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

Prehistoric, Caveman, The Flinstones



About a month ago, my hair was fairly oily so I decided to throw it up into a messy loop bun on top of my head. I like to call them pooffs. To pretty it up a little bit I popped a small animal print bow clip at the base of the bun. Upon gazing at the unintentional cuteness of the do, I realised that it carried a kind of Flinstone/Caveman essence to it. So the idea was sparked, I got googling and gathered pictures of cavemen people and the Flinstones characters etc. Drew a few sketches and got really thinking that oh man, I have totally discovered a look that I've never seen or heard of before, this is going to be wickid cool when I post all about it on my bloggery and everyone will see that I am destined to be a fashion forecaster. Very funny reallyBut then of course (upon my googling) I had to discover a designer that had only just done a show all up in the Flinstone style. I was and am still fairly bummed about that. His name is Jeremy Scott and he is a friggin' genius, definitely is a new favourite designer of mine. 
He's super cool man...


See? Isn't this just exquisite? and I never use that word lightly, or... ever.
But I say it for this because although the designs are so basic, they are just so Einstein.
If I knew they existed I would be all over deym bone hair clips/pieces, seriously want to get into that before I get over this look and before the style gets well-known. I made some out of cardboard the other night while my friend was over. She was boring me so I told her, screw you... I cuttin' some cardboard. Haha, she just thought I was weird, but if I can't buy them anywhere then ima make them myself. Hells yeah I would wear these clothes, imagine me turning up to the beach in that purple one piece (above), I'd work it. And just watch the heads turn. Haha, I do not apologise for this strange mood I'm in, although I feel compelled to. 

xX hot hot hot hot hot Xx
I also like that the bones look like prehistoric bones rather than just 'doggy toy' bones.
Wickid hair, I try to adapt that do in my own personal way. Like with my top-of-the-head pooff. I super duper want a crimper now, returning to my 12 year old birthday wishlist days. OMG, I just had an epic thought. Thin and Bones right? Arghh! You watch, there's gonna be a top of the page heading alteration soon ;) WOO!!
The nails are insane, same with the eyes but if I started doing that everyday then I'd have to be prepared to write a lot of late notes for school. I think this summer ima get some fairy floss blue streaks in my hair. I've wanted to do it for a while but I'll wait 'til my hair is ash blonde, I think.

=]

So, now... postFlinstone idea discovery moment. I will be watching tv, as always when I happen to flick to the Go channel 99... The Flinstones will be on and I will watch it, smiling... Who'd a thought Fred Flinstone would be a style inspiration, Utter brilliance.
Oh and here is the photograph that I took when I realised my hair was Flinstone-y :;;:;;
Sorry, it is very a bad angle and the quality is shocking... but it was all in the moment ha!
Please comment if you dig this post and sorry it took forever to go up Xx
