RIP



i was shocked and devastated to hear of Alexander McQueen's death. 


a truly great icon of british fashion will be sorely missed.


what i found more shocking was, of myself. instead of thinking about how much he would be missed as a son, a sibling, a friend, a loved one  i thought to myself 'oh no now i'll never be able to buy any of his designs' 


this really bothered me and quickly chastised myself soon after. 
for some reason i felt so disrespectful and selfish because how can we say things like 'he'll be greatly missed ' when, for a lot of us, we never knew him personally. and what we're really missing is the fact that he won't ever  produce great fashion again.


i realised then and there that yes, it is true he was ingeniously brilliant at his work but your work doesn't always have to define who you are. 


i think i'd much rather have people remember me by the person i was...


then again,


this topic can be argued equally well both ways, because it's often the case where what you do, your actions, are a reflection of 'you'. i'm thinking now that they are one and the same, and it's impossible to talk about them separately.


what do you think? 


i know this topic is quite sensitive so i'll just make it clear right now that if you are by any means offended, that i do apologise and my intentions are not to offend, merely to provoke thinking.

supervisor: how're you going with your report?
me: yeah great i'll be done next wednesday and that'll be it..
supervisor: ooh good! 


this tuesday
supervisor: everything okay?
me: hm i guess so, still fixing the intro. i'll email you my discussion tonight to check


this wednesday (my last day, and we had good-bye numnums at morning tea time)

me: sure yeah, i'll send it in tomorrow

ACNE body

for someone who doesn't go swimming or to the beach very often (read: once, maybe twice a year. !ohthehorrorwhatthefuckdidshesay!? call yourself a queenslander, yeah i know..) i seem to have a bad habit of craving obsession with new swimwear. 


like dis one


maria from vanillascented scooped this baby up.

LOVER I DO LOVE YOU

went to the lover jumble sale today.


so worth it!


i was so happy to see and touch the clothing in *real* life and i bought 3 things. :3 and let's just say there was some major squeeee-age taking place



bloomers/bikini bottom


safari print
some new high waited shorts
i can't wait to wear this with brogues

also did see a lovely crisp white playsuit for my mum (only about $70! and her size! but another girl had 'reserved' it. ya win some ya lose some)


on another note, wow my last post was in october. oops. i can only say that i enjoy reading other people's blogs more than thinking up posts for my own. 


still, i think this blog is a good way for me to channel some creativity
