Sydney

Sydney Times!

Just came home from spending the weekend in Sydney to celebrate university holidays (5 week freedom = a very happy me) and coming home really made me realize just how much I hate living on the Gold Coast. Basically all I did in Sydney was shop and eat and smoke and sleep... so it was pretty fucking awesome haha.

I would probably sell my first born for this vintage feather dress from Grandma Takes Trip.

I did however buy these adorable earings from The Vintage Clothing Shop in the city <3.>

Art and Film

Spent today lunching and shopping (end of financial year sales are dangerous) and ended up passing through both the Regent Cinemas and the Queensland Art Gallery but didn't have enough time to enjoy either of them. 'American Impressionism and Realism' is the galleries current exhibition , all the pieces are lent out by the Metropolitan Museum of Art, and I was supposed to be going with my art history class but decided that I would much rather explore the gallery independantly... however i'm a lazy sod with poor time management skills whos till hasn't gotten around to it. I'm also trying to get around to seeing Sunshine Cleaning (Amy Adams looove) at the Regent Cinema, the foyer and cinemas are AMAZING, going to the movies has never been so interesting. Anyway here are some not very interesting photos:

Regent Cineama (sorry the pictures aren't great, you're actually not allowed to take them)

Kris and I stopping by the gallery

Hopefully with uni holidays coming up i'll be able to cross these two things off my to do list :).

Funhouse

I forgot how fun going to the park can be. When I was young I used to spend entire days taking the dogs for a walk, playing in the park and riding my bike. Today Kris and I set out to buy eggs from the corner store but ended up spending the afternoon playing in the park with Teddy and eating junk food... small town fun.

[Today I wore: dress - Karen Walker, sunglasses - MNG, lace top - thrift, shoes - Rubi.]

D.I.Y.

Tonight extreme boredom lead to me cutting up an old top and making a D.I.Y. collar for myself.

The collar from this shirt...

...plus some of nanna's old broaches equals:

...well guess I'm off to eat some more ice cream and watch American Beauty.

Online shopping is dangerous

The sign is pretty self explanatory... here are just a few things on my wishlist that are relatively realistic price wise. :) Sweet little "Flower Girl" Earrings from Adore Vintage
They're also clip on which is convenient seeing as i'm too much of a lazy ass to go and get my ears pierced.

Adorable vintage rose print skirt from MoonShineVintage via Etsy.
I've spent a good portion of my life trapped in an Etsy browsing cycle.


COOL BEANS "kitty kat" lamp from FredFlare

It burns my soul that they don't deliver overseas!

"Rosario" gold ballerina flats from Pretty Ballerinas
Finding a good quality pair of gold flats is A LOT harder than it sounds! Blerg.

Vintage "Petal" Blouse from Allencompanyinc via Etsy

Vintage Frye boots Allenscompanyinc via Etsy

...they remind me of ice skating boots hehe

A State of Emergency

Here on the Gold Coast (i've provided a link for 99.9% of people who have no idea what / where i'm talking about) it has been announced that our 'city' is currently in a 'state of emergency' due to the heavy rainfall and strong winds. What ordinary people would classify as a windy winter weekend has been declared an emergency here in Australia. Anyway the point is that FINALLY it is cool enough for me to wear coats, jumpers, tights etc. Today was the perfect rainy day for a movie marathon, despite the fact that I resemble an oompa loompa and am having a hideous hair day.

[Today I wore: jumper - thrifted, shirt - Lisa Ho, Jeans - Wrangler, Bag - a misc. store in Japan]

Tiffylumpkins

is also taking advantage of the wet weather, spending long days indoors sleeping, eating and watching me watch t.v.

Angelina

Seeing as I am kind of celebrity obsessed AND can't make decision to save my life (a true libran) I thought I'd start posting some of my celeb inspiration in a new segment I like to call

"You are my favourite person"

Okay... so maybe I didn't so much as come up with the name as I did find a conveniently titled sign that kinda sorta matched my new segment but anyhooo... exhibit one:

#1 Angelina Jolie

lkajklzjxoi!! Words cannot describe how much I am in love with her latest Cannes look! I am a long time, crazy big Angelina fan and although I miss the good old recently sexed, knife collecting, vampiric Angelina, she's currently blowing me away with her new found appreciation for glamour. Sure sure a fashion reformed Angie is old news now (thanks to a celebrity stylist and a year long binding contract with St. John) but i'm hoping this year she'll really step up her game. I thought she looked phenomenal and I especially loved the gigantic split up the side of the dress, reminiscent of the wild days.

Ah, who am i kidding i'd take a leather clad, brother kissing Ange over the newly constructed glamourpuss any day. She was exciting, crazy and completely unpredictable... what more could a celeb addict like myself ask for?
