Crazy Cut-outs 2008-07-19 07:19:54 No time for an outfit post this weekend, but as per the red dress in the previous post, this is what I've been obsessing over: cut-out bandage dresses! These three are from eBay and unfortunately seem to be pretty popular with the bidders. I'm going to try to avoid the internet and do my own hunting in op shops...but aren't these great?(Currently listening to: Nirvana - Floyd the Barber) Read more:Crazy
Grunge Revival 2008-08-17 21:50:09 Boho! Not really a big fan normally, but how can you resist when Spring is so imminent.Shirt: thriftedVest: thriftedSkirt: ASOSTights: ShoutBoots: Doc MartensI am reviving two of my past favourites. The white poufy ASOS skirt from the previous posts reminded me that I had this floral mini skirt also from ASOS in my wardrobe. And the Docs...the Docs! I've had them since I was thirteen and my feet h
Scaredy-Cat 2008-08-15 00:07:55 Okay, so here I am, in the white poufy ASOS skirt I received yesterday. I was too chicken to wear it fully exposed, it seems to be too dramatic for me and the ultra-short hem scares me even more. So I wore a short dress over the top. One day, one day. I will summon up the courage to wear it in all its ballerina glory...Top: thriftedDress: dear god knows whereSkirt: ASOSBelt: Cotton OnTights: Kmart
Parcel Love 2008-08-14 01:31:07 I love parcels. When I have a few in the mail to arrive, and on any given day they could be placed outside my door, contained with the lovely items that I have scoured the internet for...I love parcels. But not when they won't be mine. When I've had my eye on the items for too long only to be bitterly disappointed by someone out there who has more funds in their PayPal account than I do...I love p
The Weather for Pleather 2008-08-10 21:54:01 It was warm enough to take my jacket off today, Spring is on its way. The strapless dress had a previous life of being a skirt in this post. But hey, I like short hemlines better. And I know I said in that post I'd put the skirt/dress up for auction on eBay...but could find it in my heart to let it go. I speak of it as if it was a puppy dog I found on the street and I had to give it in to the poun
Floral, Lace, Spots and All Things Girly 2008-08-08 05:48:56 The weather has been glorious in the past week and is set to continue, so I went down to the local park today and took advantage of the sun.

Denim Drought Over 2008-08-04 19:41:01 Just realized I have not worn any denim since I've started this blog. How horrendous! Even though I'm not one for denim skirts, jackets, or shorts, I have over ten pairs of jeans in my wardrobe. However since dropping half a dress size at the beginning of the year, all of them have become slightly loose for me. I like my jeans fitted, thank you very much! And since then I've only bought one pair i Read more:Denim

Lacing Up 2008-09-03 05:01:10 This came in the mail yesterday:Thank you Imelda Matt! I had a browse through the Zu website and this took my fancy.At the store the salesgirl could not believe that a voucher for 60% off actually existed. She asked me where I got it from and I replied 'from the despotic queen of shoes, of course'. She looked at me with a blank stare on her face and then proceeded to try to get me out of the store
Photography Q&A 2008-08-30 20:19:58 Recently I've received some emails concerning my photography on this blog, so I'll try to answer some commonly-asked questions in this post. What a great way to make a filler post, too!1. Who takes all the photos on your blog?Me! Well, 95% of the time. If I decide to utilize a friend's photographic abilities instead, I will always credit them at the end of that post. So if my post doesn't mention
Mad About Shoe 2008-08-28 21:17:05 Today really isn't about my outfit. I mean, I like it, it's kind of geometrical. But there's something way more important I'd like to share with you...Shirt: Miss ShopDress worn as a top: thriftedSkirt: Stella ForestHeels: Dolce & GabbanaWhat? D&G? How is she able to afford that on her penniless student budget, you say. EBay USA, that's how! I set myself a limit of no more than $200 for a Read more:Shoe
Bushwalking 2008-08-28 21:08:45 Okay, so the skirt finally made their real debut today when I went for a photo trip with a friend. Who would've thought tutus and scraggly shrubs went together so well...or not! This photo finally shows it in all its glory, look - it has a bow on the front. And pockets too! For aspiring ballerinas to stash their mobile phones in, of course.Cardigan: Country RoadSkirt: ASOSBag:Marina GalantiCamera:
Blue in the Bedroom 2008-08-22 23:34:32 I've been so busy with uni lately that I haven't made my usual photo trip. Instead, you'll get outfit shots of me in the lovely exotic location that is my bedroom.Shirt: thriftedDress: thriftedLaptop: HP DV3000So that's where my lovely gold vintage sailor buttons went.

Anchors Away 2008-08-20 09:13:21 I've been too busy to take outfit photos...sorry! Instead, I'm very excited to share some of my recent purchases.See a pattern?I found this bag at the local op shop for $5. It even had the original tags attached. I really shouldn't have bought it as I have enough bags. But it was cheap and fits A4 size easily. I've been carrying it to uni the past few days. The store had pale pink and green ones t Read more:Anchors
New Norcia New Beginnings 2008-09-17 02:46:02 I'm back! Laying in bed recovering from the massive photo trip that I went on yesterday. So this post will be small on words and big on photos.Dress: Vintage from eBayHeels: ZuThis dress is bound to be a summer favourite. It is an original from around 40 years ago, purchased from Suzie (Divinity in Design) who is great to deal with. It features the loveliest geometric skirt and a tie up top.So whe
