My brother (and my best friend)'s birthday was a few days ago and my family took my brother out to Centrepoint Tower Buffet for dinner :) I made reservations, but I needn't have - they're not particulary busy anymore, and it was a Sunday night, too. Hmm. I've noticed that people don't seem to be eating out as much as they used to. Places that used to be packed now have heaps of tables free, though this doesn't seem to be a problem for Noggi or Bay Vista. God, I love Noggi. (Sorry Moochi, your froyo melts far too quickly! CONSISTENCY IS SO IMPORTANT)























I've probably mentioned this a billion times across different social media platforms, but I was capped for two weeks (omfg) and I turned to Avatar and photoshopping as a result. Yay for cheap (??) hobbies ;D (But not really. As soon as I got my internet back I went on eBay like, straight away.)

Lately, I've been very inspired by the staggering compatibility of fashion and photography. I'd really like to take my 35mm out more often, so, to anyone and everyone who reads this blog, my one month holiday is coming up in a week and I'm going to hire myself out as a photographer to anyone who needs one for any reason! (Actually, I feel like 'hire out' is a bit misleading - I won't be charging, which is appropriate, I think, as I'm still an amateur!!)

I'm just eager for more professional photography experience, really, and I think I might actually take the time during my holiday to try look up and intern at some magazines or photo studios or something. Just thinking about this is getting me excited for my future!

My amazeballs friend Neel (click here to see my mini photoshoot with him) needs new headshots as he's an actor so I'm excited to have one project coming up at least!! :))))

Photos from Fran Dominguez (blog). He describes himself as being "inspired by female beauty, youth and attitude", and evidently his photographs stay true to that. Every photo he takes has so much personality of its own - each photo on his site is carefully selected. I once read an article about street photography which had instructions for burgeoning photographers to be very very selective about the photos one publishes, and I feel like that's exactly what he's kept in mind.






And here is a photo of the brilliant man himself :)



Hmm. Perhaps I shall conduct an interview with him via email. I need to branch out a bit, be more proactive. I hope this blog gets more attention :)

Wish me luck!

Oh, my, god, Jeffrey Campbell's Lita have taken over the fucking world and I am a sad, sad victim of it. OBSERVE, DROOL, JIZZ, ETC ETC ETC.


Okay wtf. Even his goddamn signature is pretty. I'VE FOUND THIS TO BE A COMMON FEATURE OF MANY DESIGNERS AND ARTISTS AND FAMOUS PEOPLE, THEY ALWAYS HAVE REALLY, REALLY ROCKIN' SIGNATURES AND HANDWRITING AND FUCK WTF? IT LOOKS SO COOL. MY WRITING IS SO SCRATCHY AND SUCH, IF SOMEONE ASKED ME TO 'AUTOGRAPH' SOMETHING OF THEIRS (pfft orite m8) I WOULD PROBABLY HESITATE CUZ I WOULDN'T WANT TO RUIN THEIR WHATEVER-IT-IS-I'M-SIGNING.






Are you serious right now? PASTEL Lita's? HOLLYYY. (I can't see them being super versatile in terms of outfits though haha. One would look like a permanent ball of candyfloss.)

And we need examples, of course:





White Lace Lita photo from BrownPlatform and Brown Lita photos from the lovely Willabelle at paledivision. HOTDAYUM ♥

They look a little heavy but so, so comfortable at the same time, because if you look closely most of the height is in the platform, not in the arch of the foot :D. DRROOOOL! Haha I hardly really drool over clothing but these shoes are verrry pretty! And very popular too~ (Feeling very conformist atm ?_?)

Click for BrownPlatform's post on Lita's here, a photoshopped mock-up of a Cosmic Lita that someone sent to JC's site and had it showcased and FUARK IT REALLY NEEDS TO BE MADE! LOL click here, and HEAPS AND HEAPS OF MOCKUPS OF COSMIC LITAS FROM a site called fashionlust or something like that but I lost the link for but click to see the image here.

I want the Navy Suede! I know it looks black anyway but I like that it's actually a really dark navy colour. I feel like I'm wearing a secret :3. #gheyjess



..Oh, look, they ended up making a Cosmic Lita after all. IT'S SO EXPENSIVE FML. Maybe I can coerce my parents into buying me a pair for ..err.. Graduation Present :33 LOLOLOL!



...

I should study. Slash go to sleep. LOL! Much lurve ♥

I'm fairly certain I woke up two mornings ago and was suddenly gripped by the desperate, potentially unending yearning for clothing. Since, I have impulse-bought four items plus a perfume and have purchased over five items online - and it's only growing. Here are some other things I've been eyeing.



ASOS CURVE Sixties Skater Dress with Belt : A$68.50 NOW A$39.66 LOLOL the .66



You guys have seen this one before (if you read my day-to-day blog that is!). My friend is seriously batshit X apeshit for this dress. I really HAVE been eyeing this for a while! ;D



ASOS Mixed Fabric Ruffle Dress : A$81.11



The only thing that bothers me about this dress is the fact that the colour is sort of like a ..cloying yellow or something. I don't know, it just .. I think it could be better. A creamier white, not such a yellow buttery one, would be more suitable. I don't care - I still think it's lovely, and there's always dye, I guess. :D"" (Even though I'd be pissing myself in fear that something go wrong)

Oh and the price. God. I'm not made of money.



ASOS Belted Shirt Dress : A$61.29 NOW A$37.85



I love this one, too. As you can see, my bodytype dictates that I suit button-up blouses far better than a cotton t-shirt, which is unflattering to my body. As a result, I tend towards anything that cinches at the waist to show that I actually have one XD. Not to mention that I'm looking specifically at dresses cause I want something to match the T-Bar shoes that I adore~! (Be warned, it's so girly you may feel a need to sanitise yourself in mud afterwards)





Cute as, right?! They're adooorable. Amazing. I love em.



:D AREN'T THEY LOVELY! And of course I've spied something that could potentially be my formal dress but like every covetous female I'm not revealing it here ;) BWA HA HA! Okay! See you guys later, it's 3:37 AM omfg. I really do think I'm turning nocturnal -.-"" Love! ♥
