dancey time

On Saturday night I went for a bit of a dance with my girlfriends. It was the worst weather!! Just pouring down allll dayyyy. Almost like winter...

Anyways, the place we went to doesn't have a cloak room ( annoying) so I cant really wear a jacket...

I remembered I bought this jacket at the "Salvos" about 6 months ago and decided to give it a try. It's my first time wearing something second-hand or vintage. I like everyone else in vintage but it scares me thinking about the previous owner..... I should google the tag on this jacket because it was definitely from the 80s. Think black tag with gold writing. ha.

Oh and it had real shoulder pads!! So funny. I was going to rip them out but I thought they added funniness so I kept them in....

We popped a bottle of champagne before we left and I took a photo a la Porcelain Blonde. Sans ice bucket. Love her blog!

Yay my crazy zebras made it in the picture, and so did some random xmas decorations I'm sorting out.

Anyways, girls nights are always such a blast and I had an awesome time. It MAY of been because I finished the night with Lord of the Fries in Canadian gravy!! WOOOOOO!!!

Ohhhhhh and I'll just forget about the 1.5 hour cab line.... ahhhh.

Hope you all had a lovely weekend!!

Oh! And I was on Channel 10 tonight in the audience of the Dave Hughes special.

Woot!! I wanted to vomit at the start because it was all up in my face but now I'm over it.

Edit - Okay looking at this picture I can almost see my britney. I pulled my skirt down before leaving the house I promise.

Ben, Jerry and John

Right now I'm eating Ben&Jerry's and watching John Safran's Race Relations... i love him!!

First off, I want to smash John's friend who said he wouldn't turn up to his wedding if he married a non-jewish girl. that makes me so mad. what an idiot. he's not really johns friend.

now back to the good stuff.

how good is ben and jerrys? OOOMGGEEEEE

im NOT an ice-cream person. i like the occasional almond magnum mini but thats it.

but for some weird reason i bought these the other day to see what all the family guy references are about.

and daannng

they're sooo good!

lets start with strawberry cheesecake. it actually has the cookie goodness in it!!!

and the chunky monkey has big walnuts and chocolate chucks in banana ice-cream

and its so chunky. usually ice-cream has like 97% ice-cream 3% suprises. but this is like atleast 30% goodness. every bite has fun in it. and its gooooood. yayayayayay

i heard there is a peanut butter flavour. im going to go in search of it.

yayayya

ADD 5kgs BEFORE XMAS! comon everyone! you can do it!! hahahhaha

actually i need to lose 5kg. but i have been on it! i promise

now im going to put the ice-cream away.

see blogging is good!! it made me back away from the tub.

FYI i was eating them out of the tub with a spoon. ahhaah and they are about 60grams of fat per tub. FOUL!

p.s

i love john safran <3>

CCraazyyyyyy!!!

Skull money box

When i went to chadstone the other day for the opening of the new boutiques, i went with the intention of buying the new melbourne chanel exclusive flap or a red flap but seeing them in real life, made me think meh. so i opted out.

i walked past smiggle and saw this money box skull and was way more excited.

ha

so i snapped it up straight away!

my skull collection is getting large! ill have to take a photo of them all one day!

and now it sits here with some peonies i picked up today... in a country road vase..

i like country road vases because they are nice and heavy...

the photos are a bit lousey.....couldn't get any natural light in the room..the sky is so gloomy now the cold change has come through....it was 38.4 degrees this morning! and now itslike 20 degrees!! crazy!!

oh and interesting fact for the day.

i came home at about 3.30 today to find the house reeking of gas. like REEKING. from the front door i was like wtf. i thought at first i was being silly, and then i went to see if i had forgotten to take the trash out... and then i saw the stove and realised i had left the gas on from 7pm the night before!! WTF insane!!!

after i cooked dinner i went for a walk for an hour and then to bed and i closed my bedroom door. when i got ready this morning i went straight from my bedroom outside so i never went near the kitchen to smell the gas. holey moley!! that was nearly 24 of gas on. its so bad.

ive had the doors open for over an hour now to try and air it out.

what if i lit a candle or some shiz? ( which i do ALL THE TIME)

im such an idiot.

ahhahahahha

woopsy

atleast i will be more careful from now on.

i have no idea how i did it. i feel stupid.

im not quite sure what im doing

I made a pasta from scratch. is it still scratch when u use a tin of tomatos instead of fresh tomatoes?
i dunno
probs not. HA!
anyways. it tasted like ass so im not putting the recipe/photos up. hahah
lesson learnt.
just use jar sauce.
heeheheheeeeeeeeee

i forgot to mention i went to Ladyhawke the other night. I love the forum. such a good venue.
she sounded really good live minus the first two songs. but man she has zero stage presence.
such a snoozefest to watch. she literally did not move the whole time. just stood there. and it sounded too much like the cd. very very very little improv. i wanted them to rock out. rockk ouuuttt. and such a downer crowd. everyone just stood there dead like. come on peeps, bop your head atleast.
then we went to the afterparty where she was supposed to dj. waited till 2am then left cuz my friend had to work the next day. i wonder what her dj set was like?
i like ding dong but i hate the stairs. stairs and drinking dont mix well.

I got my nails did in a new colour this week. ive had black and red almost exclusively for the past few years. but i like this new shade.
skin colour goodness
yayayyayay

i wish i could remember its name. its OPI if that helps. ive let you all down. ohhh.

can i just make up a witty name that sounds OPI-ish?

yes. its called nude-a-loo.

HA

HAHahahha

ok that wasnt funny. but none of the OPI names are funny so it works right?

I went to the "new" chadstone today. it was so shit. massive let down. i cant believe we waited so long for like 6 new shops. the other "new" shops are just the old shops that have moved to a new shop fit out in a different part. so crap. doncaster looks a lot nicer.

chadstone you reek!!!

Outfit details :

an ode to no one dress

sass and bide cardigan ( yes i know. im boring)

crazy face by me.

Oh that reminds me i got my hair done yesterday. it took 4.5 hours. and i didnt get a blow wave or cut. sooo long. they tried to fix all the fuck ups from past hairdressers.

so in my next photo hopefully my hair looks different slightly! less orange and more of a clean blonde.

YAY

i need to stop talking but one more thing.

im so over xmas already. OVER IT. its turning me into a crazy. i get real mad and annoyed when shops are busy and people step infront of me or have no rack manners. if you come and look at something you say excuse me. you pyschos. dont just shove in and grab clothes from my hands. ( not literally)
i feel so bad for shop assistants at this time of the year. it must be hell for them.

i will make an effort to be extra friendly to them this xmas season.

yay

ok

im finished with my long speech now.

have a great day everyone!

I got a blog award!!

Yay!

how exciting.

Thank you to Fashion Westie!!!

http://fashionwestie.blogspot.com/

everyone check out her blog. she is much more dedicated than me and uploads lots of stylish outfit pics. she has her own style which makes her blog really interesting to read !

Plus she is from New Ze ! Beautiful Country!

Anyways I'm supposed to reveal 7 interesting facts about myself.

I cant even come up with 1.

I suck at this type of thing. I asked Kate and she came up with nothing and Ds were really NOT interesting.

you guys both suck! actually, its me that sucks. im clearly not interesting!

I will try and think of stuff.

AHHH

1. I am crazy about my baby girl Taco !!! She means so much to me and i miss her so much. Im currently renting so she lives with my parents but i drive 45 minutes away to see her several times a week. Love her to bits!! Life isnt the same without her and i constantly miss her.

She has about 20 names.

Taco, Taco Bell, Nini, Nini bee, Squiddle, Widgey, Skimmy, Nacho, Corn Chip, Buzzy Buzz Bee, Widget, Nindi, Skimmy Bee omg. and these are the ones on high rotation. there are more.

I talk like an idiot when with her eg " whoooss myyy babbyyy guuurrllll?? NINIIII beee isss!!!" etc but i dont care!! YAY NINDIIIII

2. I was in the Herald Sun when i was young. on page 3 ! hahah it was a half page story about how i used to be a dancer that also rode dirt bikes. HAHAH how boring. slow news day or what? but it was so odd. i have no idea why they did it. ( i was pretty young. primary school age. im guessing 9yo?) and he took photos of me riding and then came to my dance classes and took photos etc. i really dont know what the point was. maybe ill find it and read it one day. i cant really remember it. i remember they called me a "dancing daredevil" HA! i hated it and cringed. even at that age.

3. My bf and i spend more time apart than together. its sucky but we deal with the situation. its why i started this blog! we thought it would be a fun way to stay in contact. he has been the laziest shittest blogger though. and then some people started reading our blogs and the rest is history! anyways, we live on opposites sides of the country but we still see each other every 2 weeks despite the 12 hour distance.

4. Once i won $8000 at crown on pontoon. i was 18. i thought it was the biggest amount of money ever. like ill buy a house with that shiz. god i was stupid at 18. HAHAHA

i think i spent it on clothes. and went to japan. and bought a LV handbag. hellz yeah.

5. are you all bored yet? this is a lot of typing for me. i told you all im not interesting.

can this be included as a point? hahahah ok ok think THINK!! ughhh. OK I GOT ONE

i can kinda speak japanese. well i learnt japanese for 8 years and i did it for a bit at uni. but uni was 7 years ago ( AHHH IM OLD) and now im forgetting it. ive been to japan 4 times and last year a bit came back to me. i think i can understand a lot but to speak stuff im starting to forget quickly. but can still have a basic conversation easily. and i can still read it !!

This photo below is of me in japan last year wearing the yukata in the hotel room. is it weird that i put it on and took a photo? i think so. look at my hair colour!

maybe ill dye it back again this winter. it was fun.

6. My bf is a full stalker. ok not really. but after we went out for a while we realised his first cousin was my bff from dancing in primary school and he used to come to all my dancing concerts. hahah. it was quite possible we met at the young age of 6.

i like to say he was this creepy child who stalked me from age 6. HA. HAHAHHAHhaha

its quite weird considering none of us lived near each other. and never went to the same schools or social scenes. i ended up meeting him through a friend i also met randomly through another friend at a club who wanted me to do his hair for a concert. and im not a hairdresser. all hard to explain

7. still ready ?? wow! umz okay

im full on scared of flying. is that interesting? im prescribed valium for flight anxiety and the last time i didnt take it i got thrown of my flight to japan in cairns. i dont really remember much but i was sick on the plane and i woke up in the emergency room at cairns hospital.

hahaha

whatevs, i still went to japan 24 hours later. doped up.

but i fly a lot with work/holidays so its quite odd.

i just hate it and think im going to die.

it kills me. i cant eat for like a week before i fly.

i MAY wake up screaming if i fall asleep on flights...well once or twice...maybe. hahaha

people get scared. i sometimes pray when landing. i sit there and count to 2000 when landing as well. that sometimes helps. hahahhaha

im that girl

ok YAY

thank you for reading if you did!

EVERYONE must reply!! Let me know if you do?

This took me ages, and i think it was about an hour. I suck.

ahh

im so tired

bed time

summer might be here

but then with melbourne...who knows....

hahahaha

i feel in such a style rut.

BOOOOOOO i cant find any clothes i like that arent sass&bide. it sucks. i need to go to the city and do a hard search for new stuff. but shopping in the heat isnt fun is it? hmmz

maybe ill hit up chaddy.

but half the effing place is closed. so annoying. hurry up renovations!!!

i took this photo last night

the reception

after the wedding we headed back to school camp, i mean, the resort and got changed into evening wear. HA! ahaha

cute duck!!

the trees were so tall. this was taken with my super zoom lens...

here we are at the reception.

im kinda too lazy to keep editing my face out. but im scared to show my face.

it seems like heaps of people with blogs get abuse these days. so im kinda scared to show me.

eeep. plus im paranoid so if people look at me weird im going to be like " ohhhh they're laughin at me from my blog"

HAHAHHA

im probably going to delete this photo in like 5 mins and chicken out. and d will probably have a sook. he hates photos on the internet.

this was the only photo i got from the wedding!

so sucky! u cant even see my outfit. boo.

i was wearing a sass and bide dress and the bottom has all ruching detail. and i wore my black rats with my sportsgirl frilly heels.

dang. i wanted a photo! i wore this dress to a wedding back in august and forgot to take a photo then too! i suck clearly. i will probably wear it to another wedding in december and take a photo then.

so lucky! three weddings with different crowds so i can repeat the dress. YAY

outfit details;

sass and bide dress

review cardigan

thank you to everyone who reads my blog. even though i dont make much effort for it to be interesting.

i will try!

i read back at my first few months of blogging and i put more effort into it.

now i will try again. it was supposed to be fun! and a good way for d and i to share things because we spend so much time apart.

so i will head back to my roots.

yayayay

my first day back in melbourne. had a REAL coffee and REAL food. so greatful. we have the best shit in melbs.

i need to do more searching in perth for good stuff. i know its out there!! right now the best coffee i can find in perth is at gloria jeans in borders. if any perth peeps wanna help a girl out let me know!! i like my coffee of the soy milk kind. and not so good, or red vita soy. love bon soy or the green/purple vita soy.

do i sound picky and annoying? maybe.

hahahah coffee must be done right!!

pemberteezy

I was down in pemberton (350km south of perth) for a wedding and it sure was different to what ive been around lately..

its almost weird to be in the "wild". i felt odd.

im back in perth now and finally have phone reception and internet!!

three days with no phone/internet!!! ahhh!! at first i was having a mild panic attack. but the weekend went so fast i didnt even notice.

but seriously though, when u want to talk to someone you have to walk to their cabin instead of SMSing them. ugh annoying. hahahah

here is D feeding the birds....wrong town...dont feed the wild!!!
here is what i wore to the church..... CHURCH

i wanted to wear a hat/fascinator but i was really lazy and didnt find one in the shops

but SOOOOOO many people at the church did. made me feel left out.

and ughhh whats with my foul hair? yeahhhhhhhh i had a bad hair day. the water was off and i couldn't get the conditioner out. whatevs.

what happened to my face? it looks all blurry. HA. HA. i made a funny.
it full on felt like i was at school camp hey.

so weird.

there was people canoeing and stuff. hahhaha canoes!!!

so school camp style

the rooms are on the lake. as in half in the lake..built on stilts...and you see the ducks and fish etc.

interesting.

its nice and quiet though.

twas fun.

more piccas coming soon!!! probably when i get back to melbourne.

outfit deets:

thomas wylde dress/top thing

kookai slip underneath

sportsgirl ruched leggings

mollini kitten heels. ( need to reserve the foot pain for dancing at the reception!)

plus i feel odd wearing sky high heels in church.

im in the executive club at the hotel in perth and these two ladies behind me are getting shit faced off the free booze. its so odd. they even took the bottle from the bar to their table. they're my mothers age. all rowdy and boozin it up.

hahahah so funny.

boooozzeee iiittt upppp laadddiieeezzz

hhahahahahhahahahaah

i heard summer arrived in melbourne. yay-ish.

not sure how i feel about heat in melb yet.

i like that i have heat here and go back to cold in melbourne.

makes it fun for my wardrobe.

now its like im sick of all my "perth" clothes ie summer clothes.

and i need new summer stuff

ARshlgkjdlfgkjdflgjk HATE shopping.

ughhhhhhhhhhsldfklsdkjflksdfj

ok have to find somewhere nice in perth for dinner.

might take all night. HA... i kid. i kid.

cant wait to catch up on all the blogs!

bbacckkkk in W.A

Im back in W.A again. It feels like I only just got back to melbourne.....which i guess, i did.

its starting to feel like a second home here.

Atleast its nice and chill and i can walk around the CBD in a tshirt and im still dressed up. HA!

ahhh perth is great. so relaxed.

last night i went to a chinese place with a friend for dinner to find a massive hair embedded in my meal. SO GROSS. this kinda thing happens to me heaps.

anyways, the lady didnt even apologise. she said she'd give me some spring rolls and thats it and then charged us for the meal!! whhhatttt

ookay lady.

whatever.

it was funny atleast.

anyways, the reason why i have this shoe here is because i NEED it.

Miss Louise is selling them but that shop is not for me. plus i know i can find it on the net cheaper anyways.

i feel like ive looked on every giuseppe zanotti online seller there is and ive come up with squat. ive found the heeled version but not the flat. AHHH

if anyone sees them online please let me know? ill be forever greatful!!

YAY

they kind of dont look exciting in the photo but the silver bits sparkle nice in real life and im a magpie. A MAGPIE. SQUUARRKKK!! Swooop.

okay

step away from the blog.

dodgy iphone shot

I got this sass and bide top the other week and forgot to take a photo of it, but i just found this photo in my phone. ill have to take a proper photo of it next time i wear it. maybe NYE? isnt NYE a night for sequins if any? I'm not going to vegas any time soon, so NYE will have to be it.

such a dodgy photo with such a messy background. gross.

but you guys take photos of yourself before going out and email it to someone asking if its okay right?

RIGHT?

ugh and why am i standing all man like with my legs? odd.

DJ Hero!!

Last friday i bought DJ Hero for my nintendo wii.

sooo muchhh funnnn!! i can live out my dreams of being a rad dj in my living room.

ive played it so much that my forearm muscles ache and im getting a blister on my thumb from scratching for hours.

OH and i got my zimmerman dress altered. it used to be over the knee. now its a mini skirt length. so much better.

wicka wicka wow

pale pink meh

I am definitely not a pink person. or a girly person....but when i spotted this pale pink "silk" jacket at forever new i had to have it. i think its the puffy sleeves..

i never look in forever new...not sure why i was there that day but sure glad i went in.

because its so thin it will perfect for those weird summer days that are in between.

i bought a new white tshirt to wear with it as well which will be perfect for summer! yay

wearing

forever new jacket

sportsgirl black tee (probably should of ironed it. woops)

ksubi jeans

and im wearing my green HOH necklace in this photo but u cant see it. dang!

oh and ive cut all my hair off. SOB. i hate it

grow back soon hair!! i miss you.
