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!



Nikki as a stunning 18 yr old



Her delicious Birthday cake, mad by her darling sister Katie! soo yum. rubix-cakey goodness!



our collaborative present for Nikki! full of memories and awesomeness

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.

P.P.S.- Man do i wish New Zealand had cobbled stones streets and foot paths.. it would make life that little bit better.

Say no to "Tha Bomb"

So some of you may have heard (or not) that there are people among use that are trying to bring back the horrible expression that is "tha Bomb" but we cannot allow this to happen.
I'm not trying to say that it was always a horrible expression, I mean back when it was cool I used to love it, in fact i was probably on of those loser kids that didn't hear it until as it was fazing out so I kept saying it when it was uncool, but we're done with that faze of slang! It's just not right to go around trying to bring back these kind of expressions, just leave them in retirement!

So I beg those of you that are reading this blog, please don't make Wellington/New Zealand the loser kid that gets bullied by all the other cities and countries around the world! (I mean we are New Zealand it's not like we need to give people more reason to bully us)

So SAY NO TO "THA BOMB"

Man Jewelry

Yet another thing that i want but will never be able to afford. I've just been cruising the net and looking at blogs and onine shops to check out what's the haps for the winter collections and just what looks cool, as I usually do I ended up on Good As Gold's online store and checked out the man jewelry!
There's some pretty nice necklaces but nothing to outstanding, but there were these two rings by Chronicles Of Never, they're freaking sweet. They were nice and big and were made of oxidized silver, with some nice and intricate designs on them.

So here you go!

My Favourite!

And Second favourite!

Op Shop

The other day Captain Jack had a mediocre shopping experience with his Mummy-Darling. He went out, spent three hours shopping and came home with a very cool Cheap Monday tartan shirt, and a whole lot of disappointment!

So i thought to help with his small clothing crisis, we could go Op Shopping!
of course lacking in any real form of mobility, we really only managed to get to one, but it was worth it!


some adorable glasses i found, $2.50 and the prescription so thick that i cant really tell how they look on me!




Jack got a lovely navy blue cardigan! a must need for everyone's wardrobe.


My Pink and white shirt, reminds me of a candy cane! fun!

But sadly in the End Jack didn't find much else. But the Blue Cardigan was only $4 or so, i think we can put that down to a successful shop! (especially since i spent $19 and got two pairs of glasses a bag, a sewing pattern, a cd, a woolen jersey, and a shirt.. AWESOME)

I HEART OP SHOPS
