J&B Met Met Met.

Finally. This was it! And it was incredible! One of the best experiences I have ever had.
Let's be honest, I have never really been interested in horses (not really my scene) and nor was racing. But wow! I'm just a little addicted! The fashion, the betting, the lovely big horses . . . it's just such a fantastic atmosphere. Definitely something I want to carry on doing, getting much more into it :)

Now, being at a fashion event such as the J&B Metropolitan, I should have thousands of pictures of people and thier dresses . . . but to be honest, i am very shy about asking random people to let me take pictures of them . . . So i had to take pictures on the sly. Not great but hey.








There are no pictures of me and what I wore, because I am very much sick of having that dress in my posts . . . here is a link to see it . . . but no pictures :P
PROJECT BALL GOWN is finished.
No more for a while. No more of that fabric. No more.
So, all in all - a great day was had . . . though I thinking about it afterwards, I really should have taken more pictures of people . . .
Thank you, love of life and his mother dear for organising the tickets. Siiick jol really.

j&&b, test run

Cavendish Square hosts the J&B Met fedisa Most Elegant Couple

after an eleven week holiday, that's ELEVEN weeks of freedom and sleep, we had our runway show, showcasing the talent of last years Second Years, that's this years Third Years. So basically we had to style our
P R O J E C T   B A L L   G O W N S, adding a male part and accessories . . .
Easy, yes, just time consuming.

This is Tarryn, and she, surprisingly enough fitted into my custom made, corseted ball gown - beautifully.


well, this was today :)




With a nightmare today, that only I can conjure up, I managed to get two fully clothed people out on the runway on time. My male model on arrived back for holiday this morning, with the fitting being yesterday. So I started today with an outfit that hadn't been fitted, no male shoes and no write-up for the dresser, I was running late and because of the running late, the male issue and the heat, it was just getting worse and worse. So arriving 45 minutes late, everything was there - male model included and it ended up being a very enjoyable day. I didn't place in the top Three, but that's not all bad - just means that I get to go to the Met in my outfit ;)

With my dearest sitting with me watching the show, we had fun :)




I even dragged my darling manfriend through Cavendish Square and found myself a lovely bag :) post on that later

And I promise, no more posts on this damn dress, PROJECT BALL GOWN is done and dusted. That was second year . . . we are heading into a new year, new classroom, last ten months of university. Can you believe it?

what I'm wearing
gypsy mini dress - project, mr price
brown glads - mr price
brown leatherette sling bag - studio w, woolworths
