Sponge Laura Nudey Pants!

Like most trend-whores, I’m in a bit of a nude mood at the mo. Blush tones, palest corals and warm creams have always been some of my favourite colours to wear, so I look forward to the death of black every Spring. Nude has become, well, nuder! …over the years. It used to be merely a base coat ready for adornment. Now it’s nude on nude on nude; as demonstrated on the Willo runway for Fall 2010

Last time I checked, however, I wasn’t a supermodel (If this changes you’ll be the first to know) so for our Irish skin-tones I do recomend warming it up a little with your accessory choices or accompanying garments. Even a metallic accent can lift it enough to prevent washing yourself out. And it’s all about finding the right shade of nude for you. The old ‘holding it up against your face in the mirror and checking if it makes you look dead’ trick never fails.

Here’s a few ‘must haves’, ‘do haves’ and ‘would kill to haves’ on my list.

Above: Emilio Pucci Swimsuit €425 Net-a-porter / John galliano gown for ‘Fashion for relief’ €1822 Net-a-porter / Camilla and Marc bodycon dress €521 Net-a-porter (Although I would NOT put it with those shoes!…ick)

Below: Burberry prorsum shoes €650 Net-a-porter / Blush shift dress €39 Dresses.ie / Full Skirt Dress £45 Topshop

 

 And finally, some of my favourite celebrity nudey outings from recent months. Big rides the three of them!

Ruffle ruffle!

Are you lot over the pink/nude/pretty-pretty trend yet? I know I’m certainly not and it’s reasons like this Lipsy ruffle skirt that keep drawing me back to the whole overtly feminine look time and time again. I can’t believe this skirt is only £40, it certainly looks like it’s just come off the Chanel or Giambattista Valli catwalk!

By night I’d go for simple blacks and some super shiny platforms but I reckon you could pull this look off with some pretty Grecian style sandals and a beaten up denim jacket for more summery days.

Weekly Purchase.

Long time admirer of Sam Haskins work, i finally decided to fork out for his most prized collection. The Cowboy Kate series.

“The update gives new life to the Haskins’s enchanting and grainy ode to the female form, making it a must-have for photography and fashion lovers alike”. — Mar07 DEPARTURES

Reinventing  nude photography more then 40 years ago, Haskins in a playful manner perfectly depicts the female body through fun loving pictures of a girl of the old west.

So Amazon it was, with the Australian dollar at a decent conversion rate to the US dollar it was well worth the extra shipping cost’.

Summer rain

Steam

The sky is talking

opening in peals of light and sound

rain comes like a blessing

earlier, claustrophobic sticky heat pressing down on sweat-slick skin

that crackles to the touch

gardens launguish, flaccid in this sauna of oppression under a colorless sky

Then, without warning, the heavens open wide

mist rises from the fields

fat cool droplets fall

steam rises from my skin

as I shed my clothes and dance with the land

Flickrotica (3/11/10)

quasistatic is another one of those Flickr photographers who profile tells us virtually nothing about him (except that he’s male, single and joined Flickr in February of 2008). Luckily for us, his photos are each worth well more than a thousand words. His models are delicious, his lighting perfect and his shots well composed. Most of his photos have all rights reserved, but here are a couple which, happily, may be reproduced under a creative commons license.

American woman arrested after crash while grooming pubic hair say cops

The Florida Highway Patrol says Megan Barnes, a 37-year-old woman, was driving while shaving her pubic hair.

It might not surprise you to learn that during Barnes’ ride on the razor’s edge, she allegedly crashed into the backup of a pickup truck in Cudjoe Key, Fla, according to CBS affiliate WFOR. Then, she and her ex-husband reportedly drove another half-mile before being pulled over last Tuesday morning.

We’re told the ex-husband was actually doing the steering — from the passenger seat, of course.

Patrol officers say they determined that in addition to this bit of “landscaping” behind the wheel, Barnes was already driving with a suspended license, just one day after she was convicted of driving under the influence.

Now, for her apparent adventure with blade in hand, throw in charges of reckless driving, driving with a revoked license, leaving the scene of a crash with injuries, and driving without insurance. The good news, nobody was seriously hurt.

Trooper Gary Dunick, describing what Ms. Barnes was thinking, explained, “She said she was meeting her boyfriend in Key West and wanted to be ready for the visit.”
