August wish… I mean ‘drool list’

Just to get this clear and out there, you know? Incase ‘Sophie’ from the age is reading this (that piece about Bianca was utterly stupid). This is just a wish list, people can dream and fantasize, maybe you should dream a little instead of answers to “I want to get some clothes for my daughter, she’s 13, and anything showing skin is unacceptable! Any suggestions?”  with t-shirts from Supré and Roxy skirts. Poor little muzza kid.

Outfits

Since no one really bothers to check out my outfit diary(http://www.freewebs.com/angelayangdesigns/outfitdiary.htm) I’m going to post them here.

…And then I finally saw the light…but it only shone for a while

I’m not talking about the light to heaven, but the light you see after a rough time. As I was walking home I looked up in the sky, took a deep breath and changed the playlist on my MP3 player from ‘quick list’ to ‘happy music’. I felt a wonderful feeling I hadn’t felt in a while, general relief and happiness. The sky was beautiful, the clouds looked light and fluffy, the air was crisp and fresh with a tinge of the night, the grass looked greener, my bag felt lighter, the wind blew my hair just the way I liked it, I listening to ‘honey, honey’ by Amada Seyfried (from Mamma Mia the movie soundtrack). I thought to myself “hey, life isn’t that horrible, the weather is beautiful, my hair is sitting just right, I’m not awfully behind with homework, I ‘mended’ some ‘tears’ (purely metaphorical), I just bought some wonderful Nine West booties, my Vis Com work turn out exactly the way I wanted it to, I’m not hungry, I’m designing for the ‘spotlight’ formal wear competition”. The only not so wonderful though I had was “I wish there was someone here to share it with me”.

Then I thought “wait…. I said what? DESIGNING FOR THE SPOTLIGHT COMPETITION???????”

-Nearly faints and forgets all good thoughts-

I nearly hyperventilated, the competition ends on the 26^th of August, I only started designing for it today, I haven’t even refined anything, or bought any fabric and there was only a month to go!

The it dawned on me, I have loads of homework, the ‘tears’ were just covered up, I don’t have any waterproof spray to waterproof my nine west suede booties, I forgot to spray setting spray n my Vis Com work, I am craving comfort food, and I only have a few weeks to get all the info for my RMIT course. All of a sudden the sky looked darker, the clouds heavier and darker, the air smelt like fertilizer, my hair was getting tangled in the wind, and the play list reached its end.

I sighed, got out my keys to my house and though “eternal euphoria is just a temporary thing”.

 

Candy Underwear and Beige Linen

You’re probably thinking “she’s going to …” Nope. Far, far, far from that. Yesterday I went shopping with my darling friend Phoebe, initially we just planed to go shoe shopping for Phoebe, she’s a bit of a virgin to heels , then I re-decorated my room and realized I needed some beige linen and sheets go with my new simpler décor, then last minute on Friday I decide I should buy a really inappropriate gift for Phoebe as a birthday present. Ahhh yes, that’s where the candy underwear comes in, I shared this with the birthday girl, in case someone was already buying her candy underwear (I was close, Lauren is buying Phoebe underwear).

So off we went, (after school of course), thank goodness we go to school in the city, saved so much time! We we’re at Melbourne Central by 3:45. Actually we went to Myer and David Jones first, as they do have the best shoes and underwear. We browsed and browsed through rows and rows of Stella Mccartney, Willow, La Perla, Pleasure State, until we realized how ridiculously expensive everything was, then we moved into Bendon, Bonds, and Elle Macpherson, I was after a corset that hid my winter flabs. It was a fruitless journey, hugely disappointing. –sigh-  then we went to the shoe section… again disappointing, like in devil wears Prada “I’ve seen all this before”.  As a last resort we went to ‘Bras n things’ and found exactly what we were after… candy bra! Yep, and that’s what Phoebe’s getting for her birthday. HA! Jack will enjoy it.

Phoebe enjoyed my very fast walking and ‘jabbering’, “Ohhh I love shopping with you, you just criticize everything, it’s hilarious!”

After shopping we went to my mum’s office in search of chocolate, they didn’t have any left, but they did have old jelly babies, because Phoebe and I were so hungry we practically pounced on the jelly babies. It was a lovely trip. Followed by some not so wanted shopping with mum but that’s another story.

PS. Don’t even mention the linen, who really buyes $300 sheets?

I’m still here

-sigh- I can’t believe I haven’t blogged for…a few days. Don’t worry, I
won’t pull a ‘4inchheelsonly’ on you. If I leave I won’t get some poor
kid to blog for me. I’m alive and well thanks to that very nice anon who
sent me an email say “WTF HAVEN’T YOU BLOGGED FOR 2 DAYS??!?!?!!!” I’m
alive and well but very occupied with school work and running errands for
my mum. Right now I’m at school we’ve got 15 minutes of free time and I’m
trying to use all of it wisely. Well duh, that means write a blog. I know
this probably isn’t up to the standard I usually write in but hey. It
answers “WTF HAVEN’T YOU BLOGGED FOR 2 DAYS??!?!?!!!”

When I’m bored…

I do my vis com(visual communication) homework, duh, what else would I do? Math? English essay? No. This is my collage for my vis com folio front cover.

Crimson goodness

I guess I could write a blog about how my week was, or my shopping trip last night, or show you my new designs but I’m not going to. I’m going to post these pictures I took last night; I was alone last night until about 8-ish. Obviously I was trèsbored and the internet was pissing me off (I PMS like a bitch) so I sorted through my makeup box and planned my make up for my debut fashion show (which I don’t know when it’s going to be). After 3 full face make up applications and numerous ‘jabs’ in the eye with my handy mascara wand I finally decided on the ‘glamour’ look. Slightly bronzed face (1 part foundation, 1 part crème bronzer 2 parts moisturizer), bronze/gold eyes (darker on  the outer eye gradually fading into light gold), brown smudged eyeliner, white highlighter on the inner corner,  not too much mascara, light catching bronze blusher and matte red lipstick with a hint of  gloss but not too much. Ok, I look like a complete utter loser in it, but the right face, right clothes (my designs), and right occasion this could be perfect.

Foundation – Rimmel Cool Mousse

Bronzer – Rimmel body and face gleam

Moisturizer – Bioré oil free moisturizer

Eye shadow – L’oréal  colour appeal trio pro, Clinque colour surge in Desert sun

Eye liner – SaSa eye liner in brown01

Highlighter – Rimmel eyeliner in white

Mascara – Dior show in black out and also Estēe Lauder lash XL

Lipstick – BYS lipstick in Crimson joy( the only red I can wear, I love that it’s only $3)

Other- Nivea lip balm, SaSa eyelash curler, L’oréal  translucide powder,  L’oréal  concealer, Clinque repairwear eye crème

Xx Angela

 PS. unforgettable quote, Me “Thanks, yep, my seductive red lipstick”, Marla “Ahhh, that explains the crimson stains on Phoebe’s shirt “

With great excitement, comes greater disappointment

keep smiling

I got a hair cut today, and I picked up my new Miu Miu glasses. I should feel different, happier, superly hyper right? Well not really, my glasses still have a week of getting use to and my hair feels frizzy and too short. I’m disappointed I’ve looked forward to my hair cut and new glasses for a week. -sigh- I don’t even have the urge to write a long blog about it. Well I better got and lessen the stack of homework.

Au revoir, Angela

 

 

 

 

4 bites of heaven

I miss my quietmilk

As some of you might know my friend quietmilk (aka Bianca ), in fact you might have even gotten the link of my blog from her. Sadly has stopped blogging. It was so spontaneous I didn’t even know, but I understand why. I miss reading her blog, I miss writing strange, unpredictable and sometimes irrelevant also inappropriate comments. Quietmilk was my favorite blog, not just because her writing is superb and her ideas are original, but she’s also my best friend. I love you Quietmilk, I miss reading your blog, and yes, I’m just repeating what I said to you on the train 2 hours ago.

Shake, shake, shake, shake, shake it.

Yes, that is a metro station song. But that’s not what I’m writing about. I’ll writing about good old “so you think you can dance?”. Ha! What a show. Seriously I love it. But every time I watch it I get a huge sense of guilt and disappointment, you see, I use to dance, I use to dance very well (ballet, contemporary, ballroom and latin). Two years ago I quit, all of them, because it was so hard juggling school, social life, fashion design and dancing. I really wish I hadn’t, I really wish I had gotten more organized and fitted everything in. Now I’m losing my flexibility and some of my co-ordination, I would love to get it back. But like I said to Bianca today, “worrying and complaining won’t bring it back”. -sigh-

I forgot

I forgot how hard it was to go to school and blog. Especially going to my school. With all our homework, my inability to see Bianca, my love of reading and my mum’s new office view  I can almost forget I have a blog. But I do, and I like blogging, so maybe I’ll blog less frequently. I miss sitting with my laptop and blogging for hours on end… and it’s only the 3^rd day of school.

We love foreign languages.

My darling friend Phoebe is a lover of foreign languages, well she loves saying ‘interesting’ phrases in foreign languages. In the past 3 French classes she has learnt to say “take off your clothes, NOW!”, “I love you, in the pants”, “I want you”, “I want you, in the pants” in French and also “I want to have sex with you” in Japanese. Isn’t she a bright girl x

New designs

I’ve been so slow with my designs! Here are some new ones I did in the last few days. There are footwear and fashions. Enjoy!
