New Mexico...

This is one of my favourite photos from the trip so far.....This was taken a few days ago at the White Sands in New Mexico.

After this we went to a shop off the highway to buy fireworks and the biggest sparklers I've ever seen and lit them in the middle of the desert while listening to the coyotes in the background.

A few photos for Coral: California....

At the Hollywood Bowl and sign lookout... it was a little windy!

The Grauman's Chinese Theatre was so much fun... my hands were a perfect match for Emma Watson, Marilyn Monroe and Bette Davis. My boyfriend's matched Gregory Peck's and Matt Damon's..

A few snaps while walking down Sunset Boulevard, during sunset... it was so pretty.

Sorry for the lacklustre blogging. I'm attempting to write this while driving in an RV on our way to San Francisco...the roads are not fit for blogging here. I'll be sure to upload more photos and videos when I have better internet access. Hope all is well with my lovely blogging friends ♥

Kelly Cutrone in Australia...

via Boy Moments...

I just read on the Vogue Forums that Kelly Cutrone was in Australia for the launch of Gideon Shoes. She also attended book signings and graciously spent several minutes with each of her fans writing them personalised messages...

To say that I'm a little heartbroken is an understatement. I would have hopped on a plane to Sydney with my tattered copy of her book to be signed in a heart beat. If you haven't read her book, I suggest you do. Especially if you're deviating off the school-uni-work-mortgage-etc path (that's just my choice, this is a great choice for many people ♥ ).. basically her book was like listening to my parents advice in reverse.

Not many people are going to really tell you to do what you want with life and mean it. Really they'll most likely suggest the most boring degree to complete (in case you're wondering it's economics) so you can get a stable job (government) at the end of it. But no one will ever tell you that that's so so very boring. Kelly probably would. That's why you should read her book. (Don't bother with Borders, not many physical stores have copies. Try the bookdepository)

Maybe when I'm in New York in a few weeks for my Wikifashion meetup I might run into her? Perhaps I can park my motorhome outside People's Revolution and pop in for a quick chat...(that would be hilarious).

PS. Just looked at the book depository and she has a new book up for pre-order, "Normal Gets You Nowhere").

Wikifashion USA/Canada road trip + meetups

According to the count down in my diary, I'm leaving on my trip in 11 days! That means I need to hop to it with our Wikifashion meetups. We'll be traveling 13,000 kms across Canada and around the USA in a little under a month.

I've decided we'll be having meetups in:

• New York (most likely on the 12th April at Spot Dessert Bar 6:00pm
• San Francisco
• Portland
• Austin

Here's our travel map if you want more details ... or if you want us to organise another meetup!

I'll be writing most of the details here and also on the Wikifashion tumblr. Let me know if you'd like to come, we'll be giving out free Wikifashion bags and a few other goodies. Love to see you there ♥

Join our meetup group for all of our details + RSVP. Once I'm on the road this will be much easier for me to organize and make restaurant bookings...

Wikifashion at SXSW...

Over the weekend Wikifashion was one of the sponsors at the Texas Style Council at SXSW. Unfortunately I wasn't there, I was sleep tight on the other side of the world. But the point is Wikifashion was there! Next year Coen and I will join our totes in Texas ♥

The gorgeous Indiana of Adored Austin was one of the organisers of the event. How cute is that tutu? Gosh next year I'm going, if only to wear cowboy boots and a tutu!

You can see our tote in the middle of the pic...

Found more photos of the bag here and here.

Brisbane Fashion Industry meetup part deux...

Following the success (three people is good going for our first meet) of our first meet, I've just scheduled another meetup for this month. We'll be gathering again at Kerbside Bar on the 28th of this month at 6:30pm.

If you're a blogger (I know there are a few of you in Brisbane!), someone who is just a little curious about fashion or if you are involved in the industry we'd love you to join us...RSVP.
