Cossack

D and I like to take photos of us jumping and compare who got the most air. I think we have photos from all our holidays of us doing this. Cheap thrills.

We took a drive down to Cossack on Sunday. It's now a ghost town but was established in 1871 to house all the pearl divers that came down hoping to strike it rich.

Up above I am jumping in front of a shop that was built in 1890. Most of the town has been destroyed by age and cyclones but there are still a few buildings around. But I wont post photos of them all. Snoozey. Plus it's more of a suprise if you ever go there yourself.

Down below is the view from a lookout point in Cossack.

I'm pretty sure this was low tide. It was about 5pm

Here is what I wore... I look like a "blogger" here don't I? HA! D took a photo of me getting shitty at the flies and storming back into the car.

hahahha

But it totally looks like I'm trying to "werk" it.

I made him take a close up photo of my vest. I like all the beading. It's really heavy though.

The vest is by a brand called Kachel. I thought I was really stepping out of the box here with this vest. But then two people have already asked me if it's Sass&Bide. So clearly I'm not. I thought I was doing great but not buying something S&B for once. GAH!

Although, I just realised the t-shirt and shorts are. shit.

I spotted two cute gallahs on a power line and made D get out in the blistering heat and take a photo for me. He is a LADIEZZZZ man. swoon.

I've given up on sandals in the 42 degree heat. My feet get too dirty. Sandy. Grimey. Annoying.

Next time I come up I'm bringing more closed toe shoes.

Orange iron ore feet isn't pretty.

I'm getting a nice iron ore tan though.

Pity it comes off in the shower each night.

----------------------------------------------------------

I really enjoy when I hear middle aged women with top 40 ringtones. I'm next to a lady who has Katy Perry as her ringtone. She has children. She'd be in her late 30s. But rock on with the Kate Perry ringtone. It's especially funny when they can't find they phone in their handbags that carry the kitchen sink and it goes on for ages and they get flustered.

This is so my mum. If she could figure out ringtones. Or how to answer a mobile phone.

As for me, I always have my phone on silent. I like missing all my calls.

Sitting on a palm tree. like i always do.

It's pretty hot up here but i still refuse to wear shorts and t-shirt. I'm just not kind of girl.

I have been seen wearing long pants and long sleeves when it hits 42. i dunno.

im just not into skin. its like wasted space that could be used on clothes.

im suprised im not wearing a cardigan in this shot. ha! in my defense it was really hot. like sweaty hot. eww.

these photos turned out pretty average because D was covered in (no joke) about 25 flies at any given time and he was getting frustrated. and i was too because i was hungry.

Remember how I posted ages ago about the kirrily johnston maxi skirt?

well i finally got around to taking a photo of it.

YAY. its hell comfy. Wish it was more flared at the bottom but then i'd run the risk of looking like a hippy. ok maybe not.

How cool is this palm tree?

I thought it would snap when i sat on it but D assured me it wouldn't. ha.

Here is a close up of my belt. Yay for cheap finds.

T-shirt - sass and bide. I love these ! i have three now. sssshhh.

Skirt - Kirrily Johnston

Thonnngsss - thats how we do up in the pilbara ok.

Belt - Forever New . I bought this when i bought that blush jacket ages ago.

I know it seems silly to spend so much on basics, such as plain white cotton tee and plain black cotton skirt but i wear basics A LOT so i want ones that look decent after washing them. and feel nice to wear. the fit always seems better as well.

rock art !

D and I drove down to the burrup peninsula to see if we could find some indigenous rock art. apparently its one of the biggest collections in australia.

im such an idiot. i thought it'd be like easy to find and signs and stuff ( ha!)

but you had to actually hike around this huge national park. as if. im wearing gladiator sandles and its 40 degrees celsius.

so we drove around a bit...walked around a bit...the flies made me MENTAL. i may have screamed curse words loudly

ughhhhh

imagine having atleast 5 flies on you at all times. so gross! i need me a bushmans hat with corks attached pronto!!

anyways, we found one.

ONE!!!!

a lizard or something.

ughhh. whatever. atleast we found something. hahah

oh and i found a bazillion kangaroos. photos coming soon! YAY

so cute

oh yes and here is a closeup of the neckline on my dress.

its like a brassy metal pieces that is detachable for washing. yay. i think they look like bones.
pretending to look up into the tree so i dont have a double chin! i fooled you guys right?!

outfit details

sass & bide dress ( ugh soooo annoying always falls down cuz of the heavy neckline and shows off your tatas to the max. i will probs never wear this again. so mad and not only that the material creases so easily it looks gross after 10 mins of wear)

witchery leggings

sam eldeman shoes

diva cuff

ray ban sunnies

if i look greasy in these photos its because i have SPF on + 40 degree sweat. anyways.

i hope everyone is proud cuz i never wear SPF. yay. all my friends who read this get off my case! i wore SPF!! Happy now? yayyy

my nose is filled with red dust.

It is sooooo hot. well compared to melbourne..

today hit about 33 and with full length sleeves and pants boots etc its hooooot.

snazzy onsite outfit.

underneath the ship loader.

i hate heights!! and i especially hate heights when you're walking on grid mesh! and there are sharks swimming underneath. !! ARGH!

the photo below doesnt really show just how high it is. it actually looks quite low.

i wish i could show how tall i was in perspective so you can see how high it is. ughh nervessss

the water is such a pretty colour here.

They would kick me off site with this outfit above . hahahhaha. but there was nothing dangerous at the top of the hill so i had to jazz it up a bit for the photo.

first off,

WRONG glasses. the safety glasses are off and i kept changing whenever no one was looking. some sort of stand issue bolle gross sunnies. ughh.

shirt must be tucked in.

no hard hat on. oops (its so annoying)

plus i dont think green doc martins are classified as steel capped safety boots.

hahahah

oh wells. i try hard but seriously, why is safety wear so freaking ugly?! i'm pretty sure they can merge safety and stylish together. right?
