you do not have to be skinny to view this blog, the title is for coolness only

i am a seventeen year old girl living in melbourne. i go to a rare school that allows me to do three fashion subjects which is mad cool. i do my best to make the most of every moment and try to push myself outside of my comfort zone, gosh i hate that word. screw smoking and sleeping around, i don't want the clap or tuberculosis. i am happy with my health, my friends, my fam, cat and tidy light blue bedroom with roses and leather on the walls. i admire russell brand's charisma, justin bieber's voice, t-pain in general and my cat bok choy for being so flexible that he can lick his own privates. oh and my name's karista

Not even going to being up the issue of *cough cough*...

...my absence.

It's not that it's a long story, it is that I just don't know why.
Life has been hectic, a lot has happened and I feel I may have lost some passion for life and become a bit of a different person over the past year. Not sure if it's for the better or for the not so good. I know this blog wasn't created for me to blab about my emotions and update the world about my dull life... but that's all that is coming out of me right now, I can't help it. I hate that 'fashion' rhymes with 'passion' because it makes me feel extremely cliche when I talk about my... passion for ... fashion (see?) or lack there of.

I think if you don't have a goal then you're wasting your time doing anything. So right now, I feel as if I'm wondering around in the woods aimlessly. It's now the summer holidays and my only goal I suppose is to succeed in year 12. Some reason that doesn't feel like a big enough goal. I hear people talking of their dreams to go to certain universities, accomplish things like travel overseas and become a nurse or actress. Then I sit right beside them feeling like a six-year-old because all I really want is  to be famous!... while clutching a hot pink Louis Vuitton vernis bag which holds a teacup yorkie (named Bill, as in Dolla Billz), killer looks, an apartment in miami and a gangster boyfriend that knows how to treat a girl right. My eyes are set high, but I should probably get them outta the clouds every now and then.

Yesterday, my family and I celebrated Thanksgiving. My mum made us all write out 101 things that we are grateful to God for. My first reaction was "Arrrgggh!" but when I got writing, it was actually fairly easy. It made me realise how much I really am blessed to have the life I do. There are so many small things that make me happy that I actually thanked God for because I figured it couldn't just be a coincidence that everything really does work out so well in the end. I think I need to trust that I'm going to be okay, maybe God is actually real and cares about us all and has a plan for my life... If he doesn't exist, well I don't know what the point of life is at all.


Oh yeah, uh I don't really have any predictions for summer fashion. Just a couple things I really wouldn't mind adding to my summer wardrobe are:

A pair of clear-frame Ray Ban shape sunglasses - I've discovered that the-smaller-the-better, on me.
Mass hoop earrings (already gettem but just letting ya know) - gotta tune into your inner guidette.
ALWAYS a nice pair of fitted denim shorts, definitely sexy with any bikini top. Frayed is good.
A neutral toned half caj, half dressy pair of sandals.. mine are currently on layby :)
Some thongs for the beach, sandals with buckles are always a bitch when putting on and off n on n off
A couple of cropped tees n tops, showing a lil tummy is not slutty if you do it the right way.
What I really want right now is actually a huge louis v. tote bag like I mentioned earlier - YUM!

AAAnyway, I gots ta go sleep.
Night bromosexuals. I'll be a'ight.

Death is INEVITABLE

but is hell? according to my mother i'm on the fast road to it. lying, drinking, smoking, macking, partying, wearing lingerie with sassy lace, throwing up the next morning, then when the hangover is passed i wanna do it all over again. what a disappointment. i think i can get a lot of inspiration from the typical teen experiences that i've been through lately. i'm just infatuated by the thought of putting everyday experiences into good use, applying our adventures and discoveries of feelings and emotions into art. whether it be music, painting or in my case fashion and drawing. a good thing about this is that you are able to express yourself through your own personal language that possibly only you understand... that way no one knows what you are speaking through this piece of art/creation. the reason this has just come up is because i just found out that my mother just read my extremely personal journal - and i'm really upset and angry with her. then i had an urge to draw in order to express my indescribable emotions and such. also, i probably can't write out my feelings etc right now cos most likely she'll read it. shiiitt, im just so pissed off that she would do that - so cut. i probably wouldn't be as frustrated at this predicament if i hadn't just journal-ed about my recent opportunity to try hash, yeah it was a little risky writing it in there but i figured i knew my mum would do such a terrible thing as to read my personal and exceedingly honest diary. faaaaarrk. SHE DID
me at my best

I'm in MIAMI Bitch!

I do apologise if you were at all offended my the post title but I honestly struggled to stop myself writing that... especially after that song has been in my head since that oh! so! eventful weekend I've recently encountered. Wondersom memories were certainly created, let's just leave it there.
Moving on... Miami Deco - This morning I woke up and got google-imaging and discovered that these stunning buildings and everything about Miami... is totally Me! I never even realized but my bedroom is completely made up of those soft pastel pale pinks, blues and greens; all I need are curvy walls and neon signs.  I always thought I belonged in Santa Monica CA or at least Soho NY, and that is still where my heart longs to be. But after spending 45 minutes just being wowed by these Miami pictures, I was inspired! 
Inspired to change the idea for one of the garments I'm making at school right now, into a Miami Art Deco style shift dress; Inspired to make my room even more Miami than it is; Inspired to paint my nails High Roller bubblegum blue (one hand's done). I just adore discovering new loves like this one. Have a look at some of the images that made me smile. The colours look almost lickable, like candy floss and buttered popcorn flavoured jelly bellies!
Hope you liked this post. I just blog to express myself, that's it. 
Next up for t&b... 'Scuba' - my other lover for this soon to come summer. OH Snap!! I busted a mother rhyme. K ahve a ogod dya**

Going Ape For Abbey

Just gotta love her unique look, she can work anything... a plastic bag would look spectacular on her. Abbey Lee Kershaw is stunning in whatever, she is so versatile. You go girl! - for reppin' not only Australia, but Melbourne. & I think her teeth are cute on her.

















Envy her yet? She's fricken magnificent, and totally in a non-lesbian way. Love her style, her eyes, skin, hair, lips, body, attitude. I rate her better than Miranda Kerr. Who doesn't wish they could be so breathtakingly pretty? 
i Do!
