I EAT LEATHER

Right now I'm eating my favourite green tea ice block (trying very hard to not get any on my computer), and i have to say green tea is the best flavour in the whole entire universe. I needed the pick me up after the day I had yesterday! Its a long story so I wont bore you with the details, long story short it involved a grandma, annoying work colleagues, boat people and a bunch of drunk girls, one in particular. lets just say a day like yesterday should never happen to anyone all at once! I'm emotionally drained.

Any who, today I'm wearing:

my dad's cashmere jumper
vintage leather skirt (I'm so in love with this skirt, bough it in a Wellington op-shop, I've been dying to wear it ever since i bought it, but the weather hasn't been so kind...)
tights cut off DIY leg warmer/socks thing
Siren booties

new nail polish, reminds me of cotton candy... yum

I'm really liking knotting thin necklaces to take away the plain jane factor

YOU GAGA GA ME

How kool is Lady Gaga's head gear?!?! It's insane!

She's so crazy, I solute her for her braveness.

I WANT FUR... THAT IS, FAUX FUR

At Save Mart, one of the biggest op shops in the country, that is a mini country such as NZ with a population of 4.5 mill, yes, very tiny.

I was just bout done when i saw this babe stuck in a rack of Nana jumpers. Its real fur... kinda put me off buying it, it was the fact that its made from a lot of different fur too that if I bought it, I would literally feel like I would be wearing a zoo.

Another faux fur that's more what i was looking for...

My outfit today:

Pimkie coat from France

tartan dress from China

vintage belt

Tony Bianco booties

somehow this belt reminds me of the wool logo... strange

I'm literally falling head over heels for these babies. I know they're from a couple of seasons ago but these Chloes are just incroyable! please please shoe god grant me these for my birthday!!!!

WHEN THE CLOUDS ROLL

This was taken awhile ago I must of forgot to post it, whops... I do have memory issues u know. Somehow i can never remember numbers, for example; my cell number, phone number, birthdays, due dates, important events and just every thing number related. This handy disability of mine has been clearly highlighted in my calc exams...

Wearing:

cardie from Max

skirt from Forever young Australia

Siren booties

and geek glasses

also got a shot of my little monster lookin very C U T E.

MAKE DO

This little beauty is a recent find while running errands for myself, it was only 5 bucks and it fits like it was made for me... OK not quite but close enough. when I caught my reflection in the car window this morning I shocked myself a little, as for a brief moment I looked like a nurse... cringe,
nurse=blood, blood=vomit, vomit= ewww...

due to the near perfection of the blazer I had to add a little 2min D.I.M (do it myself) broach/pin to zoosh things up

I just love how my Moschino pants complement these heels

there's my car/ rental from my parents. its big wide ass makes parking difficult, especially parallel...

back to school tomorrow, I die.

CIAO

long story short since the weather has taken a turn for the better, I've been out and about with friends for the past week, excluding work on bright summery days. the due date for my portfolio is fast approaching and today i had to go out to buy some charcoal... it took me three shops, sore feet and half an hour later to buy a single stick of charcoal! needless to say i felt like I've accomplished something big once i successfully made the purchase and am now watching sex and the city on my laptop, and haven't picked up the stick of charcoal yet...

my friend Stef helped me yesterday to shoot some photos for my portfolio, here is one of my recent pieces, its a cousin to the t-shirt i made for Step for her birthday. i really like the rough edges and the ripped up back, i had no idea what i was doing, the idea came after some playing around

FULLY QUALIFIED

ciao, I'm pleased to inform you that i have successfully passed my full licence. yay now i can drive anyone anytime legally... not that its ever stoped me before, but now i do it guilt free.

i celebrated with an afternoon of shopping, saw a tone of things i 'wanted', but I'm currently trying to keep away from temptations as I'm planning on saving it all for when i go to China at the end of the year. let me tell you it SUCKS when you see stuff you desperately want, but you cant buy it, it SUCKS to save, it SUCKS to get paid minimum wage, and it SUCKS to pay petrol.

i saw these really mean deep green booties with a solid wood heel that's perfect for winter, but since i live in the Southern hemisphere there's no point, one more thing that SUCKS

something i hope that doesn't suck...

wearing:

hand knitted scarf

leather jacket from Australia

op shop denim shirt

diy dome singlet

Moschino pants

Tony Bianco booties

on my shopping trip i found this totally fabulous cardie shrug thingy

snug and comfy, something you don't hear very often in fashion

it even has studs in random places... unclear on if i like that

we then went back to S's place for food and a movie... an Olsen classic, 'A Trip to Paris' typical 90's awful shoes- straw embellished platform sandals, bad hair, fugly hats, and dorky plastic jewellery. it reminded me of the fugly shoes i posted a week back.

S and I reminessed about our trip to France through the whole movie when ever we saw something familiar... ahhh good times

LATEST LOOK

with my friends 18th slowly approaching, I've finally nutted out what I'm going to get her for this very special occasion. so i hit the shops, as a result of the recent on going crappy weather i haven't been feeling the need to go out or get dressed up... something very unlike moi, but with the newbies that my grandparents bought me from China i gave into their temptation.
wearing:
frilly chiffon dress tunic thing from China
diy aviator necklace
Eiffel tower necklace
moschino pants (don't think I've mentioned these pants before, they were a lucky find in a Wellington op shop, hehehe)
shoes from France

as promised, here is a photo of the world's smallest watch( i have no idea if this is true or not, so don't hold me against it) its cute i think... it does make a really nice ring, crap meant to take a photo of it in ring form, i forgot like a idiot-it will come. any who i must be off for work, one of the many joys in life

O BACK TO WINTER

can't believe we've made 0 improvement on the weather front for almost a week! its been hailing, snowing, raining, sun shining (briefly) and tornado wind blowing. I'm sick and tired of Dunedin's weather issues. its not surprising since Sydney had that dust storm, but still it doesn't mean the rest of us has to suffer.

so today i drove to the airport to pick up my grandparents, my uncle bought me a uni present... the worlds smallest watch, its by a Swiss brand called Merveille, I've never heard of it, but its pretty cute. I'm not a fan of women's watches at all but this one goes nicely with my bracelets so i think I'm going to like it, pictures to come.
wearing:

leather jacket from Australia

hand knitted scarf by moi ( took me bloody years)

only jeans

new Melissa shoes

my dad's cashmere jumper

diy aviator necklace (my sunnies broke so i decided to get a bit creative)

i love my new Melissa's! i don't own any pink shoes and it felt a bit strange buying flats but these are just too adorable. my feet does get a bit cold wearing them i must admit.
