saint augustine academy does vampiric chic for spring

Vampire chic hit the runway the other day at Saint Augustine Academy, who were sponsored by hit vampire HBO series, True Blood. Their opening Australian fashion week outfit was double denim for men, but with a slightly Southern feel (think Vampire Bill!). Alternative goth elements were rife from chain suspenders for men to women's chained body jewelry, studs, intense black spiked hair and white fabric dip-died with red to create a bloody effect. While the studded denim was wearable, it didn't stand out: so it was a relief to see the label's skinny tailored men's suiting make a return with it's expected rock vibe. At it's more extravagant, the menswear saw a white tuxedo jacket with black lapels and piping, which fans of the label will undoubtedly use to dress up skinny black jeans on a night out on the town.

The beauty look on the female models was vampishly striking, with blood red lips and matching red eyeliner sweeping out from under the bottom lids. Hair was at times slicked to the side to create a punkish fauxhawk, or wildly tousled like horror film vixens and 'scream queens'. Its unusual to say that we've seen something on a runway that we've never seen before - but we can do that with Saint Augustine Academy. I'm talking about the hooks and eyelets glued to the models' eyebrows which added to the alternative, gothic craziness!

it's been awhile...

I'm back! After what seemed like a super long break from blogging, I'm trying to get back in the habit after I had a few nudges to post more from some people on formspring, so here I am! Alot has been going on in my life lately and I'm having a ball. I've been up to my usual shenanigans, hanging with my girls, shopping, and of course hitting the clubs. I just realized I didn't post one single entry during the whole month of April...wow! I guess I'll have to make up for that this month. Anyway, right now I'm laying in bed (can't sleep yet again) and watching True Blood. I can't wait for the 3rd season to start next month! It'll definitely satisfy my...thirst with Vampire Diaries coming to an end. I'll try to do more personal posts like this every week. Until next time...;)

anna paquin in marie claire UK march 2010

Here is Canadian actress, Anna Paquin featured in the March 2010 issue of Marie Clair, UK. She is most known for starring in HBO's very popular (and personal fave) vampire drama, "True Blood". It's definitely one of my favorite TV shows and I don't even really watch much television. I love the rainbow hues of this shoot and the outfits are all colourful, bright, and fun. If you haven't watched True Blood yet, I highly reccommend it!
