Got the Frizzies

Rainy weather, frizzy hair and wet socks equal a miserable day. Today was a very boring wet day at Tafe. It is starting to become a constant thing now days, none the less who doesn't like cold weather. Although today was not up to scratch, I did manage to take a few shots of my mood boards from last term. There are fourteen mood boards and drawings, each one based on a different principle of design. These include line, shape, texture, principle of design 1 & 2 and some other drawings. I hope you like them.

P.S I am going away tomorrow morning to Darwin, the home of crocodiles and hot weather. Unfortunately I won't be able to have internet access as much as I would like. When I have the chance I will post a blog. I hope you all have a great weekend! Au Revoir!

look out winters coming!

Its getting colder out there, so its time to put our coats on and buy the hot chocolate you have been craving. This winters fashion trends are Aviatrix, inspired by famous Aviator Amelia Earhart. Dig out your old aviators and put on a shearling jacket, you don't need a pilot license to look out of this world!.Be naughty but nice with this seasons trend 'leather and lace'. Rock out with that leather skirt in your wardrobe and match it with a lace coat. Stand out in the crowd with your new orange flared pants. and accessorise it with your brightest pink heels! bring back pop art with this seasons trend brightly coloured pants. Other hot trends right now include ponchos, high slits, tuxedo, graphic tartan, yves klein blue, mid calf skirts, duster coats, graphic stripes and skinny belts!

I hope your day includes snuggling up to the cozy fire watching your favourite romance movie.

Currently I am researching Patty Huntington for Business at Tafe. Let me tell you now that she is a pretty remarkable women even though her bio on thepunch.com is only 4 paragraphs long. However her stories/blogs have been published in every Australian Newspaper and Buisness magazines! I mean come on, thats pretty impressive.


For those of you who are not familiar with the name Patty Huntington, she has been a blog writer for the last 20 years. Her blogs can be found on Facebook, Blogspot, Twitter and Twitpic under the names of 'frockwriter' or 'pattyhuntington'. She is a sydney based fashion Journalist and always has a front seat at the up can coming fashion shows. Some people love her others hate her but who cares about them.


Here is a picture of her for all of you, enjoy

It's a new dawn It's a new day It's a new life For me And I'm feeling good

Good morning!


I hope you all had a swell sleep last night, I sure did, however waking up at 5:30am isn't ideal haha. In about 20 minutes im off to the city to catch a bus to Tafe. Saying that I probably wont get home until 8 o'clock at night so I decided to upload the 'Outfit of the Day' now. I would of liked to have thigh high stockings/ socks with this but could only fine 1 sock haha! Anyways I hope you have a fantastic day.

P.S I have recently found an amazing online shoe shop called 'The Horse'. The link is below, Enjoy!

“Yesterday our troubles seemed so far away, I believe in yesterday.”

My sister Sophie and I organised to go shopping today in the city to get clothing for her and a few small things for me. Thinking that we should get our exercise we walked to the city which takes 15 minutes.  After arriving in the city we went to find this cafe that I found on the internet which uses our favourite coffee (Black Star) However, silly me forgot that it was a public holiday (as we all do). So after that small let down we went on the hunt to find Sophie a coat for winter. We ended up finding a beautiful velvet jacket after going to seven other different places before hand however it is worth it! Sophie's list consisted of-

1. Jacket

2. bag

3. Slip

4. Belt

and a few others that were not that necessary

Unfortunately after spending 3 hours looking for all of them we only managed to get the jacket, moisturiser and exfoliater which smells like pink grapefruit, YUM!  However I did managed to get my tea lights, a tree light for my room and a peace hanger from Oxfam. In the corse of all this I took a few photos of the Bleeding Heart cafe and of my outfit of the day. So I get home and put up my lights and other goods in my room and took a few photos of it so I could upload it on here. So here is me trying to plug in my camera to my computer and of course! the lead does not fit in the camera. In the end my sister tried to find the camera lead in the shops but its an old model so they did not have them in stock anymore. So unfortunately i have no photos to put up today but I am going to find the charger to an old camera that I might have found. 

 I hope you all had a great day!

P.S - I am in love with Peter Pan collars! there is not one thing that I dislike about them, they are cute, vintage and A-mazing.

first post on blogger.com

Hey everyone,

My name is Joanna and i absolutely love the world of fashion (even if it can get a bit bitchy at times). As I am currently studying Fashion Design at TAFE, I have decided that it is time to create a fashion blog. What I hope to get out of my fashion course is the ability and the determination to open my own shop. I want my shop to stock clothes made by young designers who are not well known (like me!). I will support those young designers that need a boost of confidence to be able to develop their own label.

The reason that I want to kick-start this blog is so I can channel my inner fashion ideas to the world wide web, i.e. to every single person reading this blog (it might take a while to have more than one person reading it but I will still try!).

Beginning tomorrow I will take pictures of outfits that I LOVE. The outfits will be a mix. It may be the outfit of a fashion elite that has caught my eye, or may very well be someone that is off to work. I am also going to try and make the effort to take a picture of my outfit every day. Like most of us however, there will definitely be the occasional day where I just wear trackies (or maybe more than the 'occasional' day..).

Finally, I will try to keep you all updated with the latest fashion shows and trends (that I actually know of!).

So to start off, here is my first real fashion post.


FASHION POST ONE.

.
Alexander McQueen Fall 2011 ready-to-wear 
There are no words to describe the detailing on this dress. Of course the downside is that it is most likely more than 20,000 dollars, but I will definitely keep dreaming!
