*my favourite dish in the world from Curry Chong @ The Central Markets, Adelaide!

With the events and happenings of the last few weeks;
I have been making the time, even if its only 5 minutes of the day,
To do and enjoy the things I love.
Something as small and simple as painting my nails; leaving someone a message on Facebook, buying chocolate/pistachio tarts from the Central Markets; taking 5 minutes to read your favourite magazine;
Or buying the green dress I really wanted and not giving a crap about how much it cost.
(Okay, I actually got it in Black AND Green)

Life is just too short to not enjoy it...!
I hope everyone who is reading this is having an awesome week;
And if you aren't?
Do something that makes YOU feel awesome instead...

With 2 less assignments and a pending Fashion Parade!

Headbanded a Truant;

When you least expect it...

Cumulus Nimbus;

So an obligatory late night post!

Getting all Romeo and Juliet:

"My only love spring from my only hate..."

Well, I loved it, then hated it, then REALLY hated it, then hated life, then had a cry, then loves again!

Snippets of my Fashion Illustrations

So, I feel that I already have a style, and its very me.
And I know that I will possibly be chastised for it;
As many lecturers have said my work is very distinct.
...well?  If I'm my own client, I only have to please myself.
And I feel pleased.

I feel like amazing things are going to happen this summer, y'kno?
Like, things are FINALLY coming together-
For some reason, and don't ask me why, I have felt so... not unconfident;
But not ready.

If you haven't heard of Crystal Renn?
You should read her book.
Not only is she an amazing plus-size model;
I think she's a model human being...

Anyways...
Self-acceptance and self-confidence is seriously lacking in young women today:
If your friends and nearest and dearest don't make you feel like you're fu¢king awesome-

GET RID OF THEM.

Lifes too short to care about what miserable people think...

Late night delirium and way too much caffiene;

It Started In... Adelaide!

Why Hello there!
While I'm sure I've been terribly busy...
I can hardly remember a thing I've been up to...



Jeykl hiding in the machine
















It must have started with Racewear Induced Amnesia... here's it half way through my machine.  I didn't sleep much that week!... But all sooking aside; I'm really happy with the outcome - and if you look back to the sketches.... It's pretty true-to-life; anyways - who actually cares for anything apart from IT LOOKS AMAZING!  And I invite anyone and everyone who reads this to come along to the TAFE SA RACEWEAR PARADE, October 30th, and the Jekyll Hyde dress will be there! 



Rhett Butler... ♥
















I am still obsessed with Gone With The Wind;
Planted the seed to Shannan that I think the boxset would be much better than the standard!
SO MANY SPECIAL FEATURES, and cards... oui la la!


Dough. @ the Central Markets.  Choc Pistachio heaven... ♥♥

See that green stuff?  It's like pistachio cream.  Bitter cocoa tart.... Delish!
So many wonderful and delicious places to explore @ the Central Markets, it makes me feel so lucky that we have something like that in Adelaide!  I spent a Friday just wandering... then a D&M/Cocktail date with a BFF... Absolutely bliss!

Don't Step on the Caterpillars... they are baby Butterflies }{

The insects have my back when I get overwhelmed...
Must be a residual child-hood fascination... but they always appear when I need to be told TO CHILL OUT!


Rainbows.

Spent an afternoon road trippin' and rummaging @ Savers with another ladylove!
SO MANY COLOURS!


Bedazzles, and Fraying... tres chic!
















I secretly love these jewels, no better way to show off your love handles!



North Adelaide, LOL




I saw this months ago and had to get a photo when I was in the hood!

Was fairly impressed when I showed my Mum that she knew exactly where it was....

Had my first Fashion Parade @ work;
Had visits from my olds, from BFFs and interstate friends!
Had way too many assignments... but love it.

Off to Melbourne tomorrow...
Wish me luck and shopping victories!!  xx
