Just Deckin' The Halls

Christmas is coming!! Today we put up our Christmas tree! I really love Christmas, our tree is a smattering of different ornaments, from birds with feathers to tassels to chandeliers to baby angels, and with lots and lots of tinsel icicles. I am also really looking forward to the Christmas baking! candy canes in EVERYTHING.















Hairy Mary's Monday

My Nikki gave me a voucher for my Birthday, for one of the coolest shops ever! Hairy Mary's Vintage is a very cute shop in Petone, that sells really cute vintage clothing, but its the atmosphere that makes it so awesome, the clothing is sized by labels saying "twigs" or "curvey" etc, and they sell tea and neenish tarts (both big ups in my book) and have posters of The Clash, the Ramones and fabric hanging from the ceiling. I appreciated it so much.
It took me a long time to get around to shopping there, try 4 months, but it was worth it and it turned into a really fun day, busing around the city with my darling Nikki!
here is the day in photos as well as some of the purchases!

Home Alone.. Kind of

It's almost Christmas! And because of that my parents have ditched me at home and left early for our holiday house up north, heading towards all the glorious sun and leaving me to deal with the windy and rainy so called summer that is Wellington. But one positive has come from this! Jayne is now living with me! And being my slave.. Right now she is lopping off the bottom of an awful pair of shorts I stole from dad so that I can have something to wear to work tomorrow that won't make me look like a complete dork, but can also be wrecked and thrown out at the end of the week. I made dinner though so it all kind of evens out.. She just had her darn wisdom teeth out so dinner has been a bit of a problem for Jayne lately so we had mince as it's fairly soft and Jayne can eat it with out wincing in pain with every bite.. But she did take a freaking age to eat it all which was really quite entertaining for me.

The reason I'm doing the post is because Jayne is concentrating very hard on the shorts that she is doing for me and is also wanting to watch a horrendous tv show so I really have nothing else to do. So I thought I'd do a post to all of our three followers.. That's really starting to make me sad.. I think you can probably tell from my little comments at the bottom of each post.. but we're getting desperate! So I plead yet again at the end of another strange post to anybody out there.. Become a follower! We won't bite! I promise.. So please.. Become a follower.. I'll be your friend..

Peace

New Clothes!

Leading up to summer I always seem to have no clothes, and this year there was no exception with my 3 t shirts and one pair of shorts not looking like being enough. So on Sunday (now I'm working I have to make the most of my weekend) me, mum and Jayne went shopping to update my wardrobe. Taylor (one of our three followers aha) was right and the Tubby Tiga's that I have previously posted about were down to $80 so I quickly snatched those up. I also got two Luuk t shirts, a designer I had never heard of before then but really like, cheap American Apparel t shirt and some Hufffer cut offs! All fairly simple but staples for my summer wardrobe.. Photos below! Comment and subscribe aha.

Latelatelate

i am so late with this post. not that its very exciting, but its terribly late.
so when it was fashion week here in New Zealand, my fashion class was lucky enough to have received tickets to Cybele's show. it was so exciting to be going to a proper fashion show.
last year we went to the public shows, which wasn't the same.
this year, was fantastic. cybeles show was amazing. and not to sound like some ridiculous stalker, but i totally saw Rumi of Fashiontoast.com !
i had a sneaking suspicison she would come to our fashion week, becuase on her site she mentioned how much she loves stolen girlfirends club clothing. However, it turned out she was there to write for the fashion show diaries, and to generally give Air New Zealand Fashion week as much publicity as possible.

all in all it was a fun trip, and it showed me many windows into the fashion industry... as undecided as i am.




Film Camera

Jack has gotten hold of some film cameras, and in doing so, he sort of started off wee experiment slash exploration. we're playing with film cameras, exposure etc.. heres a few photos we've taken! (all photos are photos of the printed photos...)













these are mostly taken by jack! see theres even some double exposure.. i think on accident, but it still has a cool effect.
hopefully now that both Jack and I are free from exams and school, we'll be able to play around a lot more. however film is expensive to develop!
