Stream of consciousness

I love messy, unwashed hair, pastel colours, sheer fabrics and lace. I think the most magical time of the day is sunrise. I love daisy's, I don't care much for roses, and I love lettuce plants. I think every girl should be two things: happy and relaxed. I think every guy should be two things: happy and relaxed. I think vegetable gardens, bunny rabbits, high heels and love are the keys to happiness. I think we should all stop and count our blessings. I don't believe anyone has the right to think another being is beneath them. I think everyone should read 'The Beautiful and Damned" by F. Scott Fitzgerald. I believe sunshine cures all unhappiness. More than anything I dislike arrogance. More than anything I love hugs. Painted toenails will put a smile on your face. Hummus on salad is heaven on earth. Lace bra's make any day brighter.

"People will stare. Make it worth their while."

With exams just around the corner, study-breaks are a "must".

Drenched

I love bus rides and tend to day dream on them, so it was a bit of a surprise to get off the other day only to find it was pouring down with rain around me. It was rather fun to be honest, walking home in the thundering rain while other people squeeled, ran and got rather angry around me.

Something that irritates me greatly is how girls are forever going on about their hair going frizzy in the rain. I admit I have in the past been this person, but now I just do not care. Life's too short, and crazy hair is such fun to laugh at!

Sans Stella

Anyone remember the phenomenal Stella McCartney boots similar to these? I fell head over heels in love with them when I first saw them but tried to forget about them as they were far out of my price range. However... I saw these insane Siren boots the other day and the love was 100% reignited. Hello my new best friends.

I wore them out last night for a lot of fun amidst the bitter cold. They kept my toes toasty warm, calming me somewhat even when I had my phone lost/stolen. Ah, the sweet highs and lows of life.

Happy face.

Saturday night I went out with my three best friends for some long over-due catching up. 'Twas a wonderful time. I wore my favourite body suit, a nude American Apparel one. It makes me so happy, although I have had some unpleasent comments when wearing it recently. People can be mean!

Little fact of the day- I hate having my photo taken when out. Hence the fabulously flattering facial expressions.

Reunited and it feels so good

Funny story behind this shirt. It was my sisters and I have wanted it since I was about ten. Due to sisterly love, I was never allowed it (all of you with sisters know what I'm talking about!) despite her not liking it. Ah, the joys of childhood.

I forgot about it until a while ago when my sister, now 22, was clearing out her closet and was going to give it away. I pounced on it, crazy with excitement. Nine years is a long time to wait.

Bows to the rescue

Bows instantly put a smile on my face. They are fun, feminine and so darn cute that they instantly make any occasion a hundred times more exciting. I've been wanting to experiment with using scarves to tie bows, so today I had a go. The fabric wasn't ideal as my bow tended to sag a tad, but overall it made my day that bit brighter.

What's your item that instantly brightens your day? I'd love to hear them, so I can create a 'list' of sorts to experiment with! x

Sweet dreams are made of these

Beautiful Sundays. Sweet dreams are made of these:

• Lula magazine. The first I've managed to get my hands on. Yes, I am now in love.
• Painting nails in french pink
• Banana, Natures Path cereal and soymilk.
• Triple-layered wool socks
• Drooling over interior books
• Finishing The Beautiful and Damned by F. Scott Fitzgerald
• Raw courgette 'pasta' with spicy baked tofu
• Drinking far too many pots of green christmas tea
• Watching the rain pound down my windows
• Reading Gala Darling
• Playing with my crazy adorable cat
• Watching Gossip Girl
• Contemplating these shoes
• Loving every minute of life.

Creature Comforts

A day spent at home working on assignments calls for some comfortable, cosy clothes.

My first foray into the world of leggings, and yes, I cheated and only wore them at home. So insanely comfortable though! I never want to get dressed to go out ever again!

Since I felt a tad lazy with no makeup and only socks on my feet, I decided to give my hair the start treatment and attempted braids of sorts...

Going Dotty

I snaffled up these cute polka-dot tights at Farmers the other day. It always disappoints me how childrens departments have such a huge array of adorable, bright-coloured socks and tights, and the adults are pretty much just black opaques. These are a perfect comprimise.

Along with them I found the most gorgeous pair of sheer tights with back-seam and bows. Call me crazy, but I swear I had heart palpatations.

Lavender Lady

So much for posting every day! Hmm.

Yesterday I took a much needed break from assignments and flew to Wellington for the day with my mother to see the Monet and the Impressionists exhibition at Te Papa. SO AMAZING. It was phenomenal seeing all these increadibly beautiful pieces of art. So very thankful I had this opportunity.

I also managed to pick up a few brilliant magazines while hiding out in Borders. Heaven!
