Procrastination during my exams led me to my room. I was getting over how i could never find clothes, and when i did, they stank. I also bought some new stuff. heres some photos of how it spruced up.

As well as cleaning i have done a fair bit of shopping in the past few months. I should probably stop buying sunglasses in winter, right now...

I am currently intrigued by the stylishly androgynous senior style director of US Elle, Kate Lanphear for a few reasons.

1) most of the stuff she wears on a day to day basis can be masculine enough for a guy to wear, or if your a girl you can do what she does and add certain statement pieces such as heels or jewellery to make it less manly. I haven't seen gender versatility with women's fashion like in a while so i give her props for that.

2) Her hair. I don't want to know how unhealthy, damaged or dead it is, it's fucking cool and due to my almost jet black hair, i would never be able to pull it off so i want what i can't have.

3) No matter how sleep or food deprived she looks in photos, she is 100% committed to her career and i hope one day i'll have at least half the drive and ambition she has.

Nothing says class and style than what appears to be knock off Chanel shutter/comb sunglasses. Once you have finished wearing them on your nose for no real reason (other than being a douche), i guess you can comb your ratty over processed hair with them. 

Now to the good stuff.

 I'm a fan of statement eyewear as it can make an outfit looking instantly more expensive. Eyewear trends include, wayfarer inspired (not normal ray bans), circular frames and/or circular frames, and flat tops.

Recently i've bought three new pairs of sunglasses, not sure why three but oh well. The first pair i bought are exactly the same as the ones in the image above except they're in a brown/tortoise. For $20 i'm pretty happy.

The other two were bought on bitchingandjunkfood.com. The ones below i contemplated buying when they first came out, but decided not to. When i decided that i was going to commit to buying them, of course they sell out...  I received an email from them on Monday saying that there online again and so i got them. I'm still unsure where i'm gonna wear them other than halloween as lady gaga or maybe a music festival but they are a hell interesting addition to my sunglasses collection.

The other pair i bought are called chunky wayfarers. I really like them, they hell remind me of the ksubi pairs above, but for a 1/10th of the price at £16, which is roughly $30AUD. They're from Bitching and Junkfood but they aren't officially on the online store yet. I saw them on their blog and emailed them asking whether i could buy them with the circle sunglasses above as it would save on shipping. Waiting for a no from them i was surprised to actually hear that they would! So fingers crossed i'll get them today or first thing Monday.

The old days

Exams are completed. No uni for 6 WEEKS AND 4 DAYS! A whole lot of time designated for nothing means posts more frequently. I went through all my photos in my laptop which is over several years of my life. It showed how soo much can change as well how many phases i can go through. Here are a few of the less embarrassing ones.

According to mum, my clothes were from oshkosh bgosh... bahahaha

Fast forward 12 and a half years and we come to my emo fringe and plaid hoody..

Hilarious.

By the summer of 2006/2007 i cut most of my hair and dyed it brown.. unfortunately by the end of summer it has turned orange :S

So many good memories from that summer. I wish i could go back and re-live it all over again.

Thanks to getting my first job (at boost juice) i was able to buy some pretty cool stuff, but looking back at it, most of it was terrible.

To clear this up, i NEVER wore this in public. Let's leave it at that

Who doesn't want to match their shoes with their shirt and their shirt with their tshirt? Man i was cool :|

The photo above was from the summer of 2008/2009. At this point i had been attempting to cut my own hair. Obviously it didn't come out too well.

At the start of year 12 i came to my senses and started going back to the hairdressers. The suit i'm wearing is my favourite suit. It's a shiny Marc Jacobs suit that i will hold onto forever. Not just cause it's Marc Jacobs but because of the memories i've had wearing it. Every time i think back about it i smile about the stupid stuff that suit got me into.
