, Keith Richards (to me and most likely me only) the most charming and style savvy 60+ year old going around. I actually shed tears when I heard Richards had fallen out of a tree whilst climbing for coconuts a few years back...such was my devastation at the thought of him leaving this world.

So I'm sure it comes as no surprise to find out that I am equally as obsessed with the offspring of the Stone's men. I've blogged about Georgia May Jagger before but it's Theodora Richards that has really got my heart these days. Where Georgia Jagger has the pillow lips and doe-eyed look that men so desperately fall for, Theodora Richards has the less obvious charm and the looks that you need to go searching a little harder for.

Her style is mostly glam rock but is masked with the offbeat, gritty style, that only her father can pull of.

Oh how I wish papa was a rolling stone...

once upon a time

Once upon a time in a faraway magical land Tavik launched their spring/summer 09-10 swimwear collection with a photoshoot of Sports Illustrated proportions...minus the beach.

Their range comes complete with frills and bows a plenty, cut outs in all the right places if you're six foot five and curvy, all the basic colours of the rainbow and a few pairs of mickey mouse ears to boot. Ain't nothing like a cartoon character to bring out your inner sex kitten right?

Which brings me to the conclusion that Disney will never get old. Street fashion the world over has been taking a leaf out of Walt Disney's story books for years now and will undoubtedly continue to do so. I myself am on the hunt for a vintage minnie mouse tshirt I parted ways with years ago.....oh the sadness.

Here's hoping I find what I'm looking for and live happily ever after.

The END.
