Just because I’ll be studying Interior Architecture instead of Fashion doesn’t mean I’ll stop sewing+designing! I got the ball rolling by spending up pretty much all of my Christmas money on boxing day sales at fabric stores. I started doodling my summer wardrobe ideas on practice exam papers back in october, colour, pattern and a more floaty silhouette filled my visions. This is what I’ve made so far:Colour block orange and purple blousePurple lace and chiffon tie neck blouseBlue star patterned blouseGrey patterned tie neck blousePaint stroke tie neck blouseGrey twist shoulder topWhite twist shoulder topBlack twist shoulder topBlack chiffon midi skirtPurple two toned maxi skirtPaint stroke midi skirtTeal chiffon midi skirtGrey patterned ruffled maxi skirtGrey and black block skirtGrey and black body con skirt
I can’t believe I use to swear against wearing anything longer than a mini. What are your essentials this summer? Or winter if you’re on the opposite hemisphere?

PS. 600th post! Wooh!!
PPS. I got into Interior Architecture at Monash University so I think I’m heading down that lane, not exactly my utmost ultimate dream (fashion), nor a typical ‘make-your-asian-parents-proud’ Commerce at Melbourne U, but still a really great course and one I’ll be going into with a very open heart(and brain)! Any Monash readers?

I’ve had a hectic festive season and wish I had time to knock together a farewell 2011 post. 2011 was an amazing year, I was in The Age newspaper and Dolly magazine, finished high school and created around 100 garments and accessories. I hope 2012 is just as full of laughs, adventure and opportunities, for my academia (starting Uni!) and for my creative outlets(might give this blog and my website a facelift it desperately needs). It’s funny that whenever I feel the urge to do an outfit post it is always when there’s a sudden change in temperature. Change inspires me I guess haha.Navy Shirt: Teenie Weenie Patterned skirt: My Own Design Camel Blazer: LFDM Bicolour tights: Voodoo Spectator brogues: Rivers Fox ring: eBay

I have been caught up with reordering my university preferences and work. However I am happy to report all my studying paid of and I’ve received a fantastic ATAR, and 2 study scores(although called scores, are actually ranks) over 40, placing me in the top 9% for English Language (linguistics) and Visual Communications. My school again placed at the top of the state with the highest percentage of study scores over 40! Unfortunately even after all that + the pre-selections and interviews I didn’t receive an early offer at my number one preference so now I face the great conundrum of typical students at my school: Monash vs Melbourne University. For me, its Interior Architecture vs Commerce… Don’t fret- I haven’t given up on fashion, I never will, designing will be my goal no matter what course I pursue.Lace trimmed tee: My own design Cropped tweed jacket: My own design Velvet skirt: My own design Teal tights: Online Studded bag: Alexander Wang CocoBamnoo bangle: eBay Pumps: Louboutins Ring: ASOS

I thought of a way to show less personal sketches and talk about the prefall collections; by sketching my favourites!

My guest (Lisa) and I perused the collections with canapes and cocktails a-flowing (which made all the shiny sequins, glitter and colours POP even more-not that they needed it)! Weaving in between the gorgeous crowd, turning a corner to bump into Kimbra, then Alice Burdeu was certainly one of the highlights. Unfortunately I couldn’t stay for long but I managed to squeeze a quick hello to Lady Melbourne, Fashion Hayley and finally (!) met Esme&theLaneway who is every bit as glamorous in real life as on her blog. On to the clothes:
Shiny! SHINY!How adorable are these slippers?!Loved this bodysuit, if only it came in black!Suede and studsThe band that got us in, and “on the list” hahaInkblot dress: My own design Satin pumps: La femme de Moment Bag: Styleholic Jewels: My own design, ASOS and eBay
What a co-incidence, flipped to the first page of the MX to see this on my way home! So glad I wouldn’t have to wait until today and line up (ZARA style) to see the looks.If you can brave the crowds, I would most definitely recommend you whisk yourself to Chapel St and check it out for yourself.

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. Red and navy cotton skirt with pocketsPurple chiffon skirt with side slitTangerine blouse with peter pan collar and Palatinate body con skirt with drapeTeal chiffon dress with bowPowder blue and palatinate dressBlack and white dress with mustard drapeI still couldn’t help myself, my mum bought this beautiful double sided grey gingham and I desperately wanted to make something “Peggy Olsen” with it.

However, I have paid a well-earned visit to my favourite craft and fabric stores and whipped some designs up. Black and white ‘illusions’ dressTweed cropped jacket with bow and matching skirtBlack felt, grosgrain and pearl collarJudging by these you’d think I’d taken a trip down monochrome / corporate lane but fear not there’s another post coming up with more colourful and youthful designs coming up!
