nice to meet you anyway

WOW are you as amazed as I am? Pretty simple outfit really but I decided to see if I could use the camera in my computer, its a mac so it has one built in and it kinda worked but all the natural light was from behind so I had to turn on the big fluro and yeah. Kinda worked though the lighting is crapola.

Welcome to my family room. I tried to make the light work for me but it really didn’t. You get the basic idea.

How long is my hair?! Major excitement. I got asked if I had extensions today. I decided to spin around to make it fly out, didn’t reeeeeally work. But it was fun.

and then I decided to tie my shoelace, and my sister called…

In these pics;
black long sleeved t sportsgirl
red jumper big w
grey cheap mondays
canvas lace ups k mart
scarf from shop near work
vintage belt

homemade/vintage jewellery
ps. how cool is the big ring, can’t really tell here its actually a button metallic red flecks, made it
myself, how crafty am I. I have 4 such rings now with more on the way, will show at some point.
pps. the writing on my left hand says chem pre lab, because I have to do mine. Funnily enough.
and the stamp says paid cause I went to a bbq today at uni and members got that stamp to get
FREE CHIPS AND BEER. But I couldn’t drink cause I had to drive. Sad. Oh well. Skipped 5.15pm
lecture today so hence the extra time to photo take in the middle of my house. Wheeeee.

UPDATE: I formatted this post properly and it looks nice in the editor bit, then I got check it and its all over the place but I can’t fix it easily so deal with it okay? OK. Oh and the sunnies are from a shop near my house and as far as I know don’t actually have a brand. All they say on the arms is ‘100% UV Protection’ [impossible? anyone? unsure] and on the other one, ‘8622F’. Not very helpful.

No my names not Lola. Or Charlie for that matter*.

In other news while waiting for the bus today** this sweet bike was chained to the pole with the timetable on it you know the one. Yeah. And cause I had nothing better to do I took piccys on my phone, some were zoomed and some not so I’ve standardised the size [gotta love photoshop] but please forgive any blurriness.

How cool would it be to ride up to uni on this. If only I lived that close to uni/owned said bike/could be bothered cycling to uni when its as cold and, as you can see, wet as it was today.

* Apologies to those who’ve got no idea what I mean, get some Lauren Child books IMMEDIATELY. They’ve kids books but they’re great.
** waiting for a bus that NEVER CAME I was not amazingly early to work as I thought I would be because I had to catch a tram to the train and eugh.

UPDATE in the what I wore today saga I seem to have created, I CAN’T FIND MY CAMERA. NO SHIT. *tears*. Anyway, today I wore a top from topshop my sister got me overseas, jeans by seduce, a jacket by bardot and HIGHLY INAPPROPRIATE FOOTWEAR. It had yet to rain properly when I left my house. Peep toe flats made of material are NOT wet weather shoes, believe me.

Spicy yellow duck curry with rice in a roti wrap, followed by bread and butter pudding with raspberries, made with coconut bread. What more could you want for dinner? Ask my stomach and it’ll tell you, not much. Really, I don’t think anything else would fit.

Today I rushed out the door thinking I should take a pic of my outfit when I get home, it’s quite blog worthy. Didn’t happen. I got home and I barely remember the next few hours. I know there was a couch, Gilmore Girls and tracksuit pants. At some point I managed to make a large coffee. There was lots of foam, thanks to the fantabulous coffee machine* my mum gave my dad for his 60th. This level of tiredness is unexplainable other than the fact its rather common [in steph land that is]. It also leads to a level of delirium that leads me to say some very bizarre things, often over msn. see: title. Yes I said that to my friend. I think he’s going to have me committed.

I’m busy with nothing at the moment so blogging is, as always, sporadic at best.

hello study.

I now have bona fide proof that a white blazer isn’t an utterly impractical and stupid purchase!!! WOO HOO. Well, it clearly is, BUT it is also potentially awesome and would allow me to look even a little bit like Lulu of the blog everybody is ugly which I stumbled upon and got an immediate this-is-going-to-be-one-of-my-favourite-blogs moment. I was right. Behold by clicking here.

Now the blazer I found a week or so ago was a bit diff, more dressy in that shiny fabric dress blazers are often made of. Its a discovery I made in Temt which is a chain store here in Aus which is generally crap but has the occasional good thing, you just have to sort through the piles of crap. Everything is under about $50 or $60 so thats pretty awesome. This blazer was originally, I dunno, $40 or $30 but is now $19.95!!!!!!! I KNOW. Another difference between my and Lulu’s blazers, HERS is Helmut Lang and $220USD, and MINE, apart from not being mine yet, is Temt and $19.95. *sigh*

I didn’t buy it. It was the impractical and stupid aspect that cause that. I am now regretting that choice. I might go back. It might not be there, it was on sale and if its not there I might cry. I took some crappy change room pics on my mobile which are, well, crappy mobile pics. [For all the Americans out there mobile=cell...why do you call it that, mobile makes way more sense] However I bluetoothed them to my computer but they are, as previously mentioned, crap.

Crap huh!? Cute blazer though. Hope its still there.

In this photo: [just in case][this just became an unintentional outfit post, score]
white blazer from Temt
purple blouse by Lovely Girl aka random brand sold in little asian-run [they're adorable, they know me] store near my house [also found for roughly double the price in Bardot about a month later, interesting ey!]
cream singlet from Kookai
jeans by Cheap Monday.
[I was on my way home from uni. Melbourne Central is just FAR TOO TEMPTING... haha get it, TEMTing.]

I just wrote a mini essay about an item of clothing I DON’T EVEN OWN. That’s sad. Oh and, those pics I said were coming of my friday night outfit. Yeah didn’t take any. Soz. Though I suppose its more a me soz thing than a you soz thing. I wore a thrifted dress, originally from target with a vintage belt of my mums, black opaques and gold nine west heels I bought for my year 12 formal that I love and don’t wear enough. They make me very tall.

PS: the reason I say they make me very tall is because I’m already quite tall so I really mean it. They are 10cm, I’m 174cm, that means 184cm, ie. taller than the average male. Fun times. Figured I needed to explain that comment as you [non-existent you] don’t actually know me!

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.

…in my Daily Style posts. You’ll be setting yourself up for disappointment.

  Dress by Mink Pink [LOVE this brand]
  Leggings by…face off. Dear god. Don’t hate me, I hate myself enough.
  Shoes by I love Billy.

  Hadn’t accessorised when I took the photo. My bad. Wore vintage chain round my wrist, ring
  from interstate and another from Etsy, and my clock necklace which is conveniently black and
  yellow. And here is a closer look at the shoes, cute no? They’ve streched a little but they’re
  material so somewhat expected.

  

And yesterday. And the day before. AND the day before that!! My dad borrowed [read: stole] my camera cable so I have a back log. I’m just impressed I’ve actually kept taking these photos, as completely crap as they are. So we begin with I think it was wednesday?
