oh daisy

I havent posted anything in words for a while, but the truth is, i havent really been getting up or doing much lately. Being last term the amount of school work/assignments has been pulled up a high amount and with exams in about a month my lack of organisational skills is proving to disadvantage me at times like this, ergh!
Also have my school social coming up DURING EXAMS?! (social is a casual formal, school formal btw) and i've found a pretty neat little dress, but its from an online store in England, so hopefully i can get it shipped over in time; but i'm not too sure about the high neck, i am a fan of them but they dont seem to suit me very well so an alternation may be in place. I also need to buy some shoes, hopefully the Siren cage ones (because in reality i cant afford the YSL ones) or some new black pumps.

OH yes, i had yesterday off school and managed to drag myself to a little thrift store in the city with steph in look for old books to use for this terms artworks(...book as art). To our suprise, we found an extensive collection of back issues of magazines such as Vogue, Russh, Oyster and Yen for only 5ocents! and luckily for us, it was 1/2 price on books so we picked them up for a mere 25cents, absolute bargin. I also havent done an outfit post in a longlong time so this is what i wore yesterday-

Thrifted gold blazer, long white pleated singlet, matte leggings, lace up ankle boots, necklace,
alishas bracelets and thrifted black leather bag.

Thought I would leave you with this photograph, its one of my favourites with Daisy Lowe, Pixie Geldof and Alice Dallal featuring in it. I'll try to keep updating if something comes up.

heel down.

! I recieved my first Ebay package today, very exciting. As I've said before, I really wanted those suade acne pumps but as reality kicked in it was never going to happen so as i was browsing Ebay a few weeks ago I came across this online shoe store running via the website. So I checked their stock and my luck they had the perfect pair of affordable patent leather pumps- very exciting :D Although mum was reluctant to let me buy shoes of Ebay (incase they didnt fit) I pursuaded her ...yet again, I seem to have very good skills in this to let me buy them. They fit perfectly, so very happy.
But I'll be doing some DIY work on them, got my markers out and am about to start colouring the silver bits in black

I also had parent+teacher interviews for school on Tuesday, wasnt really anything out of the ordinary. They basically say the same thing every year, and I also got my half yearly report- did quite prettyyy well so im happy about. After I went to American Apparel in the city, that store is so hard to navigate around, i was planning to choose something in the store so I can buy it online (i have a 30% off thing for online store) but I couldnt find anything that I had picked out in the online store. Not happy.
This is what I wore to the interviews:

• Black leotard w/ zippers
• Black Dress on top
• Stockings
• Blue/Grey new vest
• Navy blue leather bag
• Boots

I dont really have anymore news at the moment, but i'm very excited for the long weekend. I'm planning to get alot done, including getting cracking on my major work for art this term- eeekk!
These are some great photo's of Alexander Wang and his studio, I reallyreallyreally want that sofa, even though I have no where to put it. Everything is so clean and crisp aswell, highly jealous.

this is my blogging face.

We hadnt made a collective post in a while, so we thought it would be a good time to make one.

Nadia:

So tomorrow (Monday) concludes my half yearly exam period with my english speeches, nervous as fuck seeing as public speaking is surely not my thing but what has to be done, has to be done. I'm not ready to go back to full days of classes though, hm.
During the absence of my blogging i came across this great jewerelly line by Norweigian Bjorg, its so refreshing to find such an artistic and unique promotional advertisement to showcast jewerelly.

As she delivers her latest collection with stunning imagery that would fit right in place with a Tim Burton film Bjorg has had a diverse and creative career travelling the world and living in India for 3years. The results of this being pieces completely unique in style that is raw, innovative whilst being elegant. The combination of contrasting metals and precious stones in an industrial style, Bjorg often uses animal motifs along with poetic text that has been engraved into pendants and inscribed into the rings.

Last night me and Alisha went to Cyprus' party, twas goooooddd. Myself being housebound for the last 2 weeks, it was refreshing to see everyone and their usual state, ahah. This is what I wore:

leather jacket
scarf as headscarf
black+cream tye dye look dress
stockings
necklace
and NEW BOOTS ;)

Alisha:

Well hellooooo, I havn't made an appearance on this blog for quite some time as I've been pretty chock-a-block with my uni assessments and just being a rockstar in general haha. So you've all probably heard the stereotype that music students are always drunk or on some kind of illicit substance. Well It's not always the case but most of the time, proof in the pudding is my most recent case of liver failure - thank god it's all sorted out now though because I do enjoy to kick back at the pub after class and throw down few, as well as the weekly party and odd gig throughout the week.

Which reminds me, at our Platform & Artist Development class on Friday some second years got up and played us some tunes in their bands, one being a great acoustic duo who's name has escaped me unfortunately, but they had only been playing together 4 weeks and they were fantastic! They have a gig at a pub next thursday on Foveux St. in Surry Hills that I and many of the JMC folk will be attending so I'll post up the details later in the week if anyone wants to join us.

The second band that played were a mash-up of two bands with an interesting twist, a really funky dude who always wears sunnies and sometimes mysteriously appears in my History of Pop Music class was playing around on his laptop throwing down beats and synth loops that created the backbone of the piece. One of our teachers Branco then revealed to us that he was also a beat boxer and a rapper... what a hidden talent to have.

Well, well, well..the things you find out about people. So Nadia has already talked briefly on Cyprus' party this weekend. I decided not to get myself into the usual state of drunkeness and chilled out with our good friend Jimmy and laughed at all the drunk and high people making fools of themselves, the most memorable being a strange fella "gabbering" for a few seconds then stopping, it was hilarious and put us in tears. That pretty much sums up my night...

So this is what I wore:
strapless cream dress
black blazer
various bracelets
necklaces
ripped black stockings
black wedge heels (not pictured)
