WHAT HAPPENS IN VEGAS STAYS IN VEGAS






As they say, what happens in Vegas stays in Vegas - but what if we could share with full discretion and glimpse into the hidden lives of the people around you?


This was Candy Chang's starting point of her public art project 'Confessions'. Candy lived in Las Vegas for a month and turned her gallery into a contemplative place for people to share their secrets anonymously  but openly. Over 1500 confessions were collected about sex, love, fear and dying alone and I love the idea that this exhibition was a way for members of society to help realise that they are not alone with problems that they face and there's other people with similar 'quirks'. 



Yep, unbelievably deep and maybe a little bit gay?!.... But even so, I genuinely think the exhibition is beaut.

FOR THE LOVE OF GOD








Images - Vogue
This is the Autumn/Winter 2013-14 collection by Alexander Wang.

- Interesting cuts, leather trimmings, a-symmetric zips, panelling, monochrome colours, men's tailoring, chunky knitwear - 

I genuinely think this couldn't be any more my style. 

 Now, I fully understand that right now I don't go anywhere remotely sophisticated enough to wear any of this. However, when it becomes that time in my life where I am no longer clinging to the corner of Stealth with a distant yet excited look in my eyes (we've all been there) and wearing only items I can afford with a very low student budget, my wardrobe will look something like this. For now though, on the high street, Zara are absolutely nailing it! They're offering the likes of me a way to delve into the latest trends in fast fashion without having to take out an interesting sized bank loan.

Monday Musings









These fresh, beautiful photographs are part of the new look book for Planet Blue - a brand that stay true to the sunny spirit of California. This is some of the sleekest, well groomed styling I have ever seen PB launch, as they normally tend to go for a more folk, fringed look. Now it's just time to move to L.A, adopt the care-free lifestyle and immerse myself in all of these gorgeous items!
