nothingness

its a cold siunday evening. I'm wearing my mum's generic black turtle neck woolen jumper. i absolutley love it. i'm finding that winter has put me in a new mood with my clothing. i have heavily gotten into black (its been a long time coming) and i suddenly find myself hating all my clothing.
this could be because i've lost some variety as i had to clear out my drawers drastically as they were breaking under the sheer weight of my clothing. but i also have a feeling that its because i have a tendency to avoid rewearing an "outfit"
(unless at home). and as its becoming colder and colder, the clothes i can wear are becoming more and more limited! i either need to go op shopping or make something. Both!


this little guy used to belong to the irish club, after a veeery long time they decided that he really didnt fit in, so he came to a better home.

The Mad Birthday Weekend

Jack and I have had a full on week with birthdays. What is it about June?? seriously! its just annoying.
not only do two of my best friends have their birthday on the same day, but that also happens to be Jacks Dad's Birthday!
so this weekend was a bit nutso for us all!
popping from one place to another, shopping furiously printing photos for presents.. madness!
but it all turned out well in the end, they all turned one year older.

Nikki And Zoe (two of my oldest friends) turned 18! Jono turned 17, and My darling sister turned 21 (in GREECE!), happy birthday to you all!
and to all those other June-ians!

peace out yo :)

damn ants

As the winter sets in.. it appears that the ants are also seeking shelter in the comfort of our home.

usually they freak me out. the thought of them crawling all around the place is just too much for me. When they're downstairs its fine. but not in my room! its to close.. for all i know they could be living on me during the night.. having tiny ant parties. so i decided to nip it in the bud... now I'm just worried my darlings cats will eat the poison!

ps i really only took photos of them cos i had my dads fancy camera :)

holy crap

Whilst checking the blogs i read, i saw these. I'm always amazed by the shoes i see on JAK&JILL BLOG, but when i saw these, i wondered how one could walk in them, but i noticed the detailing on the jeans!

Iwas given the idea to do that unraveling type thing by my darling sister, she sent me to a "DIY" post where it explained the long process. Unfortunately my attempt didn't go so well.. it was so time consuming and the end product wasn't really worth it. It just sits weirdly, most probably because i used the wrong sort of tee shirt.

BUT this has given me an idea for a jeans project i kind of have going (by kind of i mean i haven't actually started yet, but fully intend to start soon). hmmm.. oh the possibilities.

i really do love DIY fashion.
