It's only the beginning

TATTOO ART.

I know i am strictly a fashion blog. Well, that is what i told myself when i initially started this little project. I didn't want to be a blog that didn't have direction, or be a blog that just posted on anything.  But, the way i see it, you need other influences to be able to be "fashionable". So this is where the art world comes into play with my blog. You need the art world to help you know what works and what doesn't. After all putting an outfit together is an art form in itself.  For example: You mix textures, mix colours and tones, clash colours, mix prints, layer upon layer and in the end what you have created is a unique interpretation of your personality and personal style. A piece of art, essentially. Trends are usually made by people, who on different levels get involved with different artistic environments. This is why i like to find new artists or even post on old favourites and tonight, on this cute tattoo i stumbled across on Cobrasnake and also one i do not know where i found it. By enthralling myself into the art world it broadens my perspective on the fashion world. It helps me push the boundaries, between ordinary and extraordinary. And I love that. I love fashion and I love art, I always have and as far as I can tell, I always will.

I find it hard to know what tattoo to get. I only have one, but i want more. It's just too hard to make your mind up. I like looking at other peoples tattoos as they tell a story about the person. I have a fascination with sleeves at the moment.

Bec Parsons.

I am going to take my time and talk about the person behind the beautiful images.

It's been bought to my attention that Bec Parsons is one of Australia's most accomplished fashion photographers. Namely because, she is constantly contributings to top fashion magazines such as Russh, Yen and Oyster and also shooting many large advertisement campaigns. Her images are constantly over any fashion blog i read, i almost find her work hard to escape!  Bec is seriously a jack of all trades. She also has a self-published zine called. LOVEWANT, a bi-annual publication that is accumulating some serious attention. Definitely check it out!

I didn't make the connection between three of my favourite editorials of late, until i did my research. There's no point posting the entire editorials, as you all have seen them. I am just pointing out that i think her work is magical.

She has a blog also, however i am unsure how regularly she updates it.
 

Strut, strut, strut.

WHAT A DAY!

We strutted our stuff today, in front of the directors panel, fashion designers and industry peers at the annual Mercedes Benz Fashion Festival casting today. Over 300 girls and boys showcased their walks in hope to score shows in next months Mercedes Benz Fashion Festival. Here's a few pics from the official MBFF website, all taken by none other than Ian Golding. We were expecting it to take as long as last year to cast. But, it was over and done before we knew it! Well for my group anyway. There were still people casting at 1pm (we left at 11am). MBFF was a lot of fun last year. It's such an awesome experience. 

Good luck to everyone and fingers crossed!

Here's a shoot my boyfriend and I did yesterday. We pulled all our resources together and came up with what i think was an awesome shoot. The two photos above are two of our favourites, so i thought i would share them with you. 

Happy Sunday and I hope that your weekend was as fun as mine.
