Alpha60 Dog Jumper

What do you think of my new jumper? It really does remind me a lot of the Givenchy FW 11 prints. I found it in the mens section (the Alpha 60 men's designs are way better in my opinion) and half price too ヽ(´ー｀)ﾉ Been crazy busy with uni the passed two weeks, photo shoots, planning upcoming shoots, sourcing, presentations, essay writing etc. but now I'm on a two week mid-semester break! And I'm working 26 hours next week... But last night I attended the Variety Op Shop Ball at Sydney Tower (just wait until you see my outfit for it, you can find a preview on my tumblr) a big post for that coming soon.

Sunday

Wearing: Bless 'Holiday Garden' t-shirt, Ksubi cutoff shorts, AA punctuation tights, Demonia suede creepers, sister's hat, DIY velvet choker, SEE glasses.

The weather in Sydney is being such a tease right now; warm and sunny for a couple of days, freezing and raining for a few days, then back to warm and sunny again. Saturday was busy as I was working on a school-related project, so I spent Sunday morning watching the new SBS Pop Asia channel on digital and the rest of the day in the city. I picked up a new jumper from Alphaville! I'll be posting about it later on. It reminded me of Givenchy FW 11/12 menswear, so I was like akjhfjdfgkhkfjd and it was reduced too so I basically had no choice but to get it ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

p.s. and oh my god I finally updated my Lookbook after 10 million years

Mathilda

Mathilda Lando from Léon: The Professional, my current obsession. I've found that film characters have become my main source for style inspiration these days, including Wednesday Addams, who also deserves an appreciation post. I've started DIYing my own velvet chokers, something I'll be posting about! and soon I'll have my own replica of Mathilda's choker ￣‿￣ I'm so excited to be seeing chokers around again~ I'm hoping these make a comeback:

Tattoo chokers! I still have a rainbow tattoo bracelet, but planning to get a whole bunch of the kind above. Along with the 80s, the 90s has got to be my favourite fashion era. What's yours?

Diesel Island

First photo by Hayley, all additional photos & editing by me.

Last Wednesday I attended the Diesel SS 11/12 launch party ("Diesel Island" ~ "the least fucked up country in the World") with Hayley and Leah, the editor of Fashion Journal! It was pretty sick~!! I wore an old Yeojin Bae dress, skeleton tights, lace socks, creepers and a single eyeball bow ^_~ because it seems I can't leave the house these days without at least one in my hair.

Father's Day

Happy Father's Day! We spent all of today on a hiking trip at Garie Beach, since my dad really likes camping and getting outdoorsy. I rarely go on hiking trips or anything similar but it was really fun and relaxing, and also the weather was perfect. I think hiking is a lot more enjoyable when you're up super high or near the ocean.

Long x Boy London

Long x Boy London t-shirt, Smiffy's stockings, Demonia creepers.

I'm in love with the Long x Boy London t-shirts right now. It was a hard choosing which design to get and I did consider just buying one of each ^__~ but this print has been my #1 favourite ever since I first saw it :') It's one size, oversized fit, even long enough for someone as tall as me to wear as a dress ( ﾟヮﾟ)b The stockings are a super cheap eBay purchase, I think they were around $8 including shipping? I had two problems with these stockings. #1 So I already felt these were risky though because they are Womens "One Size Fits Most" which I can't trust, because I'm an unusual height for a female, and sure enough when I tried them on, the crotch was just above my knees ._____. so I was all ready to give them to a short person or throw them out when I decided, heyy I can turn these into footless stockings and maybe they will fit my leg length, and it worked \o/ I just cut two slits in the toes. Problem #2, the bone print won't stay centred on your leg no matter what. Yesterday we did street style photography for class (I'll have to post those pictures later!) so all the walking basically caused the print to spin around until it was in completely the wrong position, like on the sides of my legs @__@ I re adjusted it and then 30 seconds later they had spun around again. So that goes as a warning to anyone planning to by Smiffys stockings. Otherwise, they do look really great and photograph well sigh.

Last night I went to the Diesel Island party with Hayley and Leah, the editor of Fashion Journal! It was pretty sick, the whole place was decked out as if we were on an island filled with jeans and models. I might post some photos later!
