Accessory Slut

Common Projects Achilles in motherfucking navy. My ovaries just prolapsed. They're $276 at Ssense but they charge $50 shipping. But get this, they have free shipping if you spend-wait for it-$500 and over. wtf. Play me out Oprah...

ACCESSORY SLUT

Haven't done an accessory slut post for a while and got a half-chub when I saw this delicious leather lunch bag on Tumblr.

DELICIOUS

But then I'd have to co-ordinate it with an entire outfit....

In my dreams I'd want these

But would somehow wind up with these...

And maybe spring for some Chloe leather shorts

But end up getting these off Ebay

Then I go out on the town thinking I look like this

When in reality I look like this

And before you know it my flat becomes a sex dungeon

FUCK MY LIFE

Accessory Slut

I'm not normally a fan of LV, especially if it's monogrammed but I make an exception for this bag. I mean just look at how ridiculously cute it is. And the colours! Old lady lavender rinse diamond with a mint border. Get out of my head Marc Jacobs. Oh but it gets better/worse. I know, lets attach a giant tassle on the bottom and then stick on a big ummm doo-dad! Yes, a phone cord snake skin doo-dad. Fucking blow me. I hate that I love this so much.

ACCESSORY SLUT: INTERVIEW

Oh shiiiiittt you guys! Up and coming Australian accessories designer Anna Mason has debuted a neat range of smart shoes and bags. I caught up with her and found out about the new range and her shoe pet hates.

Hey Anna. You previously studied fashion at RMIT in Melbourne right? You’ve had no formal footwear training (which is amazing because you’ve made a very chic debut). What led you to dive into shoes and accessories?

I have always had a thing for shoes....like many girls I suppose. But it was more than that, I used to spend hours walking around Leffler and NSW leather, just getting inspired. Particularly by metallics and cutouts.

What inspired this collection and what did you set out to achieve with your debut? Was there a particular shoe or bag style you were dying to do?

My debut collection represents Joan of Arc inspired designs which emit a masculine air while encompassing metallics and texture. I was dying to do the mesh boot. My makers had never tackled anything like this before, but were onboard and ready for the challenge. They meticulously did the cut outs by hand to achieve the desired look. They even made the tool to do it!

If there’s one item from your collection that’s a must have, what would it be?

The mesh purse. Its amazing. Kind of punk yet disco if that makes sense.

Any shoe-don’ts? Like when girls wear heels and their pinky toe curls over the edge as though it’s making a run for it. That shit is nasty.

Okay one pet hate is when people wear shoes and their toes go over the front of the shoe. Crocs. Gumboot fashion, I don't get that.

It’s early days yet but do you think you’ll do anything for guys?

Yes, I'd like to. Guys get overlooked too often, I'd like to do something for them to. Maybe even more of a unisex range.

Tell us where we can pick up these amazing shoes and bags (when I say ‘pick up’ I clearly mean shop-lift).

I will be launching in Feb 2010. My range is called INDUSTRIAL WARRIOR. I will be selling/ exhibiting at Penthouse Mouse, Design A Space (Chapel St & Manchester Lane) as well as my own webstore.
