Ich Hasse EINE... camera?


So my German skills are scattered, and for that I apologise.
but I can now promise more posts as I have a new camera. GET IN THERE. It's a fuji finepix numberletterletterletternumber. Blogspot makes all of my photos really grainy, but when I upload them to photoshop they're too big. ._. This I will work on.
Sorry for the slightly offensive picture, I took it for my artwork which will be finished by the end of the night, I might even be slightly wacky and take a photo of it with the new beast.
Sorry for the complete devoid-ness of outfit posts, my old camera was just too shitty to capture things well, but my new darling can take them easy. So there'll be more of that!

So I'm going into sixth form next week; looking forward to the possibility of making some new friends and never having to wear the obligatory polyester nasties ever again. Up until then I'm trying to do as much art-doing and clothes-making as I can possibly... do. :D

Friday 14 August 2009

The day that hasn't started yet, and will continue later.

So I feel like I've slapped my intentions of starting a wonderfully active blog right in the face, but I will continue to try.
I have a lot of things to show today, but no battery on my camera, so there will be a bigger, meatier post this evening where we shall feast on the slightly feeble fruits of my productivity. (Including a liberty print cage skirt, a cake badge and a fruitella wrapper bracelet)
I forgot to mention in my last post that I am also heavilly into art, and I'm planning on posting art every week on a friday(perhaps I'll call it... ART FRIDAY! I am unexperienced with words... I shall enlist help), and bringing some shallow into the equation by doing outfits inspired by said arts. But I think I may skip the outfit today.

This is a clay animation by David Firth, who many people will be aware of already as the creator of www.fat-pie.com, and more virally the wonderfully melancholy 'Salad Fingers'. Those more in tune with the real world than the more morose sectors of the internet will perhaps have seen his work on Charlie Brooker's Screenwipe where he was asked to create some cartoons loosely related to television.
This clay animation is very beautiful in my opinion, though judging my disturbing taste in everything most people may find it plain disgusting. But I think it's beautiful.
So, just a quick disclaimer here, if you are easilly disturbed or unsettled I'd probably give it a miss.
But here it is!

But surely we dress like this now!

Warm lightning


An old makeup look I did in a hurry...
Not so sure whether I like it or not.

I can't particularly remember what I used, but I know I used Spell pencil by illamasqua, and the red from the danger zone eyeshadow by mac.

The day that disappointment ensued, then was swept away by toasted meat and good company.




I am finally pushing this blog in a more sensible direction. Or at least bothering with it. I swear.

FIRST DAILY OUTFIT POST!
I feel as if we are making progress!

Shoes; Doc Martens, Tights; New Look, Skirt; Vintage, Belt; Praaaamark, T-shirt; H&M, Scarf; In Vienna.

Today was a lazy dressed day, not too much fuss. This tends to be my go-to outfit.



I am considering this as the starting point for my whole blog, as I tended to be a bit slap-dash with my posting before-hand.

To me, style is the medium in which I express my inner chaos, the icing on the rather lumpy and unpalatable cake which is me. I am constantly striving to develop my style through different inspirations and experiments, some bad, some good, but all happy.

I have decided to channel my personal style through this blog, whether it be clothing, makeup or DIY projects.

And I'm only just getting started.
