Open your eyes.: December 2009

Thursday, December 31, 2009

sad to see you go, but happy about whats comming.

Today, is the 31st of December. The last day of 2009. The last day of the year of the Ox. Maybe it is the last day before you become another year level at school or the last day you can say you are a student, for me its the last day ill be year 10, I will now move up to be year 11. A little unnerving to say the least.

Today, the 31 of December 2009. Tomorrow, the 1st of January 2010. The first days of a new decade, the first day to put you’re resolutions into action. The first day of starting something new perhaps. The first day of changing you’re self for the better.

What ever you see the coming year as, I say look to it with hope, be happy that things are moving on and if there ways something that happened to you in 2009 look past it. Don’t forget it, but look into the future and try to take action of you life, you call the shots. If you start the New Year with a new take on thing then who knows what could happen. It would be a good time to look back on the year that has just flown past us, and remember the things that have happened. Look back for a moment of all the great things that have happened to you this year, take a moment to reflect on your self what went right and what didn’t go so well?

No another note I thought it would be a good time to remember the fashion tends of 2009. This year has been a year of great trends and people have been setting their own trends. If you walk down the street you don’t see clones of each other anymore, you see people be different and trying new things out. Hear are a of my favorite trends of 2009.

The return of the 80s into fashion would be something worth mentioning. The 1980's is the style decade that just wont die From leggings to bight patters and neon palette. Below Marc Jacobs fall runway collection, for 2009showing us precisely that we haven’t forgotten the 80’s.

Boyfriend shirts and boyfriend jean have been big trend this year. We have seen them on the catwalk and filtering down in department stores. However, While the boyfriend shirt and denim trends have reached masses and, therefore, aren't really considered trends anymore. The boyfriend blazer has found new elegance and will be with us in 2010. Which I am so very glad about because I think that the boyfriend blazer must be my most favorite piece.

The tribal look has been a big trend this year. Designers going global for their inspiration, such as African, bohemian and Egyptian are being big influences in the tribal trend. Tribal themes can be seen with the strong use of animal prints combined with geometric shaped skirts in earthy colours such as grass green.

Statement glasses, were a big trend in late 2009 and I hope that this trend will defiantly carry on to 2010.

The high wasted trend has been around for awhile now but this yeah it was more apparent with high wasted shorts and jeans showing up on the cat walk and in ever day fashion.

Lastly, one of my favorite influences of 2009 style would be indie. indie is a style that originally to express the want of not letting mainstream fashion impose on your likes and dislikes. So basically it describes anything that departs from the mainstream.

well thats about all from me for 2009.Happy New Year everyone. LH. x

not just an ordinary morning.

As I sit hear recovering from the whirlwind that just past throughout my house, namely my two cousins, Hannah and Hamish. They arrived late last night about two I believe from sunny Australia, while I was in a wondrous dreamland of the beautiful Paris. Walking down the high street. With of course an array of stunning, exotic French boys surrounding me, then suddenly I awoke to the chatter and combust of them tearing apart my home. To be quite frank I was a bit annoyed that they had ruined my dream, okay so maybe annoyed is an understatement. However I went to greet them in the tired state I dragged myself out of bed and down the hallway to the lounge where they all were chatting if you can call it that. I said my hellos and how are you and then decided that it was time to go back to bed.
I had finally just drifted off to sleep again when Hannah comes and jumps on my bed as says in an excited and happy voice- what do you want to play first Lindsey? I groan and sit up slowly. What would make her thing that i would want to play anything it was 3 O’clock in the morning. So I reply to her “lets play go to bed and see who can sleep the longest.” In a slightly sarcastic voice. I don’t think she picked up on it though. She sits there thinking for awhile as if trying to figure out how we would play this game. She opens her mouth with a question but just as she’s about to speak my auntie calls up the hallway "Hannah you better not have woken Lindsey up" Hannah jumps of my bed in a hurry and run out of my room, "no mum" she says in a innocent tone.

I wake up in the morning with the sun streaming through my window and I’m instantly happy, but then I hear it and I’m astounded at the amount of noise streaming up the hall in to my bed room. I hear Hannah singing in a very high pitched, not to mention out of key voice and I‘m a little scared to be honest. I hear the bustle of things happening in the kitten and my brother’s ridiculously loud racing car game. I try to go back to sleep but there is no way possible to do so now, my brain has slowly started to work. So I just lie there think of nothing in particular, just stare up at the roof, then I decided to get up. I walk down the hall again, I’m groggy and sleep still lingers in my eyes. But I pull through. I address the morning as a challenge and entertain my little cousins with the most exciting activities and then its time for them to leave as they must make a start up to the West Coast where they will be staying for the next couple of days. What can I say I’m relieved to say the least. Just as fast as they came they are gone, in a flash. Leaving a collecting of crumbs, rubbish and toys speared across my lounge like its jam on toast.

Now I’m typing this, sill tired. As I write I am drinking my peppermint tea and surfing the Internet for something remotely interesting to look at. Just thought I share my wonderful experience with you.

Until next time LH.x

Agyness. she is truly extraordinary!

Agyness Deyn is an English super model. But to people like me she is not just a super model she is a icon. Her style has been decried as tomboy, punk, indie and even lady punk. But I believe that it’s the combination of all of theses together that makes her such a fashion icon to so many people. She has been named as the face of the generation, and the most glamour’s face in fashion.

A bit about Agyness.

Agyness Deyn's real name is Laura Hollin. The name Agyness Deyn, was actually chosen as Laura's going-to-be-famous name, by her and her mother.

Agyness was spotted by a subject-hungry photographer in the rather unlikely venue of a hip vintage store in London's Kentish Town.

She was born on the 16 of February 1983. Which makes her 26.
Agyness is most known for her short hair, and her street style.

How you say her name- Agyness pronounced like Agnes and Deyn is pronounced like Dean as in rhymes with mean.

Did I mention that she is also a singer! And she’s not half bad. See -

Agyness defiantly inspires me. Her style is just perfect is so different and i love her for it, it makes her, her. I think that style is truly amazing! Agyness is so remarkable her talent and just everything about her she is so exquisite looking. Well, I suppose you’ve had enough of me ranting on so ill leave you with just a few of my favorite pikiees of Agyness. (:

Isnt she just Exceptional, striking, astounding, marvelous, take your pick.

well, hear I'am. .

well, I better start off with say that I'm Lindsey. HI.

Why did I decided to start this blog, I guess. . It was to express my creative genius. hmm yeah that sounds good, doesn't it. Or maybe it was because I wanted an out let, something that I could spill my entire guts, my life story, feelings and opinion. That way its much more easier, i suppose. maybe it is because the idea of a blog just generally sound cool, fun, interesting.etc.
Blogging, i suppose is a type of art. You have to find the happy medium of not saying to much or to little. Its basically a diary except you know a lot of people are going to read it. then you cant let that stop you from whiting what you feel and saying what you want because its your blog and if people don't like it they don't have to read it.
what I'm trying to say is that, this is all quite new to me as it is my first blog, I'm just experimenting.
so wish me luck. (:
