blue shoes.

Not suede though. I know you’re as shattered as I am. Not bad for $15 though ey, they are actually booties with press studs all the way up the side so you can fold down the tops to reveal the black and white pattern of the lining. :O. I did it the other day but it was the day I was running late so didn’t take pics. My bad. I have outfit pics with these shoes but I really can’t be bothered resizing them to put up here right now, maybe after I come back. I really need to learn to shut up in these don’t I. I will try. Next time.
********************************************************************************************
while I’m here, and since I missed last week, songs for sunday;

I Kissed A Girl - Katy Perry

Violet Hill - Coldplay
Viva La Vida - Coldplay
Kids - MGMT
Mercy - Duffy
Distant Dreamer - Duffy
Oddly bored on my last night in melbourne, didn’t want to go out when I’m leaving at about 6am tomorrow. Got a sudoku book today from work so I am armed with good music and entertainment. Knitting and books already packed. Sorted. And its no longer a skiing holiday, it’s just a holiday during which I may ski a little. If I’m lucky. Little bit sad, but still exciting.
Nice to meet you anyway.

I got…

Even though I leave for a week in New Zealand I just went shopping. Oops. BUT I only spend $20 and I got a hat AND a pair of shoes!!! Pretty good deal. For any Melburnians, check out the revamp of Doncaster Westfield its AMAZING! And it’s not even finished yet, the dj’s [amongst others] isn’t open yet. That Store is a shop full of every brand of jeans anyone would be proud to say ‘they’re so-and-so’. Cheap Monday to True Religion, they’ve got it all. My sister bought some Dr. Denim skinnies, I’ve never even heard of them!!!

Aaaaaaanyway, heres the hat, shoes to follow. Hat - $5 from Just Jeans, on sale, tee from valleygirl [old]. Between outings yesterday, an outfit with the hat followed, pics will be up at some point.
 
Just so you ‘all’ know, I’m going to New Zealand for a week on monday so if I don’t post before then it’s unlikely I’ll post while I’m away. Internet access will be limited and sporadic and outfits will be repetitive. If anything amazing happens I’ll probably write about it anyway though lol. I’m off to put on some pics on http://www.chictopia.com/user/blog/s_s so feel free to have a look see, I’ll be picking which pics go where from now on. It’s a bit hard to put them up twice though I’ll do it occasionally. Seems I might actually be able to get a couple of comments over there too which is nice! So, nice to meet you anyway.
NOW PLAYING; I Kissed A Girl - Katy Perry. So damn infectious. Be ready for some lingering looks if you sing it in public though… :)

With FREEDOM comes Time For Fashion

Exams are OVER and I’m FAIRLY sure my eyes are about to fall out of my head. That’s partially because of hayfever and partially cause I forgot my glasses at my exam yesterday then had to study all arvo for my exam today and and and, you get it.

Most recent outfit pics are over at chictopia*. I’ll put them up here next time I’m really bored or something.
So Resort is a rather befuddling season fashion-wise to me and due to seasonal differences not relelvant now but what fashion is I suppose. Catching my eye so far? Jenni Kayne, Alexander Wang, BURBERRY and Balenciaga.
Is it just me or does Iekeliene Strange look like that chick from the movie centre stage? The prima ballerina, older, she dumped Cooper for the company director.
I’ll pick favs pics for ya’ll at some point but I can’t be bothered to do them all just now. I love the colours at burberry and the accessories of course. The pants at balanciaga, the shapes at jenni kayne. And what can one say about Alexander Wang. I’ll cover him now:
 
Kudos for the unexpected colour pops. But not particularly fond personally.
Takes a braver girl that I to wear white short shorts. But it looks hot as here, seen on Alana Zimmer. Other model is Regina Feoktistova. They are the only two models in these style.com pics. Odd, no? There is something so cool about A.Wang, though this isn’t my favourite collection from him. I’d totally wear that black dress though, my sister would just about die. I might go show her.
Nice to meet you anyway.

He felt that his whole life was some kind of dream, and he sometimes wondered whose it was and whether they were enjoying it.”

-Douglas Adams

I found this is my sensation and perception notes for psychology and thought it merited a blog post. Quite pondorous is it not?

sorry the first version of this post was all weird.

My hair smells nice.

And I met a nice boy the other night. I just felt the need to share. This is not a regular occurance.

New additions to my blogroll:

Flying Saucer - I found myself regularly clicking on her link when on my already favourited blogs. So I favourited her herself. Yay.

Susie Bubble - She’s still not my absolute favourite which is why I’ve waited this long but I do like to read her perspective on stuff so yes. *bookmark*

Childhood Flames - see reason for flying saucer.

As you can see the studying is going reeeeally well at the moment. Couldn’t tear me away.

I am in Serious Need of Socks.

Don’t worry not in general, I just mean right now. AND I realised I totally forgot it was sunday yesterday, hence no songs post. So I shall do it now and all will be forgiven right? I happen to know no ones actually viewed the blog so no one would’ve noticed if I hadn’t typed that just now… dammit! Oh well.

so, songs for sunday

mercy - duffy

chelsea dagger - the fratellis [something tells me this song is on an ad but its really annoying me cause i know got ma nuts from a hippy is the burberry one but my sister agrees with me. non-existent reader would you like to help? no? didn't think so]

heavyweight champion of the world - reverend and the makers [absolute love atm]

lemon tree - the cardigans

black & gold - sam sparrow

Well blow me down with a feather.

The jumpsuit trend. Not one I ever considered myself…considering. BUT if I were to do so [which face it I'm not but you know, for the sake of the blog and what not] it would be this one.

*sigh*

Mindlessly Avoiding Study

I gave in and joined chictopia. I’ve been reading Lulu’s Everybody is Ugly since before chictopia actually existed, its pretty cool and getting more attention than this wee blog atm from me. I really dislike having to re-format pics for this blog so you can find see more what I wore today’s there. Join up, friend me, I don’t bite. Unless you ask nicely.

stay chic.

It’s purple and it has flowers.

I’m wearing;
- purple floral dress from valleygirl. [this is the dress I've meant to post here more than once, here it is!]
- cream vest from dotti. one of the buttons replaced.
- black tights
- cream canvas lace ups from kmart
The cheapness of this outfit is simultaneously extremely painful and really exciting [for my bank account].

BUTTONS!!!

“excited squeal”!!!!!

So exciting. I don’t think I ever showed you my button hair slides but we’ve moved on, now, we do RINGS. How exciting.

The rings are from a joint called Buttons and Beads Galore or something along those lines, [High st Prahran for Melbournites, near the corner with Chapel] which is a treasure trove though the buttons are RATHER EXPENSIVE. Most of my buttons are from good ol’ Lincraft or Darn Cheap Fabrics and yes. I’m rather pleased with the results. A white apple and a large black one with gold trim coming soon.

WHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

My love for buttons is catching up with my love for cupcakes. Yeah thats right, I said it.
