Rachel Rutt For Shakuhachi A/W 12

posted by:

Rachel Rutt fronts Shakuhachis A/W 2012 collection California Dreaming which was shot by photographer Bec Parsons. The collection isnt afraid to incorporate different textures, use colour and shorten hemlines which bodes perfect for the wintery months ahead.

California Dreaming follows Shakuhachis previous collection of predominantly feminine and flowy gowns to a more bohemian like spirit which is perfectly encapsulated by model Rachel Rutt. Crop tops, high waisted pants and structured dresses are a basis for the AW 2012 style. A must see collection for every committed Shakuhachi fan.

“The best year ever!” “The best day ever!” and other bridal resolutions for 2012

posted by:

 

With your list of New Years resolutions pocketed in your new Prada handbag , or filed in your office desk, or saved on your iPad2, it is already time to pause, and take note of the momentum towards your goal. Or, has it already taken a brief lull, before charging on, or coming to a perennial 363 day hiatus?

While you evaluate, I offer some personal 2012 resolutions, and an inspirational idiom, served up by my best friend who, alas, recognizes I do not make resolutions, and trying to get me to make a list is, quite frankly, pointless, .

Inspired!
