Photo project - day 8

January 10th, 2012

..the day before the hottest January day on record, at 34° is giving tomorrow a run for that title.

I feel like this postcard {from Able & Game on etsy} says it all.

To Ray Ban or not to Ray Ban?

A friend of her way back from bali holidaying {so jealous - i miss the sunshine!} brought me back an awesome pair of fakeys, black in colour, ray ban in the fake ness - love it! Another friend, who arrived back in the country only a couple of days after brought me a thankyou present in the form of black, the real deal, ray bans...win! Except now she won't let me have them because I already have a black pair {no matter that they're fake or not} and is waiting on me to choose another colour so she can do a swapsies. Here in lies the problem, there are

 a) too many colours to choose from and

 b) i am the most indecisive person in the universe!

help meeee!

I hopped onto the website and found a few, and then hopped onto the USA website and found even more sweet ones...now I need help to chooooooooooooose.

i'm thinking these are my first choice...summery much?!



perhaps borderline tiger stripes are not for me? but they're pretty cool..



Online shopping = epic fail

And only a failure in the 'my credit card is going to die a horrible death' type failure from being used tooooooo  much. It's only because I'm not allowed out into the realm of people yet because I'm all laid up with the crutches and the leg brace. Honestly though, what could be more fun than an afternoon on the sunny back deck, tea in one hand, a plethora of online deliciousness at the finger tips of your other?!

I've been good so far and only window shopped but I know it's only a matter of time so until then, here are some of the more inviting and exciting finds i'm trying to decide between.

LOVE these silk tops by rachel rose on etsy! They're handpainted and come in all different colours, it's so hard to choose just one.

Ah, they have deer on them and they keep you toasty in the winter...do they need to tick anymore boxes?

I could wear this anywhere!

Possibly the most amazing ballet flats I have seen ever in the whole entire universe! Stupidly over priced but the doesn't change the fact that I am in love!
{anthropologie.com}

Got to get ready for summer at some point and what better way to do that than with this pretty pretty one piece? Also from mod cloth




So i'm sure tomorrow there will be another bout of online window shopping but for now, it's dinner time and then some good ole mid week crime TV!


Peace out lovers!

Weekend shenanigans.

It was going to be a long hot summers day, the humidity was through the roof. But we packed our sunscreen, umbrellas and suitcases and headed on down to St Jeromes Laneway Festival to show the world that suitcase rummagers are made of the tough stuff!

Such an awesome day out, hanging out with the coolest kids {Trudy and Sarah-Jayne}, making new friends {Jeremy and another Sarah!}, delicious nachos, free fairy floss, amazing people watching and some alright music {i'm not going to hide the fact i'm not a massive fan of the scene, but i'll admit that I still had fun times}. All in all it was an awesome opportunity and even though there weren't huge sales made it was a great day!

Keeping shaded..but still smiling!

Paper cuts {Trudy} and zipper jewelry {Me}, neighbours.

Next door was Jeremy with more zines than you could poke a stick at,

and on the other side of Sarah-Jayne, Sarah with the Tell Tale zine and cupcakes!

Loving the free fairy floss...

and the not as free nachos.

Watching over the crowd and trying to catch a peek at the main stage {in the background}.

They were pretty alright.

There are more photos of the day, including our wee markets section on Laneway at Flickr.

Summery bubblegum treats!

Just a sneak peek at the new collection i'm working on for a secret exhibition i've been asked to take part in...all summery brights, bubblegum pastel and acid wash denim, excited much?!

more info to come...and more photos!

Been busting some new moves...

And loving this song! It's inspired me for new accessories. They're in the works and all summery and bleached denim and bubblegum colours...I can't wait!!!

100 ENTRIES! + a giveaway!

aw I must say I never once thought I would actually stick with this blogging thing up to 20, let alone 100 entries but there you go!

So, in true blogging style, and seeing as I do have an etsy shop with things to potentially give away, I will.

So if you would like to have your choice of my etsy shop, yes you heard, whatever you would like from my shop (i know it sounds crazy but i have a couple of wines and i'm feeling generous!) you have until Sunday the 5th to leave a comment for me. I want to know your favs for summer treats, be they holiday destinations or purely food related, go to town, because I love summer and the sun that was out today has made me wish summer would hurry up and happen! Bring on the gin and tonics by the ocean and the tan lines!

Happy comment leaving!
