Study Can Be Harmful

Exams are painful. Even worse when you know they're PRACTICE ones, ones that have no credits attached ie:worthless. its very hard to motivate yourself to study for PRACTICE exams. so i explored "picassa" a photo editting thing.. just because.














i totally wore that crazy red scarf to school for "slipper and scarf day" in our Mid-Winter festical (which i totally ran!) sweet.
anyway exams are dull, almost over though which is good. Next up is Jacks Ball, for which i have designed and am planning to make an ORANGE DRESS. jack totally HATES orange, it'll be great! And after that I am off to Auckland for my classes Fashion Trip. We're doing so much, we even got free tickets to Cybelles show! I am so excited. Meadowlarks Jewellary will be in this show, a personal favourtite of my sisters. and i heard that when the killers were in NZ, Meadowlark gave Allison Mosshart a few of their pieces and she was totally wearing them in a magazine article about the dead weathers. thats just a fun fact. OOH and my sister also told me that Cybele custom made and designer a wedding dress for the designer behind meadowlark, and it was oh so very cute.
to add more, we got the tickets for Cybelles show through a frienda at my school whose aunt is also the sewer for Cybelle, her "machinest". bizarrely small world huh?
so it'll be a whole lot of fun, we also will be meeting the designer behind the madame hawke part of Ruby, whose clothing is so cool. two girls wore their dresses to my ball and i was in all honestly green envy. my home made dress looked like poo next to them!

sorry this is a bit boring. but to be fair, who the hell reads this? no one reads it. just as well huh? !

sometimes..

i walk past this stream nearly everyday on my way to school. i always see awesome cloud formations and sky reflections in it.. and on the first day of spring i decided i would actually take a picture!





i have just been too busy lately. its been a whole woosh of business really.
but more, or possibly nothing, about that later!




this is a belt i found in our Fashion Class Room.. i love it! My mum thought it was her old belt buckle. i plan on making it into a necklace!



the light this morning was lovely.. it was reflecting in the mirror in a really cool way that i couldn't capture on camera.. dam my amateurishness.



this outfit feels like a ballerina outfit.. the wrap cardigan makes the grey tee shirt poof out like a little ballet skirt. its very fun to wear!



mixing the photos up.

Jacks on his Nationals tournament right now, WISH HIM LUCK!!

If only...

Ever since the Fruits exhibition came to the Dowse (when it wasn't New), i have been really intrigued by the Japanese style, as has the rest of the world. I'm so envious.
The Hutt is just not somewhere being Fashionable is common, and fashion is simply what the shops are selling, or fat pants and UGG boots. And even if it was, i don't think it would be anywhere near as cool as the Japanese.
i was reading about a Japanese Icon on The Girl With Kaleidoscope Eyes, Mademoiselle Yulia. she's a Nylon Japan columnist, a Dj, SInger and jewelry designer. She is also awesome. and i felt like sharing.

but i don't know, would half the things people in Japan wear, be "cool" and fashion forward if it was anywhere else? who knows. but i know i really like Madamemoiselle Yulia.





Ps the headphones she's wearing are the ones Jack is thinking about getting. personally i love them. What do you think?

Deep South Part 2

And that is the photo summary of our South Island Adventure! we snowboarded, shopped, watched skins, ate, explored cities, traveled at all hours of the day, and took in the amazing land. i loved it.
thank you!

The Deep South.. Part One

Moraki Boulders on a grim day.. spending the day in the car lead us to leap out of the car at any chance!




Oamaru, i love the buildings.



Lake Hood: A man made lake in the Middle of Ashburton. mean to be their own "venice", the houses in the area have little jetty's to get onto the water. its apparently very popular in summer.



Our bad asss Leathers. bad ath. heh.



The most vicious and adorable Kitten ever: Paddy! Named because Jack's Grandparents got him on St Patricks day. this poor little guy only has one kidney and was missing a testicle.. then they found it and it was tiny! poor thing. it still doesnt stop him from being able to tear skin and leap meters off the floor.



Christchurch!



The New Brighton Pier, Sadly the town famous sand Artist was not present. i think it was the freezing weather that scared him off.



this was such a fantastic video shop! it reminded me of Empire Records..




Christchurch had all these darling alleyways that had been done up in very creative but rustic ways! it was fantstic.




We stayed in very nice upmarket Backpackers, called Living Space, in both Dunedin and Christchurch, they were very nice and both had great facilities. I definitely recommend them to future travelers.



this was at a delicious Mexican restaurant, Jack and I both stuck to what we know and love best.. Burritos!

all in all, it was a fantastic trip.. but these pictures are just the start! there is more to come :)
