Click your heels together and say, "There's no place like home!"

So, my apartment's lease is up in May and then I will be moving! The next place I live in will actually NOT be a rental, how exciting! Well, technically I will be renting an apartment that my parents own, but basically I still have free reign to decorate it how I wish. I'm so excited, the apartment I'm living in now hasn't really felt like "mine", and I haven't done about three-quarters of the things I want to do, design-wise, because of renting restraints. So I have been a little gleeful about this new place, and started looking up things that will be very comfortable in my new house!

First of all, this gorgeous wall decal from JustMyLuckDesigns. OH MY GOD. I love it so much and can just imagine where it would go (above the sofa in the living room). I want to buy it now but OF COURSE that would mean it sits around until May. Boo.

I am looking at wall decals now, and if I had my way I bet there would be one in every room. They are fantastic! Pity I didn't title this article "Wall Decals I Would Love To Have In My Future Home". On Etsy, they seem to be especially cheap. Awesome! How cute are these little birds (from FreckledHound):

I think these would have to be my favourite teacups ever (perfect to serve gin out of, for that authenticity :P):

I can't decide between these sets of salt and pepper shakers. The chemistry set appeals to my inner nerd, but the penguins! So cute:

Although Boy & I don't live together, one thing that we both want in a dream house is a music room for record players, CD's, guitars and stuff. Hopefully in this apartment I can beat him to it and claim the idea as my own. Ideally, these would be in there (damn you and your US-only shipping, Urban Outfitters!!):



These are just beautiful.

And a gorgeous, musically-inclined chandelier for my bedroom (I want to say boudoir, but I remember a Will & Grace episode where Will and Karen mock Grace mercilessly for using the word boudoir without any sense of irony). Seriously, is this the most awesome thing you've ever seen or what? Courtesy of BePicky:

I could go on and on and on, but hopefully you've gained some interior inspiration already!

Places I would like to live #2

I haven't really talked about it on my blog yet, but I am a huge book nerd. Book nerd doesn't even cover how much I devour books and am always looking for something new to read. So I thought it would be interesting to see what the inside of Tom Wolfe's house looked like and I was pleasantly surprised! I was expecting a minimalist place (I hate minimalist, I LOVE STUFF) and instead it was this wonderful kitschy place!

What I Wore 15.9.08

What I Wore 15.9.08

Posted by September 15, 2008
I can't believe it's halfway through September already! At least now it is FINALLY beginning to feel like Spring! Today I went into uni for my media studies tutorial, in which all we seem to do is talk about political correctness, and then had some yum Pad Thai for lunch. Now I am studying for a sociology test and dancing to Rollover Beethoven by Chuck Berry!

Shirt: Target//Singlet: Cotton On//Shorts: French Kitty//Tights: ?//Shoes: Converse
I bought these shorts yesterday, I got a Myer voucher as a late birthday present from my aunt & uncle that live in Wagin (which is about four hours away from Perth. I think the main attraction of the town is a huge scultpure of a ram. Not a sheep, it is very clear it is a ram). My mum was visiting me for the weekend so we went and bought a few things - apart from these shorts I bought some housey things from Bed Bath & Table and a beater so I can finally make cakes & cupcakes and things! Mum also very nicely paid my EMBARASSINGLY EXTRAVAGANT late video fees... the store which I hire them from seems to be very keen to rip me off as much as possible :<

1. The closeup of the fabric on the shorts//2. My beloved Cons//3. The other goodies I picked up! A 'Love' sign (just because), a magazine holder in a very sweet print (and only $9! All other magazine holders I've seen are about $20 and not nearly as cute), and displayed on the cake platter that was a belated present from my godfather (& uncle) and his family!

(in case you were wondering, the reason I have a TV under my desk is because when I first moved in, my friend gave me his old TV to replace my teeny-tiny one [seriously, my laptop screen was almost as big as the TV!]. Anyway his ended up dying but apparently he is going to pick it up from my house sometime.)
