Girly Grunge

Nothing beats a bit of a tutu sewn onto a grungy T-shirt.

This T-shirt is the best. Every year, designers in New Zealand get together to design T-shirts for Glassons (big chain store kind of like H&M). They are pretty much my summer staple, as they are always the most amazing designs, and $20 from every T-shirt goes to research breast cancer. Can't really feel bad about that, can you?

Wearing: Zambesi Breast Cancer T-shirt with pink tutu sewn on, Cherry Cotton Candy Jeans and Warehouse Slippers.
Gotta love the Alexander Wang side Braid!

Right now photobucket won't lot me log on, which is a little frustrating as blogger makes my photos sooo small.
This is the first time I have posted all year! Isn't that terrible? Just goes to show how bad I am at updating this thing and why I have so little readers haha. Problem is, I quite often only post when something new and exciting turns up and I feel it needs more attention that to just be worn out. Maybe one of my new years resolutions should be to post more often, but in some ways a blog is meant to be about me and what I want, so sorry mum :D.

I just started my summer course in creative writing. I'd love to be a writer and I love to write. I think that I am generally very good at it, but so very very unmotivated. It's just when I sit down in front of paper I feel as if I can't write anything bad. And if you can't write anything bad, well of course you can't write anything at all. Even when I write for our school magazine I feel slightly ashamed of what I hand in, while in reality it's quite good. It's well researched at least.

Merry Merry Merry Christmas


I thought I'd put a picture up of all the presents under our tree. Doing just a quick count of what I could see, there are 42 presents! I don't really want to unwrap them. Just having them there is so much more exciting. Hope everyone was as lucky as me, as happy as me, and have a great Christmas!

Girly


I've been dressing so girly lately. It's not like me at all. I'm usually in shorts and Doc Martens at this time of the year, but it's sooooo good to have warm weather. I'm loving just sitting around in this great new dress I found at an op shop. It makes me want to play tennis!
Maybe it's more fashionable to be girly this year. I've noticed lots of polka dots everywhere and of course florals are still going strong.

Only 6 days till Christmas. I cannot wait. Having 3 days off work makes a difference and I have lots of sun dresses and sandals calling.

I got sequins on my pants




I made these shorts more than a week ago and they are starting to stretch already :(. They used to be skin tight. Also apparently sequins fall off butt pockets but oh well. I love them. The only thing missing from this is roller skates!
I got my hair cut yesterday :D. They always straighten it like crazy for no apparent reason. I thought they were going to cut it a little more once it was straight, but they did nothing. It was really strange. But I guess otherwise, my hair was a big red afro from all the hair drying. I personally thought it looked better though haha.

Cup Day




I went to cup day with my dad today. I tell yah, I can't understand how the likes of Rumi and Lulu go around in heels all day. My feet are killing me and that's just from one outing. Still it was a long day and I barely got to sit down.
I decided to enter fashion in the field after I got flagged down as soon as I came through the gate. But their taste is so shocking! The shinier the better, and everything has to be so matching it sets your teeth grinding at the cheesiness of it. Also, they told us to get there at 12:30 and my event wasn't till about 3 let alone my heat. There was no where to sit back stages and everything was so disorganised so I wasn't even sure if I was in the right place. It's safe to say I won't enter next year.

Wearing: Home made dress with exposed zip, Bag from ?, Borrowed Shoes, Self made headband, Cream rose ring from Diva.

Iekeliene

I love Iekeliene Stange. She always achieves the perfect amount of dishevelled pattern mixing. I dream to be as cool as her
