a huge shout-out to the lovely susie bubble who featured not one but two of my clients on her blog earlier today. enter aussie accessory brand benah + berlin-based art/culture bible, 032c. the story is about susie's ten-piece assortment of ipad cases, all of which she uses as clutch bags (she doesn't even own an ipad). take that fashionista's!

christmas wishes to my aussie posse...

wishing you all the brightest of days filled with love, laughter and sunshine galore. this shot was taken last year in a great place named victor harbor, just outside of adelaide where i spent my summers in oz. pure aussie goodness!!

christmas in los angeles..

i love the idea of santa and his reindeer flying through the air as much as anyone but i've never really been a big christmas buff, maybe even moreso after living in a place like america where the holiday season takes on a whole new level. different strokes for different folks. that said, this christmas is all about bringing focus and clarity for 2012 so i'm enduring my second-ever juice cleanse, teamed with nightly 1970s movie marathons, three-hour hikes each morning, acupuncture, meditation and a bunch of other activities that are, quite simply, nourishing my soul and enhancing my focus for a kick-ass year ahead that's sure to bring big changes (hint hint). just sayin'..

quote of the day...

loving: jody barton's orange-zine in the latest issue of apartamento...

big-ups to my ol' italiano mate marco velardi and the apartamento gang for enlisting brit illustrator jody barton to create an ultra-cool "i feel orange" zine as an ode to the palette in their latest issue. freaky friday's and sunshine family goodness, who doesn't want an extra dose of that in their lives? jody barton for president y'all!!

can we agree that madonna's flick isn't that bad after all? i'd go another few rounds in refining the script but let's throw madge a bone, shall we? the costumes are epic - arianne phillips, naturally - and i particularly loved andrea riseborough in the role of wallis simpson. basically we all know the love story here: the man who gave up the throne for the woman he loved but what about what the woman gave up? i wouldn't rush to see this but i definitely wouldn't discount it and importantly, i'll go another W.E viewing over 'my week with marilyn' any day.



um, can we start with viggo mortensen and how incomparably hot this man is? thumbs up for cronenberg and his savvy cast comprising michael fassbender and keira knightley, she who runs the gamut between sigmund freud and carl jung in the most psychologically-disturbing of ways.

marie claire shout-out!!

molto grazie to marie claire for including me in their style file profile in their latest issue...

because we heart woody & PBS...

because nothing floats my boat these days as much as an awe-inspiring documentary on a great filmmaker. brought to us by the brilliant public broadcasting service in USA, do yourself a favor and set aside a solid four hours in your schedule ASAP to learn the ins and outs of woody allen. follow the links on PART ONE and PART TWO. hats off to the man behind my personal faves, "bullets over broadway" and "hannah and her sisters."
