The Craft

Saturday, September 5, 2015




Wearing: Romance Was Born dress, thrifted cardigan and J.W. Anderson shoes.

Today's outfit is equal parts craft techniques and more ethereal ~witchy vibes~. This dress is such a special piece and I always feel so potent and powerful when I wear it. Originally I was inspired by all things haberdashery but extended that metaphor to mother of pearl buttons and yarn for something warm. These are the last photos I took at Philip Island but hopefully I'll be back soon! It was so hard deciding what clothes to being and even though we were only visiting for three days I wanted to make the most of it. I can now see why packing for Fashion Week is such a big deal, and why weeks of deliberation are spent making these decisions. Packing these shoes probably took the most room, but each piece took up a considerable amount of space. In my defense, a winter wardrobe will need to have a little more weight and texture to it. I have every intention of channelling my inner witch next season, which means lots of long flowing dresses with some Stevie Nicks vibes. It's so hard not to feel influenced by the 70s inspiration that swept the runway last season, but as always I've interpreted using my own colour palette and aesthetic.

Wearing: Vintage dress, thrifted cardigan, POMS earrings and Dr Martens boots.

My mum said this outfit was "too fluffy". Little does she know there's no such thing. I felt so good wearing this outfit but some people cannot deal with fluffy white earrings. I wore this outfit to the Melbourne Art Book Fair held at the National Gallery of Victoria, and even there some people were staring. I don't mind though because I got a signed copy of Minna Gilligan's limited edition book, Poems, Prayers and Promises. I also got to hang out with some rad babes I have met through various unofficial Rookie Mag events and got to catch up with them. Given that I've been so busy this year with my research I think it's forced me to make time for the things I truly enjoy. Which means that I'm busy all the time but I think that's when I'm happiest, even though I sometimes collapse into bed because I'm so exhausted.
