The Inaugural instalment of: LOOKEY LIKEY!

I’m really too lazy and busy to do individual posts, so I’m gonna just give y’all a list of random shit I’ve been LOOKING at and LIKING, hence the amazing name for it LOOKEY LIKEY! Spitting gold here people, I honestly don’t know why I’m not a hot-shot copy writer at an international agency right now, giving tutorials at conferences on how to be a mad cunt on 200k a year. But to be honest, I kinda ripped this idea of Fat Aus haha, and you should totally read her lists because they’re awesome. But mine will be also. This isn’t a competition people!

It’s been a minute!

HELLO! I'm back! So sorry for the lack of posts. Hella busy and devo about being home and been drunk heaps. You know, the usual. I have a billion awesome pics via PJ, he's become quite the snapper, but he's also quite the withholder of knowledge and general 'stuff' and has thus not given them to me, so I'm gonna have to do a really quick shit mini recap via iphone pics until he becomes forthcoming with the good shit.

I've kinda got to that point where I'm sick of talking about my trip, but I can say it was FUCKING AWESOME. I had the best time ever. It was such a hardcore bummer coming home I have to say but it seems as though I'm finally back into the swing of things. Like I said, I'll do a proper recap at some stage and go into details but here's some shitty ones...

Oh LA. This was the first day I arrived, rooftop magheritas and a happiness so pure it verged on arrogance. We sent this pic to our co-workers the moment we arrived. Please note  I was not wearing a midriff, just hiking it up for tanning purposes haha. LOOK AT THAT SKY.

Ahhhh magheritas. On about my 5th. When I wasn't drinking in LA I was....

Jolly Rancher

I'm not gonna front. I'm a big Tony Bianco fan. I pick up half the shoes I own at the clearance store down the road and their proper instore ranges are pretty killer but always under 200 bucks. Sorry not at the stage where I'm dropping 400 on shoes just yet... or anything for that matter. I get their emails and my jaw just about hit the floor when I saw some of their new styles. I am 100% behind this new colour blocking trend and can hardly wait for summer to kick in so I can go rainbow brite on your asses FINALLY. Check the amazing new styles below and cop them all here.

Suede and colour is double points. Way more after the jump....

This time next week…

I'LL BE IN CALIFORNIA BITCHES! And damnit I wish I was wearing this outfit and had taken my work out plan more seriously. Stressing hard about getting into a bikini but nothing to do about it but tan (and man) the fuck up I guess. Eeeeeeek. P.S I totally forgot about how amazing this chloe top was. Holy shit! Just saw that one was on ebay, boooo. I'd kill for this top.

10 Tips for the New Girl

Melbourne is experiencing a bit of an influx of late with a lot of new interstaters, which I for one am quite happy about since the Melbourne MASS EXODUS 2 years ago. Seriously, what the fuck was that? That was SHIT.

It's nice also because it makes me feel like I'm not the new girl anymore which is cool after 3 and half years, but as every born-and-bred Melbournite will let you know the instant you start to call Melbourne home as an interstater, it takes a lot more than finally buying a decent jacket to claim Melbourne as your own. A few peeps have been saying in passing "You must know how it is to move to a new state" or "you've been the new girl" and yes, yes I have. So my friends and countrymen, I shall pass on some of my wisdom because *this is where I begin to mount my high horse simultaneously as a sad violin tune starts to play* I moved here not knowing a single damn soul. No twitter back then my friends (well maybe there was but no one used it) fuck all blogs too, I had to set up the friendship shop from absolute scratch. I went to movies by myself on the weekend because I didn't know fucking anyone. Haha. It was so shit. Luckily a dude at work's gf at the time took me under her wing but yeah it was a mega hard slog and you learn a lot through that kinda shit. So let me pass on some gems… gather round children…. here are some tips for moving to melbs as the new girl....

Happy Snaps

Heyo. Well I promised more snaps from the Weiland basement and now I deliver. Who doesn't love old photos? I love them. Even when they're not your family and you don't know them, everyone just looked radder in the old days. My dad sent me through a disc of some mad old photos of his fam and they're cute as hell...

HOW FUCKING CUTE WAS MY DAD AS A BABY!!! What I wouldn't do for a half Japanese baby. I almost hope PJ is sterile so I'll have to get a sperm donor and for damn sure I'm requesting a Japanese dudes. Haha

Wedding Feverrrr

Well it's just over a month out from Hayle's wedding and I think I've become one of those crazy birdesmaids who's obsessed with weddings on her behalf. Haha. I've never had a cause to be vaguely interested in weddings before so looking at dresses and shiz and wedding blogs has proved my fave hangover weekend activity. Cut to PJ sweating balls in the corner as he sees me open my 17th tab of wedding decorations. haha. No I'm not that bad. If I was disinterested, what kinda bridesmaid would I be? A shit one, that's what! Let's  have a look at some notable weddings through the years shall we....

Firstly, the wedding that started it all. Okay, maybe not all but at least my shit (me me me!) Here is a busted photo of my grandma and grandpa in a traditional shinto wedding. They did a western style one and a traditional Japanese one. I think it's so damn cute. Not sure how old they are but they look pretty young. I love how this Australian white dude is just rocking a kimono, shit must of been crazy back then. This would have been taken in around 1947 I think. My dad just sent me a bunch of scans of old pics, so I'll post some more later.

Oops, bought shit

Given my impending trip, I've really been trying not to buy shit of late. But given that my winter clothes suck and... I'm a girl, this hasn't gone quite as well as planned, but I've been okay. I figure if I break the seal I might as well vindicate it a little by making it content for the blog, so sit back and look at the shit I've bought lately. Some of this isn't even that new but hey, content is king people. Firstly I was in DIRE need of a winter jacket. Do you have any idea how hard it is to buy a decent jacket? SO hard. Not a big fan of the wool peacoat look, not a big fan of pretty much any jackets really to be honest. BUT I am now. Behold the above, best leather jacket ever. So buttery and soft, courtesy of my friend Mel's label Moon Child. She was selling off some samples and luckily they were my size. Also bought one in tan. Love both! Best purchase I've made clothes wise this year easily as I wear them so much and luckily winter has been pretty great (TOUCH WOOD) so I've been able to get away with wearing them alot, even though they're cropped. Nice to buy something unique too that not every damn chain store is selling. Read more
