VANS X HELLZ BELLZ
I haven't copped kicks in a while because I really haven't seen anything that floats my boat, and I'm kind of still fuming that I missed the Lacoste Hironia (MTTM)...
Generally I hate Vans, this has been blogged numerous times - mainly because in Australia every Surry Hills based 'artist' wears a uniform which sadly includes these safely mediocre foot muffs. It's safe to say that practically 90% of the Vans wearing population in Sydney are a) a budding musician b) a budding artist c) has a rockabilly tattoo of sorts d) has a mustache and e) wears their jeans spray on and d) has an award winning collection of plaid picnic blanket shirts.
BUT - when Vans branches out and collabs with a killer brand like Hellz the result is absolutely wonderous! These boots are absolute sexy time and are so reasonably priced at $85 a pop. I love the zipper details as well as the eyelets which remind me of our good old friend the Timberland. It's been a while since I've worn anything but kicks (work wear exempt) but these are something I would love to rock.
I will mos def be grabbing them (hopefully). Insano in the braino.

I QUIT MY JOB!
I'm leaving MTV to go and work at Socialista media which includes the very cool properties:
2threads
(fashion community)
Thiswayin
(parties, events, reviews, social snaps et al)
Estile
(flash sale site for designer rags)
Check em all out! I'll be calling the shots in the sales department and hopefully contributing to the growth of the little guy. I start on Feb 1st so I have a few more weeks left at MTV before the big move.
I'm sad to say goodbye to MTV who've been epic amazing to me over the last 18 months, and who I've met so many talented peeps through - but the time has come for a new challenge for me which is bound to involve less Jaegar!
I HAVE BEEN BUSTING TO ANNOUNCE THIS FOR WEEKS! xo

MADEME FLORAL LEATHER MOTORCYCLE JACKET
I seriously shouldn't be shopping, esp when I go back to The States in a month from today... BUT... When Erin from MadeMe did a tweet-out last week saying the leathers were on sale then I had to bounce on it.
SO I SCORED THIS FUCKING SICK JACKET WHICH I HAVE WANTED FOR SOOOO LONG!
I am like a puppy waiting for the postman and as soon as it lands in my hot (and sweaty) little hands I am going to go to the bottle shop and stand in the walk in beer fridge and vogue the fuck out of this between the cartons of grog. I NEVER thought I would be begging for winter to come early but daym I wana wear this so bad.

NAILS DID
WOOP WOOP! New amazing mani from my man at Sleek Nails
I took in a piccie I found on this fine webosphere somewhere and he replicated it beautifully! I think they are very Miami-grandma - think visors, pink perms and gold glasses chains.

HOMEMADE HEADWEAR
Devotee's of my way of life aka readers of this fine publication will know that I occasionally like to dabble into crafternoon and whip up some weird and wonderful head-wear with whatever I come across at the $2 shop..
Well I finally decided to rock out one of last years creations at Days Like This Festival over the weekend (which was dope).
It attracted me a lot of attention on the day (success) as well as after the fact when I posted this amazoid picture on Facey which was taken by my friend Smipsy.
The bandana print material was actually the hem I cut from THIS dress which I scored circa one year ago in sweet SF at a thrift store on Divisidero.
I also wore the Nike acid wash shorts I have been harping on about with denim air max 90's and a white singlet cropped into a half shot. Don't think I was sober enough to get a full length snap. Shame.

NEW PURCHASES AND PARTIES
Look what I scored on eBay!
It's going to look dope with my Nike acid wash denim shorts
If it arrives by Friday (which I'm doubting, but praying for none the less...) then maybe I will rock it out at the first Halfway Crooks for 2010 which is this sat night! Bound to be big, nay, fucking huge. Sorry liver. Sorry mum.

BACK TO THE STATES I GO
So I'm heading back to The States next month and fuck this trip has crept up on me. All of a sudden I'm on a 5 weeks count down with zero clams to my name post Christmas and a hell of a lot of shit to sort out before I depart.
I'm flying in and out of SF, and heading to Vegas and NYC in between. I've gone and booked myself some damn sketchy domestic flights and am scoping out the whole accoms thing now.
When I was in NYC in August I used the site Airbnb and rented a guys apartment in the LES. It was actually fucking awesome and the site feels safer than that old rapist Craigslist because you actually pay through the site rather than randomly trusting unauthorised sources with your fantastic plastic.
So this time I think I am going to get my own pad in NYC again for the 5 nights (probs LES again not BK because you always end up in an LES bar at 4am), Vegas I'm going to stay at the Tropicana because it's cheap and tacky and close to the Mandalay Bay Convention Centre (I'm going to MAGIC) and in SF I have decided to rent a room in the Castro off a middle aged gay man who lives in a beautiful terrace close to Duboce Park...
I've also been doing some more research for new bars/shops to hit up, especially in SF where I'm keen to find some new haunts sans old memories. I def want to visit the usual's like HUF, Laced, Harputs, The Hundreds and True, but I've found a few more including Free Gold Watch which sells this KILLER tote bag!
I'm harnessing a lot of self restrain right now to stop myself from buying it online...
Any recommendations on places to visit are more than welcome, please!

SOBER JANUARY - POSTPONED FOR A YEAR, OR TWO....
The last three months of 2009 were massively debaucherous and saw me drinking, whether at home or out every night of the week. I had a fucking ball, but even I knew that the party girl must get locked in the closet for a while as I sort out my life, liver and love for both.
2009 was meant to be '2000 and Mine' but as several of my girls will agree, things didn't turn out quite like that. 2009 was undoubtedly a good year - I had a killer year at work, went to The States twice, took my mum to the Northern Territory, did Melbourne a million times and took this blog to new levels of narcissism in profiling my work for Acclaim, Sneaker Freaker, Twothousand as well as managing to dress myself day in day out - but alas it ended in a bad break up and I now I don't even speak to the once love of my life... Moving on...
This year holds for me a change in career (deets to come next week) a new project launching in March (deets to come in Feb) a new house mate, and a total reassessment of my attitude and outlook on life.
Sober January, realistically, was totally unrealistic. There are so many good parties on, and at the end of a hard week there is nothing more I enjoy then getting written off and dancing like a retarded sweating mess. I think the key to practicality in my partying lifestyle is 'moderation' and maybe ignoring the massive cocktail on my leg which tells me to have 'One Drink 4 Courage' Ahem.
SO... The new rules for success are: No mid week drinking. No wine with dinner, no sneaky beers and definitely no school night benders... UNLESS I have a client function or a super good international act is out etc. Stop rolling your eyes, that's a legal loophole/clause...
THEN... One night of weekend boozing only. None of this getting wasted all weekend and sleeping all day when the sun is shining outside and getting no work done shit.
ALSO... No beer/wine/cider/bourbon - these are the culprits in my cottage cheese looking legs. I never had cellulite when I was a drug pig! Booze has made me porky so I'm outsmarting it's sugary delights but sticking to Vodka + Soda with fresh lime only. I'm also walking to work 3 times a week. Fuck this is sounding ambitious? Oh yeah and I've quit smoking too, well, I can smoke when I drink so I'm smoking once a week... Baby steps eh.
That all said, here's a selection of goodness to enjoy in ONE SINGLE WEEKEND of non-sober January. Fuck you Sydney for having such an epic fucking month of partying. When on when will you give my wallet a break baller?
Friday night: Diplo & Amanda Blank
Saturday Day/Saturday night: Sydney Festival featuring Al Green (for free!) then Method Man/Redman then a warehouse party in my hood...
Sunday: Days Like This Festival
Monday: Hatesville

DESERT DECADENCE
I borrowed this Penelope Benton image from Das Superpaper.
I think it's an absolutely beautiful image and especially so because it reminds me of my gorgeous friend Grace, as well as reminding me of another Sydney blog, The Heartbreaker.
