The cute Julia Frakes is another one of my style icons. her style is cute, like Alice in Wonderland and Beatrix Potter inspired.




My ball in 2009 .

Leather jacket: About $10 from op shop - Salvation Army
Bag: My Mum's
Heels: About $20 from Number One Shoe Warehouse.

Amateur photographer, op shopper, and wannabe model

I like op-shopping. I love vintage clothes, wearing them, finding unique pieces that noone else has is fun and exciting, oh and cheap.
I love photography - taking photos is fun, especially when my photography teacher really likes my photos. I got an academic award in photography last year at school.
I would love to model and maybe act on television, but I am too short to be a model - I am 5'5 or 5'6, I think, not too sure.
I love fashion and I would love to buy all the fashionable and stylish clothes and shoes that I see in the shops (including designer boutiques, chain stores and op shops), but I just cannot afford to do that.
I love this planet and would like to travel around one day, visiting so many different countries, seeing their different ways of living, which may inspire me to live using different methods of cooking, dressing, communicating, etc.
I like to sew and make clothing and crafts. It's so exciting once you finish a piece of clothing, and wear it, because sometimes it seems like it takes ages to make one garment.
I love people who have respect, are honest, caring, giving and treat others like they are real and have feelings. If everyone did this, I wonder what the world would be like????

Alice in Wonderland - such a fashionable and inspirational movie



Model Natalia Vodianova proves that you don't have to be blonde to pull off the Alice look. I absolutely love this shoot. I would love to wear each of these looks and sit in a teeny tiny house for a day, or two. How fun.



Long flowy dresses and long socks


Antonio Marras Spring 2010


Long socks keep your legs warm on cold, windy or rainy days, and you can wear a short dress with them and still keep warm.
Long flowy dresses are good for summer as you won't get to hot, even though they are long, because the cool air can come under the dress and cool you down and you can get sleeveless or strapless ones for the insanely hot days.
More STYLE icons!!!!!!!!!

Keira Knightly

I really like the dresses she chooses (or her stylish chooses) to wear to events. The colours and fabrics she wear suit her so much. She keeps jewellery to a minimum which helps people focus more on the clothing and shoes she wears. Her dresses also have beautiful detailing on them.
Trends I am into right now!!!!!!!

I like socks and sandals together. So trendy, stylish and very cute
