Airport Outfit

My holiday to Malta is looming and as I am admittedly a packing and airport control freak I have set today to be airport planning day.

I have been getting inspiration from the WWW, and have come to the conclusion that this is how not to do it...

Slightly impractical Gaga?

This is more my cup of tea. Full marks Rhianna...

This would be the perfect outfit for me...

Comfy yet stylish. Loose maxi dress, warm enough on the plane but should not break into a sweat when I arrive. Casual jumper for if i do get cold. Stacked heel shoe, easy to slip off on the plane and will save me weight in my suitcase for more unnecessary clothes. Over sized bag for all my bits and bobs. Classic watch and sunglasses to accessorise.

Vali Myers, Witch musings

Vali Myers, the dancer, artist, muse with crazy red hair and a tattoed face was the inspiration of many writers and painters including Tennessee Williams, Cocteau, Genet and Dali. She was born in Australia but moved to Paris when she started drawing, then she fell in love with a 14th century villa in Positano, Italy, and indulged in another passion, stray animals, which she sheleted. Crazy Cat Lady? One of my personal career aspirations. Then in the 80′s she moved to New York and stayed at the Chelsea Hotel and befriended Patti Smith and Robert Mapplethorpe. She later went back to Melbourne in late 90′s where she died at the age of 72.

I've always had a fascination with witches and Myers had often been accused of being one. Apart from that, her sense of style and the portrayal of her is very witch like. In a cool bohemian, sexy way, as aposed to a fake cobweb halloween, stereotypical way.
