boo

just you know, swinging by to show off my new ruched leggings. I do not condone the whole leggings-as-pants thing, but if your arse is covered there a handy medium between jeans and tights. Cause I’m way to poor to get black rats by sass n bide I picked these up for 40 large [still more than I would've like, such a cheapskate these days].

NEW BAG WOO. Yes those are zips.

Oh and yeah its that dress AGAIN, I’ll explain the problem I have with my wardrobe at some point.

Go ruching. I didn’t step on these all day, was just in a rush and hadnt put them on properly. Cya kids.

This post is NOT ABOUT THE BEATLES. It’s about me not wanting to choose subjects for next year. Don’t make me do it! Please!

Outfit from sometime, wearing some shit…

F*** it all man! This outfit isn’t ‘chic’ enough. Whatever, I like it.

Things I’m grateful for:

- New Kings of Leon CD. Thank god for friends who actually buy music.
- this editorial [i haven't seen it in real life, thank god for blogs such as camille's!] My sister would DIE, and I mean DIE for that yellow rose ring. There’s something indescribable about it but these sorts of things are what make me love fashion more and more every day.
- Weather that makes me smile. Just don’t let me get sunburnt, or too hot. Not a summer fan, but spring rocks my world.
- blog views. despite the deeply self indulgent nature of this blog, knowing that theres a chance other people are reading this makes me smile.
- assignments with a 2000 word equivalent. Fkn. A.
- new stuff. vintage finds coming soon

Things I’m not grateful for:

- Having my wallet stolen for the second time in 2 months, but this time it didn’t have any money in it. Just a necklace with two 18th gifts on it including a tiffany ring all my friends got together to buy me. Almost cried.
- Friends who put in no effort but are awesome and fun when we’re together
- Friends who are selfish and think the world revolves around them and need to grow up. [These 2 are about different people]
- Chemistry. Nuff said.

Other things I’m happy about:

- this blog letting me say whatever the hell I want to say with no repercussions in my non-virtual life.
- this outfit:

dress/top by mink pink
jumper dress by target, from savers
vintage belt and sunnies
bag by red berry
shoes from topshop.com [now available in purple *gulp*]

s is…

a) really cold  
b) quite tired
c) not enjoying being back at uni
and
d) deciding if her chemistry practical demonstrator looked better before he cut his hair, or now.

These are deep and extremely important observations and insights into my life and psyche. Feel honoured to be sharing in them.

 So this outfit cost me about $65.
The shoes, were a gift from my sister.
The belt and bag are both from op shops, my guess would be Savers, and the bag is technically, my sisters, therefore, also free.
The top/dress [unsure lengthwise, though in summer it will probably be ok] and the pants were $30 each!!!

My excitement knows no bounds.

Mostly because the pants were $140 full price. And I love them.
Perhaps not the most flattering pants I could own, as you would’ve seen in the other photo I have which wouldn’t upload. But just think of that as something to look forward to. Cause its 12.24am and well past my bedtime I’m telling you!

blog.com formatter go die, it got so much better recently, new bells and whistles, but it remains that my posts look Nothing Like What They Look Like In The Editor. Which in my opinion, is a BIT OF A FLAW. Maybe I should change background or something, variety is the spice of life after all.

For interested parties, I think the answer to d is before, but all is well, hair grows back.

I’m lazy…

So heres a few things my camera threw up recently that I’ve been too CRAP to upload…

Here we have friday, work and shopping [left] and thursday night, out. Behold a 3am photo shoot. Eugh.
Left: kmart shoes, ? jeans, vintage cardi & bag, lollipop top
Right: zu shoes, ? tights [now ruined], mink pink skirt, effigy & supre[worn underneath] tops.

Here we have thursday day [left] and last friday, both to work.
Left: shoes I love Billy [retired, overworn = ouch], vintage skirt, belt & bag, shirt by Hello Gorgeous
Right: Sachi boots, mink pink skirt, vintage bag and belt, kmart tee.

Went to a bar for my friends bday a few weeks ago, I edited this as such to try and show the two tops I’m wearing, the wet look one has already popped up in this post, here I put a black lacy sheer number on top, I actually bought them together. Yeah they’re both supre, oh the shame! Lol, na I like em, and they were cheap. Meh.

Another uni outfit from awhile ago, Bardot cardi, jumper dress thing worn as a top vintage target [I know!], vintage belt, mink pink skirt aka the skirt that will not die. But I’m ok with that, it just goes with everything!

A few other pics failed me so I’ll end it here, I’ve been updating chictopia a bit more regularly but most of these are fairly recent as I’m halfway through holidays therefore less likely to be running out the door to get a train and more likely to actually like what I’m wearing. Also went shopping the other day. Fun was had, new things were found, I’ll try and post when I wear them :).

Alrighty, I’m outie.

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.

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].

I could’ve dragged this out.

But I didn’t so here is one massive post made up of lots of little tid bits from my day.

********************************************************************************************

Wish and you shall receive! There are several cd’s I want at the moment but how excited was I when my mum brought home one of them today*.

Summer at Eureka is Pete Murray’s new one and so far I love You Pick Me Up [single], Chance To Say Goodbye [track 1] and Happy Ground [11 - last].
Funny that I like the first and the last. Good track arranging Pete ol’ boy. Good times are afoot people. update: I also like 6; Sugar.

I included this cause I couldn’t find one of the album
and I couldn’t be bothered taking my own.

That, and its just a cool photo.

*******************************************************************************************

OH and I FOUND MY CAMERA. How exciting. Funnily enough taking pics for this wee blog is not its only use so I am quite ecstatic to have found it. Excellent timing though cause I’m now on swot vac and thus am only leaving the house for work or short unplanned outings. Thus outfit posting will probably be minimal. But you weren’t expecting anything better were you. Today, for example I left the house in my year 12 rugby jumper from school. I know, I was shocked too.
*******************************************************************************************
Currently in the process of painting my nails a sad thing has caught my attention. My favourite nail polish is almost dead. It is a sad day. I think this is the second nail polish I’ve ever actually finished in my life. Its only about 4 months old!. Maybe 5. But still. You know why, its cause its recently become my sisters favourite nail polish too. RUDE. Maybe she should buy the next one. Or if I get a darker one she won’t wear it. I want a darker one anyway really. Yay, problem solved. Not that I can afford ANYTHING these days but OH WELL I’ll just put it on the to get list thats not getting any shorter any time soon.
*******************************************************************************************
Today I…
* knitted till my wrist hurt! Old injury, new aggravation. Damnit!
* did a surprising amount of chemistry revision. I’m the worlds worst studier did I mention? I impressed myself today :).
* made more button rings, my sister got more rings yay, I’ll take pics on my newly found camera soon, my nails are half done atm would NOT be cute.
*******************************************************************************************

RIP YSL @ 71 :(
