wet dream

I would like to introduce you to Ash Stymest. I first layed eyes on this beautiful creature when I was working for American Apparel. EY! Electric Youth magazine was one of my favourites to read when I was pretending to be really busy.


SWOOOOOOOON!

Is it hot in here? I'm feeling flushed...

I then spotted him in the December 2008 issue of Dazed and Confused, topless and sprawled across a bear skin rug.

He has graced the pages of plenty of magazines including, Vogue Italia, Attitude, Huge Magazine, Vogue Japan Homme, and i-D.

When I saw this editorial in Dazed and Confused I totally lost my shit and became completely and utterly mesmerised... I desperately needed to know who he was.

He's a youngen... 17 I think...

Couple more footy seasons and he will be ripe for the picking! (said in a creepy old woman voice) Eeek, I even scare myself sometimes.

Ash ain't just an incredible looking kid, apparently he has the strut to go with the cheekbones. This infant has walked for Hedi Slimane, Balenciaga and Costume National. It's a sight to behold people, let me tell you!

Even his polaroids are to die for. What a gorgeous gorgeous gorgeous thing he is!!!

I just don't know what else to say about this boy other than...

AAAHHH!

MAAAHHH!

GAAADDD!

To clog or not to clog?

Recently I made the mistake of telling my friends about my obsession to find the perfect pair of clogs.

Upon hearing this idea, every one of them have displayed an extremely repulsed facial expression. This look of horror is usually accompanied by unkind words about my mental health...

I have been quick to reassure them all that I am NOT talking about purchasing the monstrosity that is the 'Croc'.

Are they burning your retinas yet?

So much rubber-

-so many colours!

This heinous excuse for footwear is usually reserved for overweight American tourists, grumpy chefs, scummy mummies, and our favourite little blue friends The Smurfs!

NOT FOR ME!

The type of clog I am in fact referring to is something along the lines of these sturdy studded stilt-like stompers. Sure, the Chanel Spring 2010 Collection footwear were a little OTT, but in Karl Lagerfeld I trust. I've always been quite partial to an eye catching statement shoe. These remind me of a pair I had in primary school in the early 90's, but without the platform heel of course.

These more cobblestone street friendly

versions are (probably more likely to find their way onto my tootsies, for I am one clumsy lady) from the Swedish brand Hasbeens. The full range can be found for a fraction of the price of Karl's on their website listed in my links section.
