on ebay that is, deciding how much I’m willing to pay for this jacket I’m bidding on. I think I might have reached my limit.

JOKE TIME*:

There’s a man walking around pulling a piece of string behind him. A passer-by watches him for awhile, then decides to go up to him.
“Excuse me, why are you pulling that piece of string along?”
“Well, have you ever tried to push a piece of string?”

This says a lot about my sense of humour.

* this has never happened before on this blog, and will probably never happen again. Though anythings possible. I do know this joke about elephant powder… Maybe another time.

Prompted by Camille of the blog Childhood Flames, discovered through one of my favs, Fashion Toast. She [Camille] simultaneously makes me want to run to my room and experiment with outfits involving high heels and tights while holding her down and feeding her doughnuts. [not a typo, thats how we spell it here] Seriously, check out those legs. Yikes.

Also happen to think she’s suicidal for wearing heels, let alone those heels, to university or school or whatever it is she does [she's still a teenager, like...umm... oh yeah, me.] However, heading out tomorrow for a two part evening, the second part of which is country [read: bogan] themed. Don’t think I’ll dress up in that way, I may just dress up! I shall provide pics. Maybe.

I am also currently gripped by a sudden but not very compelling need to clean my desk. Really. Its a disaster zone. I can see a beer, a bag, my glasses, a hat, gloves a scarf and two pairs of sunnies. Yet practically nothing that actually belongs on my desk. I think I shall document this for you all. Yes I know this is boring for you. I don’t really care considering I use the term ‘you’ very loosely given I’m writing this to cyber space, not any specific individual. No offense if theres actually someone reading this though. Haha.

Second ones a close up shot. Just for kicks. I’m such a slob. When I uploaded these pics I found an outfit photo from when I worked…awhile ago, can’t remember. Anyway, it features the shirt I bought from Savers which I think I mentioned and, coincidentally, wore again today.

Shirt from Jacqui E via Savers
Jacket by some noname brand, can’t be bothered checking.
vintage belt
Jeans from MNG
Boots by Sachi. These boots have been very good to me, a tidy $100, I’ve worn and still wear them to bits. One of the few items I own that I see on other people regularly, especially the black ones. But I don’t really care, for once.
Ring from sister, bought in Barcelona. I think. It’s glass and AWESOME.

When you have a lil hot chocolate on a cool evening such as this one. If only summer would GO AWAY I could enjoy it even more snuggling up in my winter woolies. Makes me shiver just thinking about it, be gone hot weather!!!

Extremely thrilled to report that on Monday, Tuesday and Thursday of this week, one person visited this blog. YEE HAW.

Apart from that my life has been exceedingly dull, well, not for me. Uni life is f****** spectacular, the number of people I know has sky rocketed, I find myself with so many acquaintances whose company I enjoy but who I have to make next to no effort to see. I find this to be thoroughly enjoyable.

Found my Miffy t-shirt and thus am wearing it today, I hadn’t told you of its disappearance but it was a cause for serious concern. A Miffy t-shirt is a truly wonderful thing.

Currently at work, it is 5:51 here in Melbourne, I’m closing in exactly 9 minutes, so help any customer who gets between me and the door.

Blog of the Week: I couldnt possibly pick one, therefore we have a tie!!!

Daddy Likey: Winona is so painfully witty I only hope someone can get as much entertainment out of this blog one day as I get out of hers. My personal favourite is Inadvertently Ask Daddy Likey. Genius.

Fashion Toast: Rumi even has an ebay store where you can find some AWESOME vintage clothes she discovers and models with aplomb, awesome personal style.

5:57, must be off, hope to see you again soon, if not, nice to meet you anyway.

As you may or may not be aware, I have long blonde hair. I quite like the colour of it, especially in summer when it lightens up and I get these sweet natural highlights people pay big bucks for in salons. However, and I never thought I’d say this; right now, I wish I had brown hair.

I’m attending a superheroes and villains partay this wednesday night [gotta love uni holidays] and it would be REALLY EASY to go as Rogue from X-Men. But, putting grey streaks in blonde hair? Quite futile, at least if, like me, you try and do it with talcum powder. TOTALLY didn’t work. Might have a quick look for spray on silver or something…or could just go as Storm instead and pretend she has blonde hair…after all they did just wear all black. Leather. Which I won’t be, I looked for black lame leggings in Supre today but alas only found fluro yellow and pale pink. Truly shattered. No idea where else might have them. So I am now sad.

See, Stom’s hair is blonde in the comic, just not the movie!! Though my outfit isn’t really that similar, I’m over it, and so are you. And thats Rogue on the right clearly.

So, thanks goes to you, my non-existant reader, for helping me make this decision!

…I cannot be a regular blogger. My bad. However, deal with it cause something tells me theres not much I can do it.

A little quote, found on Starbucks and Jane Austen [starbucksandjane.blogspot.com]. I love this sort of stuff. *sigh*

This little leather jacket is on my to buy list for winter for SURE. Where is it from you might ask? Why this little boutique store known as Target, theres a few around, you might have heard of it…

Shocked? I was. Theres a similar jacket with a hood in Bardot [below] which I WANT [I know, your thinking Bardot?!!, so did I] but is $299 and yes its a leather jacket but I just cannot justify that at my age, on my income, while trying to save for a ski trip in July. This Target version is a slick $99. Yee haw.

The totally lust-worthy Bardot version. I may have to do an Ebay search to see if I can find one, on my last Savers mission I found one I liked, not really like these, more biker and very 80’s and just a little bit too big which is why I didn’t get it. So my search for a leather jacket for winter continues, I shall keep you updated.

Anyone else seeing the Amy Winehouse influence on the styling of this shoot btw? The other female model used had the exact same eyeliner as her, this models got the hair and similar heavy cat-like eye make-up. Interesting choice of muse, though I guess they look good. I guess.
Catch ya’ll later, if not, twas night to meet you anyway.

…smell really pretty. Especially together. I’ve mixed together these two essential oils but I have an issue that its an Extremely Potent Combination. Especially the peppermint, has a cooling effect on the skin. My issue is that I don’t know how to dilute it! I can’t use water for obvious reasons and any other oil will have its own scent. Tis a small problem. Smells sooooo good though.

In other news, discovered another new blog today, Fashionologie has great little reviews of THE fashion shows, though I read the whole page in about 10 minutes so its fleeting entertainment.
Also, visit the also-newly-discovered-though-not-as-new Starbucks and Jane Austen tis quite the fun. Love her article of the Vogue Paris girls, they do fashion like no other. Probably why their the Vogue Paris girls isn’t it. Ya.

Download Cold War Kids. Now. Modern Indie rock, love it!

In a completely different genre, The Bird and The Bee. I love Again & Again, Fucking Boyfriend and I Hate Camera. I guess you would call it indie pop, iTunes labels it indie but I have a beyonce knowles song that says its classical. So I wouldn’t put too much faith in that. Not really sure. BUT its great.

My older sister got home from overseas today, she’s been gone for two months so yay, presents were lovely also :). She’s currently sleeping off the jet lag.

Well, thats all for now, I start uni tomorrow so I’ll try and post but I may be tired/dying/extremely busy, so I’m not promising anything. But then, who am I talking to? And, if there is someone reading this, I basically told you don’t expect new posts this week! Well, despite no doubt chasing away the [most likely non-existent] readers if this blog, twas nice to meet you anyway.
