Cross Section Markets - Angel Place Laneway - Sydney!

Yes who said only Melbourne had laneways! We used to have them too until we knocked them all down or built them over. If Sydney is good at only one thing it is certainly good at knocking old stuff down - yes Sydney is kinda the home of the Tall Poppy Syndrome so its nice to see some laneways have survived the onslaught of development and that some have even been re-instated. To help prevent the ever expanding Laneway-Gap between this progressive gap-prone city and more-older (fashioned) and funky cities down south..

But enough about me - this was my first trip to the Cross Section, #CROSSSECTION  laneway markets, and thank god I am not tweeting this or I would be way done already. None the less, it looks like this Designer Fashion Market is an ongoing monthly event something like the Woman's Weekly which is also a monthly and contains all sorts of Fashion info. If none of what I am saying makes any sense at all that's just great because what I really want you to do dear readers is to pop down to the Cross Section Markets in Sydney and see them for yourself. For the musical amongst my readers you will already know that Angel Place is also home to Sydney's BEST recital hall which you can see in the background of the image just below.  That's right, forget the opperra house, this is where the serious music and fashion lovers go... Angel Place Sydney.

Lucina & Evan at SNO - Artist Style

I met Lucina and Evan last weekend at the SNO 90 exhibition opening. Surprise surprise, they are artists in residence at SNO and will be showing their work in the very next exhibition! Have to say I love their personal style which they brought with themselves all the way from Melbourne; and I am looking forward to seeing their artwork in SNO 91 in a few weeks time.

And Lucina & Evan blog too,

Weekend Fashion-Camouflage for Guys and Gals..

Yes it was a bit cold over the weekend so we all had our jackets and what-not out to see us through the inclement  nature of the weather; but what I was not expecting was to see a run on camouflage gear. And yes second picture down, I do think that home made so-I-was-told scarf qualifies as camouflage fashion too. The big question is, is this a forerunner for later in the year or just a rainy day coincidence? I suppose only time will tell but it might me nice to see a shift from leopard print to the many different prints of camouflage style.. .

When Summer Turns - It's Back to Black.

Back to Black. Yes, black leather biker jackets, black leggings with black Doc Martins or something similar, and the big black bag; a 60's 'do' up top with long black black hair and a pair of equally retro spectacle frames.. But no matter what Sydney weather seems to want to toss our way right now it IS STILL SUMMER! That's right scream it in caps and then add a splash of funky-hippy tie-dye colour to set off those blacks and let everyone know, Summer is still here.

Cuban Heel RM William Boots - Black Black Leopard and Blue..

Black stretch Jeans, black midriff top and black fringed leopard print housecoat perfectly teamed with the Australian made Cuban heeled RM Williams Santa Fe Boots, and a creative selection of jewellery too. A perfect art opening look for what seemed to me the 'Opening' of the 2013 art year at Danks Street last night. Oh, and the blue and purple hair and Bindi make a great finish to this look. And those boots, I have had a long and romantic attachment to the Santa Fe RMs ever since one of my girlfriends long long ago made them her shoe of choice, love them! Thank you Phillippa for letting me get this shot.

Floral Blouse - Matching Sunglasses - Balmain

It's been hard to know what the weather is doing or going to be doing in Sydney of late so much so I believe there is a move afoot to change the official spelling for weather to whether... But there has been plenty of sun and quite a bit of heat so its a great time for a light floral blouse and some well chosen sunnies to match and keep the glare at bay. Black jeans are always a cool option, though perhaps not in the sun, nicely teamed with beaded sandals.. Thank you Carolyn for letting me grab this shot of you in Balmain Sydney.

Twins in Pink & Blue - Central to Redfern with Cityrail..

Ok sometimes I get my camera out and sometimes I don't and sometimes I just have to! I asked these two lovely young ladies who as chance would have it jumped into the same train carriage as me if I could take their picture; even though I had no idea what they were saying to each other because they are French! Love the pink and blue, the cut-off denim shorts and the bows in their hair, super sweet. And they have taken to that popular footwear known in Old Skool speak as thongs. Well its been pretty hot again so why not. Thanks so much for letting me grab two lovely shots.
