well it’s less than a month till southbound now (awesome camping festival down south) and i’m getting my wardrobe organised.
went shopping today and found the most perfect bag! it’s this really awesome print and it just the right size for me to hold everything i need to but not need to be checked every single time i go in or out an entrance.
i also found two pairs of shorts, a duffle bag, and some much needed new underwear.
so this is outfit number 1. its new denim shorts with a really awesome rose belt, my favourite black minkpink shirt, a black headband with a bow on it, and a wickid pink leather bracelet. and of course the new bag…
And im lovin it…
I love living by myself
I love cooking without worrying about other peoples tastes
I love being able to lounge in my pj’s straight after work
I love being able to watch my reality trash (projectrunway, top chef, come dine with me) without being judged
I love not having to talk to anyone…
I love my lifestyle… Just as it is…
Outfit was just the tights and socks i wore to work with a cute pair of grey (cotton on) shorts, with my silversun pickups shirt…
I just loved the red shirt – pink tights combo… Plus its super comfy
Also shouts to instagram – awesome pic sharing and simple maniulation program…
so while i’m waiting for my how i met your mother season 1 – 5 box set to arrive (it will be posted on the 28th and im very impatient) i’ m revisiting one of my style inspirations – lily…
i love her style – and if i could let myself get carried away with a credit card i totally would be in the same situation…
today i’ve paired my charcoal work shorts with a pair of black pixie boots in a lily-inspired combination… one striped sock and one polka dot sock – but they’re both the same shade of pink and black so they totally match…
What a beautiful face I have found in this place That is circling all round the sun What a beautiful dream That could flash on the screen In a blink of an eye and be gone from me Soft and sweet Let me hold it close and keep it here with me, me
the perfect day for listening to neutral milk hotel was actually Saturday night – in a campsite in the middle of nowhere National Park with my number one love of my life, my boyfriend J – but i hadn’t started blogging again then so it will have to do now…
i’m still lost as to the purpose of this blog – i love the concept of fashion blogging but there’s only so many ways to wear a work uniform – i love music, but was never talented enough to produce it, nor well educated enough to write about anything except what i loved – i love technology but fail to understand the underlying concepts – i love watching sports but not playing them which renders most opinions invalid to the sports lovers – i love to sit down and read a book but never high literature – i am a lover of many things and a master of none of them….
one of my many nicknames is sparkles and my sparkles-ness is what makes me, me.
im still not sure why i was dubbed sparkles – the best i’ve been told is because that’s what i do, i sparkle… i suppose like sparkling wine – it’s the sparkles that make it something fizzy and delicious…
the highlight of my day was cycling down to the river, with half a packet of strawberries and cream lollies, half a bottle of passion-pop in a sports bottle (oh so classy), a maggie alderson novel, and a picnic blanket. i recycled an old white dress with a lace detail over a new pair of grey shorts with a grey belt from a different pair of shorts. an awesome bulky pink necklace and a bow in my hair…
pics aren’t great – but they capture the mood, the blue sky, and the stillness of the river…
