Black Vs White


cape - self made / clutch - ebay / leggings - target


jacket - present from boyfriend / scarf - vintage / doc martins - sisters

My new addiction with black and white and everything neutral, so satisfying!
and makes getting dressed a hell of a lot easier as everything matches.
Hmm only downside would be finding enough different textured materials to fit every type of garment(wool blend, cotton, silk)
When ever i get a new idea or project the only thing i am pedantic about in the process is the material of it.
Drives me absolutely insane! i tried to make these pants-

But yes the material was whack. its ok it was only $8 :)
I made the cape in the first two pictures. i had already bought the pattern and really wanted to use hounds tooth fabric and i found exactly enough on my holiday to Bundaberg! C:
Busy with school lately so not much sewing going down but will let you know when i get onto something!

I just keep adding to the basics (cardi and bag) :)
I have likeee, 4 or 5 basic outfit that i always have at the front of my closet or sometimes just in my head when its super messy and then add things to it like a bag or coat shoes scarf etc depending on where when and what it is i am going too.
Saves times trust me y'all
Oh and yes i am a bagovore (get it carnivore?)
Mmm craving gossip girl like headbands but cant find many and all the ones on ebay are overpriced.
Speaking of ebay this is my new jacket.

Work It Owttt

Today i did so much work at school (more than usual actually)
So its surprising i still have any energy left!!
They say year 10 (sophomore year? the first year of senior school anyway) is easy compared to year 11 and 12 But i am working my ass off i don't even want to imagine the next two years or i might faint ha ha.
I have a surprise . . . . I will be posting pictures of me very soon indeed.
I have at last captured the camera and tripod!
So victory is mine :D
And yes i did win soccer yesterday, both games (under 15's and woman's)
it was raining sideways and very windy probably
10 degrees? FREEZING in other words :(

oday it wouldnt decide it it wanted to bucked down or not. If it wanted to be hot or cold and whether the sun wanted to come out or not!
Hopefully tomorrow i can go and see the new fast and the furious movie ^_^
Ad for The City is on TV and it makes me cringe every time i see how Olivia stole Whitneys look!! And then still taking all the cred for it when they were talking to the london manager guy. Poor Whit :(

Design & Decor







Today was time to ring our work experience employers to confirm the dates and luckily the lady accepted me :) Its at an interior
design place. Note yes design which in the careers book means looks over construction of designs etc. but i want the decorator side of it like planning, measuring and working with fabrics. I know i said i would really like a career in fashion and i do its first preference but seeing as i live in a small country town that's not really an option here so i had to go second best. Was i going to do it at Lincraft ? no i didnt think so :) Here are somebeautiful Moroccan interior pictures which i love and yes, magically inspire me

Polyvore IS Chic

i just made my entry for the polyvore & chictopia collaboration competition. i guess i'm happy with it but i hope i can enter many more :) school just came back from holidays, so its now term 2 for us and i am already not enjoying it, i really want to do well but i get bored so easily, luckily yesterday i got my fix of Russh, a truly amazing magazine and have just started reading it. you should really have flick through i know you will enjoy it as much as i do :) it has Karmen Pedaru (Yes, wearing Louis Vuitton :p) on the front cover and she looks beautifullll. i know it will take me at least a week to get from cover to cover but its so worth it, it inspires me to get up off the couch so i cant complain!
