This post is actually a continuation of my last post, Instagram + Statigram = Insta Heaven, in which I waxed philosophic about the amazingness that is Instagram. But what started me down this track was not so much Instagram (IG), but Aussie blogger and IGer @fatmumslim who started the #photoaday challenge on Instagram via her [...]

G&G in Sydney Morning Herald!

A big thank you to my Sydney-based friend Jamie who spotted this in The Sydney Morning Herald and shared it with me. Even with the misspelling of my name (who can blame them, it is bizarre) and the fact that I don’t live in New York (I am deliberately evasive), I’m still HUGELY flattered to [...]

Looks started small (think [...]

RAFW S/S 2010-11 Day 2 Highlights

The fashion hysteria in Sydney at Rosemount Australian Fashion Week (RAFW) is in full swing. Street peepers and uber-famous bloggers (Scott and Garance) are snapping away, the music is pumping, and the fashpack is tweeting as fast as their manicured little fingers will allow.

RAFW S/S 2010-11 Day 1 Highlights

I’m sure my American readers are looking at that title, that curious string of digits and letters wondering what it all means. I’ll tell you what it means: it’s one of the best weeks of the year Down Under. It’s the 15th year of Rosemount Australian Fashion Week (RAFW) in Sydney, and all those awesome [...]
