I buy magazines and don't ever get time to read them. I won't go shopping for ages in a bid to save money, then one day i'll just go crazy and spend thousands at a time. I'm a hopeless cook... I never really watch TV - there's too much else to do! I've played the piano my whole life but kind of stopped lately, so I'm missing it. I love travel - especially Europe - but go on crazy spending sprees whenever I do. I'm one of the Fashionising team so ask me questions if you get stuck. I'm always happy to meet new people.

Wrote 'Abbey Lee's cowgirl shoot for POP: preview'

I'm pretty sure i'm not the only one out there who has a massive girl-crush on Abbey Lee Kershaw. So I can further conclude that I'm not the only one who's looking forward to seeing the finished product of her shoot for POP Magazine. We've already seen a behind-the-scenes video of Abbey Lee, a collaboration by wardenclyffe and photographer Richard Prince; and now here are some preview pictures from the cowgirl-inspired shoot.

Wrote 'Crash landings in 160g Magazine'

More futurism and sci-fi hits the pages of the February 2010 issue of 160g. With sci-fi fonts to match, the Bionic Art issue is fully themed up with space invaders and dark creatures. A Landing Not Totally Under Control is just one pictorial from the issue, photographed by Urivaldo Lopes.

Wrote 'One Teaspoon's waistcoated warrior'

Here's a piece that's so perfect for the future warrior trend that I couldn't not give it a mention. Black leather with metal eyelets and studs, One Teaspoon's gladiator inspired Mistress Leather Vest could really be made to work in many different ways.

Wrote 'Industry talks for the streetwear crowd: Melbourne'

Buffet is a new event concept launching soon in Melbourne. Dedicated to streetwear, accessories and contemporary style and culture, Buffet will run over three days and incorporate an industry tradeshow, public expo, marketplace and discussion forums - the latter of which is likely to be of particular interest to all you industry folks. A whole host of speakers have already been announced including keynote speaker Jeffstaple, Eddie Zammit founder of T-World magazine, and Kym Purtell, one of the FAT store chain's founders.

Exhibitors at the event are many and varied, including the likes of Mischka, Upper Playground and Norse Projects.

Wrote 'Rania rocks Zara Young for Spring 2010'

Fashion chain Zara gets youthful and fresh for their Spring 2010 Young range. Full of grunged-up looks with printed tees, ripped denim, and leather jackets, the lookbook has some cool young looks for both boys and girls.

Rania Mordanova also models a rather perfect example of how to wear the hair bows trend without going for a big girly headband. A simply scarf tied in a bow can have a vintage charm, or an element of rock-chic depending on how you dress it.

Wrote 'Tap shorts and lingerie in Harpers Bazaar UK '

I just adore the idea of tap pants as a trend - being the more casual, more feminine cousin to hot pants, they're also less demanding on one's figure. Giedre Dukauskaite wears a gorgeous blue pair in this shoot for Harpers Bazaar UK, along with some other pretty lingerie as outerwear looks.

Wrote 'Street style: loooong hair'

2010's hair trends have - in some cases - taken a drastic pendulum swoop away from bobs and crops, landing firmly in the uber-long category. That's not to say that some short styles aren't still in (read the full 2010 hair trends bible to find out more), but simply that lengthy locks are a refreshingly sexy look right now.

Wrote 'Lara Stone is impossible: more Love Magazine'

So many uber-sexy pictures keep arising from the current issue of Love Magazine that odds are some brains are in serious meltdown. And if you're not one of them yet, then just wait until you see Lara Stone's naked pictorial for the issue.

Wrote 'Marloes Horst youthful for Blanco'

It's easy to forget that Marloes Horst is still just shy of 21. Wholly sultry and usually cast in shoots involving some degree of nudity, it's almost weird to see just how cute and fresh-faced Marloes can look. Blanco featured her in their Spring 2010 lookbook, wearing many a young and casual outfit.

Wrote 'Abandoned but wearing McQueen: Glass Magazine'

Are we at all surprised that Alexander McQueen's seriously inspired sci-fi fashion pieces are fast becoming the editorial favourites du jour? Not in the least. Just think of all the creative shoot concepts and locations you could dream up in order to work in this trend. I mean, who wouldn't want to lie around on the paint-splattered concrete floor of a dirty, graffitied, run-down building while wearing designer couture? And I'm guessing it will only get better from here.

Wrote 'Blue planet, red world: Harpers Bazaar'

Set against a backdrop of red, rocky terrain, this shoot from Harpers Bazaar UK's March 2010 issue is all about blue. The pairing of tribal jewellery with dresses in various shades of blue - from rich azures through to deep navy - is a clear and striking theme against the rocky red, while the styling adds a mildly futuristic feel to it all.

Wrote 'Street style: urban warrioress'

Since taking this in-depth look at the future warrior as a thematic 2010 fashion trend, I've been waiting patiently for some good street style examples to arise. This one hails from Singapore, and though simple enough, evokes the warrioress theme by way of the exposed shoulders, over the knee socks, and the spiked tribal jewellery.

Wrote 'Blonde brows and bows: Vogue UK'

Patricia van der Vliet's blonde eyebrows and fair curls make her the perfect candidate to work the bow headband trend with girlish charm. Shot by Mario Testino, Vliet models soft colours and cascading ruffles in a tribute to youthful femininity.

My Style

I love all different styles and work them in with my moods and the occasion. I love designer, but also picking up vintage finds. I don't like wearing my favourite clothes to work because then I think of them as "work" clothes and it kinda ruins them for me.

I have an obsession with antique and vintage jewellery... I much prefer the character, charm and quality of something old and well crafted. I have heaps of pairs of boots - flat ones, heeled ones, cowboy boots, knee-high boots, leather ones, suede ones... for some reason I can't get enough pairs!

Favourite Labels

Paul Smith Women, Ralph Lauren, Burberry, Aquascutum, Tom Ford... many others!

Best Feature

My female logic ;)

Interests

Shopping, Socialising, Horse Riding, Travelling, Reading, Movies, Playing Piano, Going Out, Fashion (obviously...)

Hates

Lack of etiquette. When political correctness goes mad.

Music

I'm not tied to genres.
I love: pretty melodies
well constructed harmonies
interrupted cadences
music that's a bit raw
interesting lyrics
sexy beats
music that makes me feel like all of a sudden I can breathe

I don't like:
overly soppy ballads
cliche lyrics
lazy 'filler' songs on albums
house music (generally speaking)
remakes and covers that are worse than the original

Movies

A few random favourites: Blade Runner, Breakfast at Tiffany's, Charade, The Usual Suspects, The Sting, anything by Tim Burton, Chinatown, Bond movies (Roger Moore is my Bond), Hitchcock films. Many, many more.

Television

House.

Reading

Too many books to list, but I particularly love classics. Oscar Wilde, Lewis Carroll, H.G Wells...
I'm a big Poe fan - I love that you can read short stories over and over again and not get tired of them. I love stories that are a bit dark.
I'm a closet Philip K Dick fan (or not so closet, anymore.)
For magazines I love Tatler & Vogue UK.

Smoking

Don't Smoke

Drinking

Drink Socially

Ideal Night Out

Anything where I can dress for the occasion - I love dressing for a black tie event as much as for dinner or a movie.

Partied & Dined With

I've met the Queen, Prince Phillip, Edward and Charles. I'm collecting royalty.

Want To Party & Dine With

Not sure right now... Please stay tuned.
