New Opps
 After four rounds of debating and prep to say I am tired is an understatement, especially when this is your first time at debating all year. However everyone was on the same playing field and my cases from 3 debate onwards were atrocious.
 So as you would've guessed no Northland Debating team and no Nationals this year, which I am disappointed by as I met so many amazingly cool people down at Nationals which I won't get to met up with for sometime. Also I won't make new (future) friends which sucks.
 However as the saying goes when another door closes another one opens (or a window depending on your cynicalness) and this means I'll be able to teach younger debaters at my school, and focus on other things like school work, hockey, work work (well I might get a job), community projects the list is endless.
 Chin up and say hello to 2011

"It's quite comfortable"
see above. Oh and Merry Christmas for tomorrow, I don't know if anyone does this as well but I assume people do, do you stay up till 12 to open presents and be all festive? Well better go I'm rambling.

Voyeurism is back
I stopped doing self style shots for three posts, not much I know but still I don't know if anybody likes the photography I post. Here ya'll go! A picture from the middle of the year when brightly coloured watches were all the rage. Enjoy

Bernina Fashion Show/Awards 09

What I was wearing that night

Shirley Bakulich-Plastic Fanatastic Diva

Tessa Craven - Feather Graphic

Hayley Douglas - Ethereal Distinction

Aimee Cross - Bags To Riches

The Bernina Fashion Awards (I have no idea why they call it the awards it should be more like contest) took place at the Forum North Center in Whangarei, Northland, New Zealand. Those who are no familiar with New Zealand or Whangarei well New Zealand is a little country with a population bellow 4.7 million and Whangarei is a very little city with a booming 50,000 populace.

Talent in whangarei is not by all means small neither is New Zealand look at the designers like Karen Walker and WORLD and you'll get the idea their Crystal embellished jacket rivals any European Fashion House/Designer. Ill let the pictures do most of the talking

The originality of some is a bit questionable but mostly I haven't put them up because I would hate Whangarei to represented so mundanely (yeah so I'm a bias media outlet) ... sadly the one that I wanted to win ... did not

The overall Winners of this competition were

1st Fantasy Flower

2nd Bags to Riches (View Above)

3rd Feather Graphic (View Above)

Spending Time Laughing

Trixi
A friends birthday party. The theme alice in wonderland the same as our ball. It didn't really turn out like that in the end it was more or less grab some heels and have fun walking down a gravel driveway. I was taken away by these heels my friend Trixiebell was wearing . They were from my friends Nicola's wardrobe again. Nicola as people will know featured in my first ever street style section view here.

Trixi is a amazing source of inspiration her free spirit, her laugh and her fashion sense of course.
