Encore Encore

Okay kids, here’s some pics from the encore fashion show lastnight! All up it was pretty awsome i thougth, the venue, drinks, food etc all worked well and was goood!!
Ive always been a bit wary of central tafe cos i dont think their workmanship on their garments is that good but i spose thats upto the individual and all these graduates would kick arse at a designing job thats for sure! check em out…

Not sure whos collection this was but i loved the black and white and fan detailing.

This was cool also.

Cute dress and jacket

Kiel Rogers, his whole collection was amazing!




Alira Callaghan’s collection, this girl won the Perth Fashion Festival student category for a capsule collection in September.




next was Jaime Lee, Hers was also amazing and she did all the hair and make-up for her models herself too!

One of Jaime Lee’s models afterwards, amazing make-up

Was a very good night! Afterwards we couldn’t get into DeVilles cos my bfs id was expired, lame. Instead we went to moon and got trashy on champs and ate pizza’s yummmm much better idea.


West Australian Institute of F*ing awsome threads


Last night was the WAIFT fashion show at burswood! and far out it was so freakin good! I was sooo impressed!! There is so many collections i want to borrow for We Like Threads photoshoots!

So im waiting for photos to put them up and show you which ones i liked! I’m so excited for all these new designers if thats the talent coming out of Tafe then thats amazing!!!!


Old bag

WHAT does your handbag say about you? From the latest book by Australian author Kathryn Eisman.

“One-strap messenger bag: She’s the quiet rebel who will change the world but she risks exhausting herself by lugging unnecessary angst.

Studded bag: She’s unafraid of staring the ugly truth in the eye but is so prepared for the worst she wills it upon herself.

Fake designer bag: While she’s faking who she is, at least she’s got good taste when it comes to choosing whom to imitate. But she’s only kidding herself.

Fringed bag: Attracted to artists.

Magazine freebie bag: A genuine girl in a pool of poseurs.

Quilted Chanel bag: She’s always perfectly appropriate but sometimes she’s also a perfect bore. If people saw the real her, they’d actually really like her.

Logo luggage: She knows how to work it but there can be too much networking and not enough working. Sometimes you schmooze and you still lose.

Over-stuffed bag: She shows a selfless strength but martyrdom is so passe.

Gym bag: She knows what she wants and goes after it but occasionally she has to deviate from her routine.”

HAhaha i have a fringed bag and my bf is an artist

Shhhh!! well it’s definitly not a secret

The Victoria’s Secret fashion show happened the other day. One of the most extravagent and expensive fashion shows has 35 of the most beautiful girls in the world in it, would be pretty fuking awesome to check out in person ey? Usher, the singer (bit gey) performed and guests included the Kardasian sisters, Michelle Trachtenberg and Martha Stewart!!! ahahaha
“The theme of the show is a return to glamour,” said company CEO Sharen Turney. “Victoria’s Secret is about sexy, and the new sexy is glamorous for this season.” Right on sister! There was a $7.5 million Black Diamond Fantasy Miracle Bra worn by Adriana Lima and designed by jeweller Martin Katz..wtf mental got to get me a rich man for that!
I went a bit crazy on the pics, mer. ENJOY!

Whats up with blondies bruise and funny dimple on her ass?

New Years Eve baby

So it turns out im going to Sydney for New Years. Whats the haps for new years eve? Sydney people let me know!!!


watch me! i’m turning into an alien

I’m totally loving Mimco’s new watches! I’ve never really worn one before, except for my yellow Baby G when I was younger, that turn a strange shade after a few years. Now i’m inspired to get one. Just in time for christmas hey?


New bathers biatch

I just bought these bathers!! you cant really see them properly in the pic but they’re like tie dye and they have a little peace sign on the back! yay i really wish i was born in 1950 so i was 18 in 1968 please someone take me backkkkkkkkk

cock and balls

haha my povo pic of caleb at Southbound

Kings of Leon will be headlining the return of the Rock-It festival on March 8th. Not sure how I feel about this but I will probably go. I’m not keen at all on their new cd (there I said it!) but they have a sick live show. Tickets go on sale Nov 27th and the rest of the line up is yet to be announced.
Now to explain myself, I wrote the first bit late at night. I think their new cd is boring compared to their last few. I really dig their old short sharp sound and sweet riffs. Their new cd has a few really great songs (the first is my personal fav) but they’re so fucking SLOW. I think if they play a set with all their new songs it will be boring, how can i rock out to that shit compared to their old stuff?? Bring back the trani.

Tribute to phat rockers

Mitch Mitchell the drummer from the Jimi Hendrix experience died in his hotel room in the US yesterday.
Ohhh they are some phat boots boy!!!

Peaches Geldof’s capsule collection has just arrived at Selfridges stores around ol London town.
“I have always been in love with everything PPQ designed. It got to the point that I knew the PPQ aesthetic so well that it was a natural progression to begin working together,” said Peaches.
Mer, whatever bitch I know i definitly wouldn’t wear most of it and with prices starting at 195 pounds fuck that!! No seriously I think the outfits are cute for her style. I really like the name Peaches.
