I hope everyone has an awesome new years.. and that you've all got some big goals to strive towards in the new year.... even if it is just buying a puppy lol.

YES I AM ADDICTED TO POM POMS

SHIRT BY WITCHERY, NECKLACE BY CHASE.DAKOTA, RINGS BY SPORTSGIRL

You could probably guess by now that i have an obsession with pom poms... i wouldn't say it is out of control yet... i think i still have some what of a grasp on my sanity.  They are just so cute i want to put them on everything!!! I am also in the process of making a scarf covered in pom poms.  I think they are slowly consuming me ahhhh

QUT GRADUATION SHOW

Wow... talk about an amazing group of students.  I went to the QUT Fashion Graduation Show (Fashion Degustation) on Friday night, and it has taken me so long to sift through all the photos, as it was soo hard to choose the best ones... the whole show was pretty much amazing.  I've split it up into a few sections for your browsing... this is probably my longest post so far.  But honestly, watch these new upcoming designers.

These are my absolute favourite looks from the entire show, some photos don't do the pieces justice, and also my blurred photography doesn't help lol.

And wait there's more... haha maybe i will put it in another post, as i haven't quite yet figured out how to upload my movies yet.  One of the designers had a film at the start of her collection, i found the short film to be moving and really inspiring, it definitely captured my attention, so i thought i would share it with you.... but not till next post, this one is big enough :)
