and again.


i just had a moment of heidi rosenau obsession, and after reading that she is a swing dancer i just had to find out more about her. here's a clip of her dancing with her partner joe. she's so divine.



and here's an article that names her as one of the most stylish new yorkers.
yes she is.

heidi rosenau again.

from sally jane vintage. who rocks the itty bitty onesie.


skirt

but this might be my favourite - quincy's pretty hen print romper with matching skirt.
oh the jealousy.

the look.


i love clive rundle. i think he's probably one of the most original and imaginative south african fashion designers.

i really like how badly-crazy this editorial from elle SA was scanned in or photographed from the magazine to be posted online... i assume by the man himself. it really adds to the actual shoot somehow.

changeling.


directed by clint eastwood. genius.
set in the late 20's, and, towards the end, the first half of the 30's. angelina jolie really does look amazing, i'll give her that. such a beautiful film, also so sad. makes me want to take a vacation in the twenties. only a vacation mind, and a shopping trip perhaps. because i like my women's rights. men could be bastards back then.
