Doodles.

I went food shopping with my sister and al the other day, and i, like a child begged for crayons. I've been having so much fun with them i have doodled all sorts of things. Its amazing! the only problem is my pack has no black or white??? Like seriously, what has the world come to??? everyone is so conscious of offending some one, it actually becomes an offence. Like how i get offended when people say no offence. But thats another story.
So i did some recreations of some outfits i've designed and made. Now that i think of it, these designs would have suited the eighties. As bad as it sounds. I love it that way.

My formal dress. I was so proud of myself. My inspiration was breakfast at tiffanys (as you can see my back panels are similar to audreys black dress) and ballerina. I wanted a short one cause its more me.

formal breakfast with my friends

my brother was the seamstress(sweat shop man)


My birthday dress... I didnt design this. And that really upsets me. But i altered a balenciaga ss06 design. And since i am a Filipino/a i added the traditional Filipino sleeves.


my working bench is made of my pillow, and my funky hot plate my pal rebecca white gave me. She found the block of wood on a hike, and treated it. I was gonna use it when i bake, but i am seriously enjoying it as a paper rest when i draw!!

DOODLES AWAY!

RAE MORRIS

OKAY! i kind of have this thing for make up! and I think. Well i know, RAE MORRIS IS SUCH AN.... Well i dont wanna use the word inspiration, but she is some one i aspire to be. well not be but be like. SHE JUST SCREAMS GLAMOUR. and i love how she loves what shes doing. I've been obsessed with her work since 2008 when i got her first book. "MAKE UP the ultimate guide"
Now i have her new booook EXPRESS MAKEUP!
I tried a look today and turned out pretty good, although i lack tools, and brushes, such as a kabuki, which i totally forgot to but on my xmas list:(

Im looking forward to doing Midnight metals, where the glitter is applied with latex! She also clothed the model with glitter latex!!!!!!!!!!!
and I feel in love with her cat eye from MAKE UP THE ULTIMATE GUIDE, but now i think im loving MOD GLOSS!!


Her work is amazing. www.raemorris.com

Always.





I've been contemplating, lots of things. I don't know right? Well i have finally been offered a spot in the university course that I've been wanting to do since i was nine. It's about time right? Uhh. I don't know what next? Like I feel as though this year and the past few years , i don't know. I just feel like i owe so much to my last few years in high school and this year. although i cant go back to year 2008/2009 and say here's a DJ's gift voucher for helping me with my life, but i feel like after so much hard work i'm finally getting somewhere right? so.
So. So. So. I know the year is nearly finished and time to start afresh. And for once, i have a new years resolution. and i am so excited about it. 0% FACEBOOK
Well the idea came when i dropped my blackberry in the pool. I should have known it wouldn't survive so i could have taken a picture instead of insisting on my friend to jump in and play lifesaver. i thought well, i might as well try no facebook if i have no blackberry in working order. it'll be hard. but i then get to remember and focus on what is important. And get into the nitty grittttty.

i can focus on GOD. You know, i believe that the more exposed to the world i am (now that i'm officially and adult) (even though i dont feel like one) the harder it is going to be to keep the faith. So this is one important one to me. and this no facebook rule kinda relates to this you know. i feel like facebook makes me become a terrible person, yes i get to keep in contact with loved ones and ones i once loved, but I don't know, i seems idle to me. and i don't like that.
RELATIONSHIPS!!!! You may hit me with a rebuttal, saying facebook improves relationships. but to me, it makes me hate the world. i know not very nice right? i wanna focus on my beautiful family, and my handsome boyfriend, and strange friends...(i really do mean amazing:D) These people really impact my life so much, and i wanna be here for them 100% well maybe 0.1% of being here for them is on facebook, so ill be here for them 99.9% With this, i have this habbit of runninf away from people i know at the shops, not that i am a snob and hate you, but i get really shy. I think this is something i need to improve if i want to be in the industry, you know small talk and all. Which speaking of small talk my sister is queen of small talk, maybe i'll get helpful hints from her.
FASHION! have i ever told you i detest the word fashion. i believe it is one of the most misused words in the world. i see it as an art form, something conceptually yummy! and i wanna really get into it this year. no distractions. i wanna spend days in libraries reasearching, and hours on the internet on wiki and google. Knowledge is power, so the more i know the better it gets.
food. i love to bake. and i wanna experiment more! expand my pallet i know i've got a very shallow mind when it comes to tasting food. this is lame. i just wanna master the macaron.







anyway. these pictures are just pictures i found and liked:) and sheeeeeeeeeeee, i typed to much. if this were someone else's blog, and it had this much writing, i would have quit reading. i probably wont read this again. so sorry for all in impromper and incorrect spelling, language, grammar, etc.

LAST OF ALL! I WILL HUNT DOWN and RESEARCH NEXT BON JOVI CONCERT. maybe i could make it to Madison square garden??? yes please!

MASAI

I have been doing some thinking and I know now. Cultural wear inspires me. Whether it be the Zulus, Masai's, Aztecs, Mayans, Incans, Peruvians, Hawaiians, Igorots!!! But mostly african tribesmen and the south americans.I love the stuff. and im not talking about Zebra print and Leopard spots but i mean, jewelry and their idea of adorning their bodies. Its so amazing to find out the stories behind their "adornation". All those pictures are jumbled up. but I love it so much. Especially the ideas of colour and textures. So a few weeks ago i stumbled upon this amazing necklace/headpiece i love it so much and i wear it so often.

Tribal Lady





I admit i have been very busy. But its my birthday soon. and the means PARTY:)

I have this enchanted garden party themed around transparency. Ive been collecting glass bottles and jars since june, and yup:) its going to be amazing.

But appart from that, tafe has really got me going crazy. i found this amazing jute string, and ive been making all sorts of what not with it. for my studio garment i based it around wilting and whithering flowers.
So i made this jute and rafia necklace. i love it. It can also be a head piece:) if you wish.

Im still pending about selling stuff like this... Is this really what i want to do?
