Baby Posh Spice Baby

It's Halloween but I'm missing out on all the parties this year as I'll be in Sydney for the weekend! Not stopping me from celebrating just a little, Baby Posh Spice style, like if they were cross bred...

vintage versace dress from kenji tokyo (favourite vintage store), opening ceremony x adidas shoes, sretsis bag, A land nail tattoos

Christmas came early, my boy got me these opening ceremony x adidas bad boys!! VOMM. Just been living in them since, goes with anything I sweeeeeaaaarrrrr.

On another note, I know you guys will be a little forgiving about going over the edges with the nails! I have to say that these are the easiest type of nail deco I have used and I've tried all types of stickers and pens... I got them from A land in Korea and I like how you can use them on your skin as well as they're just mini temporary tattoos! 

Don't despair there are tons of things on ebay and here, on rad nail's site, who have super cool nail art ideas that incorporate your fingers too! I'm also dying to get some Hex Nail Jewelry which is next level shizzz. Has anyone tried to make their own temporary tattoos? Please share!

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!

Thank you for the friends so far! :) Don't know why I haven't posted about my Rodarte shorts scored off the opening ceremony sale as of now! I had to lace them up again so the tie would be up the top, other than that, I really enjoyed the cute little temp tattoos it came with. My lips go brown in gifs WAH!?

Alright if you haven't drooled over these yet; new wave of OC shoes! I bet you can already guess which ones I got dibs on...

OFFENDID

During the deadly OC sales, I willingly gave into temptation! But it's always a joy receiving the package; makes you feel like you were really there, everything's wrapped up, in an OC bag and all.

But on another note, some readers were offended by this UNIF shirt I recently posted about. It's not a swastika and I am in no way a facist, neo-nazi or intolerant of other races, ethnicity, cultures, beliefs (if you know me at all). Within its context, it's a parody and I agree it can pack in a bit of punch for some, especially obscured by a jacket.

Led me to think about the adoption of symbols by entities and the resulting meaning or stigma associated:

Take the swastika; it dates back to ancient India as well as ancient Greece and Rome. Before the persecution of millions under this emblem, it was used to bring good luck or ward off evil. Despite reprenting violence, evil and death to Western cultures, the swastika is still widely used in Eastern religions such as Hindusim (symbolizing the path in heaven of the sun god) and Buddhism (meaning eternity).

Let's not forget the pop pop peace sign, or rather, Nero's cross or the Teutonic rune of death. Nero (5th roman emperor), who despised Christians, crucified the Apostle Peter on a cross head downward. Nero believed that there would be world peace without Christianity and thousands of Christians were martyred under the rule of Nero. Hence, considered an anti-christian sign and later associated with satanism, it was also claimed to have communist and Nazi connotations. In Rudolf Koch's Book of Signs it explains the downward pointed fork represents the death of man and placed in the circle the symbol means the total death of all people. Apparently, the hand signal began as a symbol of Satanic benediction during rituals, um, so, be right back...

So a lot people imply meaning without understanding its history, and that's where the intention of harmless parody comes into effect, for me, (also because of UNIF's use of aged, soft cotton). All in all, that's only my own opinion but if I have offended or upset you, I hope this clears the air a tad.

Yello?

$300 later and looking like a real boy...

How much do you love the new pony hair darci boots!?

So I already have my eye on the really really tall jemma docs as well

Also, I'm tossing up between the opening ceremony clogs or the doc martens. I think I'll get more wear out of the latter and they are more friendly to my dear bank account...however, the former are still very special! I guess I have made up my mind, just wanting people to justify my decision!
