Yeah i’m busted

Went and saw The Black Keys on mondy night and it was awesome! Last time I saw them was a few years ago at metros freo and I loved them. Freo arts centre is such a better venue, wasn’t packed at all and the vibe was so chilled, much better than a seedy club. I got taken out by some old dude’s ass lenght hair dreds when he was rockin out..rank. Here are some pics…


YAY

Merry fucking christams bitches!! Hope u all had an amazing day and ate dickloads of ham and pudding. I only got one present this year and it was from my BF… this is it!!!

My Big Bali Bonanza

So im back from Bali and it was fucking awesome. I didn’t get blowen up by terrorists or get bali belly or fall off my scooter!
I did get burnt, drunk HEAPS of cocktails, ate some ephodrin, fanged around on the scooter, smoked some balinese sugar darts, honked the sheesha pipe, went to water bomb park, bought a Bintang singlet and made an appearence at the Bounty hahha My trashy hoilday with my BF was the best.
The shopping was so good! I hadn’t been for almost 10years and was so surprised how much it has changed. I thought i wouldn’t find any good buys, but boy silly me!! Down Legian street towards Seminyak there are heaps of sick boutiques. They even have a Religion shop (religion is only stocked in Sydney at one shop but they always feature it in Russh) yeww. I don’t think i have ever seen so many shops with gladiator sandles, bought a few of those babies back. They also have a Topshop, which wasn’t that good but I did find some hot undies!
Well i just bought the whole series of Gossip girl and im hooked, back to it.
peace love poppy xx

Dont have music and wont give you any compensation off your money you’ve already been charged to your credit card for being complete fuckheads! All of their policies on their website are LIES!

Click on the label names for more info bitches.

STAY TUNED!

WAIFT show!

Finally have some pics from the Swan Tafe fashion show last wednesday! Sorry its taken me so long lovers! now everyone can see how good all the students are if they haven’t already! Heres some pics from my favourite collections, Enjoy!

Danielle Grossetti’s ‘ Sugar Hi’ This collection took out both awards for Best couture and best Ready to wear! She definately deserved it! And I had a look at her selling book afterwards, very affordable and so fun!




Natalie Schorer’s ‘Wandering Girl’ Such amazing beautiful couture work! She was a finalist in the WA design awards earlier this year with her red couture dress and she should have won. Very detailed beautifully tailored designs.



Bridget Cumberworth ‘Bidget Tighe’ These garments were so dreamy, and the ready to wear was just gorgeous! I have already ordered the purple dupion silk dress from the collection in Black and grey!



Emma Batten’s ‘Fivestoriesfalling’ was so effective on the catwalk! The couture colours blew me away and look amazing in the photos and her ready to wear was so wearable, very sale-able i think!

I love the dress below


Ebony Harding’s ‘Little Gracie’ Was so cute with knitting in it! nobody knits anymore! and was chosen by retailed Libertine to stock in store as one of the awards! Perth you will be seeing more of ‘Little Gracie’



Jessica Stanton’s ‘Dancing with myself’. As soon as this collection walked out to the sounds of ACDC’s ‘If you want blood’ i was hooked! So rock and roll mixed with ring master mixed with what every girl wishes she had the guts to wear everyday! I love the Couture, not so sure about the ready to wear. But none the less, very cool.






Sara Lyndon’s label ‘Dardy Sing’ I love the colours she has used and she also won an award for most consistent student. Beautiful fabrics.

Vicky Becks

SO im an idiot and cant work out how to post this youtube video on here!!! so Go here and watch this and tell me what you think….

Victoria Beckham Collection

Victoria Beckham’s debut dress collection hit the racks of Selfridges this week with this movie as a little ad campaign for the clothes, it serves as a reminder of her fashion credentials and apparently cheeky sense of humour.

The video shows models taking inspiration from Posh’s own ads for Marc Jacobs last season by hiding themselves all over a large mansion as lamp shades, chest of drawers etc.

Victoria makes a brief appearance only to disappear again very quickly. The videos very cute. I love video style things like this to advertise clothing collections like the one Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen did for The Row.

Also be sure to check out her new website for the collection, its pretty cool, however I’m not a huge fan of the clothes as I’ve said before, i think they’re boring, I don’t think she has many fashion credentials, just money. All of the clothes look like stuff she already wears from other designers. So check it all out, make up your own mind and let me know what you think!
