Apex Australian Teenage Fashion Awards 2008

Well, last year my prize for the dressmaking competition was a photo shoot. This is it... I have a big print of the first pictures and I have about 30 other photos on a disk.
The photographer was great. I wore my own stuff and did everything like that, just turned up and walked around to find some good places. You can't see my whole outfit or the colour of it in any of these and I love it but these are some of my favourite shots. I look really young in these even though I'm still the same age I was then.
Since then I've cut my hair and grown heaps so I love how I can remember how I was forever, anyway.
Hope everybody had a good day - almost the end of the week, PHEW.

This is the dress I made last year. You can't see it but I had beading all over the paisley pattern too.
I don't really like these photos but I cbf taking anymore.
I made this for a national competition in the evening section. I came second in the state competition and then went to Sydney. It was so fun. This is what I am going in again this year. I'm working on my outfits now.
I've basically finished the overcoat and am making a simple skirt w/ netting underneath for fullness and a top like in the Chris Benz Resort 2010 collection. That's for the 'Daywear' section and I am making a huge dress for the evening, which I am still working out.
Anyways, today was still uneventful. I enjoyed looking through all the illustrations from http://www.garancedore.fr/en/. They are AMAZING, no joke.

A Young Me. (In the middle) Around 2006-07 (I'm about 13 or 12.) - Going to the tennis.
Sorry for lack of recent posts. I've been terribly busy. Yesterday I went to a school LAN which is basically a nerd party. We hooked up computers and I played a cool strategy game against some friends; I now have the game and am hooked. Because of the game I haven't done my homework, prepared mentally for the athletics carnival tomorrow (LOL) and sewn anything. Bummer. But I do love the game.
Anyway, today's Mother's Day obviously. Hope you, if you're a mum, or your mum had a good day. I bought my mum the latest Aust Vogue and a card, yay. It's been in and out of my house all day and whenever I got home I always played Age of Mythology (HAHA).
Just now I got back after going out to tea for my Mum. This is what I wore. I changed a lot today and this isn't my favourite but this is the latest. I love the stockings, I bought them the other day. The dress is also amazing but it is a little short, haha. The overcoat I made ages ago with my Mum and it is wool cashmere - sooo soft.
Sorry for the bad quality, I really need to get a new camera.
BTW, I also love the shoes. I got them in Sydney and they are gorgeous.

Hello. Welcome all beings and fluffy things. I hope you find my relatively boring life and endless rituals somewhat interesting. Enjoy yourself.
