admiration?

"Frumpy sexiness. If I'm buying a t-shirt, I buy it oversized. I like oversized jeans, I like oversized denim shorts, I like oversized jackets. I like having an undone, loose feel to everything. You know, there's so much of a tomboy in me where I still enjoy wearing guy's clothes. More often than not i'll go to a store and i'll be in the men's section buying men's pants, or a men's vest, or a men's button-down shirt or something. It's hard for me in women's departments because the stuff is a little bit too feminine, or a little bit too frilly, or a little bit too girly."

This post is simply here to recognise how beautiful these photos are!

love at first sight.

I know that these photographs are from a back issue of ELLE magazine, however, I felt the need to post them on here and share them with you all. I fell in love with them the first time I saw them and continue to do so with every viewing.

These pictures are part of an ELLE editorial from March 2005.

my other half.

I miss my best friend Casidy Jade Morrison.














She is an absolutely amazing girl who makes me laugh everytime I see her. I wish that I could spend all of my free time with her because her company is the best thing in the entire world. I wish that she knew how much she meant to me and that i'm falling apart being away from her for so long.

eccentricity.

With my 'masquerade' formal fast approaching, i'm starting to freak out because I might have to go nude. After being informed of the event over five months ago, I started looking for the perfect formal dress. As I have a love for vintage clothing, I thought i'd stick with that idea and look for both a mask and dress which is vintage. I came close to finding 'the one' but after trying it on and realising it was a tad too small, I was shattered. Now, I continue my hunt for the perfect vintage formal dress. I refuse to turn up to the formal in a dress from a chain store which is so easily accessible (and risk the chance of wearing the same dress as somebody else there!).

I had a few ideas in mind when considering the dress:
- a short, backless number; possibly velvet or sequins,
- a 1950s puff skirt dress (knee length or full) complete with petticoat and boned bodice (purhaps a beige/nude colour),
- a slinky maxi in a bold colour (such as emerald green or ruby red),
or
- a jewel encrusted collared dress.

I am yet to find any dresses which meet the description of the above and stay in my price range, so i'm considering turning up in my birthday suit.

hypothermia.

Well, you see, I am usually a fan for cold weather; but after becoming accustomed to the sporadic rain and light breezes these past couple of months, i've come to resent it. I find it amazingly difficult to get out of bed in the morning lately (well, considering i leave the house before the sun comes up and everybody else in my house is still asleep may be something to consider).
I've been wearing a pair of half suede/half leather gloves to school everyday for a while now but since the freezing weather has erupted i've been wearing them all day. It's only a matter of time before i get told off for them not being part of the 'correct school uniform'.
Fashion knows not of rules and customs, I say.

generation gap.

I went shopping in the city with my mother on Saturday and i took her in RetroStar on Swanston St. We have this amazing appreciation for vintage clothing - i usually take days off school to spend the day sifting the clothing racks at overpriced antique markets - and the shop is full of delicate old gems. Needless to say, I fall in love everytime I enter the door and see the rack of beautiful silk, floral blouses. I wouldn't have expected it but my mum didn't like it! She thought the music was too quirky, the sales people too hippy-looking (i would never use words like that) and the clothing was too much.

I guess nobody will ever have the same appreciation that i do for sentimental clothing.
