What I Wore 26.08.09

What I Wore 26.08.09


It's my week off uni this week, this is what I wore to go op-shopping in Fremantle. I went by myself because, in my experience, people get annoyed when you spend hours in EVERY op shop looking at EVERY piece of clothing and trying on one dress, then another dress, then the first dress again, then leaving them both, then deciding to come back to the first dress, then trying the second dress on again too... you get the idea. ANYWAY. I think that was the best option because I waltzed away with five (FIVE! Hooray!) new dresses, the new Frankie magazine and a purse made out of fabric printed with cupcakes.

This is what I wore for vintage extravaganza shopping...
♥ Blazer from Target (new!)
♥ Jeans from Cotton On (REALLY need some new ones, it is beyond a joke now)
♥ Skull Indian tee from Kookai
♥ New Steve Madden shoes, bought for $30 at their closing down sale. I had no idea Steve Madden was going out of business, I am not that happy about it! I didn't wear these shopping because the heel is quite monstrous but I am wearing them out to dinner so it still counts.
IT IS MY BIRTHDAY REALLY SOON! YAY! I decided today that I really want Gossip Girl on DVD. I don't know why all of a sudden, but I feel my life will not be complete until I have it.
Some sneak peeks at my new op shop finds...

Hope your week is going swell!

What I Wore... sometime last week

What I Wore... sometime last week


This is an outfit that I wore to dinner at Boy's parent's last week. Sorry for the delay in photos & posts in general, it is an INSANE time at uni at the moment (two presentations last week, argh!) and about a billion things have gone wrong in my new house.

I bought these glittery stockings ages ago because they reminded me of Cassie from Skins (who I wrote my very first post about!). Because they're over-the-knee they keep slipping down, so I just stuck some Hollywood tape on the inside and hoped for the best! It worked though!
♥ Dress: op-shop
♥ Tights: Jonathon Aston (from Sportsgirl)
♥ Shoes: Zu
♥ Ring: Sportsgirl
♥ Nail polish: Titania by Australis
Oh, and remember a while ago I said I had bought THE most awesome cardigan at an op-shop? Well...
Even if I do only get to wear it one day a year, it's the best $8 I've spent at an op-shop. Oh yes. How cute are the little ghosties? They're even waving sticks around, awww.
What's your favourite op-shop find?

What I Wore 27.02.09


This is what I wore to go and see Coldplay!


♥ Vest: Op-shop

♥ Singlet: Cotton On

♥ Shoes: Rubi

♥ Bangles - Diva

Coldplay were SO AMAZING, one of the best live bands I've ever seen! I know people either love them or hate them, but I think they're incredible. Also Chris Martin seemed really cool so I want to be friends with him. When they sang Yellow I had a massive grin on my face for the whole time! I thought it was a really good crowd too, which is pretty rare now!

What I Wore 20.10.08

What I Wore 20.10.08


As I mentioned in the previous post, this past weekend I was in Bunbury. I thought I would have plenty of time for blogging and such but unfortuantly 17 people staying in the one house does not allow much time for taking photos! Because two of these people were under five (and whom I usually see twice a week when I look after them), I am also quite sleep deprived!

Boy & I were there to see my family in a play. I've seen my sister in lots of stuff (and she is excellent!) but it was a bit weird seeing my parents (yes, both of them) up there too! They were all very good though so lots of love to the Lloyd family ♥

I was kind of grumpy when I got to uni, not least because this morning I had one of those horribly girly moments where I decided I hated everything in my wardrobe and now it is all on a heap in the floor. This is what I deemed worthy enough to leave the house in:

Shirt: American Apparel//Skirt: op-shop//Shoes: Isabella Brown//Necklace: Diva

I spent this afternoon lazing around listening to Cat Power and eating baked ricotta cheese, so it has been nice and relaxing. Deceptively so, as I have about a trillion assignments due... the end of the uni year is week after next!
I hope your weekend was good, if you are in Perth I will be amazed if you haven't been reduced to a big puddle of sweat.
