Sade is the Truth

2009-12-09T14:56:00.000-08:00

I've always been a fan of Sade, having been brought up on her music through my mother. I was ecstatic to hear that she's back with a new single and releasing a new album in February of 2010. Here's a link to Soldier of Love.

Note the trumpets at the beginning..reminscent of Jay- Z love of trumpets..couldv'e sworn after the trumpets, Jay-z would come out saying, "Ladies & Gentlemen, allow me to introduce myself" ;)

Let's be honest...

2009-12-04T10:50:00.000-08:00

Most girls who date boys in bands...pretend to actually enjoy their music. It just makes things easier. Here's Norwegian Annie making it quite clear that she "doesn't like your band". Haha, if we all could be so brave.

Currently playing lovely Aussie band, The Scare-Could be bad (GLOVES Remix)
This remix is kinda reminiscent of fellow Aussies The Presets but with a lighter funkier feel :)

Bloggers, with the exception of few, are notorious for taking meaningless and uninspiring self-photos. I came across Cheap Thrills blogspot and was entertained by the creativity put into her blog from the photos to the music selection. Bottom line..blog worth following. Makes me wish I enrolled in those Photoshop classes at Uni :s

The new Uniqlo campaign has been released starring some familiar faces shaping french pop culture today. I couldn't be anymore thrilled. I've been trying to learn french for what seems like forever (should enroll already) and have been drowning myself in all things, well..french. So, seeing the likes of Mehdi, Sebastien and Hafsi in a campaign makes me want to tip my beret off to Uniqlo in a job well done. Bisous<3

Here in New York primarily for interviews, but can't help in taking advantage of my being here during fashion week. I had the pleasure of attending fashion parties and who can forget FNO aka Fashion Night Out. New York was literally one big playground. So many happenings at the same time posed the night to be a tad overwhelming. I'd made plans to only be here for a week, but I soon found out that using my AA points allowed me the option of changing my departure date at no cost. How was I going to pass up the chance to stay a little longer? I love you, NY:)

Buh bye L.A..hello NY

I'm basically in milan to attend interviews (give it a last go), visit friends, enjoy fashionweek and help out with the John Varvatos show... Thanks to Max, I was able to attend the Armani show where I got to meet Raul Bova..the italian hottie from "Under the Tuscan Sun".I know..horrible movie but back then i was gearing up for my study abroad and wanted to soak in all things italian..Bova was there

My week thus far..

What is milan without their gay friendly fashion parties?...frankie morello where do i start? ;-)

Hussein Chalayan...London-Day 1

2009-01-26T23:55:00.000-08:00

Just arrived in London and although being a little jet lagged, I was whisked away to the Design Museum by my flatmate to catch Hussein Chalayan's exhibition-From fashion and back.

The exhibition is a display of Chalayan's work spanning 15 years. Such intricate and elaborate design ranging pieces featuring swarovski crystals, beaming red lasers, remote control dresses which i like to call the "The Transformers", and LCD multicolor lights. It was truly an exhibition were I found myself in awe, entertained and inspired. This goes without saying, but the models/mannequins were creepishly intriguing...almost too realistic where at one point I felt one was going to jump out at me. :S

Me & Vicky-New flatmate, yay:)
After Thai food at Oxford..found ourselves in Hoxton square..I must add that finding a cab in London is a chaotic experience. Once we finally found a cab and told him the driver the exact address of where we wanted to go, he responds by saying,"i can take you there but you have to tell me when, im not a postal carrier love".Who says that??Apparently he didn't quite understand his job description.

2009-01-21T13:47:00.000-08:00

One thing I'm truly excited about being in London is no longer having to deal with currency exchange/shipping when ordering from topshop. Topshop's SS09 is screaming buy me all over it. Excited about the overlays, shredding, pale denim, and sweats.

Goodbye to LALAland. Hello London. Spending the week with friends & family, as well as taking in this freakishly warm weather we’re having.To be honest, I'm kind of glad to be leaving. Oh L.A, how love and loathe thee. Do take care during my absence.

It's that time again..Fashion Week

2009-01-11T23:28:00.000-08:00

So sad I can't return to Milan during this Mens' Fashion week. There's a special aura in Milan during fashion week that I thrive off.Here come the lost models on the tram, parties, Japanese blog staff asking what you are wearing, open bar, and so much more:) Looking back, the s/s 09 shows left me wanting more & more (fashion week experiences that is).

Can't go to Milan because of a man I can't stand...the dentist. Root canal surgery has me stuck in LA. Oh what fun :S

London's calling

2009-01-11T23:15:00.001-08:00

London's Calling. Leave next week from LA. Excited, nervous, anxious and ready. There's something calming about leaving what you know to explore elsewhere even if you technically arrive unemployed (where frantic plays in). But glad to have sorted out a flat arrangement. Thanks Vicky;)

whatever happened to Jamie T?

2009-01-11T22:22:00.000-08:00

Currently channeling Gucci. But those who know the horrible long story of my 'infamous' Gucci disappointment would find it ironic that I'm here dressing Gucci-esque.In a nutshell, had a contract to intern with Gucci in Milan, but visa complications got the best of me and the job! :(..what do they say? when one window closes another opens..?

Think i may need to ring a mechanic..this window is taking a while to open..

First and foremost, Pharmacy 'the shop' doesn't entail any drugs of any sort, sorry guys;) Also known as PHCY. PHCY is an Italian streetwear brand. If you're in the Porta Ticenese area, visit Alberto and tell him Taj sent you;) For my LA people, Ticenese is like the Melrose of Milan.

Proenza Dellal?

Alice Dellal

Looking at the Proenza Schouler Spring09 collection, I couldn't help but to notice their inspiration: Alice Dellal. IF you don't know, Alice Dellal, model/it-girl (if that's even a vocation), is known for her distinct grunge style entailing crop tops, leather, red lips and sideswept hair. I personally love this direction PS is going in.

LA FLASH @ LACMA

2008-09-08T10:42:00.000-07:00

LA FLASH-is a multimedia celebration of the streets of Los Angeles and its street style during the epic 70s. In an effort to escape the Hollywood 'scene', Naomi and I have decided to stick with galas and lounges. It was cool to see that LaLaland has not really changed with its constant revival of denim vests, fringe, paisely, prarie dresses and cowboy boots (just another day along melrose)

I gave in
