TEAM TACTICS

Sporty, tick. B & W, tick. Leather, tick. Leopard, tick. 

Due to my lack of retail therapy at the moment (saving sucks!), I have been indulging in fake shopping and outfit curating on polyvore.  

Can't wait to go beast mode in Hong Kong. Safe to say I will need another suitcase to get it all home.

JUXTAPOSE

In our current world of photoshop and digital retouching, I have come across some true artistry - the work of Irish photographer Richard Mosse. Using a special type of infrared film, he has captured these shots of the Democratic Republic of Congo. 

The country is plagued by violence with rebels fighting the military on a daily basis. I'm blown away by the juxtaposition of the soldiers and people of the Congo, against these breathtaking landscapes of hot pink, crimson and lavender. Both stunning and haunting in equal measure. 

Check out the rest of his work here.

GOOD SPORT

Sport luxe is one of those trendy terms thats been thrown around regularly for the past few seasons. There's nothing new about sportwear influencing fashion, yet right now, the line between the two is so blurred its virtually non-existant.  

Trainers outside the gym no longer make you look like your channelling Jerry Springer, but actually lift your fashion cred considerably. And wearing an oversized basketball jersey (with heels no less) is totally acceptable. 

Here are some of my fav looks of late. Happy Hump Day.

Pretty Mother F*cker

This is a PMF post.... Coz it's all about A$VP at the moment. 

I don't know how I am supposed to wait until June 29th for the concert. 

I'm obsessed with the 3.1 Phillip Lim leather sweatshirt. "SonoMama" means "As you are" or "As it is". 

And I'm also coming up with ideas for my next ink-ling. I'm thinking David Bailey photograph-inspired skulls and roses on my upper thigh.... PMF indeedy.
