Making up for Lost Times

Gentle Storm.

It feel's good to get into the swing of things. I'm back at Uni, out of work... Plenty of assignments which means lack of social interaction which means I have some sort of restraining order until my break.

Last weekend we celebrated beautiful, Mel's birthday. We traveled to a Spanish Cabaret restaurant. It was an exhilarating experience. I absolutely love dancing, its in my blood and the food was drool worthy!

We even had the opportunity to have a salsa lesson. Mel and Brother dearest won 1st place.

I wish I could take better pictures to show you the ethereal layers that made up this dress. I cant believe this dress is so old! Perfect Find


Bloom nailpolish, grape vine ring- Sportsgirl, Assorted heirlooms from family, japanese pins- Borders, Military Jacket- SES; Vintage Cue Dress- Salvos; Wittner boots.

I feel like I am experiencing abrupt and constant change in my life and that has definitely molded my views and beliefs. I am comfortable in my own skin and never have I been this comfortable experimenting. We bloggers should know this. It is like an unspoken , mutual connection. We stand out. We do. People either blatantly gawk their eyes out at you or sheepishly comment your interpretation.

Amongst our community we will always have the haters that love their stereotype. And you will see this. They have their posses and they all look alike even if they are fashion forward. Whatever, I absolutely despise arrogance.

It gives me time to catch up with sleep and I can reply to all your comments. So sorry!

I'll keep it short and I promise I will look after the blog! Thank you so much for sticking around

I found this beautiful sequined blazer and I am so glad I bought it. Money well spent me thinks.

Here is a lil dose.

Hello fellow bloggers,

I apologise for my tardiness. My inefficiency should be blamed on my ability to leave things to the last minute. I’m still at University and this semester is almost done with the added grace of 2 excruciating exams first week of June. So again bear with me for a little while longer. According to my family school should and always be my first priority haha! Yes Pa’

Well anyways that being said I won't limit you from what I have been up to lately.

Last night we travelled to 'The Rocks" in Sydney and dined at a popular and appropriately named restaurant called, 'Pancakes at the Rocks'. Foolish of us to order meals... the pancakes in itself could feed a family of four.

here's what they call a Devil's Delight

Now for the outfits we donned, sorry for the blurry images still learning how to use the camera in manual focus!

I also found an amazing and refreshing designer, Bjorg with a unique promotional campaign. At first I thought if it were me in that ad I would run for my life... but for art's sake lets just live life slow mo'. Check out their website!

Met Gala 2009, I know all of you have been bombarded with these photos on our blogosphere but i finally see something I like, thought I'd give it a mention.

Winter Windows

Today was such a gorgeous day, the weather was beautiful and crisp. The fresh breeze and the warmth motivated me to get out of the house and do something for a change.

Days get boring when uni, work and assignments take over. I guess we need to remind ourselves there are other things out there that needs to be appreciated... and ultimately there is really no harm in taking things so slow.

Smile my fellow bloggers.

Vintage shoes, Brother's military cardigan, Indian scarf, The beta state dress, voodoo tights.

Found an adorable winter coat at Salvos today. Perfect replacement.









Hope everyone had a great start to their week

Twenty

Goodmorning 20, will you treat me well this year?

Today I pretty much wasted the day and just laid back... took photos , did some quality reading and research nothing productive. Danced my way through lunch whilst cooking 2 minute noodles. Don't you love having the whole house to you and it's dead silent. It was fun.

Here's what went down before dinner with my fam bam!

wearing: Vintage gold shoes, hat, a-line skirt and cardigan and jay jay's cotton tshirt. Chandelier earrings all from Justine.

The party however, takes place this weekend.
Any ideas how to celebrate my new found maturity?

One day away

Responsibility is looming.

I am just a day away from turning 20 and I don't think I have achieved anything significant so far.

What's the big deal anyways? It's a number and I am far from claiming my adolescent years were in essence when "the good times rolled". I don't want to grow up but I learnt that is inevitable haha.

The reason why I haven't blogged in more than a week, I broke my dear old camera, Canon. But as I am known to "live and let live" I will buy a meaner, sexier, well equipped SLR haha and in addition my internet has exceeded it's limit. But don't worry in a few days my internet will be up and running. I will get back to all of you as soon as possible.

will be replaced hopefully by this bad boy

Sorry about the lame quotations I'm happy!
