Hi there, back again. I know, it's been quite some time since my previous post which was the longest one in history I'm sure, but I felt I really had to just get some things out of the way before I begin. So in two days I shall commence year 11. Eek! Not so nervous at the moment but I'm sure I'll poo my pants when I'm walking towards my school. I feel that this year has some good things in store for me, well I believe that God has great plans for me this year. I'm studying year 12 Art Photography, Studio Arts Video, VET Fashion, D&T Fashion, Visual Communication and English Language. This is the best year of my life, NO MATHS! What a relief, Pheww!
Just want to let you know, although I am only 16 and a half; I am very aware and passionate about the fashion industry. It's really strange; I constantly find myself discovering looks, pieces etc and obsessing over them for ages without any clue of the upcoming trends. And next thing I know is everybody is wearing it and it becomes huge. It's happened with leggings, wearing them as pants w/ no skirt etc (in 2008 I think). Along with wearing rosary beads as casual necklaces and so on. I think I may have some talent and I love that about myself, that I am very stylish and have that trend-setting ability... but my problem with it is that I feel that I don't get as much recognition about these things as I would like. Ha! Listen to me, i sound like a little Princess/Diva. But it wouldn't bother me to have a splash of myself strutting my latest looks and crazes all over the pages of Yen, Nylon or Dazed & Confused every now and then, w/ my picture right next to Tavi Gevinson and her outrageous mega mix of patterns/colours, maybe even Taylor Momsen or Sasha Pivovarova. Gah! That would be incredible! So this post may out do the last one in length sorry :/
There's a scripture from the Bible that I have always loved, its from 1 Timothy 4:12, "Don't let anyone look down on you because you are young, but set an example for the believers in speech, in life, in love, in faith and in purity." I will not allow anyone to tell me I am too young or look stupid because I am dreaming of such great things. Nothing is impossible with God in your life and all these material things that won't matter when we die, it is all just smoke and chasing into the wind, basically. Money won't satisfy, all the most gorgeous, expensive clothes in the world won't fill up that God-shaped hole in your heart. (Wow, I'm fully preaching now. Don't know if I should tone it down a little). Anyway, I think God wants us to enjoy these things and find what we are passionate about but at the same time acknowledge him for what he has given us, Life!
OK, I should give it a rest now. Just wanted to speak my mind, and speak it I did! I'm going to start uploading photos my latest obsessions soon and even some photos of myself in a couple of my favourite outfits/ looks, crazes and stuff so you can see for yourself that I actually do have a sense of style and that I'm not all talk. Great, have a lovely LOVELY day!
