a ruby by any other name is still a gem

 i simply adore the winter 2012 line from ruby, a great new zealand line. this season stays on trend and on collection for this line. the ruby girl is a girl with a lot of inherent fashion sense..it reminds me of a girl home from uni for the winter holiday picking some of her favorite pieces from mothers closet and pairing them artfully with her own new style. last winter there was a hint of little brother but i love that the ruby girl is becoming a woman. metallic are amazing in this line, used perfectly as shorts cut with a circular hem and boots with a metallic glaze. i appreciate the use of prints and the flowing dresses that flow seamlessly next to over sized knits and great jeweled pieces. and i cant leave out the simply perfected color combinations, tans, muted pinks, mustards, blues and greens. this is just what i want for winter and just what everyone needs to stay banging on any continent. -the young and the bangin'

so long gone

so ive been gone for a while. moved back to la out of australia and life has been a bit more than just bangin..but im back in action i will be posting up a storm..lots of pictures to get to you and lookbooks, runway and off color commentary. -the young and the bangin'

neon lights

its by far not a new idea that neon flashes are all the rage now. but i think there are some ways of perfecting this look so as not to look like you walked right out of an 80s fancy dress party. cambridge satchel company has provided just that perfect way to insert florescence into even the most preppy wardrobe with fashion and function, something that might be wearable past this trend and into a new one...sometimes the fashion gods wink right at us... check out these before ive purchased all of them... they are bangin on a few levels

first resort

hi guys...its been a while...i cant even begin to explain what has been going on in my life...i am all over the world..but the celine resort 2012 collection snapped me back to life...how can you resist what is going on here. the florals are devine, they remind me of something circa moschino 94 and i have to admit i am falling completely for these neon pants...pink is doing it for me right now and pink has never been my color...this makes me want to walk the streets of london and with the way my constant traveling has been going that might be in the cards..so go to be back bang bang bang
