what do barbie and abbey lee kershaw have in common?

I remember a time when, the nineties lost its cool and style was most definitely not in the form of dip dyed coloured hair.

Fast forward to the year of two thousand and ten however and the nineties have returned with a vengeance, thanks to the likes of Abbey Lee Kershaw, championing highlights of pink and blue (much to my disdain).

I haven't toyed with this idea since I last played with my Malibu Barbie. And we all know Barbie is no barometer for all things reality, especially if her size zero waist and ample bust are anything to go by.

Forget the dye I say, we should all just make like Alexander Wang and plait our hair instead or sport a bohemian braid with a side of daisies. Better yet, let's burn our brushes and wear tousled bed hair with pride. I'm sure Barbie and Abbey Lee won't approve but at least we don't need to colour coordinate our hair with our flare.

New York, New York Mercedes Benz Fashion week....oh what I would do to be there.

To be there, standing side by side Jen Brill, Erin Wasson, Abbey Lee Kershaw, Carine Roitfeld, Alexa Chung, Philip Lim, MK and Ashley, Diane Von Furstenberg, Dasha Khukova, Nate Lowman, the list could go on forever but instead I sit here on the other side of the world, perusing snap after- after party snap, dreaming away.

Alexander Wang, Charlotte Ronson, Preen and Yigal Azrouel consist of my favourites thus far. Now back to that dream...

maciek me a pretty picture

New York based photographer Maciek Kobielski has one of those portfolios that you just can't seem to drag your eyes away from. He has photographed some of the most beautiful women in the world, cue the likes of Chloe Sevigny, Caroline Murphy, Abbey Lee Kershaw and Carmen Kass. His clean lines and minimalism make it almost look easy but from what I have read about his works the guy is quite simply a genius. And whilst his name may be a handful to pronounce, his photographs are nothing short of stunning to view.
