I'm not unfaithful but I'll stray

2008-11-04T03:13:00.000-08:00

There are two parts to me. One subsisting when I am by myself and the other when encompassing my social life. I am driven, motivated, and impelled to be something great when I'm by myself. I am induced by what I see and feel. I want to be something else then what I am. Outside this it is not that I do not want to be more but more that I get lost in what I already am. Sounds like something to be satisfied with yet I always regret things I do with even the highest confidence. So my ambition swings back and forth. I try to teach myself to stay on task. How can someone fear there own selves will lead them astray?

You've got to admit..There's just something about that house hold name supermodel appeal that you don't seem to quite get these days. Along with my other 80's and 90's obsessions, old school beauty like Cindy on the cover of Playboy gets me wanting to die my hair brown and painting on a beauty spot. Never thought could Playboy looks so tastefull. I've got bit of a girl crush even if she is 40 something now.

Usually, the thought of being anything but normal is appealing. There have been times where i would prefer to be worst dressed then to be the wall flower. But as I grow, and in some sence my sence of style matures I start to grow comfortable in being unnoticed. Attention is a tiring affair both bad and good. My wardrobe once was quite shocking bright. Now as I gaze into it i find myself quite calmed by the sight of light pastel pinks, navy, and black. Could be that I am more comfortable with myself, letting my words and personality show I am as bright as my wardrobe used to be. Could be that I might be getting a bit boring. But who decides what's normal and boring anyway?

Come As You Are

Oh how unmaterialistic substances can way you down just as the literal ones can. I have the drive for the future but I have not the motivation for now. I am in a constant day dream of past memories and fantasy. I can still feel his lips on my temple, stained as if it were ink of lust. I crave to throw morals which have said to be set in stone. But even stone can be overthrown. Hidden beneath layers of views and values of the most tainted kind of feeling. It tricks me so, and yet I am willing to be tricked.

Zippora Seven, a New Zealander, is a girl to be watched. The 16 year old has already been seen in the glossy pages of Lucire, Russh, Pulp, Frankie, Pages Online, Pavement and best of all French Vogue. "The next Kate Moss" is here and with alot of controversy and publicity over a Russh fashion shoot because she appeared topless and because of her age which is a nice ripe 16. I left the newspaper a nice reply..

"I myself am a 16 year old, a New Zealander, and most of all a big fan of Russh magazine. Honestly, I think your making a big fuss out of nothing just to have something to write about. Breasts for hundreds of centuries have been have been praised and are a symbol of womanhood. Russh magazine is, may I say the obvious, a fashion magazine made for women and girls who themselves (shock, horror, gasp) have breasts! As for children, unless the child has not been breast fed they have seen it before, the more you make it seem like something awful the more they want to see it. So please, they girl may be 16 but she has brains and your doing her and Russh magazine a favor because she is getting a great deal of media attention. So as the younger generation grows up, maybe your older generation should think of growing up sometime soon!"

Because please, don't mess with our fashion. Zippora Seven is here to stay tits and all!

Does fashion follow after the lifestyle or does the life follow after fashion?

Fashion and Life. To those who do not worship fashion like us the prospect of not being able to decide what to wear seems inadequate. If only they knew that the outfit you put together that morning was not as easily made as it looked. Same with life. I pray for the day that makes all this studying for my mid year exams and art folio panics worth while. Because life and fashion is not just black and white.

Love At First Touch?

Oh Alexander Wang, is simply as the boy who sits behind me in History class, is "top shit". Maybe it's because I'm young or maybe because I'm suddently feeling attached to wearing leather and slightly transparent mens shirts paired with my 6 inch mesh heels. Or maybe because he's just some fresh out of the oven freakin' sexy stuff. The designer who studied at Parsons Design School(where else?) joined up with his muse Erin Wasson (Who else?) to create his second collection. Prepare to see my new found obsession strike.

New Sensation

2008-05-18T00:06:00.000-07:00

As much as i want to remain wearing my second hand denim shorts and tight singlets here in Melbourne winter is definitly here. It comes suddenly here. One day its beach weather the next strap on 10 layers its 10 degrees weather!
So shocked by the weather change I quickly ran to my local newstand to buy the new edition of RUSSH magazine. RUSSH is a Australian magazine whom of which i would choose over Vogue (shock, horror, gasp!) because it's so good. My sad feelings of dreading winter were instantly washed away as i flipped through the shiney pages full of leather jackets and studded leggings. The question is..do I settle for being completly content with a closet full of beautiful black winter clothing like most of Melbourne confines to..or do I splash out and get that Camilla and Marc jacket in a brighter shade? Help?

Teen Spirit

2008-05-13T05:26:00.000-07:00

I am a true follower of the color black. I find myself constanly dressing in it head to toe. I only snap out of my black daze as a friend refers to me as "dressing like a emo". Despite my love for black there is something so effortly cool as dressing for your age. I'm refering to the teenage girls out there who much like myself, may be missing out. Please don't misinterpet me for saying I approve of still wearing the same Bardot dress every single girl seems to own and pair it with the same pair of tarty heels. I'm more going for the heavy boots paired with a delicate dress and cropped jacket. Or biker jacket paired with dainty flats and a splash of pink here and there. So let out your hair girls.

And if your outfit fails

or if your in doubt...

Wink, Peace, and Pout!

White heat all tangled up in blue with shades of grey.

From the March issue of RUSSH I am loooooving the takes on denim. Throughout Fashion we have seen some many various cuts, washes, popping up in all shapes and forms of denim. It is obvious to us that there are a few that are here to stay, for now at least.

Oh grey grey grey, how i remember my pair of Levis whom i adored and now look upon in disgust. Truth is, as seen already as it is I have always loved shades of greys blended into a outfit. Makes sence to use it as the perfect transseasonal denim shade. White denim has flared itself back. Don't let the fear of unfortunate stains let you not put it back on the menu girls and boys! Oh but in my opinion, the classic and i mean classic of all shades and colors would have to be your traditional shade of blue. I don't think I have met a living soul who would'nt suit it besides maybe..no acually, I stick to my theory!

On the note of RUSSH whats this horrible word going round that my long lasting love affair will have to end? Could it be the end of RUSSH? Oh what a horrible thought! It is only 21 issues young but.

Fingers crossed!

Untill then,

If in doubt, wink, peace and pout!

Suite Dreams

2008-04-05T20:02:00.000-07:00

On my holiday away in Bali, Indonesia inbetween massages and soaking in the powerful UV rays (a no-no without a wide brimmed Mimco hat, large ksubi sunglasses, a mix of sunscreen and coconut oil and a Zimmerman ruffled bikini) I had alot of time to ravish my fashion magazines along my private villa pool side. (Amen to the holidays which were much needed after a hard first term of year 11 of too many lit essays and history reportable tasks) Along my fave and classic magazines is NYLON. Within the Febuary 2008 issue (theme London) I came upon a fashion feature which my eyes ate upon. Suite dreams was exactly my cup of tea 'a romp at London's Lingham Hotel wouldn't be the same without truckloads of batty british fashion'. Oh bliss and yum yum yum. I love the palate of leathers, heeled sneakers, and layered bits and pieces. So even as I was sitting in some form of paradise it made me want to jump on a plane home to melbourne to shop. My oh my, my suite sometimes ain't sweet enough..poor little rich girl.

Intill then,

If in Doubt, Wink, Peace, and Pout!

Allô! J'mapelle S.

Okay, the truth is I am no where near french. Oh, but a girl can dream. Anyway, I'm S. I'm a newbie to the blogging scene. My new found love for fashion blogs has brought me to write my own in hopes someone might have the patience to hear me ramble about The Vogue Paris team as much as i do or how nice it would be to own a Christopher Kane dress.

Excuse-Moi, en ce qui me concerne je..

have to go and have sweet sweet dreams about that dress!

Untill then remember,

When in doubt, wink, peace and pout!
