Rain rain go away...

I think I speak on behalf of all Brisbane-ites when I say that I am completely and utterly OVER this abysmal weather. Yes of course we love water here in the Sunshine State.. more so than any other state in Australia, but we prefer it at the beach where it meets the sand and at the local pool like Mussy or Chermy, where water slides and blow-up toys are a must. Not when it's filling up our yards and garages with all sorts of yuck. So for all those who are rapidly suffering from seasonal depression, here's a little video to keep your spirits high and fill you with some hope, that this summer will be nothing like spring!
Australia's Billabong have come up with another fun filled and toe-tapping clip, filmed on Straddy and featuring one of the freshest Brisbane models, Jess Bush (splitting image of w&k favourite, Ruby Rose) and music from Tim and Jean. If you are worried about these girls' bodies making you feel even more depressed, it's probably best that you try and focus on all the fun times that summer brings to your life instead... that might be a better idea.

BILLABONG GIRLS SUMMER 2010 FASHION

All hail Gail.

Brisbane girl and ex-All Hallows pupil, Gail Reid has a lot to be smiling about. Not only is she one of Australia's most loved designers but she is now officially playing ball with the big kids. Her label, Gail Sorronda is now being stocked in the Dolce and Gabanna flagship store in Milan and we hear that she is a favourite amongst the European locals. She also got to sit down and chat to the 'Devil' herself, Anna Wintour about her latest collection and the story behind it... Definitely a feat to be proud of.

Here are some snaps from her recent show in Milan. Enjoy!

Going to festivals to fall in love only happens in movies and at Woodford.

What's more amazing than a super music collaboration, like Mumford and Sons ft The Temper Trap at this years Splendour in the Grass??... A brother/sister meal deal, that's what. Angus and Julia Stone serenaded Brisbane this weekend over three nights at The Tivoli and I was lucky enough to experience their greatness at their Friday show. They were nothing but phenomenal, accompanied by some of America's most talented musicians and featuring an incredibly large weeping willow decorated in fairy lights (very A + J). Not only that but, Angus explained the story behind chart topping hit Big Jet Plane, saying that he wrote it about a girl who he met (and fell for) at Woodford Folk Festival, earlier this year. What makes this more amazing is that rumour has it this lucky lass hails from Brisbane... jealous or what?!?!? As he shared his story with us, which sounded more like a scene out of a Hollywood movie, the female population of the audience swooned over every word, while the boys envied his abilities to make more than 200 hearts throb all at once. All in all, Julia is a musical goddess and Angus is a beautiful being, beard and all.

Burberry RTW Spring/Summer 2011

Metallic pants, trench coats with studded shoulders and leather sleeves and an array of pop coloured purses and belts. If this doesn't yell F-A-B-U-L-O-U-S, I just don't know what will. Early this morning, Burberry closed the 2011 London Fashion Week with an absolute bang. Models were sporting leather, ruffles, studs, exotic materials and all while rocking the classic trench. Vibrant selections of colours were used throughout the collection, such as aqua, fuchsia, lime green and pastel pink, however animal prints were thrown into the mix on many of the cropped jackets and mini dresses.
Once again Christopher Bailey has given his consumers a fresh and young edge to the iconic trench coat and has teamed it with some of the most stunning cocktail dresses and pants (Ahhhh victory! I was jumping out of my skin, these pants were so cool).
The collection is a mix between biker chick and Serena Van Der Woodsen and here are some of my favourite looks from the collection, including my super favourite look from all of LFW, lime green leather jacket, citrine coloured top and leather pants. Enjoy!
