rearranging

i've just sat down after rearranging my bedroom. i quite like it. the bed is now the central feature as it should be and it can be accessed from both sides which is good feng shui. i am also now sitting at my desk which i was unable to do before and should be better for my back as i won't be hunching over my laptop on my bed.
as promised here is the coat i purchased the other day for just $3. i love half price sales at opshops.

and here is what i am wearing today to go shopping for boring things for my holiday and have coffee with a friend.
Photobucket
i have noticed changes are a bit of a trend at the moment within the fashion blog community. everyone seems to be moving house, rearranging places and starting new projects. i'm very excited for everyone who is brave enough to inject something new into their lives. i am a very big believer in the saying change is like a holiday.

spare time and internet access have been sparse if late so i have little to form an interesting post with. i did purchase a gorgeous new coat the other day but i will post pictures of that at a later date.
apologies for my boringness

more rain

alas the wet weather continues and as the rain worsens so does my sniffly nose. the boy and i are fond of exchanging colds and mutating them for each others benifit. i was eager to wander down the street and do some op shopping and maybe pick up the next percy jackson book but the incliment weather caused me to run screaming under a blanket. mm snuggly. i am now thinking i may do some baking.

Photobucket

the great thing about this dress is that i keep discovering new tops i can wear beneath it. whilst this doesn't quite create a new outfit it does stop me from looking too lazy by wearing the same out fit too often. you can't quite see in the picture but i love the shoulders on this top. i really like the scrunched shoulder thing alot of labels are favouring at the moment. plus this one came from target and hence was only $18, a good staple me thinks.
top - target, dress - op shop, beret - op shop, stocking - from mother dear
i seem to be in a rambling mood today so i must stop myself.

return of the rainy days

i knew it wouldn't last but it was still sad to wake up to normal rainy winter weather. i decided to try out the boots i aquired through mother dearest a little while back which are actually in at the moment.
i wore my hair in braids to work so it's quite curly, similar to the way it was when i was little. before i started school and got a big girl bob.

dress - soup, cardi - savers, tights - gift from mother dear, shoes - from mother dear, belt - from another dress

nearly spring cleaning

today was another late winter sunny day. to celebrate i decided to some early spring cleaning and was quite impressed with myself and the dent i made in the foot long list of housework that needed doing.
to keep me cheery whilst cleaning i wore my new dress from retrostar.

Photobucket

it is incredibly pretty and makes me very excited for summer even though we still haven't reached spring yet. i hope to grow my collection of these types of dresses.
i also hung me new audrey hepburn print and finished the third percy jackson book. beware before you begin reading the series as they are - dare i say it - nearly as addictive as harry potter.

sunday fun

today the boy and i made the most of a clear sunny day and headed into melbourne with our bikes in the car. we unloaded them at the botanical gardens and rode along southbank. my bike is this gorgeous old graecross the boy found in a hard rubbish pile and polished up for me. i love, though it just needs a wicker basket on the front.
the only shop we went to was retro star where i bought a gorgeous dress which i can tell is going to be a summer staple.
we watched a busker who juggled a chainsaw and then swallowed a sword whilst juggling fire - amazing yet scary at the same time. he also did that strange ball juggling that david bowie does in the labirynth.
after lunch we found a patch of grass to lie on and soak up the sun. it was one of those crisp days where spring just pops its head up to let you know it's on it's way

on our travels yesterday the boyfriend and i discovered this audrey hepburn canvas print for $10 from a bargain shop. it fits in nicely with my growing collection of audrey related items.
Photobucket
other recent purchases include a laura ashley sunhat ($7 - op shop), a mustard coloured travel bag ($5.50 - op shop) and the second book in the percy jackson series, don't judge me.
