Happy Father's Day!

This is my favourite picture of me & my dad. 

He is the best.

Even though he beats me at Rockwiz.
And sometimes scares boys I like.
And steals all the Tim Tams...

He also burns me cool CDs
and doesn't complain if Father's Day presents are late
and is the only person who can get away with calling me 'Tarsy'.

Happy Father's Day, Papa Lloyd! Love you!

What I Wore 03.09.10

Hello! It's spring!

I have a camera tripod now, so I thought I would try out some different outfit post locations.Please ignore my goofy expressions, I was a bit embarrassed to be outside taking photos for once! Luckily I don't think any of my neighbours were home. But you know.

The Bonsai Dress from Modcloth

H&M scarf, a gift from Renee

Cotton On leggings & cardigan

Mimi Loves Jimi brogues

Sportsgirl earrings, part of my 21st present from my friends

Gold ring from Evolve gift shop

Sorry, it is not the most interesting of outfits. But, it has served its purpose for the day. Namely, trying to do assignments (and instead getting distracted by Friends), and later on I'll be catching the train down to Bunbury to spend Father's Day there.

Have an excellent weekend!

Max Love

As we Australians head into summer, I am really loving the look of maxi skirts and dresses. I never used to wear them because I was a bit wary of making me look even shorter, I can't go past them as an easy option to chuck on and still look a bit glamorous and 70's-ish. Maybe I'm just influenced by the fact Jerry Hall is in Perth at the moment.

New Kids on the Blog

Okay, these blogs aren't new, but they're new to me! I have forgone a social life in order to stay at home and pore through their archives. If you haven't read them, then prepare to be enlightened, and if you have... then feel smug.

♥ Le Blog de Sushi
I am incredibly late on the bandwagon with this blog, but I adore it. As well as posting gorgeous outfit photos, Sushi posts lovely editorials and other bits of fashion inspiration. It is an absolutely beautiful blog!

♥

♥ Little White Tiger Teeth

One thing I love about fashion blogs is that you can be inspired by a style that is totally different from your own. And so I love the style of Melbourne blogger Adele (who was recently featured in Cleo magazine!); she looks amazing in things that I would never be able to pull off - although I do own the leopard print boots that she's wearing in this photo!

 ♥ 

♥ Vixen Vintage

Of course I would love this blog! It is filled with stunning vintage clothes, and the dress featured below is absolutely amazing. I plan to make something heavily inspired by it soon! Seriously, how amazing is it? SUCK IT, Miu Miu cat print.

21 today!

I am 21 today! 

Thank you to everyone who wished me a happy birthday & everyone who made my day so special.

These are a few of the things I was lucky enough to be given...

(And I should mention they're all taken on my brand new Canon 500D! Thanks mum & dad!)

This bracelet is from my grandparents. It's my great-great-grandmother's - from 1885! 1885! - which my grandma had restored for me. It really means a lot to me to have something with so much family history.

This is a choker & was a present from my aunty. Last year she gave me a vintage ball gown and the necklace goes with it. The stones are so beautiful!

This was part of an insanely awesome present from my four best friends. Along with this were a pair of earrings, a 'High Tea' cookbook, a really cool Sportsgirl beaded bag, and a kind of cut-out mobile (which I will try and remember to take a photo of once I hang it!). I love it & they picked out such perfect things for me, they are amazing!

Time for bed now, I have been rather spoiled today and am quite exhausted!

What I Wore 30.08.10

Hello! This is what I wore to my birthday dinner. 21 tomorrow, yay! I went to the Left Bank Restaurant with my family and it was quite delicious. It was so hard to find somewhere that was open on a Monday (the only day my family could come up) but I really enjoyed this place.

I wore my amazing Willow skirt that I bought during the closing sale of the boutique I used to work at. It is a really intense gold in real life, and leaves little gold specks everywhere!

Black tights

Siren wedges

ALL of the photos turned out pretty blurry. Sorry! Here is one of me and my sister. I have really horrible posture in this picture. Or maybe I just have a food baby.

I'm not one hundred per cent sure what exactly she wore, but I'm pretty sure it's a vintage cropped sweater, a dress from Supre (actually, one of MY old dresses from Supre), and heels that she originally bought for dancing.

Time for me to snooze and enjoy my last half an hour of being twenty!

Sunday Songs

I'm so sorry for the lack of posts. I don't know if I mentioned but I got a new job, and between that and uni I have been keeping pretty busy! But here are some songs that have done a good job of distracting me...

♥ Cee Lo - Fuck You
I've seen this song linked all over the place and only just got around to listening to it. Then I listened to it again and again and again. I don't really need to say much more about it, just listen to it and you will be singing it and dancing around too.

♥ Black Lips - Katrina
I heard this on the Scott Pilgrim vs The World soundtrack (I saw the movie a few weeks ago, I LOVED IT) and it makes me want to jump around and defeat evil exes and have cool fight scenes where people explode into a shower of gold coins.

♥ Reel Big Fish - Don't Start a Band
This week I was working on an assignment at uni from ten in the morning until about five thirty. For some reason all I felt like listening to was Reel Big Fish, and I did. Almost all day. I'm kind of embarrassed because not even my most music-loving friend (that would be you, Emma Durrell) would not back me up on my love for them. Oh well.
