winter style.

Back from a really, really long break. My mind is insane right now, I have so much to think about but I don't really know how to unload it in blog format so perhaps this could be the beginning.

I've always enjoyed Alexa Chung's style since I was in year 6. I used to sit in front of the TV watching Gok's Fashion Fix, really only to see what Alexa was wearing (and to criticize some of Gok's sometimes extremely whack styling choices). I think what attracts me most to her is that she's eurasian, even though she's only a quarter chinese you can still see it in ways other than her surname.

What I love about her style is her constant ability to transform such typical classic pieces (trench coats, loafers) into something that looks new and insanely stylish. She takes new season trends that are glossy, shiny and new but somehow makes them look very laidback and casual in a way that looks as though she literally just threw them on.

This type of style is what I hope to embrace throughout the cooler months ahead. I have already started to do so and will hopefully post some pictures up if I am enthusiastic enough.

meh meh meh

i don't really care. even if that's how it's going to be for an entire year. meh.

all i want for christmas.

some hats, like a bowler and a boater because i like them.

tan cowboy boots.

stripey t-shirt.

lots of different coloured wool.

couple of metres or lace. and chambray.

wonder, lisa mitchell.

screen printer.

lots of different coloured fabric dyes.

i like it. i like it a lot.

erm. yeah. so i really like it. but... i don't like spending money. i'm really overcautious. i think over things so much that if i loved something in the first place, within the next half hour i could dislike it. so, that's my problem. but i like the concept and the colours and everything. so maybe i'll just recreate something similar for my own 'visual pleasure' (quote Mr. Hennessy). The more i look, the more i like.

if i were a boy.

i wish i was boy sometimes. if i was a boy i could play soccer with boys my actual age and height. if i was a boy i would have less things to worry about. if i was a boy i stay skinny, even if i ate unhealthily. if i was a boy, i wouldn't have to put up with the constant bitching that occurs. but if i was a boy, life would be hell of a lot easier.






oh and here's some other photos that i like from the same photoshoot...

alice.

this photo reminds me of the part in alice in wonderland where she grows larger and gets stuck in the house. i used to be able to stand up in this cubby house, but now i can barely crouch without my head hitting the roof. time flies. i wish i was 5 again.

halloween.

i know halloween was weeks ago, but i have some photos to show you that i forgot to upload. i didn't go trick or treating but dressed up that night and made some jack-o-lanterns with my friend during the day.
