Hot in Yellow

Yesterday I decided to do a post about YELLOW! I have been craving colour for the past 18 months and noticed an injection of yellow in the fashion mags & red carpet pics lately. Funnily enough, I haven't worn yellow since I was 12. I wore a yellow Esprit short-sleeved shirt to a birthday party with cobalt blue plastic beads , & my friends started singing "dear little maid in yellow" to me, some song in a play we were doing at school. That was the finish of me and yellow. I felt like a corn cob. Shortly after that I embarked on my 20 year love affair with black, with nary a colour to be seen on my person (apart from vermillion talons, and the odd pair of purple fishnets). Upon moving from chilly London to sunny Sydney in 2000, I rejoiced in the beachy, sexy saturated colour-popping fashion that Sydneysiders do so well. As a good friend says "Sydney is more LA than LA!" It's fun, bright, a bit trashy & a bit flashy. The home of the annual Gay & Lesbian Mardis Gras has to be, really.

Check out my darling friend Ally Grrrl's brand spankers new blog for more SYDNEY COOL! Some fab splashes of yellow here in Sydney's Inner West. One yellow dress that always catches my eye is Michelle Williams' stunning Vera Wang at the Oscars in 2006 was pretty fabulous.

Now back in NZ, I MISS COLOUR! Very few designers here do it right. Often it is more frilly layery frou frou than the tailored colour blocking that I love. So imagine my delight this morning upon waking up to find this little gem (above, Canvas Magazine) in the Sunday paper! Lo and behold - a yellow Tibi dress takes prime position. On telling my friend in London across Viber this morning about this post, she warned me "Ooh, but not everyone can wear yellow can they?"Good point. The general rules are if you are pale skinned, go for darker ochre yellows & mustards. Olive-skinned brunettes suit canary and buttercup brights.I'm still not sure if I'm brave enough to wear yellow, but I am inspired by some of these 2011 Spring & Summer editorial looks!

I Saw Stars

Isabeli Fontana for Dolce & Gabbana

"He hit so hard, I saw stars" Courtney Love sings in 'Hit so Hard' from the brilliant album Celebrity Skin, by Hole. I have a thing about stars. I have a star tattoo, star jewellery, I doodle stars & purchase far too many clothes with stars on the. Stars seem to be a bit fairytale, a bit rock & rock and a bit magical. I'm of Polynesian descent and star navigation guided the first Polynesians to the Pacific islands. I have 5 people in my family. I love sparkly things (typical Libran). So in line with my star fixation I'm loving the celestially divine latest Dolce & Gabbana's latest collection for Fall 2011.
Here are some other past & present star-fashion faves.
