l faut voyage en velo. c'est merveilleux!

been working like an angry bumblebee this week. even weekends are occupied at the shop i call my second job instead of lazing around at home doing nothing. december is such a mad month for anyone in retail, and sometimes i wish i could just skip that whole spot of the calendar and jump straight into new years eve and parties. christmas pressies, christmas wish lists, christmas holidays, and christmas cheer do sort of make it all worth it.

i've said it before and i'll say it again...how rad is this skirt? sheer and maxi were definitely meant to be together. like green eggs and ham. peanut butter and jelly. milk and cookies. sometimes you order something online, and it's always a 50-50 chance the item will look as great as it looks in the photo and in your head. in this case, it defnitely exceeded any expectation i had. nastygal, you did it again.

i'm baaaaack, and promise, for good this time!!! i am so sorry for being mia, kind of really just needed a break from all things computer related, and unfortunately that meant blogging, which is one of my favourite things to do! i blame all the reports and email checking i do at work! it's funny, computers used to always be just a tool i use for fun things like downloading music and youtube videos and all this blogging goodness. but now, computers have a more useful use, i guess, as 50% of my worklife revolves around using it. not that i'm complaining...i love what i do, and the chance to check my ebay auctions in between the daily tasks is something i am not really prepared to gove up just yet. i just had to you know...get away from it all (for lack of a better term).

ANYWAY.

went shopping in the city last weekend and bumped into a wicked little pop-up boutique (don't you love 'em??!) that sold all WA designer pieces. walked away with this Carly Hunter top which was an absolute bargain for 50 bones, and the most amazing square owl ring ever. kind of loving the fact that pop-up boutiques are popping up more and more often around perth...gives the regular shopping grind a bit of ooomph, and that "helloooo lover, where have you been all my life?" feeling is always inevitable.

lace maxi skirt

my orders have finally started arriving (yaaaay!!!) but the weather has warmed up so fast it's almost too hot to wear anything these days! that's why i looove this skirt. i mean, aside from the fact that it is gorgeous, and the lace + maxi skirt is that perfect mix of subtle sexy...the lace is so fine that it actually feels like you're not wearing anything! so so perfect for Perth's scorching hot summer, and quite perfect for moi!

went to Stereosonic last sunday. best. festival. everrrrr. it was favourite dj after favourite dj in sequance, so there was absolutely no time to sit down. think 6 hours straight of dancing to the best beats, it was sooo amaaazinggg. of course the come down after was crap. i only just fell asleep after 3 days and 2 nights of full on life. but honestly, wouldnt have done anything any different. the festival lineups this year are soooo goood, i'm looking forward to the next one already!!!

so sorry for the lack of posts, life has been hectic and monotonous all in one go. the days have been disgustingly muggy, and the only thing i want to do when i get home is lie on the couch and never ever leave the confines of my wonderfully airconditioned room again.

BUT i am very aware of the sadness of this existence, so i am getting up and starting to be active again.

say hello to my favourite bunny. my version of linus' security blanket, it is unbelievably comfort and pretty much feels like someone is hugging you all the time. that and i feel like maniacally hopping around everytime i wear it, makes it the funnest piece of pseudo-winter garmentry maybe ever. you should see the dirty looks i get from the old ladies in the train everytime i wear it with the hood and ears up. i say they are just jealous, if everyone had one of these, there would be no grumpy people left in the world.

LOVING this blazer, and i am so chuffed there is some cold rainy weather left in Perth so i can still wear it! sorry for the lack of posts lately. it's been blah-day after blah-day, as i wait for my orders and online shopping goodies to come in, so i can finally have my new wardrobe. when they do start arriving (next week...pleeease, fate?) be prepared for the onslaught of photos because yes, there will be many. till then, it's just you, me, my leopard jacket, and the adorable Catface.

Friday today, and official start of the weekend! weeeee!!!!

inbetweeners

(thrifted denim shirt, Sportsgirl tank, Finders Keepers shorts, Soles canvas wedges)

i am in such an irritating in-between state right now. lately, everything just seems very "neither here nor there." my hair is in that irritating stage where i'm just sick of it and it needs a cut or a fringe or something but i'm not quite sure what, ze body is hovering somewhere between leftover winter blubber and i lose a pound on the weekdays and gain 2 on the weekends. everything in my closet is either worn to death from last summer, or worn too death from the winter just gone. even my sad bank balance is annoyingly in-between...not quite anorexic, but not enough for a major spree. thank god for happy thoughts of things to come...like my shakuhachi leather track shorts which should be showing up any day now...or the fat Finders Keepers order that just came through today and waiting to be collected....or my lace maxi skirt from Nastygal...or the front row seats to Wicked come June. yes, many lovely goodies in the horizon, i just have to keep reminding myself to be patient, no matter how difficult it's proving to be!

(Friend of Mine top, Finders Keepers maxi skirt, Toi Et Moi lace bomber, thrifted panama hat, Sportsgirl wedges)

one of my favourite jackets that is the perfect throw-on piece when the days are in between warm and chilly. that, and the lace sleeves billow in the wind, which make flapping arms just that little bit more fun. there's a small window of jacket wearing weather left, and i am definitely milking it for all it's worth.

work has been cuh-raazy this week. one more day till the weekend, one more day till payday, one more day till the biggest sleep-in of my life! hang in there, bitches. lazy days just around the corner...!
