Back in your head.

I was getting ready for work this morning and i found this dress in my wardrobe. It happens to be a dress my mum handed down to me and i have since altered it to a style that i like. It used to have straps and was quiet long. Now it is boob-tube and at a length i like. Oh, i forgot to mention it was also her maternity dress when she had me! She sewed it. So it is special to me. I love wearing it, but it's way too chilly for me to wear it today...I just put it on and took a couple of snaps so i could pretend it was 30 degrees outside. Below is the newest jumper i made for my boyfriend. You like?

                                                              

Romance Was Born.

Romance was born- "Dinosaur Renaissance" !!! Colourful claw-like fingernails that seemed to be about one metre long, elaborate headpieces, Alexander McQueen-esque reptilian dresses, spikes and a volcano on legs, it's probably easier just to look at the photos to understand this collection. There are way too many thing to comment on. Anna and Luke's (Romance Was Born duo) passion for fashion always comes through in their shows. I personally think their show was a masterpiece. A few of my favs: power-shouldered dresses (big fan of the high shoulder), brooch studded hot pants. The vest in the last picture is cute, i've been looking for a denim one of these so i can add some things to it...Kinda digging the mustard colour. My mum is going to knit me a mustard colour cardigan for winter! Weeeee.

Below is the "walking volcano" and in the other shot Dallys/Chic model Ema Taylor who i have worked with a few times. Her make up is amazing in this photo! All the make up was stunning for Romance Was Born.

Alex Perry.

I was not surprised that Alex Perry's collection was HOT, HOT, HOT! I absolutely love it! So glamorous! So much tulle, elaborate beading and structured shoulders!! I remember the first time i heard of Alex Perry. My mum and I were watching the Logies ages back...A TV star was dressed by him and my mum heard "I'm wearing Alex Carey"..Not "Alex Perry". She thought his name was Alex Carey. Very Cute. For readers other than my friends. My name is Alex Carey ( So now this story should make sense to you). In my books, he is KING.


I have been playing with a drawing tablet all morning. The "Alex Perry" header of this post was a quick job( so please forgive my skills). I was just seeing how to use it. It is pressure sensitive now as well ( Thanks to my boyfriend staying up late last night to install the software)... I keep trying to look at the drawing tablet as i draw, but i need to look at the computer screen for this one! He has a more expensive one, which has a screen you draw on but i don't trust myself not to scratch the screen! I hope that i can master the drawing tablet and use it more for blog posts! So keep your fingers and toes crossed that i will learn fast!

RAFW DAY 2

Rachel Gilbert

Zimmerman

Rachel Gilbert showcased a stunning collection which i happened to love a few of her mini dresses. My favourites are the one which i have featured. Samantha Harris (2nd photo) would look hot in a paper bag though. Her collection was filled with sequins, ruffles, crystals and paneling- both on mini and maxi dresses.Her first solo appearance at the RAFW! Woo.

Nicky Zimmermann’s collection is so beautiful, i never have a bad word to say about Zimmerman creations . The swimwear makes me miss summer already! Seven Months..I'm not counting i swear. Actually what am i saying! I can not wait til winter, duh. The make up and neckband is so cool. It took me a while but i really like it. Alexandra Agoston is so pretty! I have loved her for years.


Models to look out for at RAFW: Samantha Harris, Tallulah Morton, Sarah Stevens, Georgia Fowler, Stef "Bambi" Northwood, and Meg Lindsay as i have already noticed these babes in a lot of shows!
