You've got growing up to do kid
I have never really been good at expressing myself.
I struggle to talk to people because my mind works to fast I can't really explain what I am trying to think. One of my friends just looked at me blankly one day and said: "You do know that no-one understands what you are talking about right?".
Maybe because I was talking about my view on Picasso and she didn't know anything about him or something.
I think that is why I love fashion so much.
It gives me a way to show how I am feeling without having to talk, and at least if I look good (or so I think), people will think I am feeling good even if I am not.
So I was really excited when I got given this Lookbook assignment for school, and we got given the guideline of "Do whatever you want", so I felt this was really a chance to show my style and what I like since I can't really explain it in words.
I took inspiration from like 1980's, grunge, Vivienne Westwood and just some outfits I have tried and experimented with. I love to mix patterns, colours and textures at the moment. Everything is all grey in Paris everyday so I always stand out with my outfits haha.
I wanted to tell a story of how I felt when I moved to Paris and how I still feel a lot of the time.
Someone who is lost, who tries to be grown up but is trying to still be fun and his childhood but has so much other things to worry about and fashion is one way how he still has fun and gets to just do what the fuck he wants.

My top 5 of 2012, Because it just has to be done.

The Great Gatsby Movie Trailers
Lets face it, this will probably be the most amazing and fashionable movie of all time.
Even though it was meant to be out already and it isn't, I don't really care.
Baz Luhrmann can take as long as he wants and I'll still love him.
New release date is apparently 17 May.

The Drums
Originally from NYC, the Drums have been around since 2008. I discovered them this year thanks to my best friend Cynthia because they were playing in Cape Town. I never got to go to the concert because I already moved to Paris at that time but now they are easily my favourite band.
My Favourite song by them - Days
The music video is even more amazing because the fabulous Amanda Lepore is in it.

GIRLS
Since Gossip Girl ended (on a dismal note might I add), Girls has replaced it for me as the Best Series based in New York City.
Basically it revolves around 4 friends who have finished college and their real life problems. Think of it like Sex and the City before the glamour kinda thing.

Paris Fashion Week/This is New York Party/Mugler Afterparty
Partying with the best people, with the best fashion, at the best Clubs, in the best city in the world. What could be better right?
My first Paris Fashion Week will defiantly be remembered for ever, from meeting Louis (www.superficialliving.com/ or @LOUIS_via_ROMA) and Eliott (eliottandthebeati.com/ or @EliottMnl) who are the best people ever, sitting front row at Mugler, Partying with Azaelia Banks, Sky Ferreira and The Misshapes then having to be at school from 14 - 19:00 and starting all over again.

Paris
As amazing as this year was in many other ways, there is no way in fuck that anything other thank moving to Paris this year could beat it. Nothing else in my life will probably beat moving to Paris, 14 August 2012.
As hard as it was and has been to be away from everything I have ever known, leaving my friends and family and starting a whole new life in a foreign country with a foreign language and a transport system that actually works and I still get lost on nearly 6 months later I wouldn't trade being here, doing what I love and studying at one of the top Fashion Schools in the world for anything else, ever.

Happy 2013 Everyone
So after a couple months break, which I never really wanted to take from blogging I'm back.
The past few months have been absolutely crazy, with school, having to be a proper grown up and pay bills and worry about money, relationships, and all that other stuff.
I hope you all had an amazing 2012 for the best past and you bought in 2013 in the best possible way.
I have the feeling already that 2013 is going to be crazy.
AND more importantly today marks down 15 days to go until Menswear Paris Fashion Week!
I'm so excited.
I have other blog posts to work on now, so this one will just be short.
