Although I didn’t get to see Dion Lee’s show in person at RAFW, I haven’t been able to stop thinking about his utterly stunning collection. Everything about Dion’s work is so considered, so precise. The palette, the construction, the styling, the venue – all the aspects of the show came together to produce something truly exciting, truly innovative. The above dress is probably my favourite piece from the collection – its classic construction offset by a Rorschach inkblot print. The print is beautiful on first glance, slightly sinister on the second.
If the Rorschach test is designed to reveal inner thoughts, then welcome to my mind. I see pelvic bones; a monkey skull with glowing eyes; lobster claws; a scarab beetle. Make of that what you will.

Today I relaxed in bed until almost midday – unheard of for an early riser like myself. After a week of constant activity, all I want is the solitude of my bedroom and a patch of sun to soak up.

Today I hit the wall of exhaustion – all the late nights running from catwalk to catwalk, and all the early mornings rushing to the office to blog them finally took their toll. I made an executive decision to give myself a break – a morning coffee date with Alicia and Jessy was a decadently slow start to the day.
I’ve been hoping for cold weather all this week in order to debut this amazing Sportsgirl Mongolian lamb scarf. The tipped white fur makes me feel utterly luxurious.
