I love a good polo and you probably can't get much better than lacoste. I'm a huge fan of their fun, clean and fresh advertising. Some people say its time they took a new angle but I'm still enjoying the concept. What do you think?Images from ads of the world.

Well, what better thing to come out of tragedy (well, minor tragedy) than a piece of creative writing. I've decided to use the dwarf story (maybe not all its profanities) to write my feature art...

Finally, after years of searching I've found my Holy Grail foundation. This is it. The best foundation I've ever tried, the one that I'd be willing to use for the rest of my life, never being tempted to stray to another brand. That's how perfect this is. Of course, there's one big catch, and that is thatShu Uemura isn't currently available in Australia, although rumour has it that it'll be availab

Blair Waldorf Leighton Meester with Julie Haus, Julie's designs on the runwayOur Friday was literally booked solid with fashion shows, and so by the time Julie Haus' mid-afternoon debut runway set was upon us, we were weak, weary, and unfocused. Did we expect this show to mark the highlight of our Fashion Week experience thus far? Not really. But did it? Yes, pretty much! And why? Well, let'

Spring 2009 Mercedes Benz Fashion Week is well under way, and SASSYBELLA.com are right there in the midst of it, trying assign meaning to all the creativity, confusion, and chaos. Two days in, we've got a handful of shows under our belt and some early impressions on what priorities, inspirations, and styles designers have on their agendas for next spring. Madison Avenue relies on Bryant Park's wee

I love the sense of space and subtle introspection that seeps through Gregory Euclide's artwork. His says of his latest series, 'my work explores the way we experience nature and how this is tied to the cultural practice of constructing landscapes as idealized images. When we are in nature we experience the world through all of our senses in a dynamic way, but at the same time we are framing

Scott Prendergast wrote, directed, and starred in the movie Kabluey, which he referred to as a 'melancomedy' about Salman, an awkward but well-intentioned man, and his sister-in-law, Leslie (played by Lisa Kudrow), who are thrown together amidst an array of personal difficulties. While Leslie's husband is away at war, Salman steps in to serve as a live-in nanny to his two young nephews, who

I am finally over the pink. It was sweet and cheery while it lasted but I have decided to go all fresh and clean for springtime. I am not too keen on the new banner though. What do you think?
Perhaps I need something a bit less cutesy (not that I dont love cute, I am definitely a cute loving gal) but this is a grown up crafty type blog after all.

If you still want to be in the running for the vin

Well, you have probably been wondering where the hell is Lady Melbourne right?
I have been busy at Fashion Week the last 5 days, and have spent the spare time thats left over putting the finishing touches on the first episode of Lady Melbourne TV.I am very proud to present this to you, particularly as I had the honour of interviewing Dianne from Clara Fox who gave me this beautiful dress as a tha

Rainwater tanks are here to stay. Not only is the general populace turning to them as the realization sinks in that water is a scarce resource, but they are also being legislated by government at all levels. The unfortunate problem is that the vast majority are not the most attractive additions to the built environment, particularly the latest round of polypropylene models, which are mostly big b

Though most know Max Bode as an art director over at the ubiquitous New Yorker, he is in fact quite an illustrator. Creating bright, clean illustrations, in a style at times reminiscent of old video games and cartoons, Bode work is a real treat, especially when stumbling across one of his illustrations in the New Yorker.time savedtime saved

Cappuccino is an open source application framework for developing applications that look and feel like the desktop software users are familiar with. It is built on top of standard web technologies like JavaScript, and it implements most of the familiar APIs from GNUstep and Apple s Cocoa frameworks. When you program in Cappuccino, you don t need to concern yourself with the complexities of tra

PleaseDressMe is a classic example of scratching ones own itch. AJ, Gary, and Joe love finding great new tees, but finding the tees wasn't the easiest thing in the world. Rather than sifting through multiple websites, they figured why not just go to one website that makes searching for t-shirts easy? Once they came to that conclusion, Joe went to coding and after a few calculated keystrokes he bro

Dianogah s core instrumentation is as a trio of two bass guitarists and one drummer. They have toured the US extensively, traveled throughout Europe and played in South America, amongst other places, with acts such as Man or Astro Man?, Blonde Redhead, Shellac, Silkworm, June of 44 and Don Caballero.time savedtime saved

The Australian Communications and Media Authority (ACMA) has released its Draft Children's Television Standards for comment. And I'm seriously considering reviewing and maybe submitting comments.

I'm concerned about the amount of advertising during children's viewing times. For those who would like to learn a bit more about the subject, the Young Media's website provides a great snapshot of adv

I found this in the supermarket. When I saw that it cost $2.95 (AUD) for a 400ml bottle, I figured that it wouldn't be any good, cause it was just too cheap. But I opened the top and sniffed it anyhow. The smell is heavenly, jus

It seems like only hours ago that I was stranded in Melbourne sucking back beers in the Qantas Club, wondering wether it would have been faster if I d hitched a ride to Sydney with a meth addicted truck driver. The City of Melbourne turned on a fabulous last day of femme fashions and that was just Lady Melbourne and Fashion Hayley. I ll be back in the morning to finish my wrap up of the week w
