wishy washy

Ok, so i'm not really one to wear those crazy out-there outfits. The ones that look like you've put on everything lying on your floor and walked out the door. You know the ones that are so crazy but somehow manage to look really cool. Alot like Queen Michelle and the fashion void that is DC. Well anyways. This is my first try.

And the purpose of these photos? mainly just displaying the $1 tweed jacket i picked up from Vinnies the other day, and the skirt i made yesterday out of calico i tie-dyed and intended to put on my wall, but never did.

I hope everyone has an EXCELLENT Christmas. Enjoy the boxing day sales!
Myself, i'll be off for a week in the sunshine on the Sunshine Coast. Back on the 3rd or 4th on Jan. Have a great New Year aswell.

And when i'm back I'LL BE 16, because you know what, i'm a new years baby. So i enjoy new years parties, and pretending that everyone is celebrating my birthday instead of the new year. It's a pretty sweet deal.

Happy blogging!!

Tannenbaum, wie schön sind deine Blätte

my Christmas tree is really funny this year. Because we are going to the beach on boxing day, so we didn't want to buy a tree because we would hardly be there for it, and my parents hate fake trees. So, we pulled in a plant in a pot from the garden and used that! It's a pretty epic tree.

Christmas in 2 days. weehoo. mum's trying to go all french with the food, because we are having french relatives over.
As much as i think it's tacky, I'm going to dress in Christmas colours for a laugh.

We found a bag full of knitted santa's in our drawers the other day. They're from my great aunt, she gave them to us in about July. At the time i thought it was kinda weird, but hey, they've made the tree a bit more interesting!




Hope everyone's getting into the Holiday spirit!

you've got him wrapped in cotton badding

I'm watching that Genie in a bottle TV show. I don't actually know what it's called, but hey it's funny. And the hair is so perfect it's ridiculous.
Today I'm going op shopping with some friends i haven't seen in a wwwhillleee. We are going to try and hunt down some new places. And i scabbed $20 of my dad, and so hopefully he won't ask for change.

My camera is so retarded, some times the flash goes crazy and other times it doesn't really work at all.

Exhibit A: normal-ish


Exhibit B: a bit to enthusiastic

It's christmas eve-eve-eve!!!

dynamic solutions

i did NOTHING today. slept, pretty much the whole day. so when mum asked me to go pick up a few bags from myer parcel pick-up, hey that was my chance to actually wear something. and then we went and shared a mini lemon meringue and bought food. she's making sweet and sour pork tonight! which is a very big step for mumsies, venturing into interesting flavours!

weehoo

i've surrendered

to the air-con. when i heard on the radio it was going to be 37 degrees, well that was it. pretty much can't handle that. sooo 23 degrees on the air-con will do me just fine :)

so this is my acid wash attempt. it's just a piece of stretch denim. i don't actually have any idea what i'm going to make with it. suggestions?


i was trawling through my 'inspiration' folder. and inside my 'inspiration' folder is a 'wow' folder, full of 'wow' photos that can only be described as 'wow'. and emma watson for vogue italia (months ago, i know) is pretty wow.






i am craving harry potter so badly now.
oh man, marielle, i just realised you posted about emma watson just like last week, soz bebz.

ciao

let's get it started

I wish i still owned that dress, or something alot like that dress.
And these leggings



I made feather earrings yesterday



Feather shopping is so much fun. Theres like a bijillion different ones to choose from. First you choose which kind of bird you want, and then out of all the colours. It really is quite a serious business haha

And currently i am eating a salmon and salad sandwich, and listening to Norah Jones.

I just ate frozen grapes, a bit odd, but they were enjoyable. I'm going running.

*edit* i forgot to say what i'm wearing. shirt-olllddd one mum made yonks ago (by yonks i mean before i was born), skirt-thrifted dress turned skirt, scarf-west end markets (brisbane), butterfly-from inside my wardrobe.
just for you marizzle

lets start from the very beginning

a very good place to start

ava brought me these clips and brooch back from Germany. I love felt



This is what i wore yesterday. It was extremely uncomfortably hot weather yesterday. I am so keen for autumn. In 3 months.




(shirt-tommy hilfiger, shorts-handmade, belt-sportsgirl, necklaces-sportsgirl, diva and somewhere in nz)


I feel like an idiot taking 'serious' outfit shots. It's something i need to work on.
Oh no i need to go check on an acid washing attempt

Ciao!

i lost my poor meatball, when somebody sneezed.

i bought these really colourful pins. and i'm really just into looking at the colours, and doing not much more with them


I'm seeing twilight today! How exciting, I'm quite looking forward to it. Although I haven't actually read the books, because i didn't want to fall into the Edward Cullen obsession, but I also dislike seeing movies before I've read the book version, so I'll just have to see how this goes.



Have a fun day

get your freaky on...

...or like me, you could spend your Saturday night helping your parents host a Christmas party. And retreating into a sanctuary that is your air-conned bedroom to play a civilized game of Monopoly with some civilized friends. Alls good fun.

I got drawing the other day...

ich will

At the moment i wish i was so many places, other than here. Sweltering and with the task of Cleaning the floors in front of me.


relaxing in the hay bales, 20 degrees cooler, with all kinds of ribbons and scarfs wrapped through my hair.



On the beach at dusk. Waiting for the storms to roll in before bolting home.
(Actually, i had to do that onnnnn Monday)



Or just on some tropical island, free from people and technology. With only my friends and amazing gowns for company.



(photos Vogue and Kookai)
Oh and I'll post photo of full length photo of dress next time i actually get up and can stand actually putting proper clothing on. As i am currently wearing a potato sack singlet (quite literally potato sack material but a bit softer) and shorts, commonly referred to as 'slut shorts' for their length. Not worth posting.

feel like some kinda guardian angel or something

haha... ghostwhisperers.... jennifer love hewitt... how lame

mum bought me a new dress on wednesday. it's for an awards dinner i have next Friday.



(dress- milk and honey, butterfly[in hair]- discovery from inside my wardrobe)
Today I'm just doing nothing at home. Preparing myself for a vaccination this afternoon. Watching the Australian Open (golf, not tennis). It's riveting stuff :)

happy birthday marielle

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MARIZZZLEEE
go wish her some birthday cheer

I had an interesting weekend. Went to Bundaberg, which is about 300km north of Brisbane. It was, as is everything in my life these days, for rowing. And it was unbelievably hot. 38 degrees (Celsius)infact was how hot it was one of the regatta days. And i had to race in that heat and ohh man, it was a mission.

So after the regatta, we spent a few days in Bundaberg. But thre's actually NOTHING to do there. And it rained aswell, which made it even worse. So we went to the Bundaberg Rum distillery, and the showed us how you make rum. But we had to wear under 18 passes, for when it came to the testing time haha. How disappointing.
This here is Alana outside it. Quite funny, we had to wear enclosed shoes, and all she had was runners BAHAHAHA


So the extent of my outfits has been shorts and tshirts and summer dresses, not very interesting. And this is about as good as my outfits got...





Oh! and results from op shopping on Thursday. Bought the sickest high waisted skinny jeans, in a washed out light denim colour. But what makes the really wicked is the LACE PANELS in the sides by the pockets and ankles. These photos don't really do them justice, as most photos, and i can't bear the thought of putting them on in this heat. But they'll be on constant rotation in a few months, or more like 6 months, i expect.



(excuse my bed)

CIAO!
