past few weeks

Photobucket

ok, I'm ultra slack. But lately, it's been really hot to wear anything worth posting (except friday night i made and effort, but hey, too late now), and I've just been gathering up all my inspiration for now. This the my pick of the month of November.

Firstly, red shoes. I have a thing for red shoes, and have been scouring the world wide web for them. I have to say it wasn't overly successful, but i did find a pair of Dorothy shoes that have definitely gotten me excited. Oh and Galliano did do a mean take on them aswell, above.

Next, these girls on garance dore got me really excited. Ultimate in simplistic, laid-back cool. And all that blonde hair really is amazing...

And finally, these cut-out leggings by A.F. Vandervorst, really have me excited. Might call for another DIY session in the near future.

Oh I've been shredding a few tshirts the last week. I have say it's time consuming, but rather relaxing. And also very satisfying when people point out 'uhh, you're shirt is really ripped'. Thanks bud, i didn't realise half the front of my shirt is torn. Haha.
Have a good holiday season!

i'm slack. this is post number 56 from like 6 months of blogging or something.
i've kinda been caught up in school finishing for the year, exam mode, training mode for a while, hence the sparse blogging.
these photos. a few weeks old. i can't even remember if i ended up wearing this out, but i've got a sneaking suspicion that it got to hot and i took tights and docs of and changed for gladiators. oh and i was also having a sped-face day, hence the croppage of my face in the photos. last photo is just supporting material.

stop on by

I just have 3. 'points' i want to make today. None of which are really all that important, or even interesting you could say, but hey.
Firstly: I really love this dress. It was at a stall at the Aotea Square Markets, in Auckland. And i took a photo of it because a) i didn't want to pay $90 for it and b) i want to make it, and need to remember it.
The back was a lot like a leotard, with a low scooped back, made out of that white material (but i didn't take a photo of the back because, well, it wasn't possible to take a photo of the back subtly, without attracting the attention of the girl manning the stall who didn't seem particularly friendly).

Secondly: Marielle and I are possibly the funniest people I know. Actually well, just this situation when we made this poster, representing the values and themes in the book Looking for Alibrandi, were we being particularly funny. I know no one understands it, but 'runs into giant eel', and 'wobbly boot' cracks me up everytime.
Photobucket


Thirdly: I've needed to clean my mirror for about a year now. And this photo made me realise how shockingly dirty it actually is. Oh dear.
Photobucket


Those are my thoughts for the day. Hope everyone has such an enlightening day as me.
