One of my all time favourite editorials. I have a hardcopy of this issue of Teen Vogue and blown up versions of it stuck on my wall.

The editorial was in Teen Vogue and the images I found off google images.

So Jealous

2010-08-02T19:27:00.002+10:00

So basically it should be illegal for people to have bodies like this. Jess Hart is perfection and I'm also liking her shoe status, which consists of black docs and black and white cons. This is mainly because its the same as mine.

2010-08-02T17:58:00.004+10:00

I wish I could've gone to Splendor in the Grass this year. There were so many amazing bands playing, inlcluding THE STROKES, Flo + the Machine, Philidelphia Grand Jury, Last Dinosaurs, Whitley, Lisa Mitchell + stacks and stacks more. The atmosphere looks amazing too! When I'm old enough and don't have school, I'm definitely heading there! In the mean time, heres some of the festival style for everyone to admire.

Made a few new sketches :D

They're a little faint in the pictures, but hopefully you get the gist of the drawings. The second one was a bit of trouble, as the heel would probably snap in real life, so there is a thin steel rod that goes through every curve in that heel, just a straight rod, if you get what I mean. If you look hard enough you might see it, but don't kill your eyes.

Feedback :D plzthx

2010-02-13T16:31:00.005+11:00

So this is our third post on this news but my (ann's) first. Please excuse me if this is too much.

Truly the loss of an inspirational mind and an amazing creative genius who pushed the bounds of fashion and drew beauty from it.

Why is it that inspired and inspiring genius is often accompanied by pain and anguish? This is our compromise.

All I have to say is, I'm shocked.

R.I.P. McQueen.

Alexander McQueen was truly, truly a creative genius, challenging the ideals of beauty and creating incredibly beautiful pieces. His immense contributions to the fashion industry will be remembered forever. RIP Lee Alexander McQueen. x

RIPRIPRIPRIP

2010-02-12T20:55:00.006+11:00

An open letter to the fashion industry (sorry if it sounds insensitive and/or selfish):

EVERYONE- before you decide it's too much, or you just can't take it; just pause. think about your precious life. your beautiful, ingenious work or contribution. fine, even your uber hot shoes will do. you may not realise but it means stuff (in different amounts) to others. just randoms who fangirl your collections or latest editorials. influential and famous people too. not everyone thinks you're just a tool of the industry. seriously. WELOVEYOUWELOVEYOUANDAPPRECIATEYOUSOFUCKINGMUCH.

and if you really have to do it: dont hang it's really gross =_=

*sigh* D: loss of a great. the greatest.

That was the question which passed through my mind when i found these babies:

(So, yeah, I'm pretty bad at taking photos and my phone sucks. I don't even have a proper camera.)

I remember buying these two little jade teardrop beads a few years back, and regrettably I've forgotten the shop. I do remember that they had old tarnished Chinese coins (ones with square holes) and other types of jade beads, as well as some jade statuettes, so I will have to scour Chinatown and find that shop again :D

Any ideas on what to do with these? I was thinking about putting them on the ends of a lariat. What kind of lariat, i have no idea. Perhaps just linking them to the ends of a silver chain will be nice.

Drop an idea if you have one :D I'll post a follow-up about what I do with them, regardless, so yeah.

have fun :)

Now I just need to buy silver safety pins. I mean, you'd think little 2 centimetre coiled safety pins would be easy to find but nooo, they only have gold ones. I always thought silver was more common. Huh.

Luckily though the flats were only AUD$10 :D

Hoping your holiday season is serving its purpose,

flying glasses

2009-12-22T19:14:00.004+11:00

That's what I think of when I hear the word 'aviators'. Today I bought a pair of them. Unfortunately, they didn't have wings.

I was going to get a pair of unpainted metal frames but alas, the only pair of unpainted glasses left was missing a nosepad... Perhaps I can do something about the paint. Would paint thinner work to get rid of it?

Before I forget, Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays and Slightly Tipsy New Year!

Anyway, on my Xmas wishlist is this awesome Guerlain loose terracotta kohl liner because it's awesome and makes a very defined line which surprisingly lasts quite a while! From all the rave reviews on the net it seems like the product du jour. And I spotted it at David Jones the other day, tried out the colours on my hand, but sadly it sells for a suicidal price. But who knows? It's Christmastime, miracles might just happen.

have fun (especially since it's the merry season)!

Shoulderpads.

2009-11-28T11:52:00.004+11:00

Wow. It's been a while. And it feels like even longer because this morning, I discovered this late-eighties-early-nineties shoulderpadded baby, tucked in the corner of a musty wardrobe underneath a flowery 80's dress.

Sorry about the horrid picture quality, but I'll hopefully make up for that with wordiness. It's a fitted deep blue dress that comes to about an inch above the top of the knee, and it's quite flattering for those who don't really have curves - as in it makes the waist look smaller. Those sleeves are beaded (see the picture below?) and they're made of some kind of translucent crepe-y material. Sparkly :P Plus it has very thick shoulderpads which stick up badly if you raise your arm. :D

Top half there. Reminds me of this dress I saw on one of the girls in Guy Sebastian's song, 'Like it Like That'.

What do you think of it? Should I fix it up nice and put it back to use?

have fun!

confessions of a lazy, unmotivated knitter. + buy a white shirt!

2009-10-17T10:43:00.003+11:00

Do you remember that tofu pincushion I said I would make? Yes? The one with a face? Yes? Well, I have a confession to make. I've really only done one side :( I know, I'm terrible at committing to stuff. My (poor, very poor) excuses are that I have no black yarn to make the face so I should just wait for it and that I was busy experimenting with increasing/decreasing stitches. But of course that's completely illogical because I can still knit the other faces with the cream yarn I have and plus experimenting was finished two months ago. I do apologise, and hopefully after exams I can finish the rest of it.

On a lighter note (and possibly more helpful) if you live in Australia, be sure to buy a white shirt from Witchery. You can't go wrong with a white shirt and 100% of proceeds will go to research into ovarian cancer, so get out there! On top of that, it's an excuse to go shopping :D

Apologies, and get shopping!

very complex geometry.

2009-10-10T16:35:00.003+11:00

So today I attempted this geometric neclace, inspired by http://fatlace.com/ladylike/diy/ddlais-diy-geometric-necklace.html and http://www.parkandcube.com/?p=2865. In my head, it was going to be fully epic, but alas, due to my total lack of skill, it was not as epic as I hoped. Firstly, I totally miscalculated how many eye pin things I had to buy and I was two short. Then, halfway through the initial shape I was going to do, I ran out of patience. I still think it turned out alright though.

Oops.

Fall-ing

2009-09-10T19:23:00.010+10:00

A couple of days ago I went shopping with my mum (who I love lots) and saw this:

And found that Chanel has released their fall makeup collection: Collection Noirs Obscurs.

I love it!

A sophisticated yet emotive collection of evocative dark colours; it epitomises the whole sleek, fashion forward Chanel brand and Coco herself as well.

The eyeshadow quad - Les Folies Noires - is a stunning ensemble; deep green, almost-black blue, dark violet and deep burgundy. Standout colours for standout eyes, right?

Three beautiful lipsticks, with equally beautiful names: Maniac, Hysteria and Obscure. Maniac is a crazy-dark shade of red, Hysteria is black blended with aubergine to make a pretty hellish purple and Obscure is a smooth dark-chocolate brown - all with a sprinkle of sparkle.

Two classic black mascaras - Inimitable and Exceptionnel de Chanel. What more can I say?

Then - I lovelovelove this one - an Aqualumiere Gloss in Furious. Reds, browns and golds blended to make a pretty special gloss.

Eyeliner - in black, black, black, of course. Chanel calls it Demoniac.

Le Vernis: nail varnish, that is, comes in Diabolic (more black, yet not enough!), Forbidden (deep earthy brown), and Vendetta (dark, dark purple). Delish!

Also, an exciting release from MAC in the near future - November 5 will bring us their Mischief Makers Collection, 3 sets of 5 lipglosses and 3 sets of 5 loose glitter jars in colours of the holidays. Check them out! http://www.temptalia.com/mac-mischief-makers-collection-for-holiday-2009

I wish I could own them all :P

Love it or leave it?

Jeggings. I really don't like them. (Jeggings? You know, those weird leggings that look like jeans? Yeugh.)

Okay, some of them look alright. But overall they're just not my thing. Its a growing trend, I know, but I just don't like them, at all.

What do you think?

have funnnn...:D

Warrior

"Warrior 'Til Death" - a men's jewellery line by matina amanita based on medieval times, knights, the occasional UNICORN. Amazing stuff.

Love It Or Leave It?

White jeans? Love em or leave em? I'm undecided on this one. I guess it depends what you wear them with. What do you think?

Have fun!!

something in the mail!

2009-07-20T14:10:00.005+10:00

Just received something in the mail - no, it's not very exciting, it's just a gift offer from David Jones - but on the front there is a model wearing Estee Lauder make-up, and a very cool cuff. Does anyone know whether this cuff is anything special? Or does it just look nice?

cheers!

clever mr. louboutin.

I love how Christian Louboutin designs his clutches with little pump-shaped clasps. It gives the edgiest fashion quite an endearing quality (Yeah, I know. Just a bit stuffy sounding?).

have fun!!

seedbeads are...annoying

2009-07-14T19:25:00.004+10:00

Hello! Having a great time lazing round the house on holidays; I get to do one of my favourite things, which is making jewellery and other little crafty bits. At the moment I'm loving this great craft set called Bead Loom Bracelets by Ann Akers Johnson for Klutz. It's great for making birthday prezzies and 'cause it uses seedbeads, I can create really intricate designs. Only problem is, the needle is about as thin as a hair and I keep pricking myself!

The first bracelet I made! Yeah, it's a little tattered.

Close-up shot: FAIL. But you can kinda see the individual seedbeads (?).

This is a current work-in-progress :D

So that's probably why I haven't been posting more, but now you know what I'm up to. Also, I've been planning a DIY of these Alexander McQueen flats (top) :P They look fun!

one of my favourite shoots atm- an editorial from us vogue 03 based on alice in wonderland. beautiful styling and quirky interpretations of characters with quotes from the story. excuse my unintentional isolation from the rest of the world, but can anyone identify the model? tyz.
