Food & Fashion

get ready for an entirely nonsensical post combining my love for food and fashion. outfits good enough to eat? food good enough to… um… wear? no matter! just enjoy it for what it is.

rosemary & walnut crepes /  paris x3

egg & avo sandwich / glamcanyon

dinner in brooklyn / style sightings

annabel ly / vanessa jackman

blueberry & lavender rhubarb jam / all the pretty birds

old fashioned pink lemonade / streetstyle aesthetic

bourbon chocolate milkshake / vanessa jackman

the ice creamists / style clicker

potato, celery root & sunchoke cream / vanessa jackman

lumberjack cake / streetpeeper

oh yes, i don’t follow many food blogs myself (just because it would be laughably impossible to browse on top of my already escalating subscriptions to hundreds of fashion, lifestyle and personal blogs) – so if i ever feel like some food inspiration i look to the amazing pinterest boards of su / i’m revolting, catherine / wolfeyebrows and alison / teenangster.

This!

one of my new years resolutions should probably have been to stop complaining about the heat. i live in africa, i have done for 28 years, i need to get over it. WELL. that will never happen. i actually day dream about the cold. i look at pictures of girls wearing crisp camel coloured coats and actually get kind of weepy. i am particularly drawn to the lovely dark mix of blacks, browns and navy… accessorised with beautiful leather bags and jaunty hats. sigh.

Nikolaj d’Étoiles

this lookbook for swedish fashion label Nikolaj d’Étoiles’ S/S 2010 line was shot in 2009 by swedish photographer Viktor Gårdsäter. so, you know, it’s not exactly new. but i can never resist a melancholy looking bearded man.

Verrier by Reed & Rader

okay, i’m not sure how any other lookbooks this year will top this animated gif lookbook for Verrier by Reed & Rader (and it’s only 11 days in…) i had to choose a few of my favourites just to keep the bandwidth down – i apologise if it loads slowly on your computer, everyone with third world internet like myself – but be sure to check out all of them here. via Design for Mankind (thanks Erin!).
