9 is the magic number!

Noodle and I had our very first proper date and smooch 9 years ago today… Here’s a few from the vault!

BAHAHAHAHAHA.. look at Noodle’s curly do, and mine for that matter… plus bootleg jeans and shell toes… We had some serious steeze, right?! This is probably not long after we first started dating.

Awwww jeez Louise… A lovely day at the Byron bay Blues Fest, yes I am wearing a hippie head band, yes we have matching lip piercings, what of it? A year in people… so fresh faced, so cute.

What I wore to eat an entire packet of Pods…

… and some of Noodle’s maltesers… this was me from work then to a movie last night. Wearing a pink beret from ebay, a crap load of makeup, shoes from ASOS, second hand stone wash AWOL jacket (a personal fave) and a really cute dress from a shop off Bricklane in London that I don’t remember the name of. I call it my Jackson Pollock dress, it’s covered in paint splats and has this awesomely massive ruffle down the front, I love ruffles. It also has my favourite feature of any dress… POCKETS… I love the comforting feeling of slipping your hands into pockets, meanwhile the receptionist at work asked me if it was a top or a dress.. what a prude! Noods and I had a date night last night and went and saw Inception after work, it was so romantic as we stuffed our faces with supermarket bought treats and complained that we felt like we were going to die (but continued to stuff chocolate in) I really enjoyed the movie but man has Leo got that weird middle age face spread thing going on.. his face is sooo wide, it’s so weird how some dudes faces do that.

Al Farrow is a sculptor based in the San Francisco Bay Area. His work in general is pretty dark but this Reliquaries series is especially powerful.

One Jacket. 2 Ways.

God I hate magazine fashion talk… like “Here’s a skirt, let us show you how to wear it 5 different ways… like maybe with a belt, maybe with a singlet top and a necklace, etc, etc…” We get it people, it’s called putting clothes on and unless your Paris Hilton I’m, pretty sure we are all used to wearing the same item of clothing in different ways, yep it’s pretty basic stuff. So anyway here’s what I wore to work yesterday and then what I wore out for a Birthday dinner in the evening, you’ll notice I’m wearing the same Kermit jacket in both pics, another mag fashion favourite “From day to night with a few simple accessories!”

I told you I was going to do more outfit posts!

So left is work, yes my eyes are shut, best of a bad lot, a patient photographer my boyfriend is not…. I think everything is from an Op Shop apart from the stockings (got them in Melbs) and the Shoes which were a score on Ebay. I think I decided I just wanted to wear as much pink and purple as possible in the one outfit… My work colleagues think I’m a nut case meanwhile.

Then later I swapped out the demure length skirt for a sequin mini, brenton stripes and my fave Minna Parikka shoes, an amazing leaving gift from my London Studio… I also added another billion brooches and badges… More is more right?

Who likes short shorts?

I really wish I was wearing this outfit right now. Instead I am in Noodle’s dressing gown AND slippers.. chic!

I love everything about it (well she maybe needs to calm down on the tanning…)
Spotted over at Style Scout.

Gratuitous Outfit Post

I love outfit posts on other blogs so I thought I’d try to share some of mine from time to time, now that I have a camera again… So this is what I wore to work today… You know, just in case you were wondering.

Skirt: Zara. Crochet Singlet, belt and Jacket: 2nd hand. Shoes: ASOS.

Mmm you like my posing? I kinda look like a demented bird? This is actually pretty blurry isn’t it, well you get the idea… My favourite part of this outfit? The crazy jacket.

Higlights of Girls Nights!

My friend just posted some funny pics onto Facebook of a girls night a few weeks back, so I thought I’d share… I believe between us we drank 3 bottles of Bacardi, 1.5Kg of lime, two bunches of mint and wait for it, an entire bag of brown sugar! YIKES! It does make these photos make sense though.

If you can’t tell, I’m sexy dancing.

I know this has been out there for a while but I’ve only just clapped eyes on this Wildfox Resort 2010 editorial… Um amazing. Everything about the styling, model, locations appeal to me. It makes me ache for Summer (and those pins!) so bad!

See more pics here. And if you’re in Oz then buy up here.

My heart is yearning…

This post is for Sophie D who is currently strutting the streets of gay Paree… So jealous. I love that city, I know it is cliché but it really is everything you think it will be, beautiful, magical, amazing. If I were there right now I’d rip this outfit off of Queen B and stuff my face with Macaroons from Ladurée too (Noods and I went to this one the last time we went to Paris) …

How good is the Moschino dress! The over sized cherry/apple print is so pretty-pretty!

Selena’s outfit is cute too but B is totally killing it. So Parisian, so chic!

Here’s a look at my efforts in Paris (even the graffiti is romantic!)
I’ve got the beret but no Chanel cuffs unfortunately - I do have a Chanel-esque (read cheap knock-off) bag though, which set me back around 3 quid if I remember rightly, haha!
