About Me

My Photo
I am a lover of all things creative. A singer, song writer & producer. I have studied art most of my academic life and have a degree in animation. I also enjoy painting, makeup artistry, photography, dress making & designing, digital art working, drawing (on paper & on photoshop). I absolutely love fashion- haute couture/ editorial stuff. I view it as a form of artistic expression; it influences my style of drawing, makeup, and my dress sense. Despite my love of fashion, I am not a big follower of trends. I tend not to care what is in or out of season because my honest opinion is what goes around comes back around... If you share in my interests, hopefully you'll enjoy my blog posts!

It's been shamefully long sing my last fashion related post and I apologise!
I've mentioned this dress and the story behind it in my previous post Vintage Twin...

I have many more outfit posts coming up, but I warn you- I am in love with this yellow wall right now, so it will be my new back drop for a while! :)

Feminine Flair

'Feminine Flair' Make Up Tutorial



This Look was initially intended to be very natural, with neutral eyes & nude lips but when I was done, I just thought it all looked so boring. 
So I thought I'd add a little drama with a more striking lip colour. I'd recently acquired MAC's  'Rebel' lipstick in the Back to Mac recycling program & saw it as a good excuses to try it out.

Let me know what you think :D

Vintage Twin


The thing I love about buying vintage clothes is that feeling of buying a one off piece that you can be sure you won't see on anyone else. However, that's not always the case...

You guys have seen pics of me in this blue & green dress from a previous post. Lumber Jack Chick It's one of my favourite Beyond Retro finds.  
Well, I went to Beyond Retro last week & while searching the rail I noticed this!



A purple & pink version of the same dress! Well obviously it was definitely meant to be! 

I bought this along with two other dresses. I'll be posting pics of me wearing them soon :D

This is one of my favourite go to out fits. I customised this dress years ago adding the shoulder & sleeve detail.

My Lita spikes compliment this look completely. Still loving these boots!
