Event: Anberlin 2014 Concert

I purchased a ticket back in July for the final Australian Anberlin tour. This was before the release of their final album. I have been a fan of Anberlin for a while (back in high school, just before Cities had been released) and with further encouragement from my sister, I decided to buy a ticket. After all, they're probably not going perform together again.

Along with Anberlin, The Getaway Plan and Breakaway were performing. While I've listened to The Getaway Plan before, I had never heard of Breakaway and they were actually pretty good. A lot of people were probably just there for Anberlin and for me, getting to see The Getaway Plan was a bonus (because I really like them too).

My ticket

It was held at the UNSW Roundhouse last week. Luckily I know my way around campus so I got in pretty early and left pretty quick. Before the performances, I managed to grab a T-shirt. It's probably the most expensive T-shirt I've ever bought but it's goddamn worth it for memorabilia.

T-shirt I bought

My "outfit" sans bag and coat.
Outfit:
Grey Cardigan - Forcast
T-Shirt - From Vietnam
Tank (underneath) - Wayne Cooper (bought from op shop)
Dark wash jeans - Neuw
{not shown}
Coat - Forever Ebony (boutique)
Bag - Baby the Stars Shine Bright

My Makeup
(I was testing NARS Sheer Glow Foundation, NARS Gina and Chanel Rouge Coco Shine in Monte Carlo. The foundation still looked good after all that sweating and water being showered onto my face)

Now, I stood very close to the stage and that was pretty much where the mosh pit was to be. Not so much of a mosh pit for the supporting acts but as soon as Anberlin were up, it became a whole lot of pushing and shoving while everyone's jumping around. It wasn't that violent and I'd say it was pretty tame compared to NYE celebrations in New York. I enjoyed the enthusiasm of those around me and overall, I had a pretty good time in the mosh pit. I also didn't mind shoving people back when the crowd shoves me one way. It's the only time I can do that without having to apologise. Will I ever participate in the mosh pit again? Maybe...

Breakaway

The Getaway Plan (sorry I didn't get any decent pictures)

Anberlin (I really like the different coloured lights in this one)

So the night just ended up with this:

No alcohol... just water the entire night.

Model: Ming Xi

Hello there! I thought I would make a post, seeing as it's a long weekend here in Australia and I probably won't be blogging for a while as things are going to get busier for me. Oh, and I've also started a beauty blog at: http://maquillagebythesea.blogspot.com/ Whether you want to read the beauty blog, it's really up to you. I thought it would be fun to write one, even though I'm still struggling to keep up with a fashion blog. I've been focusing on street fashion and alternative fashions so far, as well as mainstream trends, so I'll be writing about something different. I've been hiding under a rock and finally realised that there's a lot more Asian models now. I still think it consists predominantly of white females though. I was just searching on the net and I came across a model called Ming (Mengyao) Xi (also was known as Barbie Xi for a period of time) and I was stunned by her work.

Inspiration: Catherine Deneuve - The Hunger

The Hunger (1983) is the last film collaboration Catherine Deneuve had with Yves Saint Laurent. 80s fashion suited the thousand-year-old Egyptian vampire, Miriam -- accessories were bold and flashy, the shoulder pads making one seem more confident and powerful. In fact, every time I use my YSL lipstick, I'm reminded of this movie -- something about YSL and the flashy gold packaging makes me recall this film. This vampire movie had its flaws but I will acknowledge that it was beautiful, aesthetically speaking. My favourite shots Here are the highlights of the outfits: First outfit: Possibly jumpsuit with belt, 80s Cat Eye glasses, drop earrings, leather gloves with eyelets Very minimalist here with a navy blazer and white shirt. Love the raspberry lip. Flashy gold earrings here. Veiled hat, large stud earrings, white coat and a lizard brooch (love that detail; I believe in Ancient Egypt, lizards symbolise divine wisdom) Perhaps my favourite dress. A dro...

Inspiration: Catherine Deneuve in 'Belle de Jour'

Catherine Deneuve is one of many style icons I look up to, right up there with Audrey Hepburn. She's classy but seemingly has an aura of mystery and ice. For me, she's the quintessential French woman. Belle de Jour (1967) is perhaps one of my favourite movies and it is the first of her works I had seen. Yves Saint Laurent designed the costumes for her character in this film and from this collaboration, she became one of his muses and modelled for him. Catherine Deneuve plays Séverine Serizy, a wealthy housewife who's unable to be intimate with her husband. She becomes a prostitute in a high-class brothel and is called "Belle de Jour" there because she only works during the day. One of the many items I loved were the coats. They were tailored to her body perfectly and I particularly liked the military inspired coats and jackets she wore. I also loved the black pill hat. I adore her shoes. The chunky kitten heel definitely gives off an ...
