Last chapter

As much as I loved blogging I’m going to bid adieu. I offer my most sincere thank you to the sponsors, friends, readers most of all. I am so thankful for everything that has happened to me because of this little blog (being in TheAge, various other publications, meeting the most amazing, inspirational bloggers some of whom I am able to call friends now). Who knows maybe I’ll turn up somewhere else…. In the meantime there’s Instagram (@angelayang_) and Twitter (@angelayang)

New designs: 2 pieces

Birthday week/fortnight! Expect lots of new acquisitions/items labeled ‘gift’ or a hiatus, but I’m hoping it’s the former rather than the latter.

My new ASUS zenbook so far is probably the most exciting present so far, I’m pretty excited to be typing this from my new laptop! It’s a mac-a-like, because -cue the gasps- I’m a PC person. I tried, I did for most of my school stuff last year I used a Mac but when it really comes down to it, familiarity won.  ”Shun the non believer, shun!” I can already hear you, but we can work through this…

Prefall 2012, Sketched

I know it’s been so long since I last posted my sketches, I guess I just don’t feel as comfortable sharing them as I use to. I thought of a way to show less personal sketches and talk about the prefall collections; by sketching my favourites!

New Designs: Colour!

Wow, summer is well and truly upon us in Melbourne. As some of you might know; me and warm weather do not get along, I usually spend most of my summer “hibernating” in a way to avoid the heat and the sun, only venturing outside to forage for food… I MEAN FABRIC, forage for fabric.(I’m saying all of this in my head in David Attenborough’s voice, as you can tell by my slip of ‘forage’ I just finished watching Life of Mammals and am subconsciously commentating everything in his voice). Up until quite recently my wardrobe was dominated by black, grey and the odd splash of red but my recent fabric haul has seen a re-emergence of colour which has not been there since I was a toddler.

Pocketto Launch and some outfits

Last week I was lucky enough to attend the launch of Pocketto mag-the actual hard cover, IN YOUR HANDS version at No Vacancy, it was lovely to see Emma and Amie again (I helped out with a shoot a while ago) and it was a great chance to support another young’n . Emma’s the same age as me (I think) and it’s so great to see how far she’s come ever since meeting her at a blog meet up wayyyy back. It was a great evening- getting to flip through the mag, while having  a cider and listening to the fantastic music (seriously, kudos to whomever made the playlist-it was really hard not to refrain from dancing to the XX). I brought along some friends(well, mutual friends of Emma and I) We had some time to blow between school and the launch so we headed up to Harvey Norman where I gazed longingly at the bedside table/tallboy set I’ve been after for ages. Lovely to bump into Lady Melbourne again and finally met Matt from Style Tyrant (really should’ve gotten a picture) also caught up with Julie Ta from milk carton designs.I wore my new inkblot print skirt which I made the night before (I was just so in love with the print, I just HAD to make it to wear it that night)Skirt:My own design

To our dismay, our teacher didn’t get it-we had to purposefully line up in a row for the effect to be fully appreciated (and we also forgot to take a picture!).
