What I Wore 09.03.09

Posted by March 09, 2009
This is what I wore for undoubtedly my most loathed day of uni (lecture at 9, five hour break, tutorial from 3 until 6). The last tutorial isn't so bad, it's anthropology which is always interesting. At the moment we're doing a research project, which probably sounds lame but it is fascinating to me!

I got this dress from Cotton On on the weekend for a cooool $7.50. I think it looks a little like prisoner's stripey pyjamas (sorry about the completely different colours in the photos!).

♥ Dress - Cotton On
♥ Shoes - Rubi
♥ Valentine - My secret admirer

Maybe I got the prisoner's stripes idea because I watched Cry Baby on the weekend (while at home sick! Which made me miss a lunch out with my favourite blogging ladies, booo). I love Johnny Depp (but really, who doesn't?) and this movie was so fantastic. I have a renewed lust for pencil skirts and winged eyeliner.

I hope your week got off to a fabulous start!

Love and kisses

Bits & Pieces

Bits & Pieces

♥ I love this Alice in Wonderland themed shoot that appeared on foto_decadent:


♥ Tres Lola has some fabulous suggestions in her latest Why Not Wednesday? article. My favourite is: "Give your iPod to your best mate to update with a whole bunch of new stuff. You might discover a new favourite band/song or enjoy a fabulous podcast… in the very least you’ll have something fresh & new for the daily commute."

♥ As I mentioned yesterday, one of my favourite new blogs is Keiko Lynn. I ADORE her style, it will definitely be my inspiration for winter (IF it ever gets colder in Perth... at the moment it is still over 30C every day)!

♥ These photos are incredible! The story behind them is here (originally found at Agent Lover).

♥ Another blog I recently discovered is Feels Like White Lightning, not least for the crazy Lady GaGa photos. Also, she is hilarious.

♥ Recently I have become obsessed with She & Him, which is the band Zooey Deschenal is the frontwoman for. I'd heard about them ages ago, but only checked them out a few days ago and was pleasantly surprised at their retro, country-tinged pop. Here is the exceptionally cute video for their song Why Do You Let Me Stay Here?, from Volume One:




♥ Oh, and this picture will always make me laugh:

Cupcakes + tea + She & Him + new favourite blogs



What do YOU do when you're having a bad day?



I love you all!

p.s Sorry for the lack of actual posts, I have a really nasty virus (that, oddly enough, has been going around my hometown) at the moment! But I promised myself I would make a real effort to blog more this month. Hopefully you can forgive me?

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 & 21.02.09

What I Wore 20 & 21.02.09

Posted by February 23, 2009
This is the first time I've been out two nights in a week for ages! And by 'out' I mean home by about 12.30. I will stop before I sound too much like a nanna. Although this week I will be doing it again! Eep! Will I turn into the next Cory Kennedy or some such character?

Friday night was Boy and my friend's (and Em's brother! WOAH SMALL WORLD) birthday at Tiger Lil's. Usually I hate going there because a) it is super crowded and b) I always go on a Friday when people are dressed from work and I am wearing something ridiculous like a prom dress and tiara. But this time the party was in a private booth and of course I had the wonderful Em & Reece to keep me company!
Dress (new!): Mooloola (from City Beach outlet)
Earrings (hidden): Diva
Shoes: Zu
Purse (I call him Batty): Genki
I gotta be honest, this outfit really doesn't feel like 'me'! I only really wore it so I wouldn't feel too casual when people around me are so dressed up. I did envision wearing this dress with stockings and a cute little cardigan but considering it was about fifty million degrees I had to reconsider. I do love the shoes though, they are some of my favourites to wear out when I have to stand up for a while.
Saturday night was the 20th birthday of one of my best friends. I started off going to her house in Joondalup and ended up in Fremantle, after a TWO HOUR trip. And I am sorry to say that by the time I got into Freo and saw the line for the club she wanted to go to, I instead got my Hungry Jacks from the 24hr place across the road and headed off home.
Dress: Secondhand
Shoes: Zoom
Earrings: Diva
I never know what to wear out to clubs and stuff because I rarely go! I didn't feel like wearing a short tight dress that seems to be favoured by many Perth ladies I saw out and about, so hopefully a vintage bridesmaid's dress was OK?

Can I ask you sartorially blessed ladies (and men!) - what do YOU wear when you go out dancing? I find it hard to get the quirky look I love when I know I will be sweated on and sulking at waiting in line and most likely spilling drinks on myself.
