Hello! I am looking forward to doing some more outfit posts while I am in Bunbury and NOT in Perth looking frantically through boxes of things to find my camera connector cord - to no avail, might I add.

Chocolate shoes! Surely the dream of any Easter-celebrating fashionista?

As I had predicted, Telstra did NOT connect my Internet when they were meant to, so sorry for the lack of updates! I'm in Bunbury for a couple of days, so I will have Internet for a while, at least.

In the meantime, eat as many eggs as you can! Don't feel guilty, it's Easter, they don't count.

Love Tara xx

That's right lovelies, today I am moving to my new house (literally 10 minutes away from my old apartment). I'm not sure whether my internet account has been transferred there yet, so in my (possible) absence I leave you with the talented James Galea. I think I may have to marry a magician so he is obligated to entertain me every day (to any magicians out there.... how YOU doin'?).

I have been trying to do that hand trick since I saw this on the Melbourne Comedy Gala thing and I CANNOT! Maybe that will entertain you until I get back?

Thanks!

I saw a post on blackcigarette about most romantic real-life couples. Even though I think that people picking "favourite" celebrity couples is a bit weird... some of the pictures were just too cute not to share! Photos are credited to the LJ user who posted them, all others are from my computer!

Michelle & Barack Obama

Adam Brody & Rachel Bilson (I know they've broken up, but what a cute picture)

Any you want to add? :)

OK, so when I'm not wistfully thinking of cute gumboots, I daydream about owning these pieces of fantasticness... it's Easter soon... is that an excuse to buy all of them? Note: Other excuses include: "I just handed in a presentation, I should buy shoes"; "It's a Wednesday, maybe I should pick up some shoes?"; "I haven't bought any new shoes for a while, maybe I should buy some RIGHT NOW"; "I'm helping the economy - you're welcome, K. Rudd!"

Hello kittens!


For the past few days I've been in contact with the lovely Audrey of Plueys, who make some excellent and very cute gumboots (and we all know I am a fan)! Exciting news - she very generously offered readers of Gin in a Teacup 15% off all gumboots available from their website! Hooray! Here are my favourites...

The 'Catstooth' print is simply adorable. I can see them being worn by a quirky librarian to work on a rainy day, as she sits in the corner reading Nabokov, drinking tea and eating ginger snaps.

The 'Go Fish' boot would be worn by a girl who works in a pet-store, with turquoise hair and purple fingernails. Her favourite pets are - what else? - the fish, and she owns two Japanese fighting fish called Sid and Nancy.

The 'Oooh La Lace' would be worn by a stylish party girl, who doesn't want to trade in her fishnets once winter hits. She'll keep her feet nice and dry while waiting outside of her favourite club.

The 'Catstooth' print is definitely my favourite, don't be surprised to see it adorning my feet once it starts raining!

If you want to buy any of Pluey's delightful boots for yourself, enter the code "havesometea" when you get to the checkout! This offer lasts until the 30th of September, so there is enough time for people on both sides of the globe to put their feet into something pretty! A note - there is ONE USE PER CUSTOMER ONLY.

p.s This probably goes without saying, but I wouldn't feature a product on my blog that I wouldn't wear/use myself! I don't get any sort of payment from Plueys by featuring them on my blog, but I think you'll enjoy the discount (& the product!) if you choose to use it! Also, I would have put this up yesterday but I didn't want y'all to think it was some April Fool's joke :P

♥ 50 years of popular songs condensed into single sentences. This made me laugh! Send it to all the music nerds you know!

♥ What do you think of the new ad campaign for Agent Provocateur?

♥ A model goes from 10 to 60, using makeup and lighting. I think this is interesting.

♥ Check out Gem's Etsy store, it is fantastique! But please don't buy the Fawngirls print... I want it to be a housewarming gift to myself! I've already picked out where it is going to go!

♥ Sorry to be Perth-specific, but kittentails has posted a list of all the op- and secondhand shops in Perth! I have BIG op-shopping plans for my weeks off. Thanks kittentails!

♥ I loved Nubby Twiglet's post on Style Signatures. Do you have any? Want any?

♥ I also loved Shannon's post on "What's Your Sexy Style?", or as she says, "outfits that make you want to wank yourself into a coma". Hee!

♥ This has been blogged quite a few places recently, but I LOVE the 1000 Awesome Things site. My favourites: here, here, here, here and here! (I could go on all day... this site is AWESOME!)

♥ Amanda posted this shoot featuring Emma Watson. I like the idea of the shoot but I think she is MUCH prettier without so much makeup shovelled onto her face. My favourite photo:

Phew! Quite a lot of links to get through... enjoy!
