Suffering from Inertia.................

I've finished my course - last year - which still feels like this year!@?*!! Haven't made anything new or purchased anything even from an op shop or market - scrounging for my school fees and upcoming rent - which has been kind of fun being a tightass and not wasting dollars on needless shite and living like i'm loaded - so I'm enjoying living on nothing (but let's see how long that ceases to be fun)

Anyhoo, I thought I'd post this Burberry ad I saw on another blog because it's fashiony related but the first thing that struck me when I saw this was how hot the guy was - the guy on the right. Actually, he's not even that hot, but he's pretty cute, maybe I just dig his hair - I dunno.

Clogs....................................

You either love them or loathe them and I fit into the former camp.

They're Swedish, by Funkis and I shall find ways to incorporate them into many an outfit.

Have a nice day :)

My Latest, "I Made This"..................

I made this in class. We had to find a commercial pattern that resembled most closely our design, then alter it accordingly. I used a cotton chambray. I'm happy with the results :)

Australian and New Zealand Fashion..........

Fashion Exhibition

This morning I had time to kill so I ventured over to NGV to see the "Together Alone" - Australian and New Zealand Fashion exhibition. It was great to see some very left of centre designers work. I especially liked Material by Product and Doris de Pont for their quirky pieces. Also featured in the expo are: Romance was Born, Akira, World, Zambesi and Toni Maticevski.

The picture on the top is Material by Product and below is Doris de Pont.
The exhibition is free and runs until 18 April 2010.

My Sixties Chick Outfit............

Fancy Dress Party
You had to come dressed as something starting with an S or a D, as those were the hosts first initials. So I chose to go as a Sixties Chick because I never get enough opportunities to wear this dress. I bought it from Kinki Gerlinki about 6 years ago. I also wore black ruched leggings and suede patchwork platform boots. The watch is a 60's original and was a gift from a friend's mother - she used to wear it as a teenager!

I love my new jeans xoxoxo

Bettina Liano
I guess you can't see them that clearly, although the picture was taken to capture the graf behind me. They are high waisted and I looove them soooooo much :) I got them on Friday at the Bettina Liano clearance sale - yay for bargains!
I'm also wearing a purple Supre bodysuit and an Alice McCall cardigan/dress.

Don't Ban The Can
I haven't posted a thing or pictures from the "Don't Ban the Can" Festival as I was supremely disappointed. You could hardly call it a festival - 30 people in a tiny CBD laneway - loads of paint fumes. Last year was so great. It was held in a lovely huge park in Brunswick - hopefully next years DBTC will take place in an appropriate venue.

High Vibes Festival
Tomorrow is "High Vibes"Festival at High St. Northcote and I'm looking forward to the Sunny stage and hooking up with some people I haven't seen in a few years - should be good.

Another "I made this" Post.......

This is another item we had to make in class. I'm very happy with the results. It fits perfectly and I think the fabric I chose for the hood lining and pocket bindings looks pretty good. Now I have something comfortable to wear around the house instead of the ugly green fleecy thing I've been wearing for years.
