Samantha Oehley is a 20 year old undergraduate at the Wanganui School of Design in New Zealand. Her interests include the 1960s and 1910s, the Beatles, politics, reading, music and drawing. She has a thing for Priests and Authority figures, and has the habit of always exaggerating things to a more dramatic scale On Saturday I went to the biggest Christian music festival in the southern hemisphere, Parachute with some of my friends from Wanganui. It happens to be held in my city so they came up and stayed at my place before tenting out at the festival. All I can say is that it was amazing. I managed to see Switchfoot, Family Force 5, Lee Land, Rapture Ruckus and Nathan King and they were all fantastic!
Here’s my day pass band, they used white ink on metallic material, [which happens to be quite expensive] and note the new Parachute logo rockin’ that Helvetica!
Funnily enough I didn’t buy any Christian-related merchandise (although I intended to). Instead, I bumped into an old school peer who was helping out at a stall (and who had played with her band at Parachute the night before), and I spotted a series of handmade necklaces based on the Robinson Crusoe Series. They were simply divine so I had to share the one I bought with you:
I’m loving the label design
They are all hand made completely and each were based on a certain chapter from the book. I would supply her email (or website if I knew), however the one I got didn’t work, which is a shame. I’ll definitely post it up once I find out.
Anyway, so today I got a
And bought myself a new belt!
Unfortunately, the belt is too big and doesn’t look so great on me (though neither does Obama on my t-shirt :P)
Exciting times! Hope you have a lovely February dear readers!

The wooden necklace is wicked. A simple idea but it looks real effective. The packaging for it is nice too. Glad you enjoyed the festival, sounded interesting.
The haircut looks fine to me, but I understand how hair straighteners make it look better and I also understand it costing more. Never mind. Now you won’t look like a hairy ape so there’s a pro for you.
Looking at the belt, I think you can make it smaller if you put one or two tucks in the back without looking dumb. If the snap end pleather is soft enough you might be able to completely conceal a fix-up job. You’re creative. Make it work.
