RAFW - Not a volunteer after all!

I am soooo disappointed! I applied to be a volunteer for Rosemount Australian Fashion Week (3-7 May)and I was over the moon when I received an email from them asking for my available dates when I can work. Sent that to them and was advised that I will get a response is 10 days!!! Just to receive an email rejecting me! Uhh! Being rejected for volunteer work is a bummer! They went on about 1500 people volunteered and they only wanted 300! They also went on with saying that I am on their system now and will contact me for next years RAFW. Well, im not so sure if I still want to work backstage on RAFW.. I am crestfallen and not a happy camper at all! (But, I cannot help it! I sent a second registration just to make sure I will be accepted next time). My hopes and dreams of helping designers such as Lisa Ho, Alice McCall and Kate Sylvester are gone! Well, im putting myself together now and ironing my hair to feel a little better about myself.

OUTNET.com's $1 Birthday Sale!

BAAAAAH! HUMBUG!!!!! I was so thrilled to hear the news weeks ago that Outnet.com the sister shopping site of Net-A-Porter is having their first Birthday Bash by selling designer items all for $1! So why the BAAAAH HUMBUG!!! you say? That $1 Sale is today! And I totally missed out! In Australia it started around 9pm and I just got back from watching the Clash of the Titans. And when I opened my yahoo mailbox, there it was my invitation and I crazily clicked on it and selected my size and there were only 2 items left! AAAAh!!! a Cacharel tweed jacket and a Karl Lagerfeld skinny pant! I clicked on both and they had NO LONGER AVAILABLE on them!!! Ahhh! So, yeah Bah Humbug is all I can say to this... Good marketing strategy though..

How to style my Combat Boots!!!

The last time I wore Combat Boots was when I was in High School, we had this extracurricular activity called PathFinders - first aid training for the military. We had to wear the comouflage uniform with our combat boots, we looked like soldiers! We had to march ,do drills under the hot sun and I hated it and always called in sick.HA! Memories... Now, I just bought a pair of grey Combat Boots from Payless. They are comfy as hell and would match my grey leather jacket from TopShop. So, how to I style this? Fashionably? I googled, flipped pages of the magazines, more googling and finally found the right "search words" and found tons of inspirations from Polyvore.com, Chictopia, and pictures of celebs who have successfully donned the combat boots tough chic look! I was ecstatic! I can wear my Combat Boots for Casual Fridays at work! So this is how I styled mine.. and I did get some looks :)

Balenciaga Giant Work Bag - Black Bag Nominee

I would love to own a Balenciaga Giant Work Bag with the gold hardware - which is rare. It looks timeless, durable, HUGE and can be my potential ultimate black bag! I don't have a great black bag so, I would like to nominate the Balenciaga Giant Work Bag!

MY FAVE MODEL -ABBEY LEE KERSHAW

From fainting at the McQueen show wearing that tight corset to ruling the catwalks and being australian is a plus- My fave model is Abbey Lee Kershaw. Yay to gap teeth!

PROENZA SCHOULER PS1, I DIE.

This month, I received delightful news at work. That we are finally getting redundant soon... It never gets more specific, but atleast this time they told us that they will give us a date by the end of this month! YAY! It's a good thing for me because, for one I hate my job in Superannuation and two, I want to work in the fashion industry and do an unpaid internship in Grazia magazine or Marie Claire which my school will set up for me. So, what's with the Proenza Schouler PS 1, I Die title you say? Well, the redundancy news has trigerred urgency on my shopping and fiscal matters. Meaning, someone needs to pay up her credit card and start saving before the income flow stops! I know i will get a descent redundancy payment and all, but i would rather keep that for a huge overseas trip or my dream city pad deposit. So, whats with Proenza Schouler PS 1, I Die title you say impatiently? Well, i have been crushing - achingly crushing on this bag lately! I have seen the bag before, Leighton Meester has been spotted wearing the bag in different colours (Lucky Bitch! - not my words) and I have seen them way back and now the itch is back. The sad thing, is I cannot buy the bag at the moment... but I have promised to save for it after paying off my Mastercard and maybe get it in time for my birthday. So, for now.. i will post pictures of it on my whiteboard to stop shopping, pay off the mastercard and get a sweet reward - a PS 1! I Die! Check out the pictures for more drool worthy inspiration.

Nude Reality

Okay.. I do part time modelling to feed my creative side because my job is platonic and boring. When i say part time, its like twice a year. I answered an ad for a model and it said it may involve nudity. Met the french photograper this weekend for the go see & saw her work. Let me tell you, It was FULL ON - but i must admit quite tasteful. Her passion is Nude Photography, now I haven't met anyone with such passion - let alone a female. So she liked me and would like to have me pose for her Dark Panther shoot. Its for the world to see as she is competing for the Photography Exhibition in Sydney & the photo will be displayed in the meseum for 1 month. To add to that, she is also a teacher and will be having 6 photography students to take pictures along with her. My boyfriend has been the sweetest man and only says, its up to you baby. Cute, I know - but really? Would I go nude for $200 for 4-6 hours of photography? The lady clearly said - the poses are my choice. I can cover anything that bothers me. Umm... everything? I have until tomorrow to decide.. and I have a feeling I am going to say, NO. Don't feel like being a Yes man on this one.
