Fashion Blog and Journals

As an australian living in Melbourne city I need to cover Summer fashions but as a girl who has a love affair with New York city I need to also cover Winter fashions.

I personaly love winter fashions, i love layering clothing. Stockings are a must have for Winter/Fall you can wear them with everything. And for Summer i loveeee with the 90's floral print.  Elaine Marie Benes Rocked that look!

I am in love with vintage clothes, late 1980's and early 1990's are my favourite clothes, growing up watching 90's sitcoms and late 80's romantic comedys did not help things, thats all i refrance to for my clothes, thats what everyone needs their own style, when you find your personal style your set for life.

Summer is all about fantastic vibrant prints, but you need to be careful you dont want tacky prints.

Today i went into one of my favourite Vintage shops, baught a white and red polka dot 80's sun dress for $20, it has a pocket on each side and I'm going to wear it with a belt to blouse it over a bit (its a very straight cut dress) its extramly comfy and its a 1950's style cut, but apparently its from the 80's, but i love it, and im going to wear it to work tomorrow. after work im going to go into Dnagerfeld (fantatsic punk/mod shop prices are normal not extream but near the neighbour hood of expensive.) I'm buying a back pack from there with the 90's square cut with the strappy straps and pull cord, it has a fantastic rose print. I dont wear back packs a lot thr only other back pack that i have that i actually like is my Silver metalic, skater back pack from american apparel.

Some of my Fashion icons are (this will include bands, artists, movies & shows):

Elaine Benes (Seinfeld)

Pretty In Pink

Back To The Future GREAT SCOTT

Sixteen Candles

Despreatly Seeking Susan

Mary Kate Olsen

Winter Fashions or Summer Fashions?

Whos your style icon?

140 characters on twitter was not enough to say what I am most thankful for today so I brought it over to this journal instead!!! I am bummed that I wasn't able to volunteer at the LA mission today because all spots were full when I applied, but it makes me happy that the rest of this city is so eager to help others that don't have it as well as most of us. I have always always wanted to help out at a shelter for Thanksgiving- next year I know to apply much earlier!

Anyways, I just wanted to share with everyone how THANKFUL i am for everything that I have been BLESSED with. Jesus has been my homeboy for a long time now & he has seriously helped me out with everything that I have accomplished so far, so for that I want to give him a big hug and kiss. I am such a hard working person & all modesty aside for a second- have come a really long way since the high school days when I started doing this whole fashion design thing for real...I have so much determination & passion & will to succeed and even through all the daily bullshit that I deal with to get from point A to point B, all the sleepless nights finishing pieces in time for deadlines, and all the frustrations when trying to make my latest collection the best they can possibly be- when I look past everything and at the overall big picture- I am honestly living my dream right now & I couldn't be more happy, grateful, and thankful for it!

With that said, one of the most important things for me to say THANK YOU to this year, and every year after this, is THANK YOU TO ALL OF YOU GUYS. Every single one of you that always supports me and motivates me and gets inspired by me....Reading all your nice emails comments messages etc makes everything worth it & I want to give all of you a giant hug! Thank you from the bottom of my heart! Being able to do something i have always dreamed about since I could remember and having support & fans & people that love my art is the best feeling in the world. I LOVE YOU!

HAPPY THANKSGIVING, WHAT ARE YOU MOST THANKFUL FOR???

Urban Original- Free Earrings from Urban Original - Starts 11/24. Must be female, between the ages of 13 and 29. Promo Code earrings. http://www.freakyfreddies.com

Thats right homies...its Collab Time!!!!

Thanksgiving is almost here, and what better way to thank our customers for giving to us than to give out new buttons with every order?!  

Yup!  We've got new buttons, and they're pretty darn sick looking.  As usual, some of them are logo designs, some are new designs, and some are shirt designs in a button form.  To know exactly what they look like though, you're gonna have to order something and see for yourself!  : p

What else is going on with ONA, you ask?  We are still running the pre-order for the new antlers hoodies, which are planned to be released mid-December.  Stoked!  If you pre-order now, you'll get free shipping and your hoodie will probably arrive before they're even officially released on the site.  Once November ends, the pre-order will no longer be available and you will forget they even existed (until they're released mid-December)!

Also, the local skate and apparel store, Flipd, had their 2-Year Anniversary Party the other day in Edmond, Oklahoma and gave away THREE ONA Trucker Hats along with other door prizes by Volcom and other various apparel brands!  There was free live music and catering, and a LOT of people came.  Not bad!  Congratulations to Flipd, and let's hope there are many many more years of parties to come!

Lastly, if you've been keeping up with ONA, you may have noticed my obsession with Harp & Lyre's music video for their new song "Insight To Failure".  I'm still obsessed, so get over it!  It's soooooo sick mcnasty!  If you have not seen the video, totally check it out below because it's one of the coolest music videos this year, and it's from an unsigned band.  Most importantly, they're sponsored by ONA!

That's all I got!  Have fun eating all that turkey!

This week I decided to focus on makeup tips that everyone can use no matter what look they are trying to pull off. This is a collection of my favorite tips and pete peeves that will help you build the foundation of a super fabulous look!

FACE:

I am a HUGE supporter of PRESSED mineral foundations/powders. They are all in one and they cover flaws really well. My favorite brand is Glo Minerals, its a bit of a splurge but its amazing!

Make sure that you always put a shadow base/concealer on your eyelid and under your eyes. Try and get a color that is a couple shades lighter then your skin tone and then even out the color with the mineral makeup powder (about 2 shades lighter then your skin) over the top.

One of my biggest pet peves is when people use lighter powder to highlight their foreheads, nose and under eyes. Tyra Banks is of course beautiful but she is guilty of doing this way too often. YUCK!

If you pick up any Vogue right now you will see that going tanning or wearing bronzer is OUT OF FASHION. Catherine Zeta-Jones was guilty of applying WAYYY too much bronzer (at least wear matte bronzer if you insist) in this picture. If you are fair skinned, embrace it.. Its very hot right now, and thank goodness because I'm practically albino!

On the other hand, make sure you dont look like you are washed out and dead like J-Lo in this picture. JEEEZE!

EYES:

All I am going to say is Kim Kardashian's eye makeup looks ridiculous (it matches her dress tho! ha). Most teenage girls do this exact same look with black eyeliner, and ITS TIME FOR GIRLS TO BE MORE CREATIVE WITH THEIR MAKEUP!

TIP: Apply black eyeliner just to the water lines of your eyes. Apply a black or brown eyeshadow under your eye as a blended liner, this adds more depth and looks more mature.

Most people dont realize that mascara needs to be replaced about once every 2 months or so. If it dries out it will look cakey and gross on your eyes. Dont pump your mascara brush in the tube, that will just get air trapped and dry it out faster.

TIP:If you are looking to get awesomely long and plump lashes without applying falsies, apply a few coats of mascara.

Rounded cat eyes are SO out this season so try something more edgy and angled like Katy Perry.

TIP: Use a tissue as an angled straight edge to get your eyeshadow straight and also to collect eyeshadow dust. I use this technique every day.

Next week I want to answer your questions! 

Submit your questions to this post and next week they will be answered :)

XOX,

I have not been updating this place as of late. I prefer to blog about my life under f-locked journals so I can speak completely un-cencored. I tend not to hold anything back... still, I have this space that I could be using to speak and I'm not making any use of it.

This is the last mention of my private life on here, so pay attention... Lately life hasn't been treating me so well. I've had a rough past months adjusting to living in the US. I'm used to being able to walk over to a friend's house whenever I feel like it. I don't have that option anymore. People here are rude, not interested in creating relationships... they just want to graduate, party, and get the hell out of this place. I also went though a time of boy-troubles... you know, the typical story. Blah blah blah. 

This is something that Keltie Colleen, who I consider a friend of mine, said resently in her own journal, and it really spawned a new perspective of life on my own behalf, "Listen, you can't love someone into loving you back. You cannot even like someone into liking you back. Stop trying. It never works. The only thing we really have control of at any moment is how we allow ourselves to feel about that. It used to make me really sad, and now, I feel liberated. Why try to make a peanut butter sandwich when you have no jelly? Why not just grab a spoon and enjoy a big spoonful of the good stuff for yourself?"

The reason why I'm mentioning this is because when stuff turns to shit with me I tend to completely reinvent myself and move in a different direction. Then I get this sudden boost and I become passionate and that's when I start creating good things. It's like those musicians that write their best songs after the storm. I gain a new outlook, and then I realize how amazing my life is, I've just been focusing on one really crappy part of it.

I've decided I am going to be using this journal as a space to talk about fashion, music, advice and all the rest of that good stuff. I had wanted to do something like this for a while now, I always had thought it was a little pretentious. Regardless if it is or isn't I'm doing it. This is something that I know my friends back home will enjoy, I'm often known as the girl in my group with great skin, cool makeup tricks, etc. It was discussed a long time ago between Sarah and I that I should make makeup vlogs for Youtube... I'd much prefer to use my words rather than my face.  

If there's anything you would me to blog about, advice needed, trends to follow, yada yada, leave a comment.
