Just look relaxed, honey
Pipeline have posted a fantastic image demonstrating how exactly to get photographed by The Sartorialist, Scott Schuman himself. It even explains where to go to make sure you run into him (ideally you'd want it to look more like he'd run into you but those are just details).

And they said roses were English..
The new campaign for YSL's Parisienne fragrance has been launched and while the bottle looks fairly familiar (Viktor and Rolf Flowerbomb anyone?) the photo is STUNNING. It's been a while since I've seen Kate Moss look this good. I would give anything for that waist.

It always was a controversial contest...
I've managed to avoid posting on the AusNTM final until now but I read something on the runner up, Cassi, today I found interesting.
Apparently Elite New York have offered her an incredibly lucrative and valuable contract, which she has allegedly refused to take up due to wanting to stay in Sunbury with her boyfriend. A lot of judgement has passed over their age difference, which would be hypocritical of my to comment on considering I am in a similar situation. The only difference being she is two years younger than I was when I first met my partner.
I think it's regrettable she wants to stay in suburbian Melbourne to help her boyfriend set up his bricklaying business instead of taking the amazing opportunity she has laid out in front of her. It seems judge, Charlotte Dawson, was right in voting to Tahnee due to fears Cassi would throw the opportunity away and spend the prize money on her boyfriend.
Fingers crossed second runner up (who in my opinion should have been in the final and should have been the winner) will be offered an international contract. She's got the best of both finalists - professionalism and the body.
There are some interesting articles here, here, here and here.

Exotic Summer
I had lots of fun attending the Forever New S/S 09/10 'Exotic Goddess' season launch at Spice Market last night.
I haven't got any photos of the parade but when I find some I'll post them. Think S/S 09 Gucci, Alexander Wang and Balmain collections though and you'll know where their 'inspiration' came from. Even their campaign shots are very similar to the Gucci campaign concept below:
There were some beautiful dresses that would be perfect for spring racing or weddings. There were lots of maxi dresses as well as short bodycon dresses for the brave. There was one stunning pale green floral maxi-dress for $199 I plan on trying on as soon as it's in store!
I met so many people and saw a few familiar faces. The bar itself is also worth a visit for anyone in Melbourne. The decor is like an Indian palace and although I didn't try the cocktails I've heard they are amazing. Apparently the 'Turkish Delight' cocktail tastes like the real thing. I can't wait to go back!

Campaign Trail
A selection of the newest campaigns:
I have to say, I'm not that impressed so far... it all feels a bit old and repetitive. Campaigns selling clothes this expensive should make you gasp with excitement and start plotting how you can get your hands on some of it. These fail to do that.
