would be a shameful thought...

it shocks me sometimes. my thought process. the little slivers of hate that manage to trip through my brain at the most inconvenient hours, those being the ones where i am supposed to be calming down, in preparation for my entry into the land of nod.
the relevant example being, how much i would love, deep down secretly, to write a hate letter to so many individuals in my life. a letter detailing those characteristics and tendencies about them that make my blood boil, my hands itch to slap them, my tongue burn and long to slash their self-esteem to shreds. terrible, i know. but it's true, and i hope that my admittance of the truth might be the redeeming quality in this not-so-disney post? anyway i'm sure there are those who are secretly curious to know what some of these aforementioned letters may say. and while i am not going to fully unleash my inner bitch and write in full said letters, as this is my blog which i hope some people still read, and as i have neglected it for so long, i shall disclose a line here and there without revealing the intended recipients, or getting too personal. i hope you appreciate this and that nothing is taken the wrong way.

"it amazes me just how f***ing judgemental you still are, who are you to sit on your high horse and condemn the world, you do realise you are so far from perfect yourself, that you could not even see perfect in the horizon with a top-of-the-line telescope?"

"some days, it's just pure amusement to me the way you apparently believe that you are just so entertaining. if you had a brick wall behind you and an audience before you, we could make a fortune selling tickets to 'naive, the comedy'. "

"really? it's been six months since high school and you still haven't grown up and realised that you. are. an. adult.?! honey, i want to have a front-row seat to your induction into the Real World."

"yeah, okay, but if it were HER inviting you? you'd probably, most definitely go. or at least consider trying. "

"so, are we really 'Biffles' or are you only 'here for me' when it suits you?"

"aww, i miss you too. i wonder how many other people you've said that to and followed through with, 'we should catch up, it's been too long!'. save it for someone who believes you. "

"don't be sorry. it's your decision. bull !@#*ing sh!t. could you GET more subliminally judgemental?"

you get the picture. and it's not a pretty one. caricature artists of the French revolution could produce more attractive scenes than the ones sometimes flitting through my overprocessed brain. a big bag of weird does not even begin to describe the beginning of what goes on in there sometimes. hmm, perhaps i should take up yoga or whatever the neurotic's answer to AA meetings are, give the attic a good spring cleaning. or would kick-boxing be a more appropriate solution. and so my dear fellow bloggers and blog-readers, i hereby invite you on the comments section of this post, to express your views, whether they be opinions on the twisted inner-workings of my mind, or perhaps just use it as an open, anonymous forum to vent your spleen (to use one of my favorite cliches) in the way of some of your own one-liners from guiltily considered hate letters. remember, there is no judgement here.

Do zobaczenia.

the past

so this is how i shall be dressing in the summertime, i have decided. i just love the pretty pattern in this skirt, and this year i'm all about being comfortable and stylish at the same time. i love the cute modern-meets-hippy vibe of this whole outfit, especially the lacy bustier top, which adds a unique twist to the overall boho look. the heels, polished nails and dark red pout provide a subtle contrast with the carefree feel of the skirt and brown accessories, which, come to think of it, is kind of the look that i myself like to channel a lot of the time. i think this girl pulls it off quite nicely. kudos. and remember, it's all in the details ;) xx

"camera obscura"

i just absolutely adore everything about this image. this amazing human being is from pretoria, south africa, what some would call my 'mother country'. south africa is indeed a beautiful place despite what one might hear about it being 'dangerous'. i have been there twice and various members of my family numerous times and we have all returned completely and utterly unscathed, and the people and food and scenery and everything there is just beautiful. anyway, i just love the subtle contrasts between textures in this ensemble and the way the similar earthy tones pull it all together, the sequinned vest giving the outfit that something special without going OTT. i also like that this look is quite achieveable. kudos to this girl.

7 days of jumper day 6... ze jumper which i bought :)

if you love this jumper or are a fan of cute op-shop or vintage clothing but are a broke uni student like myself, then please check out BUS Vintage at their facebook page http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=1539322591#!/brokeunistudentsvintage or their ebay store http://shop.ebay.com.au/brokeunistudentsvintage/m.html?_nkw&_armrs=1&_from&_ipg&_trksid=p3686 where you can snag yourself a treasure like this. :) big big kudos to mandy and lucy at BUS Vintage for finding this amazing jumper, and also to my best friend emily may for taking the photo :) location: wilson botanic park, wearing BUS Vintage jumper, cotton on skirt, liebemini tights, glassons flats (aka my emergency flats), vintage bag and necklace.

my milano twin?

so, i maybe possibly, might just have this same blazer. well quite similar in any case. i think he pulls it off quite well, don't you? ps the background looks slightly like melbourne, even though it is not. i think so anyway.

14 days of jumper...day 5 (and an apology)

darlings i am deeply sorry for my neglect of ze blog, however i have been rather on the busy side as of late. as such, i am changing 14 days of jumper to 7, so as to more quickly finish the series so that i can move on and post other things.

so, apologies. 14 days was probably a bit much anyway.

so day 5 of the series features an unexpected find, a jumper not originally intended to feature in the series but i just love it and the way it's been put together in the outfit, which i found on lookbook.nu

i just love the subtle mix of grunge, vintage and preppy in this look, and it can be achieved quite easily, with a boat-necked jumper in a bold colour (i love this burnt orange but mustard or red would work quite nicely also), a white blouse with a large collar and some cute denim shorts over tights and boots the same colour as the tights so as to keep the focus up top. i'm also quite a fan of these boots, and was very close to purchasing a pair myself recently. perhaps i still will. i also love the bag and hat, speaking of which i recently bought a great bag online that will feature on this blog hopefully soon (well as soon as i remember to buy camera batteries)

anyway that's all from me for now. xx

14 days of jumper...day 4

firstly darlings, an apology, as my blog has been sadly neglected so far this week, due to a horrible thing called exams. fortunately, these are finished for the time being, so i thought i'd celebrate by showing you all this delightfully different knit by aubin and wills. it caught my eye because of the stripes and the unique shape, as well as the fun buttons on the shoulder. i'd pair this with a denim mini and a bright red trench for a fun, nautical-meets-british look, with perhaps a cute redor white beret to top it off. the best part is, it's probably not too difficult to find a similar style in a store near you. enjoy. xx

14 days of jumper...day 3

so darlings. today's 14 days of jumper installment features this beautiful classic style miu miu jumper with a unique but subtle twist, being the bow at the back. i just love how something so simple can make this classic style and neutral colour look that bit more special. actually, i just adore most things miu miu, and this jumper is no exception. i personally am not a jeans girl, but this knit paired with skinnies, a pair of heeled boots - ankle or thigh-high or perhaps just some great black suede stillettos and a messy bun would make a perfect weekend ensemble. that's all for me today. it's short and sweet because time isn't really on my side, and to overdo this post would be to spoil the beautiful simplicity of miu miu.

strawberry crown

i just adore this. just. everything about it. the vintage/ballerina/fairy vibe is perfect.

14 days of jumper...day 2

good morning darlings (or should i say good afternoon, i just slept in!) and welcome to day 2 of 14 days of jumper. today's gem is a gorgeous chunky patterned charcoal knit from general pants, which you can buy for $140 at http://www.generalpants.com.au/store/womens/jackets--vests/no-more-fade-jumper-1000032521.html i love this because of the texture and detail (i'm a fan of texture) and the colour is divine and would go quite nicely with this season's khakis and other neutrals. alternately, it would look lovely brightened up with a happy floral print such as a skort. another perk to the jumper is that it can help extend the life of your summer wardrobe in the colder months, by layering it over a maxi dress, or shorts with tights.

however, if you are like me and therefore a broke uni student, take heart because this post comes with a pearl of wisdom as to how to stay warm, look hot and maintain a friendly relationship with your bank balance. the answer is simple in three little letters. d-i-y!
head down to your local craft store for wool, knitting needles and a pattern resembling the jumper you desire (i suggest lookig through stores or the internet for the knit/s you love first and keep them in mind when looking for a pattern) and get knitting! many craft stores such as spotlight tend to carry patterns and ideas for how to replicate the latest looks, so you should be able to find something you like quite easily.

if you don't know how to knit, ask your mum, grandma, aunty, whoever. i'm sure there'll be someone who will be more than happy to teach you. or if you don't have the time/patience to do it yourself, you could buy the wool and enlist your grandma/mother to do it for you, as again i'm sure they'd be happy too, though it might be nice to take them out for coffee and cake or present them with baked goods as a thankyou afterward. knitting is actually not too hard, and can be quite fun when you get the hang of it. it does take a bit of time, but your wallet will thank you when you're done, and when you're out and about sporting your cosy new knit, and people ask you where you got it, you can grin proudly and say 'i made it myself'. or pass the credit onto whoever made it for you. either way, it's a lot more gratifying than forking over $80+ for something you can have for a lot less. well that's all from me darlings, study calls. kiss kiss!

ps. an alternative to d-i-y is to head to a market or op shop and have a look through their knit section, you're guarunteed to find something for almost nothing. good luck xx

14 days of jumper...day 1

so darlings, i have decided to do a series called '14 days of jumper' because i absolutely adore the gorgeous knits we've had this winter. they are just beautiful. it might not be 14 consecutive days but i'll try and keep it within a small a time frame as possible. we'll start out with something interesting, just to set the ball rolling. this knit from elle shop, which i believe is japanese, but i stand corrected, caught my eye because of the texture and the cute flowers on the front. it's not overdone, but not boring either. i think the nice neutral colour keeps it from looking too busy, while the rich cream shade makes it look as warm as it possibly is. i also love the shape, like many others that are out right now, it's just very flattering and suits most shapes i think. i would personally pair this with my black maxi skirt, to keep the attention on the detail of the jumper. some granny boots/oxfords, maybe a hint of wooden jewellery and a touch of gold or bronze and you'd be good to go :)

ps. if you really love this and have $185 to spare, you can buy it at hfm.co.jp

femme fatale limited edition

i just adore everything about this outfit. except maybe the shoes, i just personally am not a fan of gladiators... but the rest of it is great. classy cas t-shirt, cut off shorts, gorgeous apricot blazer, accented perfectly with a tan belt, trilby and bronze/gold jewellery. just. love. juliet from austria's right on the road to ab fab sweetie darling. fantastic photography too. makes me want to travel.

help requested...

darlings, today's pearl of wisdom (well i hope it's wisdom, perhaps it's a bit pretentious to assume so?) is tinged with sadness, because i lost mine... hopefully just temporarily. it is...

SIGNATURE 'THING'. WHAT MAKES YOU UNIQUELY YOU

in effect, what's that one thing about you that makes people say 'that's her thing' or 'that's so you'?

so, you must know what i'm talking about. Blair's headbands... Holly's huge sunglasses... Gwen's platinum blonde hair... Miranda's white Hermes scarf for those of you who have read The Devil Wears Prada. i could go on forever, but i won't. you probably already have it, that one thing that makes you YOU. if you don't create it. it could be anything. a nail polish colour, a certain pair of shoes, a favorite hat. mine, of course, is the 'versatile scarf' as my friend calls it. actually, i have two, which i alternate between, and usually wear in my hair. it's a recent development, as of this year, and i love it. it goes with everything, i where it everywhere, and it just adds a bit of interest to my outfit, whatever that may be. it's a way to put your own stamp on things, so to speak. it helps to define your style. and in the immortal words of Yves Saint Laurent, "fashion fades. STYLE is eternal." kiss kiss!

pearls of wisdom from 'The Devil Wears Prada' #2...

" 'This... stuff'? Oh. Okay. I see. You think this has nothing to do with you. You go to your closet and you select... I don't know... that lumpy blue sweater, for instance because you're trying to tell the world that you take yourself too seriously to care about what you put on your back. But what you don't know is that that sweater is not just blue, it's not turquoise. It's not lapis. It's actually cerulean. And you're also blithely unaware of the fact that in 2002, Oscar de la Renta did a collection of cerulean gowns. And then I think it was Yves Saint Laurent... wasn't it who showed cerulean military jackets? I think we need a jacket here. And then cerulean quickly showed up in the collections of eight different designers. And then it, uh, filtered down through the department stores and then trickled on down into some tragic Casual Corner where you, no doubt, fished it out of some clearance bin. However, that blue represents millions of dollars and countless jobs and it's sort of comical how you think that you've made a choice that exempts you from the fashion industry when, in fact, you're wearing the sweater that was selected for you by the people in this room from a pile of stuff. "

Meryl Streep was absolutely brilliant in this movie. this is one of my favorite of her little lectures. she is completely brutual when she rips into Andy Sachs in this scene, her delivery is flawless. this is an amazing piece of writing in my humble opinion. and the scene is a personal favorite of mine also, as many of you should know it's the run-through scene quite early in the film. in my eyes it's a perfect parody of the fashion world, though not over-done. A+.

pearls of wisdom from 'The Devil Wears Prada' #1...

"Andy, be serious. You are not trying. You are whining. What is it that you want me to say to you, huh? Do you want me to say, "Poor you. Miranda's picking on you. Poor you. Poor Andy"? Hmm? Wake up, six. She's just doing her job. Don't you know that you are working at the place that published some of the greatest artists of the century? Halston, Lagerfeld, de la Renta. And what they did, what they created was greater than art because you live your life in it. Well, not you, obviously, but some people. You think this is just a magazine, hmm? This is not just a magazine. This is a shining beacon of hope for... oh, I don't know... let's say a young boy growing up in Rhode Island with six brothers pretending to go to soccer practice when he was really going to sewing class and reading Runway under the covers at night with a flashlight. You have no idea how many legends have walked these halls. And what's worse, you don't care. Because this place, where so many people would die to work you only deign to work. And you want to know why she doesn't kiss you on the forehead and give you a gold star on your homework at the end of the day. Wake up, sweetheart. "

The Devil Wears Prada...probably the first time i've encountered a movie that was better than the book upon which it was based. no offense, Laura Weisbeger, i still love you. but really, what an absolutely brilliant piece of prose...delievered beautifully, of course, by the delightful Stanley Tucci. i just love it.

friends do it better...

fell IN LOVE with this on modcloth a while back, but of course i'm a uni student

thus i could not buy it. however, a lovely day spent gallivanting

in the city with a lovely friend led us to 'Friends of Couture', a

truly fabulous store that i highly recommend, for its

sheer cuteness and amazing clothes, accessories, UMBRELLAS!

anyway, one of the first things i spotted and tried on

at this delightful little store was this EXACT. SAME. DRESS.

which happened to be on sale and fit me perfectly.

and while i absolutely did not need it, i was

in need of some retail therapy, and so i bought it!

very pleased with myself right now.

;)

ps, check out the utter fabulousness...

http://www.friendsofcouture.com.au/

http://www.modcloth.com/

a promise kept.

so i said i'd continue the post on tips for paving the uni student's way to fabulous sans the massive guilt trip (not to mention hunger pains) when you blow your hours of putting up with whiny customers on that amazing Alannah Hill coat you just HAD to have, and then there's nothing left for your morning coffee before that painful 8am lecture. and trust me, you NEED. that coffee. almost as much (perhaps more) than you need that wonderful coat. even though Alannah Hill is nothing to be sniffed at, and even if you have the added bonus of a hot lecturer who makes learning all that more appealing. the 8am lecture requires caffeine to take the edge off that 6am start to your day.
but i digress.

my tip for the day is a tried, tested and truly valuable exercise that any university student with limited funds and an unlimited need to scrub up decent no matter the occasion, should try at least twice. here it is...pay attention now...

the wardrobe evaluation.

this extremely practical investment of one's time will save dollars, brain power when one is too sleep-deprived to function, and of course, precious time when getting dressed in the morning. or evening. whatever. the idea is, to take an afternoon or whenever you have a few hours to spare, going through your existing wardrobe and taking inventory of what you actually already own. spend some time looking at each item of clothing, considering the ways in which they could be styled, altered or paired with other garments in order to create a new look. try to mix and match, and most definitely try things on. combinations, accessories, shortening a skirt or layering, the possibilities are endless and soon your outfit options will be too.

all it takes is time, patience, and a little imagination. you may even find things that you forgot you had and still look great on you, or you may decide to have a wardrobe clean out, following which i suggest you discover the magical world of ebay, if you haven't already. or, if turning your pre-loved stuff into cash for new clothes that need love, then up your feel-good-ness and drop stuff off at your local opportunity shop. and while you're there, have a look around for a treasure or two.

the point is, you probably think you have 'nothing to wear' and a closet full of clothes, just like every other fashion minded person out there. when in actual fact, you most likely have a plethora of fabulous just waiting to be discovered behind those doors. let your imagination fly and have a fantastic time. dress-ups isn't just for kids! kiss kiss.

All Class

D-I-Y class # 1

i am a little excited for my first D-I-Y post ever. EEEEEEEEEP. okay, excitement over. here we go.
you will need:
1 pair of plain black (or white) canvas sneakers with shoelaces.
about 3 meters or so of lace in black or white, whatever colour your shoes are not - i don't really know the exact amount, but a way to find out would be to remove the existing laces from the shoes and measure them, and then get the same amount of lace as the combined laces from your shoes.
also, make sure the lace isn't too flimsy, as you don't want these amazing shoes to break.

step one: remove exisitng laces from shoes

step two: cut lace to required length and thread through holes in sneakers

step three: tie in pretty bows and wear with fabulous outfits.

note: this should cost you at the very least, $12 (ish), if you get some inexpensive/secondhand shoes, and lace from a craft store. it might even cost you less. and just quietly, these shoes cost in the $40 range from modcloth, which isn't really all that expensive, but if you can make them for cheaper yourself, why not right?

if i was a rich girl...

but i'm really not. i have decided, that instead of lasting after things i can't have, for a change i'll do a focus on what i CAN have.
and so darlings, i give you...

THE POOR UNI-STUDENT GUIDE TO LOOKING 'AB FAB, SWEETIE DARLING', WITHOUT BURNING HOLES IN YOUR WALLET.

1. Invest in basics. a cliche, but for good reason. if you spend good money on the 'boring' basics such as plain tees, some really decent shoes that will go with everything, a freat pair of jeans (i am personally anti-jeans but they work for a lot of people so there you have it), a classic LBD et cetera, they will last you a long time and can be mixed with all your impulse buys and seasonal purchases.

2. stay away from 'trend-of-the-minute buys, if you can. while the beloved fashion rags and runway shows will insist that 'you have to have' them, that they are a 'must-buy' for the season, more often than not they will be 'in' for about a week and after that you'll never wear them again. additionally, they never seem to go with anything else in your wardrobe, so you have to go on a shopping spree to create outfits that will work around your new splurge. which makes absolutely no sense at all, unless you're fabulously rich. in which case, go crazy.

3. remember the immortal words of Yves Saint Laurent. "Fashion fades, STYLE is eternal." which basically means, fashion is fickle, and will flit into our lives for a moment before changing and disappearing. STYLE is what matters most, and the best way to accomplish style is to establish your own. that's right, be an individual. "I am a cat, and I walk by MYSELF." so find that look that is uniquely you, and wear it loud and proud.

4. D-I-Y, bitches. that's right. Do It Yourself. stumbled upon a deliciously vintage purse whilst clicking through your favorite fashion websites, but deeply disappointed that in order to acquire said purse, you need to scunge up a few hundred dollars that you really don't have? never fear. with a trip to your nearest craft store, some time and patience and a splash of creativity, it CAN be yours. or better yet, your uniquely-you interpretation of the DVP (deliciously vintage purse), which will result in you killing two birds with one stone (refer above tip). and everyone will be asking you where you got your amazing purse, and you can either smile smugly and say you made it yourself, or you can be elusive and mysterious and imply that you did in fact fork over the folding stuff in order to obtain it.

5. Remember the three R's. Reduce, reuse, recycle! how you might ask, does this apply to
your wardrobe? two words. Oppurtunity Shop. in this context, the term includes the obvious - op-shopping, but also extends to markets, independant stores that nobody knows about, overseas and online shopping et cetera. devoting a day to hunt through op-shops, trawl around markets or get your click on at ebay (maybe the last one doesn't have to be a WHOLE day) will REDUCE your spending, REUSE your perspective (imagination, the way you see your existing wardrobe), and RECYLE things that others have wrongfully discarded, but will rightfully fall into your waiting hands, because their potential isn't over yet. and don't worry, op-shopping is SAHHH indie which in case you haven't noticed is in at the moment, and if you are a tiny bit of a snob when it comes to op-shops, remember this: no-one has to know! i personally once found an Allanah Hill top at Savers. i didn't buy it because i didn't like it all that much, but just imagine! Allanah. Hill. need i say more?
on a side note, if you've got an overseas/out-of-town trip coming up, grab oppurtunity by the balls and indulge in both treating yourself (you are on holiday after all) and finding unique and most-likely very inexpensive items to rock your wardrobe.

okay darlings, i could go on forever and a day with this stuff but responsiblity calls, so consider this post to be continued. hopefully in the near future. kiss kiss!

pretty frivolity

modcloth, how i love thee...

the best advice you'll ever read...

...spoken by THE Audrey Hepburn, the goddess herself..


"for attractive lips, speak words of kindness. for lovely eyes, seek out the good in people. for a slim figure, share your food with the hungry. for poise, walk with the knowledge that you will never walk alone. people, even more than things, have to be restored. renewed. revived. reclaimed. and redeemed. never throw out anyone."
