Wellington

Spent the last few days in Wellington with my lovely mum and aunties. The weather has been pretty disappointing but omg I have done so much shopping and found some really cool thing. Shopping in Wellington is so different from Christchurch and given more time I think I could find a whole new wardrobe here (not that I need one). One shop on Cuba street coughed up about 5 amazing dresses for me to try on in 10 minutes of searching but they all ended up being the wrong size or the wrong price. But I think if I went their regularly I'd be a very happy chicken. People just aren't as stylish in Christchurch (sorry Cantabrians). I've noticed a massive difference in male style especially. Guys here actually give a f&%#.

I found some great fabric too which I am going to rip off Kate Sylvester with. I'd buy your clothes Kate but they are just too expensive for me. I'll make up for it one day. There was this great fabric place where everything was really cheap, then they'd tally it all up at the tills and divide the total by half. Can't argue with that kind of bargain.

Wearing: Homemade dress, Farmers smoke tights, Red Patent Sandals from store I can't remember, Beige Dotti Socks, Prada bag and BodyShop Lipstick

So Wellington= more choice, but I think it's easy to say that when you have lived in Christchurch for so many years and pretty much exhausted its second hand opportunities. I suppose I would catch up on Wellington eventually anyway.

Wearing: Homemade dress, Black Lipstick from Value Store, Black Chucks, Smoke Tights from Farmers, Secondhand Jersey, Prada Bag

I feel like this post should be way more exciting since I've left it for so long, but realistically, what is the point of a blog about style if you don't post your everyday outfits? So this is what I literally threw on to go see Narnia with my mum (massive disappointment). I've been enjoying wearing fairly boring, plain jumpers at the moment. I just bought this black one and I wear my comfy beige one constantly of course.

It's fun to be able to swish my ponytail backwards and forwards. I sometimes wack my boyfriend in the face by accident.

Wearing: Savemart dress (pleating self alteration), Savemart black Jersey, Cuff from Lovisa, Dotti socks and Red Velvet Doc Martens.

Long Hair

My hair is finally long and I love it. Can't get enough of the feeling of it on my back.

Posing in front of my toilet!!! Probably not the most stylish place to take a picture

Blatant self promotion

I'm selling some clothes on trademe, to try and clear out my closet. Some tops, and skirts and some really great beaded cardigans. If anybody's interested, check out my trademe listings: http://www.trademe.co.nz/Members/Listings.aspx?member=2239656

Hang out with my friend Simon today. It's so sunny now and lovely, I'm really enjoying wearing barely there clothes and of course my Doc Martens. Sorry for the lack of posts, I've been working at the Warehouse Stationery for the past 2 weeks and consequently not wearing anything particularly interesting.

We just walked around town and got icies in the park and ate noodles. We saw Jack Johnson! Well we think it was him because he is in Christchurch at the moment for a concert and it looked like him and he had an American accent and wanted to go look at a music store. So we stalked him for a bit (it was very good stalking we were actually walking infront of him for a good deal of it) and then eventually lost him and gave up. It's not like I'm even a fan, but Christchurch doesn't get many celebrities haha.

Above is the picture of my new necklace from Starfish. I don't go in that store very often but when I saw it in the window I fell in love and just had to have it. Luckily it was my birthday recently and I was given some money :D. I also got a beautiful Karen Walker ring from my Auntie which I will put a photo up of soon.

I am wearing: red velvet Doc Martens, a Glassons dress and necklace from Starfish.

I know it's old news but I am so sad Luella went bust. It was by far my favourite label, she is a genius and her collections were copied in the stores all the way down here in little ol' New Zealand. I feel kind of sad for her because if this was impossible, she probably would have made a whole lot of money. But I guess you can't really stop those things and the key is to always be one step ahead.

I hope one day somebody will throw some money at her and we will be able to see her awesome creations again. Maybe if I win lotto.

Mondo Rules

I bought this jacket for $6 at Sallies the other day because it reminded me of Mondo from project runway season 8. I can't say much because my mum hasn't seen the finale but Mondo, if you are reading this, you are my favourite contestant ever and I was rooting for you from the beginning.

I am project runway obsessed. It's the best reality tv show in my opinion because it showcases real talent and is less about the drama, though I've felt that's gone downhill since lifetime took it over.
