Set The Tone.

I have been procrastinating about this blog for so long, having read all the advice of popular bloggers on how to start a blog and how to make it successful.

The main point that keep coming up was to decide on the tone of your blog and preset it clear and simple.

Well here’s the thing, this is not the blog that’s going to convince all my readers that I life a beautiful life with a home that comes from the pages of vogue and spend my day trying new trendy cafes and visiting all my designer friends (I wish!). I like many love fashion, design, art film and theatre and  I do aim to fill my life with beauty and well designed items (you should have seen me when I bought a broom, it has multicolored stripes if you were wondering), but I my aim for this space is to create a working representation of what is happening and what I am doing in my life.

Ok so for the unglamorous part of my story I have been suffering from depression for the past 3+ years, people are generally quite surprised by this as when meeting me I seem confident and overly happy (a very well practiced armor, I live under the guise of fake it till you make it). 

I am at this point not sure what else to say about this, but I feel as if it should be mentioned straight off the bat. Just know that this blog isn’t going to be about this journey, sure it’s part of my life it’s going to affect my decisions (sometimes) but I refuse to let it define me and my little corner of the internet.

Ok so lets talk a little bit about me I currently live in Newcastle, NSW Australia, having moved back after 6 years in Sydney (boarding school, then university). I will be moving again (I never stay in one place long although it is common for me to return) this time to the city of Melbourne for studies and the grow a little more as an independent person.

I am currently studying to become a theatre costume designer (starting 2015), which will be my third degree as I have a Bachelor of Visual Arts (Usyd) and a Diploma in Fashion design (College of Fashion).

Feel free to ask questions I’m happy to answer and will be as honest as I can but remember to ask politely.

My name is Amellia Elizabeth I am 24 and this is my blog.
