CHASING DOLPHINS IN DAVIDELFIN

It's been a week since my return from Sardinia and I must say I already miss it dearly. I got the chance to thoroughly relax, vacate my mind, read a spot of Sedaris on the beach (there seriously is nothing better) and get a tan (YES, I CAN STILL TAN OKAY). Excited as I was for all of that, I secretly couldn't wait to shoot my precious Davidelfin shorts. My sweetheart gave them to me this summer and they're just perfection: vibrant colours, the cutest zippers I just want to put in a onesie and sing throaty lullabies to and the most comfortable jersey fabric. I've been wanting to shoot them for so long, but I knew waiting for my holiday in Cagliari would do them a tad more justice than posing in front of the toolshed at home. We went sailing, as you can see on the pictures, and I was so glad I brought a plastic bag with me to protect the shorts from the seawater (SALT STAINS ZOMG) because we got soaked shortly after the pictures were taken. I'm not kidding: the insane September wind made the sailboat fly through the feral ocean lopsidedly, with me screaming and clutching on the mast and dear life! It was all worth it though because through my squinted, wet eyes and raped hairdo I was able to make out four wild dolphins soaring above the glistening surface. It was pretty goddamn magical, knowing that Davidelfin is obsessed with them ('delfin' = Spanish for dolphin). I hope you enjoy the photos, I kind of totally almost drowned to get them!

CREAM OF THE CROP

There's a very strong bond between a boy and his cap. That bond is established somewhere around the age of seven, when he wins his first junior league game of baseball or whatnot. Triumphantly he sends his lucky cap flying as he scores the winning point! His teammates lift him up on their shoulders and chant his name..

*NEEDLE SCRATCHES RECORD*

I wasn't that type of child, I was outdoorsy in that I occasionally ventured into the garden to carefully bury future archeological relics or take artsy analogue pictures of the neighbour's horse. But as I've explained earlier, I'm going through somewhat of a second puberty nowadays. And the time has come that I establish that special bond with a gorgeous ecru snapback with emerald embroidery by Kenzo. I've been lusting over this one so badly and you can imagine my glee when my big sister got it for me. I was a little worried it wouldn't fit over my bouncy 'fro, but I needn't have worried (I just can't take it off in public, maje helmet hair). So as dusk settled my sister and I explored the old salt factory, the neighbouring fields and what must be the only graffiti in our pristine village.
The sun's last efforts complimented my cream colour scheme quite nicely, wouldn't you say?

DON'T CALL MY NAME, ROBERTO

So, apparently mister Roberto Cavalli - aka the king of "Eurotrash chic" designs - has had it with the fashion industry. In quite a hilarious turn of events, he unleashed his rage against the machine on his official Twitter account this evening. And I couldn't be more thankful, or entertained. There aren't enough brackets and sic's  in the world to quote what he said, so I just had to screencap what went down! Like lyrical perfection, these tweets are what make R-Cav great.

It all started with Mr. Cavalli's discontentment about fashion websites and the fashionable side of organised crime:

Then he shared with us why Anna Wintour never shows up to his shows (which is quite a juicy tidbit, if only he hadn't spelled it like a Croatian five year-old on barbiturates would):

Unfortunately, he lacks power to change the system:

He subsequently spearheads the search for Gallic talent. Franchement!

Luckily, there is some love for American fashion design. Just not for older women.

Hashtag LOLZ.

Support the cause

Check out these t-shirts by Marc by Marc Jacobs ($24)! Not only are they cool, but they also show your support for equal rights for same-sex couples seeking to get married. Sadly, not every country or state can be as avant-garde as Belgium is.
