Sometimes I feel that many of the photos on Lookbook get hyped not because the outfit is particularly inspiring or awesome, but because the model is really pretty or the photo is artistic. Nevertheless, Lookbook is still an amazing site for fashion inspiration or just to ogle at beautiful clothes and accesories and fantastic pictures!

Firstly, thankyousomuch Jowee a.k.a the most awesome guest blogger ever!
You put us all to shame.
Anyways, here's one of my outfits that I wore ages ago.
This dress just inspires me to team it up with red. I wasn't feeling bold enough to wear it with my red tights so I wore it with a red scarf instead.
Meet Isabel Brodie, she turned 21 two days ago!
I did most of the girls make up for our night out. I'm just self praising myself because this is my first attempt on applying make up on someone else. The birthday girl got special attention and I'm personally very proud of my masterpiece. Self praise. Didn't have much time to everything nicely as we were already running late. Youtube helped loads, will share with everyone the video I used.
That's all for today.
Tata!
I hart Nerds.
Its telling the world a story, its portraying an emotion . . .
Fashion is art, with a no greater canvas than yourself. Its not so much the clothes or the expensive price tags. Its found in something as simple as henna tattoos
Fashion is putting streaks in your hair, and home-made bracelets with your favorite emblem.
Sure we all want the fancy stuff, but the simplest things can be the most delicious. Like a cheeseburger or char koay teow in contrast with the Kobe and Wagyu's of the world.
Maybe that's why I love it so much.
I find inspiration in so many things in the world, but today, stepping away from my first post of the grunge, bedlam, Harlem arena. We talk nerdom.
It was Nerd day in Uni today.
I find the day called for the standard get-up - the pleated skirt, glasses, tie and white button-down shirt. But I threw on a vest from Dorothy Perkins, those self-drawn white shoes, and my favourite leather brown bag, and called it a day.
Thank our photographer Ea, for capturing the above pictures of me.
hee hee hee sorry Ea!
Get this, they were all candids. Imagine that! Me looking decent, without having to pose for a single one of them! What happened was simply Ea talking to me, me scratching my head wondering just how to pose without coming off retarded, and her asking me to smile.
That's how good she is.
But of course she also managed to take this.
Sigh model fail.
p.s. The tie is really dark green up close. I find mismatching your tones also one to look out for.
p.p.s yes, the get-up isn't that creative, the point really was making themes like 'nerd day' your own. Putting it into your context. In my case, the Jowee interpretation of nerdiness that works for me. Find your favourite styles and make it your own.

I'm Taking You With Me.
Anyway, I'm here to share with you guys my latest obsessions - shoes! I recently bought the red Nike high tops in the picture above for $AUD70. It was pretty cheap since it was on sale and I absolutely loved the colour and the bronze sparkly sides. Harbour Town shopping really rocks! It is actually half a size to small so it's a tad tight at times but still comfy. I've been wearing it a lot lately.
That's what I typically wear to uni nowadays. A jumper/hoodie/jacket with shorts. Occasionally I'll throw in some tights or wear jeans. Weather has been getting colder coz it's autumn now! On normal days, it's like being under contant air-conditioning but when the wind blows, it feel like it cuts through exposed skin. *shudders* At least Queensland is still the Sunshine State so we still have good amounts of Vitamin D to warm us up in spite of the chilly wind. :)
Shorts: Esprit
High tops: Nike
Bag: LeSportSac
What I wore for dinner that day at a Turkish restaurant. And these boots are my second obsession at the moment. I've been wearing them everywhere coz they're really comfy! Got them on sale as well from Pay Less Shoes for around $AUD50? It was a present from my dad. He actually noticed my cheapo boots from Rubi Shoes wearing fraying and bought me new ones!
Boots: Pay Less Shoes
Stockings: Times Square
White feather earrings: Diva
Watch: D&G
Studded bag: Cats Whiskers
Ah, the perks of living in a country with four seasons! ;)
The Nirvana Effect
Grunge (sometimes referred to as the Seattle sound) is a subgenre of alternative rock that emerged during the mid-1980s in the American state of Washington, particularly in the Seattle area. Inspired by hardcore punk, heavy metal and indie rock, grunge is generally characterized by heavily distorted electric guitars, contrasting song dynamics, and apathetic or angst-filled lyrics. The grunge aesthetic is stripped-down compared to other forms of rock music, and many grunge musicians were noted for their unkempt appearances and rejection of theatrics.
The early grunge movement coalesced around Seattle independent record label Sub Pop in the late 1980s. Grunge became commercially successful in the first half of the 1990s, due mainly to the release of Nirvana's Nevermind and Pearl Jam's Ten. The success of these bands boosted the popularity of alternative rock and made grunge the most popular form of hard rock music at the time.[1] However, many grunge bands were uncomfortable with this popularity. Although most grunge bands had disbanded or faded from view by the late 1990s, their influence continues to impact modern rock music.
