MY HEAD HURTS

I’ve been waking up very early lately. Between 6.30 – 8am, without an alarm. I know, I am a freak. I forced myself to stay up till almost 1am last night, which I know isn’t that late, but it is for someone who got up at 7am. Yet, I still managed to wake up at 7 this morning. This time, I forced myself to stay in bed until I went back to sleep, which was about an hour later. I had a dream, or more like a nightmare, that ended with someone stabbing me. That lovely thought woke me up at 10.30am. SLEEP IN! haha.

I’ll have to get through this blogging stuff quickly. I’m working in two hours, that’s right, I finally got a job. In no way does it help my future career, unfortunately. The job totally sucks, the pay is terrible. No, really, it’s below the minimum wage by like 3 or 4 dollars an hour. Plus, I hate waitressing. The people I work with are so boring. So I’ll definitely still be looking for better.

I haven’t been going out much lately, so I’ve been lacking motivation to get dressed in anything exciting. I don’t ever really use anything as inspiration for my outfits and I’ve noticed that quite a few other people do. So, I decided to pick eight looks from my fashion inspiration folder and try to create a similar vibe to these looks for eight days. I also thought that doing this might help me wear pieces from my wardrobe in ways that I wouldn’t otherwise. I chose the looks by just selecting the first eight in the folder.

First up is…

I couldn’t copy the looks exactly because I don’t own pieces that look exactly like this so I just tried to dress in a similar style.

I don’t think I’d usually wear this outfit, it’s a bit too simple for my tastes. Usually I’d wear a belt with an outfit like this. The lack of a belt made me feel a little too plain. I’m also thinking of selling these shoes now.

Next, we have

As you could imagine I definitely don’t have a dress like this. What I like about this look is the very girly, soft texture of the top in contrast with the plain sneakers. I don’t have any sneakers so the shoes I’m wearing are the closest thing. My boyfriend gave them to me for my recent birthday :)

This is another outfit I probably wouldn’t normally wear, but I liked this more than the acne inspired look.

Before I go, don’t you think those shoes are pretty damn cool? I love the print. I don’t think I’d wear them but I’d love a pair of Jeffrey Campbell Tardys or maybe the Cranky with that print. Would be awesome.

Oh, Oh, I just remembered! I got featured for the very first time on a blog :D you can read my interview with Sabla here.

AWKWARD

I went to the launch of an exhibition for an art school last night. I took off the wig in the car just before I went in because I didn’t want to draw too much attention to myself. I was feeling slightly vulnerable because the chances that I’d bump into someone I used to know were high.

What do you know? It happened. Sigh. I hate awkward small talk. I saw a girl that was one of my best friends in high school… the last time I saw her was like two to three years ago and she deleted me from facebook (not a huge deal) after I added her so I wouldn’t say we exactly drifted apart on ‘good’ terms. Talking to her was kind of strange and I have a tendency to over analyse every single thing I say in such awkward social situations so that wasn’t a very pleasant experience.

It was kind of interesting to see what people were wearing though, the artistic crowd always seems to dress a little better than most people in general. I saw a lot of sandal flatforms and clear plastic sandals. Wasn’t really a fan of the latter.

I’m not particularly thrilled with way these images turned out. Hopefully I’ll do a better job tomorrow. I have a job interview tomorrow! Sigh, it’s going to be another boring outfit day.

I’M THIRSTY

AAAAAH, I’m so bad at writing this blog! I’m sorry! Ok, where do I start? I don’t want this to be some boring diary where I just literally go through every single thing I have done so I’ll try to state it quickly. On Friday I handed in my folio finally.

Oh yeah, hot pink with a studded belt :D It needs a bit of fixing but, you know, no money so I’ll have to fix up a lot of things later.

That night was the launch of the Art & Design graduate exhibition show. That floral framed thing is my poster that I created for the exhibition.

That’s my little book, (actually it’s A3) *gasp* my name has been revealed. I checked out all the fine arts work and photographed glimpses of the work I liked most.

The fine arts jewellery section had some lovely things. My favourite collection by far was the one below. I would so wear that necklace.

Last night I had a birthday dinner with my family.

I did not like the cake my dad picked -__- so he let me order my own dessert which was nice of him. That mud cake was so good but too much, I surprisingly couldn’t eat it all so I shared it, which my cousins seemed pretty happy about.

Hopefully I will have something more interesting to type about tomorrow.

COLONIAL

It feels like yesterday that I wrote that huge post/rant about not having a 21st and reasons about it and blah blah blaaaaah. Yesterday was my 21st. Thanks to my boyfriend it was the best birthday I have ever had and I hope I get to spend every single birthday for the rest of my life with him. I stayed over at his place the night before because my brother, sister and dad were going to be at work so there was no point really waking up at home alone, plus I wanted to spend the day with him (boyfriend).

His parents and grandparents both gave me some lovely presents, I was so overwhelmed that I cried, quite embarrassing. I’m not used to people being so nice to me. His parents gave me a bunch of things that are adorable and very useful, I’ll photograph them later maybe. His grandparents gave me Daisy, by Marc Jacobs! A perfume I love. That’s kind of the reason I cried, it was too much… and I had a huge argument with my mum that kind of related to the perfume once, so I couldn’t contain myself.

During the day I had to run Uni related errands because my folio is due TODAY aaah. Had to pick up the pages of my folio and some other projects, thank the lord the actual folio book looks alright. The actual box I’m putting everything in has a little room for improvement but I can fix all that later.

For dinner we got on board Melbourne’s restaurant tram, apparently it’s the first in the world. I don’t know why but I have wanted to go on to the restaurant tram for years, since I was a child so that was a great idea and I enjoyed the experience. The tram moves so slowly, it’s kind of funny. I’m not really that interested in drinking alcohol anymore and all drinks were included so I gave them all to my boyfriend, which made him kind of sleepy, poor dude.

This is the dessert we opted for, a white chocolate parfait, it was fairly delicious. The other option was sticky date pudding, something we both hate. Plus we both love white chocolate, so this was the obvious choice.

A photo that will be explained soon…

After dinner we slowly headed towards the Eureka, the tallest building in Melbourne. Also a good idea because I’ve never been up that tower. I took some photos of Melbourne, the view was amazing and made us both feel so small and insignificant. Now my boyfriend is aiming to live in an apartment on a very high floor. Lucky I’m not really afraid of heights.

ALMOST OVER…

Sigh, I feel like a freaking blob today… I ate too much and drank too much coke zero and I feel bloated as hell. Plus, it’s been really humid lately, which I hate so I just feel completely disgusting. I’ve basically handed in most of my final work to get printed.. now I have to finish painting my box, stud a belt and add everything together and then I will be FREE to err, dread the oncoming summer. Man, oh man do I despise that season.

Anyhoo, I realised that I look less fugly without the addition of flash (I’m not very photogenic at all, no seriously, I think I look a lot better in video) so my boyfriend took photos of my outfit and I, sans flash yesterday. I purchased the flower crown to wear on Friday night so I can match my work. You’ll see what I mean later on in the week.

I’m sorry for the repeat but the colours… they just, looked so preeeeeeeeeeeeeeetty! 0___0

Me trying to get a closer view of my flower crown… it took a lot to let myself add this photo.

Me after dealing with gross humidity and heat today, meh.

Oh before I finish, I really appreciate all the non-spam comments I get and I thank every single person that takes the time to actually read and visit this blog, however many people that may be. Please don’t ask me to follow you or ask me to follow you if you follow me. It makes me feel kind of pressured and odd. I follow a few people on bloglovin’ and as you can see I have quite a few sites linked on the sidebar. I don’t ask those people to link or follow me back and I don’t want to be asked either. If you want to link or follow me, than that’s great and I thank you… but if you only want to do it for the same in return, than I’d rather you not. I only want people to link or follow me if they genuinely like my blog. Thanks :)
