Midnight stars.

Today I wore out my vintage beaded top that I thrifted awhile back. I am an utter magpie when it comes to sparkly and shiny things, and somehow it's always more fun to wear sequins during the day, no?

It was amazingly beautiful weather today which was so lovely. I spent the day stomping around downtown, buying Russh, sewing the bodice of a new dress, and being shown around the fashion building by my lovely friend Joseph. So darn excited to study there next year!

Let it happen.

My mind has been overflowing with inspiration as of late. Here's a small collection of images to descibe my dreams at the moment.

It's awfully chilly down here at the moment and I'm lusting madly after days where shorts and tanks constitute an outfit. Those lazy hazy crazy days of summer...

In the meantime I am: having a lot of fun with friends, hunting down cheap mens clothing, fabric shopping, baking treats for my lovelies, living on the american apparel website, drinking huge mugs of tea, resting in flannelette sheets, OD-ing on diet coke, hoarding more keys...

Wishing. And hoping.

That dreams will all come true.

Dukebox

Remember how I said I was attaching everything to skirts? Oh yes, I was speaking literally.

On a caffeine high the other day I decided that sewing keys onto clothing would be the best thing since sliced bread. And this skirt definatly hasn't let me down. Not only is it sparkly and shiny, but it also turns into my own personal dukebox when I walk, making me feel like dancing spontaneously at any given moment. Fun times guarenteed.

Battle gear

So crazy excited about my latest acquisition: the most perfect skull ring!

I have been looking for one for zonks so its awfully exciting. There's a jewellery store on Lorne Street in Auckland city with the most insane rings in all sorts of vicious and macarbe designs. I have a sneaking suspicion I will be visiting a lot in the future...

The benefit of having tiny hands and fingers is that rings are automatically more chunky and offensive. The teeth on the skull are a tad sharp also, which makes it a million times more fun. Self defence in its finest form.

Dusk till Dawn

This skirt is quite possibly the cheapest I have made yet- $2.00 and completely breaking my bank balance. It's a fantastic furnishing fabric that I studded pannels onto, although only one side is visible here.

I wore it out last night with a gorgeous lace-sided leotard I picked up at Supre awhile ago. It has the most fabulous low back, although (again) it's not all too visible here. Jeepers, I really should have thought more about what I was photographing!

It was a fun outfit to wear though, and we all had a wonderful night. Going hunting for skull rings the next morning definatly made it a good time all around.

R is for Romance

I came across this gorgeous collection by Chris Craymer, titled 'Romance'. Its unbelievibly beautiful and so sweetly perfect.

I'm an utter romantic, and this series definatly made my day.

Love love!
