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

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**
