Braving the cold

Winter seems to have made an unexpected and annoyingly early arrival in Melbourne. Seriously, yesterday I thought my buttocks were going to freeze completely off. However in my extreme hatred of pants, I rebelled against the cold and donned my Kermit the frog stockings. Paired with my all-time lover roll-neck, homemade swing skirt and clip-cop lego flatforms (not to mention a myriad of gold rings and bracelets) I felt rather fitting for the cold weather. That was until I stepped outsideand. aghast at the serious shill-factor ran back inside for my gaudy leopard print fur coat. This baby has never let me down– its almost like being inside a big cuddly teddy bear. Love love love.

I am sad that I didn't get a picture of it to show you bébés, but no doubt if the weather stays like this, it will be getting a lot more action.

hanging with hanneli, by tank magazine

I am absolutely loving this series of Hanneli shot for Tank magazine. She is an überall babe anyway without all this epic photographic magic, but hey, a little more baben can never go astray. And did I mention how freakin cool the clothes are? Check out the entire editorial here

What's new with me, I hear you ask, well it is Easter Monday and I am becoming more and more restless. Holidays, I think, are overrated in so many ways...I mean the first few days are bliss but then large voids of time start to appear in the day, and I find myself waking up in the morning with absolutely no idea about what on earth I am going to do. I need plans and activities to keep me busy, and right now the rather sodden pile of homework on my mental desk is so unappetising.

I NEED to get out...

you heard what i said bunny!

wishing a happy easter to all my ragga-muffins...

something to sink your teeth into

I feel it is about time I went to some trouble and posted a proper 'outfit post'.

I have been basically wearing variations of this outfit for the last three weeks. The leopard camisole is probably my favourite wardrobe item at the moment. It is so simple and easy to wear, and is satisfying my leopard-faze.

Annnnd I am not embarrassed to admit that I own the matching shorts, and shirt to go with this BL skirt. That is Bettina Liano, not Blind Librarian.

Shoes, although you can't see them are like blocks of black lego strapped to my feet. Kind of a cross between prostitute creepers and those japanese clog-foot things. Sah hot beb.

Ba-bling ba-bling is courtesy of Diva and Wolf circus. I know, Diii-vah, cringe. But I was so pleasantly surprised and excited when I went there the other day, and the spiked gold cuff and eye-can-see-you ring that I stepped out with were enough to turn that cringe into a cry of delight. Not as tacky as I thought...

I apologise for the weird images– I cannot resist the ol' photoshop, and have an obsession with over editing.

A bit of me on your plate. Nothing like some fatoush in your feed.

No idea what I'm on about? Its called Instagram– get on it.

I have been clogging the feed with snaps of life that would make the lion king proud. I am tired people. I can't write. God I can't even read.

Just look at the pretty pictures and feel content.

Do do list for tomorrow…

1. BUY THE NEW ISSUE OF OYSTER

2. Rangle with the loss of day-light savings, and try and get up after 7am.

3. Try and tame my hair without the aid of a hair-straitener

4. Try and have a better day then i did last week– i swear last wednesday was the worst day of my life.

what cha doing? shoppppppiiinnnnnng

some hypothetical shopping at asos dot com is helping to break up my mammoth study sesh into smaller, more palatable chunks. i'm thinking sushi
