Stella Mccartney for Target - take two

Launched on 29 October 2010! How could i forget?! Since last month I have planned how I'm going to print out a picture of what I want from the collection and get my brother to buy it for me as I am situated so far away from shops this days, working in Crows Nest and all. But, it slipped my mind and now I am just hoping that on Thursday there will still be even a tiny little Stella left in the coat hangers of target. Hopefully a few of my favorites will still be there.

Leaving the Fashion Family

I haven't posted anything for awhile. I have been busy with getting a routine going. Did my job searching, Its been 3 years since I have done some serious googling and job searching. And what made it even harder was that I was aiming to find a job in the fashion industry. I have been studying fashion for nearly 2 years and getting redundant from my job in the financial industry seems like a perfect opportunity. Well, I made myself very proud by nailing my first interview and getting a second interview with the General Manager of Pumpkin Patch. A kids clothing brand that is big in Australia and New Zealand. This happened more than 6 weeks ago. I was thrilled, but all the excitement died as the challenge wasn't there... and it was getting really.. how can I put this... blah.. And to add to the injury, as a starter in the industry my salary was just so low. So, im thinking.. Do I really love the fashion industry that I am willing to sacrifice my income and delay my future plans at the age of 24...or am I just an admirer.. and I really belong in the financial industry where I can be very useful and lets be honest, I can afford the clothes I love because my salary is not same as a teenagers'. So, I think I am the latter.. and I can say hello to shopping and travelling again because next week I am quiting my job and going back to my first family, the financial industry.. its going to be like the prodigal fashion minded daughter coming back because working in fashion ironically, doesn't give me the wings (aka money) to enjoy fashion!!! Its been great, but not that great. So to all of you out there that want to get in the industry at the age of 24, think about it. But if its for you, good luck :)

NEW YORK

So, I'm back home, Down Under. I lived a life long dream of walking the streets I've seen so many times on the small and big screen. I've seen the romantic Empire State Building and the amazing Statue of Liberty. I've enjoyed the lavish life of shopping from 9am to 5pm and literally shopping til I drop. I've been lost in the concrete jungle while singing "new york, concrete jungle where dreams are made of" under my breath while strolling in the green rectangle Central Park on the famous NYC summer heat. Strolled around the famous museums and watched Phantom of the Opera at Broadway. Enjoyed the culture, lights, food and endless line of yellow cabs. New York.. I wouldn't mind coming back..

Grazia Cabin Fever

so chic!

Backstage at MYER S/S 10

I am no Scott Schuman so do not judge my out of focus, blurry candid photos! Here are my sneaky shots from the Myer SS 10 backstage where I was assigned to dress a male model that was really... i dare say.. HOT.I loved Alex Box from Illasmasqua and her Cruella de Vil slash Daphne Guinness look. She wore the same outfit for 2 days in a row.. it must be her uniform. CHIC! Backstage crew went berserk when Kris Smith, Jessica Hart and Jeniffer Hawkins stepped out of the dressing rooms!

A bite from THE BIG APPLE

It's been a while since i have posted my little nothings. Some things have changed in my life.. some really good things. First of all, I am finally free of my boring admin job and I am officially redundant as of Friday the 13TH!!! Who said friday the 13th was such a tragic day. Secondly, I have planned a trip to New York City to visit a good friend of mine and it would be my first visit to the U.S.A. and my first solo trip! I have no time to have a cold feet about the whole trip because I will be leaving on the 21st of August! I must tell you, travelling alone is no cheap plan. It would have been great if I could split my accomodation bills, since there is no way on Earth I am staying in some "shared bathroom" hostel. I had a great pay out from my redundancy so that has helped HEAPS! I cannot wait to explore the Big Apple alone and take home I heart NY shirts for everyone! I will miss my bestfriend and boyfriend though.. but NYC fashion capital of US.. here I come! :)

Paris Fall Couture Fashion Week favorites

This is the first time I have looked closely at Paris Couture Fashion Week and I have to cast my favorites and if I had the couture worthy cash account, where I would wear this stunning creations!




I love this because its not splashed with uber bright colours compared to the rest of Christian Dior's couture creations for fall. I would wear this to a tea party with Blair and Serena. Yes, you can laugh.




I love how Jean Paul Gaultier sent his models sashaying down the runway with those lovely turbans so reminiscent of the LV bunny ears for some reason. Well, I loved this look because of the feathers which seems to be creeping on trend and the chunky jewel adornment. Almost show girlish but that's JP Gaultier for you. I would wear this in a night in Paris with my lover...

and this Elie Saab creation...



I will wear to a high school reunion! just for laughs, people.
