Hello Cyber world!
This is my 2nd attempt at a blog, the first failing due to a rather tumultuous year and a loss of all creative thought. having recently been re-inspired, i decided it was time for take two.

Before i begin, please note this is not one of those pretentious fashion blogs where i pose awkwardly, Russh magazine style (on purpose of course!) in front of an expensive camera and talk about my self as if i am Gods gift to humankind. My camera is old, your cell phone probably has more mega-pixels, and i am without a tripod to sit it on. i one day wish to be a stylist, so this blog will be used as my forum for documenting my fashion wins (and fails) instead of being about the photography. It is for me to look back on my outfit choices and laugh, cry, and hopefully sometimes feel proud, as well as to discuss inspirations and obsessions.

Now for a little about me.
I am a 25 year old Melbournite, with unhealthy obsessions with Burberry, bows, leopard print and sneaker culture. I have a severe case of style A.D.D- i will go from sneaker chic, to 80's revival, to classic feminine to rocker babe all in the space of a week. I do not in any way consider myself a style queen, and would love to start taking more fashion risks, to become more eclectic.
I'm the type of girl who will never write/ draw in pencil, i prefer to confront my mistakes head on. And hell, a fashion faux pas aint the end of the world, as Frankie said, "RELAX!"

Having got the introduction out the way, i hope you enjoy my take on the world of fashion, follow my mistakes and triumphs, and laugh with my along the way.

-M.
