dream life of a twenty-one year old

Tilda Swinton is a beautiful woman; one that I hope to work with one day and hopefully become close friends with. 

She did this fantastic shoot, dressing up as David Bowie… Inspired!

This photograph was taken by “Mason Mulholland”. I’ve mentioned him on my blog previously. His website has many other photographs from him, along with some of his artwork. You can view his website by clicking HERE.

I’d love to take a photograph like this.

This is the sort of magazine you just want to live in, or better yet, escape in.

It makes you just want to say “Alright, I’m off” as you strip naked and jump into this world of style and class.

This is only the second issue of “GQ Style Australia” that has been released, and I’m pleased that I’ve been able to get them from issue one. It’s been a good issue and I’ve enjoyed not only admiring the photographs of handsome men in great clothes, but I’ve also enjoyed having a good ol’ read. 

The kind of clothes and accessories in this magazine certainly have a place in my dream life. I recommend you pick up a copy.

No 9, Albemarle Street

This is what is said about the store on the Paul Smith website:

Paul Smith opened his furniture shop, No 9 Albemarle Street, in the heart of Mayfair in October 2005. The aim was to create a shop that would showcase the varied selection of original and unique antiques, objects, art and curiosities sourced from around the world.

“I have been a collector of ‘things’ for years and am very excited to have finally found a shop for these wonderful, individual pieces. The shop will be an odd mix, but that will make it utterly exciting all the time” -Paul Smith

The shop has a constantly changing and unexpected combination of treasures. While some are original pieces others are given a new lease of life with a Paul Smith twist. All items share the fact that they are unique.

That’s the kind of store I’d be interested in shopping at. I like the idea of stores stocking one-off items rather than mass-produced stuff right out of China.

Tea and Scones are definitely things I want in my ideal life.

Fortunately they’re easily attainable.

Also something I really should get hold of one day is a lovely tea set with the whole nine yards:

• Teapot
• Teacups
• Saucers
• Sideplates

A lovely floral pattern like the one in the picture would be nice. Of course that’s something I’d be more keen to get when I move out of home.

No these aren’t from some dirty magazine…

they’re from the launch issue of “GQ Style Australia”.

Eleven shots from this great shoot by photographer David Bellemere made it into the magazine. 

In case you can’t tell, model Julien Sabaud is there to display the watches he’s wearing.

This is Mason Mulholland.

He’s a Sydney-based artist, photographer and model.

I admire his work and he even inspired me to attempt my own artwork… a work that’s still in progress and it doesn’t appear that it will achieve anything as great as a Mulholland. At least I’m trying. 

I highly recommend that you check out his great website: http://www.masonmulholland.com/
