These are a few pictures of what I wore to school yesterday. I made the jacket myself and I’m trying on this new slyle of turban.

A very Tavi weekend #2 (2 in 1 style review)
A Very Fashionable Queue
These are two pictures of some amazing girls in their amazing outfits

I found this one of a kind girl right at the front of the queue but I could spot her a mile away . This was at Tavi’s talk so you can’t go wrong with a homemade flower headband. These extra cute retro glasses definitely match her lower cut doc’s which teamed with socks over stockings is the best fashion rule I have ever broken (and they are polka dots). This cute cut dress is met with a gorgeous green farmland country print (I”m not sure if its Eastern or Western?) and she went a little unorthodox by tieing the ribbon at the front.

This young lady waiting by the door had a natural, dark, animalistic vibe to her outfit. Hair mysteriously swept to the side with a leopard print scarf wrapped around her head, unseen a peach cardigan and an indian patterned deep brown, green and red blouse lurks beneath. Worn leather combat boots, a cord jacket lined with fur and and essential denim short gives this outfit a rustic feel. AND TO TOP IT OFF AN AMERICAN ACCENT makes this girl effortlessly cool.
Similarities:
docs, black tights, awesome attitude and both Tavi fangirls (why so much Doc Martens?)

A very Tavi weekend #1
We arrived at the Athenaeum Theatre (an old theatre on Collins Street) early to find a massive queue of stylish girls waiting to get into the Tavi’s World talk. Rookie’s editor, Tavi Gevinson had been invited by the Melbourne Writer’s Festival to give a keynote address. It was a very diverse age group – mainly under 20’s.
Me at The Athenaeum
While we were waiting in the queue, I took some photos of some fantastic girls, but then they all started asking me for a photo and what my blog address was. It was pretty cool.
Tavi gingerly stepped onstage. there was so much applause, she looked a little bit overwhelmed.
I liked her power point display – it was hand drawn-ish and didn’t look computerised. She talked about imagining if David Attenborough did a nature documentary about One Direction.. “Harry Styles is stepping out of the limo. A stiff breeze, but his hair, it doesn’t move.”
Tavi talked about being a ‘fangirl’ and how it’s not about the Stars, it’s about how being a Fangirl makes YOU feel. She talked about her and her boyfriend breaking up, being diagnosed with depression, and ways she dealt with it, including her addiction to making journals.
She said that it was more fun looking at Style.com at home in her bedroom than being in the front row of the Paris fashion shows.
After her talk, she did a Q&A session with the audience. A lot of the questions were very repetitive, but she coped with it.
I felt pretty happy when we left. It felt pretty special to be in the same room as THE Tavi Gevinson.
When I am her age I’d like to be as confident as she is.
look of the day #4
tribal topknot
This is what I wore to the Melbourne International Film Festival premiere of new TV series “Nowhere Boys”. I loved “Nowhere Boys”. My favourite character was Felix – I had my photo taken with him and with one of the female leads, Tamala Shelton and I can’t wait till it goes on air later this year.

look of the day #3

colour freak
I got this ra-ra skirt as a gift from the Suitcase Rummage, but it had already been mine ! When I was going through my Gothic stage, I gave it to the opp shop. A lady gave it (back) to me after I bought a dress from her at the Northcote Suitcase Rummage. It still had my name tag on it.
Pretty weird story.

Choose your own adventure in Princes Hill
On Sunday a couple of weeks ago I went on an Art Walk. Not knowing what to expect I brought my mum. Mum decided it was probably a walk that showed us lots of the art in Princes Hill. When we first arrived at Princes Hill Community Centre I was SHOCKED because everyone else at the workshop was older than me but that was OK because I met some really interesting people who were quite interested in me.
I think this is the order we did things:
First we had a cup of soup and waited for everyone to arrive.
After everybody had arrived we started our walk; lucky we had an expert in Princes Hill history there.
Funnily enough there along the front of someone’s house, was a nice big box of Jerusalem artichokes with a sign saying “take some please – grown out in the garden”. FREE Jerusalem artichokes YUMM!
We sat down in a road island parallel to a historic building called ‘Lime’s Grove’. We had all gotten acquainted so there was much to talk about. The artist running the workshop Lois Conlan told us to draw what you see and handed out the pens, pencil, water, oil pastels, and crayons. Some of the people’s work was abstract (mine) and some more realistic (mum’s).
Limes Grove
We drew at a few other locations including pastel sketching the Art Deco building ‘Roshi Pinah’ and Tree rubbing at ‘Princes Park’.
After the walk we went back to the Community Centre and made amazing flowers out of recycled plastic bottles and hung them up outside; it definitely made the window bars look much nicer.
Even though it was not a tour of the art in Princes Hill we still saw heaps of art in the park like the pixie’s and their boats.
It was nice to have some time alone with my mum. I really liked the workshop but I don’t think it was pitched for my age group. This art walk was free and there’s heaps of other free and low cost workshops at Princes Hill Community Centre.
Grafitti in The ‘Hood #1
what up what up long time no see
These are some of my current faves but there are heaps of ’em in Melbourne. That’s why so many people come to Melbourne. I don’t know who the artists are nor do I know the title of this great graffiti, so I made up my own.
OMG it’s cat girl
OMG it’s cat girl
This cat/human is an amazing portrait on the side of a Singaporean restaurant. She reminds me of one of my friends. I’m pretty sure that the girl is a child which so it show a stage of innocence not kids are innocent
So very dull
Blah so very dull
Blah is such a delightful change from all that boring and normal suburban houses around it but also has heaps of irony, sarcasm what ever you call it. The artist (which by the way I think is the owner of the house) chose such a word to decorate because if it was sparkle or magic you would look at it and say “cheesy”.
de night owl lights up
De Night Owl
I LOVE THIS OWL, It’s so simple but it looks fantastic. The dots of colour in the owl looks like multi-coloured stars and definitely brightens the wall up.
If you want to check out some more street art in the city, here’s a look at City Lights.
“little people can do big things” at Little Big Shots
Little Big Shots is a short film festival for kids from kids. It started off in Melbourne and now the festival opens in Melbourne and continues to tour Australia and the rest of the world. Little Big Shots started off as a competition where young people (15 and younger) entered their films into the multiple categories and there are prizes awarded to the favourites. But the big thing for everybody entering is a chance for their movie to be shown at the festival.
2013’s Little Big Shots screened at Australian Centre for the Moving Image. There were heaps of packages like ‘Forever Young’, ‘LBS Up Late’ and ‘Big Kids Flicks’. Little Big Shots is not just for littlies. They have some pretty moving short films.
My three favourites are:
The short funny music video Reloaded was about a man experimenting on crazy creatures. I won’t give it all away but the whole city gets destroyed then it is rewound like on TV.
*Spoiler alert: read no further if you don’t want to know the final twist !
Julian was hilarious but it took more than a 5 year old to understand it. A young girl that sat in the chair next to Julian in class was a sheep and couldn’t and didn’t tell the teacher about a boy annoying her constantly. The teacher had a very short wick, so he sent him to the Principal’s office. Now there is a little bit of blackmailing but it really doesn’t get funny until the Principal makes an announcement and at the end says something like this “and let us follow in his footsteps and report any misbehaviour. Remember to thank Julian Assange”.
This is about a young person in a war-torn country that wishes for peace. He makes good out of bad and shows the world he hasn’t given up. In Missing, it made hints throughout the whole film about his missing leg, and the animation was incredible. I think it was stop motion but it was hard to tell. The people had newsprint faces and it was an extraordinary mix of colours, textures and patterns
(this is not in order that I liked them)
Overall, Little Big Shots is a great experience and I’d love to see the new films next year!
