Egon Schiele

(Vogue Italia, 1996. Photographed by Paolo Roversi)

Egon Schiele has always been an amazing source of inspiration for me. His paintings represent a very personal and revolutionary vision of the world, especially for the time they were created. Yest I still find his work incredibly modern. I particularly love the atmosphere he created in his portraits: glorious and distorted, a sublime and twisted celebration of sensuality.

A spirit of sober luxury guides this season's new collection, in which Vienna of the 1900s meets with Klimt and Schiele in a universe of extreme refinement.

When one delves into the lifes and work of Schiele, it is impossible not to find inspiration. His unique and exquisite artistry allows him to depict both overt sexuality and the un-selfconscious innocence of childhood.

Word of advice.

Do not tamper with HTML if you cannot sleep.

I froze, shocked and angered. Of all things I could possibly comprehend, a silent four letter word resounded after which I replaced it with... HELP!

Unfortunately, its 4 am and no one as foolish as me would stay up this late.


What do you guys think?

*sniffs* I guess change is good? If not is anyone good at this?

On a side note.

Deservable mention to Willow and Daria at Pigtails & Blushing Cheeks without their support this blog would definitely be on the flip side. Thank you so so much!

and all the readers who visit, who comment, who read. Thank you. I will try me hearty best to update regularly!

Have a great weekend ya'll

I need structure

Jumping between jobs and let downs these past few weeks, it is safe to say "I'm on the right track". Currently working in the fashion industry and boy oh boy is it interesting!
Interesting as I described it as is somewhat a polite understatement. Don't get me wrong, I enjoy every second of it. The buzz of potential buyers, fabrics and accessories that will be used in the coming year. It's all part of this exciting process.

I absolutely love being inspired, extending my creativity and having fun. Unfortunately, it is not all fun and frolic. You need to fit a distinctive criteria which can be stereotyped, cynical and unoriginal in the sense - you should look like those around you.

Where is the individuality? The open arms waiting for some crazy interpretation. I just wished women took a stand and stopped subscribing to wasting themselves in this cut throat melodrama.

Natural Selection

I recently gained placement at a local Primary school for the duration of my break, where I teach and carry on the whole shindig. It's crazy! My students are the smartest bunch ever. You will be so surprised what a 9 year old's take is on global politics, the recession and sexism in Australia.

Oh! I am jittery and nervous. Is this really what I want to do? How long will the cute puppy dog eyes last for?

Darwin and my lamp reinforce Natural Selection.

P.s

My Brother bought the sequins jacket for me. I think it was Darlinghurst or Oxford st? Not quite sure but it was a HUGE bargain.. say $60. It wasn't skimpy on the sequins either unlike the recent collections I have seen in stores lately. I love the Chinese collar. I will show better pictures soon. I have to get my lesson planning done.

Deservable mention to Willow and Daria and That TEEN for giving me awards! THANK YOU SO SO MUCH!

I am done with school for this semester! No more exams, no more books... I can't contain myself.
It gives me time to catch up with sleep and I can reply to all your comments. So sorry!

I'll keep it short and I promise I will look after the blog! Thank you so much for sticking around

Sequined Blazer, thrifted; ring, forever new; cotton on tee

I found this beautiful sequined blazer and I am so glad I bought it. Money well spent me thinks.
Sequins is no longer trashy or to be left for that planned trip to Las Vegas. Wear it well. Wear it with confidence.

Here is a lil dose.

Exams, the flu and a chilly winter is what I have been experiencing the past three weeks. Inspiration down the drain.
