I like this shot because walkway shots are particularly hard to make interesting. Usually, there is nothing going on in the background. Just a plain looking wall and some people's heads sticking out from the walkway's side. Sandy's shot is an exception. It captures the reflected colors of the brilliant dresses reflecting off the glossy floor. The event attendees also make a pattern that give the shot some depth.

Having two weeks off from school for autumn break is a wonderful thing. It means I can get more sleep, go on long bike rides, and update my blog with pictures.
Here are several such pictures I took while I was in Washington DC for orientation.
Here are some of my friends hanging out in our hotel room: Rio, Emily, Kate and Narikia
So this is Emily, aka the most amazing girl in the world. Why is she so amazing? Well, let me tell you. She managed to pack all the stuff she needed for one entire year into one, 44 pound suitcase. On the first try.
Me? It took me approximately four hours to pack and repack my suitcase until it was light enough. And my parents still had to send me a 15 pound box of clothes and shoes and other necessary objects to my host family's house.
How did Emily do it?
Kate and I.

My photo op with Joe Courtney when we visited our state representatives.
He was actually a really nice guy, he took a break from the meeting he was having to come and talk to us, and he seemed genuinely interested in what we had to say about the importance of supporting global youth exchange.
One of the memorials in DC: "Freedom is not free."
My silly friends.

I was drinking tea, when I start writing this but that was many hours ago and so, I gave up and rewrote the whole thing. Thank goodness for the save function!
Stardust actually relates to my buzznet 'title' name, which, as every scene kids knows, you have to have some odd fake name to exist online or something. Jeffree Star, Kiki Kannibal, Matthew Lush, you get the idea. Anyway, I was probably trying to come up with mine today and so it ended up being me saying Stephie repeatedly and whatever came to mind after it, beginning with an S. I though Suicide was too cliché, so off I went again until I started saying something akin to Ziggy instead of Stephie. You can now sort of see the likn now of why I chose Stardust... unless you don't, of which it comes from "The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars". David Bowie, you make me laugh sometimes.
Talking about scene kids, it's always fun to dress like one and see what happens. Yesterday I wore a black dress with fancy brown boots, all formal and etc. Today I was scene, and I had many guyliner eyes try to lure me over or something rather odd like that.
Oh! This brings me to MSI guy, whose name I don't actually know, but the times I have seen him, he looks like he belongs in a Mindless Self Indulgence gig. His hair is geltastic crazy. First time I witnessed this being was when he waved to me when I was sat on the grass outside. Second was walking past him getting coffee. Today is the third time and he was going up the escalator with me... with some other guy. He was on my floor too for whatever he does, and it's weird. If I keep bumping into him again, I'm actually going to ask who he is haha.
Another crazy experience is that I think there's this guy on the bus who goes to college. He wore a blue and black striped hoodie today and I saw him outside when I was going down the stairs so... he may actually go to college (it's so big, I don't know who is who anymore).
So there's 'bus guy'. There's also 'green hoodie guy' who I keep seeing a lot. There's 'red skinnies girl' who gets coffee every morning and is in my queue. It's so weird. I'm going to see if I bump into more of these people. Today, I saw 'Iron Maiden guy' for the second time in the restaurant thing so... we shall see. There's also 'red hair emo fringe' guy, who makes out with 'slightly pudgy scene girl' on our floor, I think they do graphics or something. They're friends with Hannah from my group or something... it's all really complicated.
To continue the oddness, my dream last night! Was actually about Nathan, and us sitting on a red sofa with his friends, who I knew were his friends but don't actually look like any on his facebook/myspace so... it's rather odd. We were eating pizza, I don't know what the point of this dream is, but... I don't know why Nathan was in it, it's just very strange.
I made a necklace today too, because I got all inspired by this whole Lucite/Acylic laser cut jewellery malarky I discovered, so I made a black 'crystal' drop necklace in two layers/tiers. It's rather cute... elegant but also rather cute, so it'll go with a bunch of my clothes. I miss designing stuff. I was going to redecorate/design my ribbed tank top vests from Topshop but the material is stretchy is it's hard to work on. Might go buy another one someday from the Sale rack (or that 20% student discount thing off Topshop in Sheffield in October).
College, if you're wondering, was dead boring. Not much except lectures of mathematics in art (Golden Section, Fibonacci, etc). And a talk of dots, lines, textures, shapes, that kind of thing. I have to collect 'orange rubbish' (clean, obviously) for this project we're doing. It's some colour spectrum deal, I don't know. That's really it.
Tomorrow is my day off, so a lie-in is in order. Yes!
On a personal level, something is seriously bringing me down lately, and I have no idea what this could be. It's definitely not that friendship issue at college anymore or something, because everyone was really nice today. I even gave Emily a hug when we went to go have lunch (not that she had it with me, she went off with her clique). It's not the work either because I want to do a lot of it. As for family... well my mum is probably PMSing, hence this weird mood she's in, and my father is off to Hong Kong on Friday for three weeks. Hmmmm.
I will find out what is bugging me, I will.
As I figure this out, I won't be on any instant messaging programs much because... I think I need some time to evaluate? Something like that. My little bubble :)
I'm really cold and I feel that sleep is in order pour moi :D So night night!
ps: the shoes part of the title? I was meant to buy some flats but... I can't find any that aren't ridiculously over-priced. My search continues Friday!
Neem je een wanneer je uitgaat? Zo ja, waar moet je hem kwijt? In je portefeuille? In je jas? In je broekzak? Het Australische merk heeft er iets op gevonden: een secret condom pocket in je slip.
I have a confession to make.
Before I went to check out this amazing store, I wasn't much of a retro girl. I loved the look...on other people. I just could not see myself doing justice to it. But I do adore the girly dresses, so I thought I'd go and check her store out after a comment she made on another blog. And after I did, I wanted to blog everything in it!
Betty Doyle of Ingenue was most kind to supply me some review copies after I asked for them (eek, my first time asking someone, I was an utter wreck!) And I have been wearing them for two days straight now. Which is a record, let me tell you.
More after the cut.
Milaan fashion week zit er weer op... zeer moe maar voldaan komen we terug met toch wel enkele duidelijke trends voor volgende zomer... In Milaan kwamen we in zowat elke show accenten van de jaren 1970 tegen, al moeten we de modeweek van Parijs afwachten voor de echte trends. Verder kunnen we je nog vertellen dat Kaiser Karl serieus wat pondjes terug is aangekomen, dat de modellen op de catwalk griezelig mager waren en dus borstenloos en dus er niet vrouwelijk uitzagen, dat Anna Wintour de hele week rondliep in pakjes van Prada en Chanel (ze zag er ook ge-botox-t uit), dat onze Justine Henin front row zat bij Emporio Armani en dat André Leon Talley (de letterlijk en figuurlijke mode-reus van Vogue) op mijn teen is gaan staan.
In a previous post, I discussed the lack of black models on runways. Lo, and behold, there is a black girl in a Milan show...but it's not what you think:
Rihanna opened the show for DSquared and closed it too as she walked out with the Caten twins. I am ambivalent about this girl as we know; her looks are helping her get far because it is damn sure isn't her voice but apparently she is a model at a bigtime agency, I think it's IMG or something. Is this good for black women in fashion or she merely a Eurocentric token?
DSquared is a very good label though so I am impressed to at least see a girl of colour there. Even though, she doesn't fully classify as a model due to the fact she is a singer.
