Shut IT down

Rachel Zoe is a top notch gal in my books. Her Old Hollywood look is much more appealing to me than the boho chic look - Nicole can keep that one.
It was inevitable that she would produce a line of her own hence the birth of the Rachel Zoe Collection. Her claims that 'it will be absolutely 100% accesible fashion for sure - for everybody' leaves us with a sign of relief, knowing Zoe's track record for expensive vintage designer taste.

After a quick squizz at the range you can guess that a few followers will be left disapointed, not by the lack of elegant style but 70's chic. Instead the fall range consists of military jackets, wide legged pants, shift dresses, pant suits and an assortment of dresses.

With no retailers set in stone yet then Rachel Zoe Collection is said to share rack space with Marc by Marc Jacobs, Diane Von Furstenberg and Alexander Wang with the price range of $250-$700 - not exactly for everyone but still better than i was expecting.

I also think it's rad that her nappy bag is Alexander McQueen.

Peyote this

Some time ago, some friends and I ventured into Sydney Uni to see the one and only Jim Anderson and his mind blowing art exhibition of past and present creations.

The dude's an absolute riot. He was there to talk to those in awe about the history of the controversial magazine 'Oz' in which played part as co-editor (amongst others) and how it lead to his career as a professional collagist.

For those unaware of 'Oz' magazine, you need to sort out your Australian history knowledge, here's a rundown;

Started as a satirical humour magazine in 1963 on the sunny shores of Sydney, but then hopped the lake to London where it was known as the 'psychedelic hippy mag'.

Oz is now recognised for it's controversial content and images which landed the editors in a few hotspots (jail actually).

I strongly recommend you look into the story of Oz more, it's quite a brilliant story which leaves you feelings like revolting against society in some way or form.

So back to Jim Anderson at Sydney Uni. He was there taking us through painting by painting, collage by collage, peyote trip by peyote trip. The man is quite the cool cat, especially when he got out this traditional outfit and homemade mask/head piece and conducted some ancient dance that he learnt (presumably peyote was involved). Brilliant.
