apple juice won't stain

today i spent the day shopping on crown street (a street off oxford street in the city)

i visited cream, uturn, grandma takes a trip and C's flashback for my fix of recycled fashion

i also made a quick appearance at american apparel to pick up the charcoal figure skater dress i've been after but they didn't have my size.

online store here i come

yesterday i had bought this cropped floral blouse from a thrift store i felt the need to wear it straight away.

these shorts i had cut and cuffed from vintage jeans
they are the most comfortable things i have ever worn and will defs be wearing them alot throughout the summer no doubt

it was a tad chilly when i left the house this morning so i wore my don't ask amanda beige cardi and used a vintage mini backpack (which i have also grown to love)

and then come the shoes.

i also bought these from the thift store yesterday for a bargain $2

next time anyone is in the paddington/surry hills area of oxford street i encourage you all give crown street a go.

it's too fun.

spring is here and the weather shows it. yeeee haaa

you're gonna drive my crazy. you're gonna drive me mad.

good thing about sober sunday mornings (if there is such a thing) is that i can take my time finding something to wear for the days festivities

i found this sleeveless blouse in a thrift store in westleigh.

i love how flowy and sheer it is.

the denim skirt i made myself

vintage fur: i would never buy it brand new and this stops it from sitting in someones closet not being worn.

i'm doing it for the fur!

another thrift store find, this hat cost me only $2

it goes by "the happy granny gardening straw hat"

can't tell you exactly what i was trying to achieve here

possibly a preppy farmer with raybans? who knows. i like it but.

happy sunday

look a diva in the eye

now that the sun is shining and my legs are bare

i need to invest in a pair of mirrored sunnies

probably my favourite thrift store buy ever, this denim shirt

it's so basic, but so great.

and this leather skirt i made for my textiles major work. i gathered the sides to give it that 'wrap' look. surprisingly i can wear it with anything

i really like how one can get three outfits out a one piece of clothing.

for example:

dress: supre - jumper: thrift store - blazer: thrift store - shoes: zu

last night i attended to black & white ball which is an annual event to raise funds for the royal blind society.

i got my dress at thrift store & then altered it.

please excuse the prom like poses. dress: thrift store - ring: diva

you! me! dancing!

i dont believe there is a difference between want and need

for example i need to get me a copy of jalouse.

a subscription even

but to continue on with our ever lasting love affair with alexander wang id like to acknowledge his spring 09 show.

however not the collection (which smacked his super successful fall range on the head and took it's crown. i've never really been a fan of the 'athletic' look, but this has changed my mind)

i based my entire textiles major work folio on a compostion notebook so seeing what came with the gift bags for guests really got me going.

she'll never get old. i love how he used basic wood benches for the audience to sit on

one day i will meet alexander wang.

and he'll give me a pastel blazer for christmas

through a keyhole

for the past few cold months i've grown rather fond of gloves. all sorts.

long ballroom wonders of cheap black satin that make me feel like audrey

pale blue suede granny-gloves

fingerless leather biker gloves à la ksubi

bring on december 9th

i am guarding these with my life

kiss kiss

if i had a large sum of money, i would buy every pair of these shoes. but since i dont, i guess ill just have to pick one. sigh.

when your not here i sleep in your t shirt

and so we decided to have a quiet night in during the winter holidays.

i find it diffcult dressing with flats during winter but stockings saved my life. yes, stockings UNDER my plastic leggings. it's a weird idea but not noticeable and kept me super warm. i was also over dressing all black and pulled out my favourite flowy summer shirt.

american apparel eelskin leggings - ilovebilly oxfords - vintage shirt - myer grey longsleeved basic - calla leather jacket

and then i was inspired to reunite with my denim shirt dress. i had altered it from a basic shirt during summer by removing the sleaves and gathering sections of the waist but lost it for most of the warm season. nina's vintage leather jacket made up for the lack of warmth. ripped stockings didn't help for anything but looked remotely cool.

my take on the rodarte beauties

i just want to drink me some wine

one not so lonley saturday night

dress made myself - calla leather jacket - stockings ripped myself - wittner shoes - costume shop necklace - sportsgirl headband

crown street high waisted jeans - fur vest from thrift store - american apparel black tshirt

went to some place in surry hills and vegas in the cross few weeks ago

fun night but didn't end well

im in love with the peace symbol necklace i wore. found it in a costume shop and put it on the gold chain. at first thought it was too bling but gave it a go anyway. same issue with the stockings. worried i'd look like a hooker but figured im not? so fuck that
