A fantastic collection from Derek Lam, 10 Crosby is set to become a firm fashion favourite! Well tailored, simple and yet so chic, the separates would perform beautifully for a crazy day at work and transform easily for a nice dinner out or casual event when the sun sets. I think the styling here is wonderful, the teased strawberry curls, polaroid type settings and the model's perfectly mischevious smile definitely makes me crave every piece in this collection. Don't you?

We walked a little, sat often and wrote on postcards that the museum provided as part of a project incorporating public participation. It was a happy day but the main point I'm circling back to was that the same Artworks attracted me for very different reasons. The colours, the vivid yellow in particular spoke to my warm contented emotions and the coarse brushstrokes evoked a sense of being unrestained, impulsive and carefree. The child in me was fulfilled.
When I look at it today, I see the greys, the blacks, the whites filling the canvas, providing a starker contrast. The circles and long lines like shimmering emotions on the brink of something big, quivering molecules just before boiling point. It fits the tension in my mind, the messiness, undercurrents of pain, the suppressed darkness. Its a fog I hope to emerge from but tell me this: what do you do when the easy way out is not possible and the hard way is just too hard? Do you come to a complete stop in paralysed fear or can you find enough within to push on?
