You're a virgin who can't drive.

Night all, ♡

I watched Clueless for the first time in what feels like ages and it reminded me of all the things that I loved about growing up in the 90's. I had a massive nostalgia attack over the film and this post will include my never ending love and dedication to this classic piece of 90's, captured on film. The frequency of plaids, florals, tartan, stripes and mary-jane shoes in Clueless are quintessentially 90's, as is the use of the grungy tie-dye and checked shirts of the skater group. Also as a side-note, I wish I had Cher's virtual wardrobe matcher to help me choose my daily outfits, getting ready for uni would be so much easier! I actually only discovered that the film went onto become a running TV series, airing from 1996 to 1999. I found majority of the episodes on Youtube and I'm planning on watching them sometime soon while I still have free time. Not sure if it will be as good as the film but I'll see!

❀ Collage inspiration. ❀

Clueless also takes me back to the days of the original Beverly Hills 90210 which was of course paramount in regards to early to mid 90's fashion. It seems that hardly anything has changed between the trends of today compared to the trends of the 90's, particularly in the resurgence of crop tops circa 2010 and all things floral printed.

❀ TOO MANY AMAZING 90'S CLOTHES. ❀

❀ Donna's body-con daisy print dress is perfect! ❀

❀ I love the over sized orange chiffon shirt and the white t-shirt + red polka-dot skirt ensemble. ❀

❀ Those orange red pants! LOVE. ❀

❀ This lips printed skater dress is equally perfect! Totally wish I could find something like this in an op-shop! ❀

❀ Stripes and high-waisted shorts, super modern. ❀

❀ L-R: Minkpink ballet school dress, Minkpink all sorts dress, Minkpink blossom dress, Minkpink copacabana dress ❀

Much of Minkpink's collections feature 90's inspired pieces, which is one of the reasons why I love this brand so much! I particularly love the last dress, it has a feel of tropical beaches and hot summer nights dancing the tango at a beach party.

Here are a few snapshots of things that have related to my life at this present moment. (From L-R, top to bottom):
1. Love this dress by Minkpink, it has a really nice 50's vibe about it and it looks so flattering, I can't wait to wear it for my graduation ceremony!
2. Trying out the dutch crown braid/milkmaid braid, but it never works on freshly cleaned hair (has to be at least 2 days old I think) and I also have so much excess hair left over!
3. An authentic Egyptian painting, painted on papyrus from Egypt. I really want to visit Egypt in my lifetime
4. A collection of random pastel objects I love - pink lipstick, Mason Pearson hairbrush, antique gold bobby pins and combs.
5. One of my regular backyard visitors. ♡
6. Affirmation for 2013.

When I was young, I was in love with My Little Pony, as I'm sure many other young girls were! When I came back home, I uncovered my collection of my little ponies and felt a wave of nostalgia hit me. They are so simple, yet so entertaining, creating random stories with my sisters and giving life to these colourful plastic creatures. I think the names of the ponies also appealed to me - Moonshadow, Fluttershy, Sundance, Minty and Rosedust. I would watch the movie over and over again!

I had the blue pony called Ivy in this commercial - these were my first my little ponies from the 90's. I liked how the ponies had diamantés in their eyes. From this generation I also had Dainty Dove and Moonshadow.


I also watched the tv show from the 80's occasionally, which was amusing to me at the time!


I had ponies from the third generation too - Pinkie Pie, Kimono and Star Swirl.

Now there is the My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic show, which I haven't looked at yet but apparently it is supposed to be quite entertaining. I think I am too old for My Little Pony now, but I can still like them in secret! :) I think, even at 20 years old, a girl can still like My Little Pony, if only for the memory of childhood adventures.

All the pastel hair I have seen around reminds me of all the My Little Ponies and their multicoloured manes!

I created another illustration which is likely to be my last for a while as I fly to go back home on Tuesday. I used real flowers and petals which I found on the ground in the Botanic Gardens when I was getting some exercise and fresh air out there, plus I wanted to try something new; integrate natural elements into my work.

Apart from this, I have not been doing much of anything except reading and drawing and walking around the city. I got my last result back for my website and was very happy to see the HD on the feedback form! So I am glad that I don't have to stress at all on my marks because I didn't fail anything.

The book I am currently reading is Patti Smith's Just Kids, which is a memoir to the times she and Robert shared together. I am really liking it, I can imagine all of the people they met and befriended as well as the locations they visited. It's a really good book so far and I am close to finishing it.

I shall leave you with some pictures I took of the wonderful roses in the rose garden at the Botanic Gardens.
