Frivolity!

A wee snippet of the amazing dress I just bought of Etsy, to reward myself for studying so hard for my last exam. Which is tomorrow. Ahhhh!

Dandelion fields

This weekend was meant to be a big one. Logan and I had plans to get things done, go places, see people, and other out-of-the-ordinary things. Instead, we did the usual: nothing. On Sunday morning we made pancakes on the barbecue and ate them in the sun, then went for a wander through the fields of dandelions. Why are weeds always so pretty?

I tried on this dress last week on a thrifting adventure with Rachael, where she shouted me these $1 Clubmaster-esque sunglasses (thanks!). I didn't buy it, but it was on my mind all week, so I dragged Logan back to Emporium Vintage Boutique so I could get it! I love the print so much.My belt is thrifted and my shoes are from some little junk shop in Chinatown, in Sydney.

I think I've settled on my camera of choice!

The Olympus Pen E-P1! It's cute and functional and small and a really reasonable price. My mum used to shoot with an original Olympis Trip 35 too. Keepin' it in the family.

Guess I should get 'round to some study now. Whatevz.

Why does everyone say 'Hollo-ween'?

Excuse the bad quality picture of signature hands-on-hips squinty-eye-smile pose, I just wanted to show you all my flicky curly 70s hair! Also a sneak peek of this gorgeous 70s dress.

I dressed up as Stevie Nicks for halloween (surprise!) but I didn't wear this dress. I ended up in a purple witchy tie-dyed dress but instead of a party like was planned, I went to my boyfriend's house and we watched movies instead.

I wish I'd taken photos, because I had wonderful purple dark eye make-up that made me look like I'd been punched in the eye!

But once a year

)Now that the ads are on TV, it's official. Christmas is coming. And even though the pressure of buying and making good presents for people crushes my spirit a ton and sends me into hyper panic stress overdrive, I'm still sort of really excited.

Not so much because of Christmas, but the end of the university year (in five days hell yeah) means the start of full-time work. Which means the start of a comparatively massive income for me. Which means freedom to waste my money on crap that I don't need, but think is super cute.

My wishlist, as of late, is lengthy and embarrassing:


Lilac goldenponies oxfords


Meadowlark serpent bow necklace


Blue Ribbon slim camera. Because if there's one thing I need, it's more cameras!


The Japanese dress-pattern book I have read so much about and am desperate to get my hands on!


Fifi Lapin brooch



Fruit print dress (don't beat me to this guys! please!)


Illuminated moon

Wolf ring

And a nice, cheap apartment in the city with big windows and a little garden. Har har.

I'm off thrifting now, re-hashing this outfit from a long-ago adventure:


Vintage thrifted 70s dress ($2!), Zara cardigan, scarf that I knitted and black second-hand Chucks.

Platforms, velvet & laces oh my!

To anyone out there living in New Zealand I'm selling these gorgeous (too small) boots on Trademe!

I'm selling these to buy some like THIS:

Jeffrey Campbell, god of wonderful shoes.

Or these amazing 70s platform boots! From etsy.

Velvet Doc Martens! $380 from Ruby Boutique, so in love.

Kurt Geiger velvet wedges!

Floral platform heels (but in black)! $160 from Street Legal.

It's my birthday in less than a month so who knows if one of these pairs will be on my feet sometime soon...
