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

A Recap of my Life of Late

My apology followers, I did say I would post a few while I was away and I did nawwt... but I'm sure you weren't too disappointed in me. I had a lovely time, some parts were a little emotional (as expected), but most of it was a lot of fun. I met some more family and that was really cool. I also did a photo shoot for my Year 12 Art Photography folio while I was there. My theme is called Fluorescent Adolescent, named after the Arctic Monkeys song. My idea was to capture some underwater shots of a girl with long flowing hair wearing a pretty dress that would also flow beautifully etc. Initially, I was planning to do it here in Melbourne using a friend from school but it worked out so perfectly there that I just had to. My gorgeous cousin Daniella who I met there had an underwater digital camera, awesome!.. also the house I was staying at had a great pool, sick! + Daniella is so so pretty and her hair is unbelievably long and lovely (down to her butt), perfect for the look that I was imagining to achieve! But wait, it doesn't stop there... there was also a fantastic (I rarely say that word) op shop just up the road where we could buy all the clothes! (as I was unprepared and had nothing for her to wear) our aim was fluro and flowy. Anyway, everything worked out so well, as if it was planned by God!.. I actually think it was, just too perfect to be a coincidence. 

The photos came out fairly brilliant, better than I expected. So a massive thank you to Daniella... and God! haha. These are just a few of them, I took over 300 so I've had to narrow it down to 60 for zee folio, even that's too many but pff who can choose!? really.










  

Yeah. 
So I can't wait to show my photography teacher, I hope he's positively surprised. Anyway so enough about that. Hopefully soon I won't just be posting apologies for not posting, but finally dishing out my knowledge, opinions and so on about fashion week looks and all that. 
Please contact me with any questions or even just feedback or ideas, cos I love getting them! They're are often challenging and it's just nice to receive feedback. Hope all 7 of you followers have a great week! 
xx, Karista
