I feel alive again…. sorta

i am in action mode. Writing, blogging, studying. There are about a million photos i wanna get around to posting and about another million I still need to take.

I was out shopping on Friday. One of my all time favourite shops is closing down and it’s 75% off EVERYTHING! It’s a cute accessory store. They sell tonnes of earrings, necklaces, rings, bags and so forth. They aren’t overly pricey to begin with and the fact that it was 75% off was crazy! So I bought a pair of gloves, a blue burette and a tiara. I’ve worn both the burette and tiara out. (Pictures are to follow because i have to up load them, just to add to the list)

I went out with my family and some family friends to a little cafe for lunch and wore the tiara. The shop owner asked if it was my birthday and then launched into a story about how she never wears Christmas hats at Christmas and rather wears a tiara. I got 75% off the tiara which was R200 and was then a mere R50…. i couldn’t resist. At first I felt like a total weirdo wearing the tiara, but actually, no one seemed to gape at me. I noticed a few people look at me skew, but nothing i can’t handle.

the blue burette was R20 once on sale, i don’t know what I would have paid if it wasn’t on sale. It’s really perfect for bad hair days and I think it looked really cute with my outfit of blue jeans, blue tope, denim jacket and the burette. Paired with a pair of earrings my sister bought be for my birthday. 

For the Record it’s the day before the show…

It’s tomorrow night! And Kyra, my saving grace, got a me a model in the nick of time! Thank you Kyra! I’m a ;little anxious for tomorrow. there’s a rehearsal at the school at 9:30 am till 12:00, then we come back to my place, eat, make up, hair, back at the school, dress, show time! I’m really enjoying all of the work. I’m really looking forward to putting it out there. Also I’m looking forward to my next fashion project. After the show, I think I’m done with trashion, but if I make  “real clothes” then it’s something I’d consider selling, maybe I ought to approach YDE (young designers emporium) and see if I can sell a few designs there…? I will keep you posted. Fashion show photos to be posted as soon as….

Royal Weddings

In the last 3 months, we have had 2 royal weddings. But in the last 5 years, not one…. Now we have 2! The fashion opportunities have been sooo fun! 

Kate Middleton and Prince William’s Wedding

Kate and William put on an amazing wedding. Kate’s dress was designed by the Label of Alexander McQueen by Sarah Burton. Kate had her fair share in the say of the design. The train was 2.7m in length and looked stunning. She wore natural make-up, a Kate hallmark. Her hair was half up – Half down and she wore a veil and tiara. It took Kate almost 15 minutes to walk the isle and it was obvious William was anxious to see her. The dress was kept a secret until she got out of the car at the Abbey. Then the press release was given that she was wearing Alexander McQueen.

The guest list was incredibly long and there were thousands of people watching from outside the abbey . and millions more watching the event on TV, I was one of them. I watched as the guests entered and arrived. I can’t say i was watching to see who was arriving as much as I was distracted by the fancy hats and dresses. The guests included all the members of the royal family, Kate's friends and family and even a few celebrities like Victoria and David Beckham. The king and Queen of Greece were also there. After the wedding there was a party/luncheon held by the Queen.

The Wedding Of Prince Albert or Monaco And Charlene Wittstock.

Prince Albert and Charlene met at a swimming meet in 2000 and then announced their engagement on 23 June.

Charlene’s dress was designed by Giorgio Armani. It was very simple in comparison to Kate’s. After marriage, Charlene became Her Serene Highness The Princess of Monaco; the last to hold the title was the Prince's mother, Grace Kelly. received the title of Her Serene Highness The Princess of Monaco; the last to hold the title was the Prince's mother, Grace Kelly.

I don’t want to sound horrible, but everyone I speak to about the wedding of Charlene and prince Albert, they all agree, she didn’t smile. There are many speculated reasons as to why she didn’t: It was very hot on the day of the civil ceremony, she has a very “gummy” smile, she had recently found out her fiancée (Prince Albert II) had fathered a child that was not hers. (Whilst they were engaged). So there are a few reasons as to why she didn’t smile. But In the attached photo’s I made an effort to find her smiling. The cake was enormous and honestly, quite a feature. Both Cakes, Kate and Williams Cake was also amazing

Fashion Show, Post 2

Well, with the fashion show less then a week away I am entering hard-core work mode…

List of things I still need to do:

• Need to find a model! I only have 3 and I need 4!
• There’s a rehearsal on Friday that I need to attend
• There’s a fitting today
• Final touches to the outfits
• Need to sort out accessories!

so, I’ve done the music, I chose Demi Lovato’s La La Land. I know Demi is cheesy and all but I first hear the song at a school music thing and I loved it. If you wanna hear it, click here. I think the song is really contradictory to the stereo type of models as is my fashion show range. I mean the stereo type of fashion is NOT trash…. Trashion. So I think I chose well, I hope….

The dresses seem to fit my models (the ones that i have) well. However I still need a model and I’d settle for a clone of anyone right now. My models are really great! I owe them all a big slab of chocolate…. Except one doesn’t particularly like chocolate. Not important.

Photos to follow in terms of the show and i’ll post my port folio next week.

A little help Please….

I am so struggling to write a half decent post… Like my English essays, I'll throw out a half dozen pages before I get anywhere with a decent essay. by the time i hand it in I’ve sorta got it and end up with an ‘A’…. So if you feel like grading my next few posts, don’t, they’re a bit boring. I’m ranting about nothing because I haven’t  a thing to write about…. well, nothing I can post on the public world wide web.

So sadly, today’s post is my English essay, that’s all I can offer….

It was the small things in life that made it worth living.

I had always had a crazy list for the man who would marry me. But when I was fifteen and married a boy because I had to, if I ever wanted to marry later on in life, I had to so it first while I was fifteen. That was when I realized that it didn’t matter if he was vegetarian or not, nor did it matter if he was afraid of spiders or not. What did matter was the love we shared, the promises we made: to love each other, forever.

It was what he did; the small things that made my heart skip a beat: a bouquet of flowers, just because, a quick kiss between classes, the adoring way he looked at me, how he called me “Love” and, his kiss….

His lips, his kisses…

The first night we lay in bed together, I was sixteen. I had told my mother I was spending the night at a girl-friend but had actually gone to his house. His parents and sister were away for the weekend.

I arrived at his house with a simple over night bag. I remember how he opened the door grinning. We had a candle lit dinner of “take-out” sushi, sitting on the floor of his lounge.

After dinner he ran me a bath. I tried not to “dawdle” because I couldn’t wait to get back to him.

After I got out of the bath I walked to his room. This was pleasantly cool after I had been in the hot bath.

We lay in bed together, we talked. I lay in his arms. When I did fall asleep it was in the dead of night with his lips on my neck. That was my first Love-Bite.
