I’m sorry I haven’t updated Ducklings. I’m still lamenting over Alexander.

Home is where the heart lies

 

 I feel like a weary wanderer who has come home after almost too long, but just long enough.

After living abroad for three years it’s just good to be home.

In October when I board a plane that will once again take me to a new destination, to a new continent, and a new adventure I will gaze up at the skies. I will know that as long as I breathe the air of this Earth, my heart will love each land I travel but  it will always know that the journey to the place of my birth is the sweetest part of every new beginning.

It’s funny that my journey took me across the ocean and around the world in order to make me realize that home is forever where the heart will lie.

Freedom

Well. I don’t want to sounds like I’m excited or anything but…………………………………..

OMG IM FREE UNTIL JANUARY!!!! ASSESSMENT IS OVERRR!!!! I HAVE A LIFE AGAIN!!!!

*coughs* Sorry for that.  To celebrate this glorious event I slept all day!!! It’s a great feeling to know that the first half of my first year in University is OVER! Now just three and a half more years to suffer

Now I just don’t know what to do with myself!  It’s like now that I finally have all these me time but I’m at a loss as to what I should do with it?  I’ve gone and demolished my bank account but I think after all those sleepless nights watching the sun set and rise and dragging myself off to classes when I just wanted to sleep gives me the right to buy me pretty things  I’ve closed the door to my studio and I’m giving myself a break from art, technical flats, sewing and design!  I love it but after eating,breathing and living off of it for five months it’s time I took a break.

So I’m off to party tonight and I’m going to live it up and love it down.

Inspire Me

I promise I’m not dead. I’ve just had no life since uni started. My assessment is friday and then I’m free until January. I need this break. I need to get back to me. So much has happened since I last updated this blog….  I cut my hair, I can sew and I’m learning to appreciate the time I have with those I love.  And I’m seeing someone who makes me so ridiculously happy.

The times ahead of me are going to be really rough but I can’t stay  a little girl forever, sometimes things happen for a reason.  But for right now I’m smiling and I’ll cherish what i have and I will make memories to keep me company for the lonely nights ahead. I’m going to share a few of the images I have found that brighten my day and I’m hoping they will put a smile on your face also.

So smile. Tomorrow is a new day with a new beginning and a new chance to write an ending.

In~tents Assignment

So I have been slaving away on google images looking for examples of a various dress silhouettes for an assignment and to my twisted sense of humour I found something that I’m really considering handing in as an example of a classic Tent shaped garment.

Fashion Fail

One word.

FAIL.

Giuseppe Zanotti…. I honestly don’t even know what to say. 

Gianni Barbatos…….

Marc Jacobs…seriously come on. Those are just plain awful.

FENDI! How could you?  I honestly trusted you and look at this!?! It’s looks like the love child of  the Big Bad Wolf and Woolly Mammoth.

I know the economy is bad but geeeeeez there isn’t really an excuse for these.

In a State of Emergency?

I love fashion. I eat, breathe, sleep, live it.  But lately after watching some of the these new trends come out and watching models trip up and down the runway I’ve found myself asking; Is Fashion in a State of Emergency? 

 

Vogue Italia September 2006
Hilary Rhoda & Iselin Steiro
Ph: Steven Meisel

The first trend that has me in the corner telling myself it will all be over soon has to be the shoulder pad comeback. Honestly that is one trend that should never be resurrected, it should have been murdered and disposed of properly.

In my opinion the only people who are excused from this Crime Against Humanity are the sport people who run back and forth, tackle each other and catch a brown prolate spheroid for a living. I think there is something in the Geneva Convention about Shoulder Pads.  I can’t  for the life of me figure out just what is appealing about a rectangular torso? 

 

This next trend  left me with shivers rolling down my spine in endless waves of terror. Feathers belong to birds and  only on birds.

 

Watch out for more Crimes of Fashion coming soon!

Raison D’etre

Sorry I’ve been gone for so long.   University has a way of swallowing all your free time and when I do have time I sleep or at least I try to not think about what I have to do.  

I walked down the drive way tonight and I felt so sad because one little  star was out struggling to pierce thought the haze of the sky and I thought goodness he must be so lonely up there all alone . Then I realized not really, because behind all the smog and pollution in the sky there are millions of stars there.  I just cant see them but I know they are there.

It’s a good feeling to know in your heart that in a world full of inconsistencies somethings will stay the same no matter where you are on this planet.
