The Jacket

Today’s look post revolves around a jacket, a jacket full of zig-zag patterns and colourful African colours. I’m not really sure what to write about this jacket to make this post particularly interesting or somewhat educational… So as you can see in you’re right hand corner, right from the good-looking jacket, there is a dog, which you wouldn’t have noticed otherwise, why? Because this jacket is so damn patterny and colourful that you didn’t have time to notice the fluffy Alsatian who was prowling over the wall and waiting for the right opportunity to steel my beautiful jacket.

Swaying to the rhythm of nomadic orchestra, the removal of her glamorous faux fur coat reveals no shirt, but only tape that covers what needs to be covered. This is the product of the beautiful organized dust covered mess referred to as oppikoppi, a four day festival where I have lost my will to live and found it again all in one go.

A few festival inspired looks, and a few festival photos...

Again in L.A., again at the Continental Hotel.. full of pills and club sandwiches and Old Crow and now a fifth of Lois Martini Barbera, looking down from the eleventh floor balcony at a police ambulance screaming down toward the Whiskey-a-Go-Go on the Strip, where I used to sit in the afternoon and talk with off-duty hookers.. and while I was standing there, watching four flower children in bell-bottom pants, two couples, hitch-hiking toward Holly-wood proper, a mile
or so up the road... they noticed me looking down and waved. I waved, and moments later, after pointing me out to each other, they hoisted the "V" signal - and I returned that. And one of them yelled, "What are you doing up there?' And I said, "I'm writing about all you freaks down there on the street."

There is a big festival around the corner and you want to be the baddest best dressed bitch in town, hoping to drag a long string of fashion bloggers at the ankles of your feet, leaving them on the side of the curb in a paralyzed awe of your inspirational wonder. Only problem is your bank account is already drained due to the festival ticket, preparations, tent, toilet paper etc. Well do not fret, a recent collaboration with a company called Dresslink delivered a favourable solution to this dilemma. Situated in Hong Kong with the website available at your fingertips, they aim to deliver clothes at very affordable prices. From gypsy inspired rompers to more cut down sleek dresses. It was a breeze to style the clothes that was sent to me due to its versatility in style.

Whenever you go out-of-doors, draw the chin in, carry the crown of the head high, and fill the lungs to the utmost, drink in the sunshine, greet your friends with a smile, and put soul into every handclasp. Do not fear being misunderstood and do not waste a minute thinking about your enemies. Try to fix firmly in your mind what you would like to do, and then without veering off direction, you will move straight to the goal. Keep your mind on the great and splendid things you would like to do, and then, as the days go gliding away, you will find yourself unconsciously seizing upon the opportunities that are required for the fulfilment of your desire, just as the coral insect takes from the running tide the element it needs. Thought is supreme. Preserve a right mental attitude - the attitude of courage, frankness, and good cheer. To think rightly is to create. All things come through desire and every sincere prayer is answered. We become like that on which our hearts are fixed. Carry your chin in and the crown of your head high. We are gods in the chrysalsis
