Daily Outfit -- 7th September 2007

[ 8 September 2007 ]

What I wore to the Object of Desire show last night…

Daily outfit

<3 Big hair!
<3 Elle Macpherson camisole
<3 Button-coat by Laurie Foon
<3 Purple lamé leggings from American Apparel
<3 Slouchy high-heeled cowboy boots from Dizingof
<3 Pearls, lucite bangles & Tarina Tarantino rings

I think this outfit is missing something! Like a big belt around the middle. This coat has a fabric belt which I tied behind my back to cinch it in & give it shape, but I think I could have given that a miss & used a big saddle-style belt instead. I don’t have one, though! Next purchase, maybe…

Here is my outfit in action! (Exciting!)

I wasn’t lying about the good view…

  1. The last two shots are great. There’s something funny about seeing all those photographers in almost the exact same position. It seems like a perfect moment in some peculiar way.

  2. you look like you’re exactly where you’re supposed to be: like you’ve been attending VIP fashion events your whole life and are perfectly comfortable in that situation.
    congrats to you!

    ps: you are SO much more fashion that all those other chickee-poos. (and yes, i meant to say fashion and not fashionable — anyone can be fashionable but it takes gusto to be fashion.)

  3. Haha, I just had to add this!

    I don’t know, I must have thought that because it’s almost the exact opposite of what you picture when you picture photographers at an event like this. Usually you think of screaming photographers (all gathered around, pushing to get the best spot), them lookin’ all crazy, and here everyone is either sitting or standing, looking quite peaceful and calm. It seems so quaint.

    Plus, in the first picture that funny look the guy directly behind you has is priceless. Although I shouldn’t be talking since I know I make a crazy face when I take photos, hehe.

  4. I LOVE the coat. If only it weren’t so impractical to buy all sorts of fun coats here. I go to school in Boston. My coats need to be utilitarian; their only purpose is warmth.

  5. You don’t half stand out sis!!! I bet most of the people sat with you didn’t wake up with the idea of ‘I am going to look so fucking fabulous today’!!!

  6. Yayeee! I am totally in love with the leopard print boots of the woman near you. :)

    <3 Beth · Sep 8, 06:40 PM · #

  7. I love that coat! I need to find some Laurie Foon in London soon….

  8. Hey i was there last night!
    and me and my friend were like wow that girls hair is wicked.
    my friend moaned the whole night because she tried to get pink hair but it didnt work as well as yours lol.

    <3 Amy · Sep 8, 07:40 PM · #

  9. You look awesome! (Yay for the Elle camisole – I have a ton of them thanks to my local Bendon Outlet.)

    You don’t need a belt – it’s that whole Coco Chanel ‘take one thing off’ philosophy. You look great anyway, but lined up with all those other people your fantastic use of colour stands out. You look pulled-together instead of thrown-together and effortless as opposed to tryhard. Mwah!

  10. I wonder who was taking those photos of you ;)

    <3 wyend · Sep 8, 08:48 PM · #

  11. Those purple lamé leggings look awesome, girl!

  12. Awesome hair!

  13. Elizabeth — Yeah, it seems posed ;> & I know, it all looks a bit serene! The media riser was quite well-organised, a few levels etc. with spaces alotted for the various papers, magazines, etc., so no one needed to push… which is the way it should be, really!

    admireme — Ahh, thank you! That’s really lovely. & no, I agree that I’m not ‘fashionable’, but I don’t know if I would call myself ‘fashion’! I definitely stood out, that’s all I know…

    Rachel — My Laurie Foon is a good autumn or spring-weight coat, perfect with long-sleeves underneath for a little bit of extra warmth, or as a dress when it’s balmy (like I wore it last night)!

    Robin Hosking — Haha! Mwah!

    Beth — Yeah, they’re pretty neat, huh?

    Ammu — I looked at her website (lauriefoon.com) but under ‘worldwide stockists’ was a big blank space! Maybe you should email them about it…

    Amy — Haha, funny that you saw me! Did you just find my site today, or did you not recognise me?! Tell your friend to read my guide to unnatural hair colour ;D It tells the secrets of super-pink hair!

    Nadine — I have a whole lot too — pink & purple polka-dots, etc. They’re so fab! I’m not good with the ‘take one thing off’ scene! I try… but it’s not my forte… Argh! Thank you though, you are lovely!

    wyend — Not you?! Gasp!

    Pants — Thank you, I have been totally thrashing them for the past week because they go SO well with my new purple scarf & purple nails!

    Ajda K — Merci! It is all back-combing & hairspray!

  14. you are like an exotic parrot amongst pigeons! gorgeous.
    xoxo

    <3 sophie~ · Sep 9, 01:29 AM · #

  15. Awwww, you look so gorgeous. :)

    I took blurry photos of you. :( Let’s blame the lack of light. coughs

    <3 Nadia · Sep 9, 01:49 AM · #

  16. i like how your the only one thats not like

    “hello, my name is Corporate Stiff and i have brown hair”

    <3 eska · Sep 9, 06:28 AM · #

  17. I love how the woman sitting to your right in jeans is sitting in “blokes pose”... :) She’s got thighs for Africa :) Did you get to talk to any of the people you were sitting with?

    <3 Jenny · Sep 9, 09:06 AM · #

  18. sophie~ — Hee! Kiss.

    Nadia — It’s okay! I still love you!

    eska — Well, I have the advantage of running my own business… everyone sitting near me answers to someone else. Tends to put a damper on your self-expression!

    Jenny — She was lovely actually, & adored my Tarina Tarantino ring! I spoke to a few of them. The woman with leopard-print boots is one of the PR women I organised my media accreditation with, she has amazing hair!

  19. Gala, my dear,
    To see you sit on the edge of your seat, perky and attentive, with the world’s most energetic posture,
    well,
