I went to Hyde Park to take new photos for my portfolio yesterday. My friend Jessie helped model .. Thank you!!! And she was brave enough to be drawn on the face by moi as I am quite infamous with my makeup skills
Yesterday, out of 250+ photos (at one stage we had to delete a whole chunk just to make more space on the memory card) only four turned out decent, after the shoot I picked up the camera and did a few outfit shots
What a dress.. so many trends combined into one! Stripes, black & white, bows, florals, puff sleeve, chiffon

By the way.. the three dots on the arm… they’re not moles it was just to test an eye makeup technique but it did not work out

garda lake.. signs of spring… by http://www.flickr.com/photos/lagodigarda/
Every six months I get this familiar sensation that comes over me and it kind of feels like an attachment or longing for something once it is too late or gone
There is three hours left until the last of Winter for 2008 (the last of Winter 2008 full stop) and three hours until Spring
It has got me thinking that as every second passes, we can only look forward to the next seconds and past time can never be re-lived..
Anyway…
When it is Winter I want it to be Summer and be able to wear dresses, t-shirts and sandals
When it is Summer I want it to be Winter so that I would be able to layer clothes up and accessorise with cozy knits and I think of how great it would be if it were Winter so I can start to wear all the outfits that I have conjured up in my mind. But when Winter actually comes I am clueless about what to wear
I hope that I will be more prepared in Winter 2009
2009 sounds so far away, doesn’t it?
BTW in the next few days I’ll be re-organising VIPGirlStyle again
“Of The Moment” will become Fall/Winter 08
“So Next Season” will become Of The Moment

The Myer fashion show was on 27/8/08 (Wednesday) So sorry for not posting this earlier!!! I know why because I was rushing to get an assignment done on Tuesday night and spent most of Wednesday having micro-sleeps at uni lectures
Some Aussie talent exports there.. to my very limited knowledge was models Tallulah Morton and Alexandra Agoston-O’connor
What is in: cinched waistline, shoe boots, florals (in Spring yes… groundbreaking isn’t it) and YELLOW!!!

I love this ad! Ai Tominaga looks so radiant here and her son is adorable
Multicoloured stripes obviously look fabulous on many kids and GAP makes great striped knits (obviously)

Last Thursday I went to the design mart at Powerhouse museum with my friend Jessie there were so many SO MANY beautiful and innovative things to look at I get the impression that design is kind of a fashion thing in Sydney right now and I’m kind of glad that Sydney or the trendy areas of Sydney such as Waterloo is being promoted with a design/creative culture
I’m craving for more creativity!!!
This is one of my favourite products at the Designboom Mart it’s called Play Card.. it’s a very light plastic gun and you can shoot the plastic targets with elastic ‘bullets’ I hogged this game for too long before I realised that there was an army of other people who wanted to try it =(
You can view more of this designer’s creations at his blog http://whatisfuntime.blogspot.com

My friend Jessie bought this adorable Ocktober bag at the Youngbloods section of the market, she’s one of the first owners of this bag, don’t you just love it??! Photo was taken by Jessie

I am loving this outfit at the moment and the bag goes perfectly with the look! (trend alert: slim black pants!)

In the past week I have been volunteering at the Rosemount Sydney Fashion Festival the event is the first of its kind in Sydney that is being open to the public it was a truly amazing experience.. everyone from the models, backstage crew to photographers were super duper nice and professional
On the last day of the shows I decided to take my gigantic camera around with me to take some photos for you, my lovely readers!

Oh what a neat row of chairs!! This is when I arrived at 10am

Entrance to the runway
