hey hey it's yesterday

i think i already said it, but last saturday, i went into paddington to check out a few op shops. didn't really expect to find very much, and had no idea what i was looking for, but maybe thats the best tactic to op shopping, that way you're never disappointed!

quick stop

I'm going to Maroochydore for 2 days tomorrow. I have some intensive rowing camp. Fun!
Catch up on Wednesday

some style is legendary

today, once again, i was in my ever-inspired creative mood. and i felt like making another skirt. so i got some old rag-tag pieces of material, put a couple stitches here and there and ta-da! a new skirt. quite a fairy-princess vibe happening.
and instead of just take a photo, i was inspired by the 'some style is legendary' advertising Tiffany & Co are doing at the moment. in particularly, with Lily Cole and all the necklaces and head pieces etc. that she dons.

ich liebe meine Schuhe

So i've been having a bit of an extreme creative streak lately.
I've made 3 skirts, 1 top and dyed 2 pairs of shoes within the last 2 weeks. So i thought i would share my latest shoes creations.
I started off with a pair of $12.99 Kmart shoes, and shoe dye, and ended up with some weird rainbow-connection thing happening!





And my friends flew out to Germany last night. It was sad, but they are going to have a brilliant time and send me so many good clothes, that will compensate!
Ciao!

Mooloolooloolooloolaba

I've realised this has turned more into a look at what i did today, look at what i think is cool blog. Which i guess is fair enough, and sort of follows the clothes bandwagon, because all i find cool, and pretty much everything i do revolves around shopping and fashion. Enough blubbering. About a week ago Ella, Marielle, Sai, Marni and I decided we deserved the day off school, and went to Mooloolaba for the day.
Unfortunately we picked a pretty dodge day in terms of weather, and sun factor, but nonetheless we had heaps of fun, and turned it into more of a let's-take-hundreds-of-photos-like-tourists kind of day and it was good.

chilling with statue of Steve, Bindi and Bob Irwin.


evidence of wind factor


ella emancipated


trying to take a serious photo as a joke. But then the joke fully took over and seriousness was lost.


exxcellent weather


hahahaha. sai and i being douchebags


oh, and also today i bought the VS Sassoon Goddess straightener. its cool. it straightens my whole head in about a quarter of the time my old straightener did. i'm happy.
have a good day everyone!

BACK

although i'm pretty sure i never said it, i went away to Rockhampton. Yeah, don't get to jealous you all couldn't be with me in the beef capital of Australia. Anyhowzies it was for rowing, and nowzies i'm backzies.
I have to say, I am still EXTREMELY exciting about seeing those MiuMiu shoes in DavidJones and to cure my excitement, here is the actual evidence:

SMILE!


well today was a very happy day. i went into the city to find a hat for states on the weekend, and allergy drops for Ella. so we roamed around looking like tourists, with our map out trying to find our way to wickham terrace, which we did after a while, and then we dropped in david jones for a bit of a browse. so the new david jones is as close to designer clothes as we will probably ever get, so we were just soaking up the amazing-ness of all the designer shoes in particular. and as we were browsing the miumiu section, guess which shoes we saw.
none other than.
the flower-carved-wooden-heeled heels, as previously posted about
man oh man, when i saw these shoes, my heart started racing. they are even more amazing in real life.
and at only $755, i'm hoping to go halves with my parents for my birthday.
haha.

hi there

i am bursting with excitement. today i went shopping with mummy. not expecting too much. well not expecting to get anything at all really. so mum and i hunted around, bought a mossimo bra etc. etc. then we kinda browsed around myer for a bit (ohhh myer i know and stumbled across the Hi There diffusion collection Karen Walker made for myer. And all because Karen Walker is a kiwi i suspect, my mum started raving about how she knew i'd love the clothes and how she wanted to get me somethings from it (she doesn't enjoy it when i don't wear 'normal' clothes). And so we found this SWEet skirt, it was love at first sight, and she bought it for me. And i didn't even have to beg/grovel for it. She actually offered.
And because a. the usual story of me not being able to find the camera
and
b. Karen Walkers site is in the Adobe Flash Player thing
I cant post a picture up here.
but heres the link and its the high-waisted, taupe skirt, with the blue and red stripe belt with the bow.
So i thought I'd continue the trend with some favourites from Karen's Autumn/Winter collection, for those spending the next few months in the northern hemisphere.


yes i know they are the coolest acid wash jeans you have ever seen

ohh and i bought the fringe bag!

i love the 90s

I know I'm not fully entitled to may big statements on 90s fashions, seeing as i was only around for what? 7 years of it, and about 4 of those i can hardly remember.
But 6-year-olds can still watch TV, so what i do remember, is deeply inprinted. And I've noticed a bit more hype lately on fashion that was the 90s, so why not discuss what i remember as a snotty little kid?

Well, firstly, Full House. Yes, it was my favourite show for a number of years. And jsut last night, i was youtubing some my the favourite 'puh-lease' and 'i don't think so mister' moments, ala Michelle Tanner.
Anyways, the clothes. One word from my memory to describe the clothes, would be bright. Oh and cropped. I remember a lot of cropped singlets, and i think S-Club-7 wore them to their death.
Bright t-shirts, big flowery/surfer pattern cotton shorts, subflower of straw hats etc. Classic.

And the jeans. I can only remember wearing jeans with big flowery-motifs down the sides of them, but I do have the faintest memory of my mum rocking the jeans more like this. And my memory must be right because i pulled out an old pair of hers, form the bottom of her closet about a month or two ago.

And sure, there was the huge grunge look that happened in the 90s. But my favourite part?
The daggy-ness.

And even the SATC girls didn't always get it right, although somehow, they still have an effortless-chicness about them.


Ciao!

Red Booties, Lace Collars and Everything Inbetween.

Firstly, I have to say, I wish all you children going into winter happy times, rugging up in layers upon layers of clothing, to defend against the cold, but somehow still stay stylish and individual. I, on the other hand, am greatly looking forward to soaking up the sun's rays, riding around on my cruiser (which is arriving at the end on September) ala The Cherry Blossom Girl.


In other news. Lace Collars: completely and utterly entranced by them. Aren't they just so perfect? And the take Elinkan made, reminds me of lemon sorbet, and maids and sailors all in one. And quite suprisingly (although it is often the highlight of my Wednesday afternoons), Brisbanenews also featured a lace collars in their fashion spread- not in the same amazing-ness, but kudos for giving it a go.


And Red Booties. Actually not only red booties, but all kinds of red shoes, are high on my radar at the moment. They are such statement pieces, and every time i see some bold individual wearing them, i get really excited. And when i see them an amazing and mildly affordable pair in the shops i get even more excited.
So those of you with a worn-down, distressed pair of red shoes, just sitting there, neglected, in your closet (Marielle), pulling them out and wearing once, if only once, would make my day!


p.s. what do you think about the bag i was considering in the last post? i really like it, but i don't know if it has a bit too much of a little girl vibe going?

i wanna be next to you

my AA clothes arrived!!!
they are soo amazing and comfortable and i think i will live in the allll summer.
if summer actually arrives.

and THIS will be my next summer purchase.
yes its a fringe bag. i like it because its got the whole over the body, long strap happening, and it's not from Sportsgirl, so the whole of australia wouldnt have seen it.

thats was just a quickie, nothing too exciting.
i'm off to check the dr marten shops in the Valley nooowww
ciao!
