Hiatus: good for the soul

Devour Beauty has been on a bit of a hiatus thanks to many a life change of late. But rest assured we'll be back in business slowly but surely and now as a New York correspondent!

DB's big time girlcrush, Zoe Saldana has been a bit quiet on the fashion front of late, but she really stepped it up at the Star Trek promos this week in Calvin Klein Fall 2013.  Divine.

You know how I love a man in good threads.  Today's gorgeous Paddington find is no exception - indulging in this gorgeous Sydney Autumn sun, Helicious and I stumbled across Australian men's label WoodyRoo - a refined, slim cut men's label that I want to dress every man I know in.  I love a sharp line, a bit of college prep, a gentleman's fit.  I'm dying for the olive chinos.  So if you like a bit of Thom Browne, or you love your man looking like a bit of Goss(ling) go like WoodyRoo on Facebook.

Let's talk about how much I want this.

Reflections: Anish Kapoor

Anish Kapoor, Museum of Contemporary Art

 

“The world is a looking-glass, and gives back to every man the reflection of his own face. Frown at it, and it will in turn look sourly upon you; laugh at it and with it, and it is a jolly kind companion; and so let all young persons take their choice.” 

- William Makepeace Thackeray

 

Sharp, bright lines

 

LG, rocking a burst of pink.

Glorious Sydney (post) summer sun, silhouetting.  Reminds me of a Beatrice Coron paper cutting.

One of those days

"Don’t plant your bad days. They grow into weeks. The weeks grow into months. Before you know it, you got yourself a bad year. Take it from me - choke those little bad days. Choke ‘em down to nothing."

Speaking of: stylin' men

Fred Mulligan, well done.  Well done.  I am digging this tie, and the way it picks up the blue check.

Have fun feeling inspired.

Outfit of the week: hot damn mustard

via Go Fug Yourself

Even the mini-peplum on this can't make me like it less (and I really dislike a peplum).

Colour yourself

 

Rothko, via All Things Stylish

Staring at a Rothko makes me look inside myself for colour and depth.
