Cat Lady Combo

MODCLOTH!!!! If I had all the monies in the world, I would spending them on Modcloth and live happily ever after.

Look what arrived yesterday!

Dress: Modcloth

Hat: Handmade

Jewellery: from Thailand

Boots: Demonia

Sam and I got our “nature” on and had a charming picnic on a strip of grass next to the big church in the city. 'Twas lush.

I am in no way fashionable, but by gosh I am working hard to make 'Crazy Cat Lady Chic' stylish.

I did not steal this hat from a homeless person.

In summary, the best things that happened today were; DRESS. And a gift from Samopust:

Oh look, I know how to duplicate layer, blur and overlay in photoshop. How skilled. And angelic.

I also got another dress in the same package, and i'm pretty excited about it too. Hold your breath, now! :P

Sunday Kind of Love

Well today was lovely. It was my first day to myself in ages, and it was just what the doctor ordered. No OOTD, because I looked like some sort of unfashionable labourer. But I did still play around with that snazzy camera I borrowed from uni, so here's some stuff that happened today...

Firstly, I listened to this. A lot. (Polite suggestion: hit play, and keep reading)

I made a tuna bake casserole, which isn't normally my kind of thing, but HO-LY SHIT this is nom! I don't think we ever had anything like this when I was kid, yet it's so delicious and comforting it feels like childhood. The secret ingredient is RITZ CRACKERS crumbled over the top. The recipe came from one of my favourite lifestyle/DIY blogs, A Beautiful Mess.

Here's what mine looked like, fresh out the oven.

I stalked Gomez a little bit. He was basking in the sun like the sultan he is.

I also played around in the garden a bit, because it was such a lovely day. I only have 2 sunflowers that took this year, and they are late to open and much smaller than last year. But, it's nearly happening!

Cliche as it is, I adore red roses. They climb the lattice work of my porch, and i'm training them to growing horizontally over to my bedroom window. Beauty!

Now i'm “studying” (blogging counts, right?). That's it for a Sunday! :)

Such a Tart(an)

This isn't a particularly spesh OOTD, but it happened because I have a photography class this semester. So me and my pal Sam got our paws on a nifty camera from uni, and went on an adventure to eat steamed vegetarian dumplings and take cliché Melbourne alley photos. We still suck. One of these is even blurry. But they were the least blurry of them all. But hey, we're learning!

Cardi: Target

Dress: thrifted

Pants: thrifted

Chilli Earrings: somewhere in Europe! Present from my bestie :)

Marilyn Monroe Ring: Dandy Long Legs

Blurry, but whatevs!

The boots are Docs, which i'm normally not a fan of because the toes are too round - I like my shoes more squared (like a witch). BUT (cute story)... one morning I heard someone rustling around in the outskirts of my room. I blearily opened my eyes to see my housemate (and bestie, and band mate) holding up my standard everyday boots. I couldn't really see what he was doing, but he told me he was just checking my size. I didn't think much of it and went back to sleep. When I woke up, there was magically a brand new pair of Docs sitting in my doorway. Turns out he was walking to the bus stop and saw one of the neighbours have a garage sale. He saw the boots and thought I would like them, so he bought them for me. What a sweetie! Now I have Docs, and you know what? I'm kind of used to the weird (to me) shape, now. 

Oh shoosh, you!

Yeah, so my earrings are chillies. What of it? One of my besties got them for me somewhere in Europe, and I adore them. One of the best things is, no matter the weather I can always justify wearing them. If it's summer I say to myself "better wear my chillies cos it's so HOT today!" And then when it's winter, I say "better wear my chillies cos i'm so CHILLY today!" Yeah. Uh huh.

Sam's a cool kid. But he MAY eat your babies. I dunno, maybe that makes him cooler? Definitely.

Anchors Aweigh!

New blog design, new domain, new semester = I'M ON THE BLOG WAGON.

Let's kick off with an OOTD, shall we?

I freakin' worship this cute little pinafore. I was in Thailand last year and found a shop that is basically the fat girl's holy grail. It was a shop for plus-size women (beyond rare in South-East Asia), and it had an amazingly hilarious name that I can't remember. Something like “Jumbo Designs”. Anyway, the clothes were REALLY expensive by Thai standards, but fairly cheap in western prices (average around $30 a dress). The woman who owned it was an absolute gem, and her elderly mum was so damn adorable and helpful (though couldn't speak a word of English). I bought so many clothes I think I must've kept them in business for at least a year!

Dress - Fit Fat (Thailand)

Shirt - Fantastic Asia Film Festival

Boots - KMart

Jewellery - Thailand

One of the best things about these clothes is the brand label – FIT FAT – and their sizes are in F's (for, one can only assume, “fat”). F is the smallest, FF is the next biggest and so on. I LOVE it!

My aunty gave me these boots last year, and although they're really comfortable, I sometimes get a bit self-conscious wearing them. They're kind of stripper boots. But you know what? FUCK THAT NOISE. They look smokin', and maybe I AM a stripper. What's it to you?!

This t-shirt (though you can't really see it) is from the Fantastic Asia Film Festival which is now known as Monster Fest – a Melbourne horror film festival held annually.

I also got these earrings from Thailand, from a jewellery maker at the weekend markets. They are little zombies. Too ADORBS! <3

This necklace usually has a skull hanging from the bone, but it came off and I haven't gotten around to fixing it yet. Lucky it still looks cute!

If anyone wants the details of the awesome fat shop in Bangkok, hit me up and i'll dig out the directions from my travel journal! It's easy to find :)
