My comments:

Litas:
When I tried it on for the first time I literally said "It's so soft on my foot!"
Everyone says how comfy these shoes are, and you know- don't believe it til you've tried it- that's what my thoughts were, but boy! They really are comfy! I was talking to my bro about it (cuz he's cool like that- and was getting all technical about it) and we (read: he) figured that it's because it just gives the illusion of height but inside the shoe there's actually not that much height at all. So your foot is all comfy up in there while you are towering above most boys. For me... it's only small boys, because I'm a shortie :C I just think that's amazing and smart, and I really love them! And I thank JC for making such hawt tall shoes which girls can actually walk in without spraining their ankle or tripping and lsoing all their shit (this happened to me once with a pair of tall wedges 6 inch i think? It was at the races and their were old people about, I felt their judging eyes I FELT THEM). These shoes are my first JC purchase, and I hope for many more in the future! (R.I.P. bank account)
P.S. The shoebox was pink had kitties on it! Usually I don't like felines but the packaging was so cute! <3

Galaxy Green:
Lol- I didn't even get a shipping confirmation e-mail, so I wasn't expecting this! I was quite pleasantly surprised though to say the least. It's so beautiful. I wish the only clothes I owned were BM!

UO:
Wolves, bacon and cards! What a perfect order. These are quite my favourite things! Not all of my favourite things of course- psssh who only has three favourite things? Lame people- that's who! The wolf shirt goes well with my purple galaxies- yay, that's the other reason I bought it!

I think all this excitement will last me till I fall asleep seeing at it is now 12...
Night sprites!

Small Green Fox - Conceptual Eyes Exhibition 2011

Hey Foxes,

This is an event from last year, but since a lot of exciting stuff happened then, and this blog is only fresh and new I’m gonna have to use old material. Hope you don’t mind!

Anyway, this from my diploma class’ exhibition in November last year. The night was a whole lot of fun, but for something that takes so long to plan, it ends before you know it.

I had a great class and teachers, we had really fun times. Our official graduation ceremony is in two weeks, so that will be exciting- gowns, caps and all!

As a group the theme was ConceptualEyes, we had to come up with the branding, venue and all that other planning. Then we each had various areas to display our personal works. We had to create an identity and brand for ourself. Small Green Fox is my brand. I chose it because it’s unique and kind of quirky. It means a few different things- it’s kind of like my alter ego. It can be seen as what personality I want myself and my business to represent- small representing humble, green representing being down-to-earth and the lime colour in particular is an odd colour that you can’t help but be fond of. The fox character represents sly and cunning (without the evil stereotype of foxes) solutions to graphic design. The character having Edwardian-esque or just traditional accessories (top hat, monocle, bow tie) a friendly fox that you can trust and that is very easy to get along with. And he’s also kind of like my little graphic design companion- helping me out with design problems and encouraging me. So in a relatively short paragraph, that explains the meaning behind my brand.

By the way, my mum made me my very own real life Small Green Fox- you’ll see him down there. Felting is a really interesting craft- it baffles me, you’ll have to google it. Everyone loved him and I don’t blame them!

Hope you enjoy the photos.

Later Foxes!

Took Chewiie to Queen’s Park today!

Meet Chewiee- the small brown not-so-fox.

It was a great sunny day and the flowers were bright and colourful!

Chewiie even got a bath this morning. It’s a lot of work for such a small dog. And after our walk we went to the pet food shop to stock up his kibble supply. I don’t take him to the park and out on adventures as much as I should, so hopefully the little guy had fun today!

History of Hair!

-Because I've got to keep track somehow!

Hey everyone,
Thought I should get into the habit of posting! So here's a little bit of history about my hair in this past year. I hope you like it!

February 2011

When I first died it, it was really high up, so I looked like  I had a little black bob.

It's weird seeing me with such light hair! Seeing as my hair is BLACK!
I'm quite fond of the blonde, to be honest!

Dark Magenta!

April:

Thulian Pink?

Testing out, because I'm a cautious broad!

May:

"Forest Green" - Manic Panic

July:

So bright! I think this was a mixture of mostly La Riche colours. As well as atomic  turquoise <3

September:

So now it's a little faded as I have been too lazy to apply much effort it to dying it pretty and colourful again! I'm thinking I need to re-bleach as it keeps growing out, and getting trimmed off :c

You'd be surprised how many comments I get on my hair any day I leave the house. It's really nice actually :3

Who doesn't have a girl crush on Kimbra?

I have such a girl crush on this lass! And to think she's only a year older than me! Jealous of what she has done so far! It's about time I found some amazing girl tunes- always with the boys in my music library! Her style and clothes also make me rage with jealousy. I mean, c'mon look at those little yellow pom poms!

Dirty Arial

Last semester we had a really awesome class- projects had to get done quick, they didn't drag out, and they were actually based on things people like me might be interested in doing! Unfortunately, we couldn't have that teacher this semester again, so sad!

Anyway, basically we all had to alter Arial. It was really fun and was interesting to see 12 different people doing the exact same project, and how varying the results were.

Design Debauchery: Annual Report

This is an assignment from earlier I did this year for my graphic design course, the brief was to create an annual report for a traveling art class company around Australia called Flying Arts.

By featuring robins endemic to the Queensland region,  where the company is based, I think it involves the community as something personal. With a grungy, paint-like aesthetic and combining art utensils in the birds' environment it involves the creativeness of what the company aims to be about and also is quite different to most things you would find, especially in an annual report. Which is something you want for an annual report, not to be bored out of your mind when reading it.

I used two bold colours that really stand out yet also complement each other. I'm a fan of white space and I really embraced it in this design and I think that, teamed with the simplicity of the typography balance quite well with the detailed feature pictures.
