Happenings

Okay I only post every few weeks, but in that time everything builds up in my brain and then sort of settles there until they all fit together.
Dress and 70's magazine

This Women's Weekly from 1972 is brilliant.  I have (willingly or unwillingly) sacrificed some homework time to scan pictures from it.  Excuse the crapola scanning skills.

Enough said?  Her hair is so god damn awesome.

Maire and I before formal.
I'm in an Asos dress, and Maire is wearing Alexander McQueen (I KNOW RIGHT)

Spring + Outfit Post
I call this grandma chic.  I also call it thank-goodness-there-is-sun.

Jumper - Monsoon, Shirt - Sportsgirl, Skirt - Sportsgirl, Shoes - Windsor Smith (Maire's)

Also I've been thinking about movies a lot lately.  Soundtracks, film stills and stuff.  It's funny how they all hold these connotations, and you get a certain feeling when you see a film still or hear a song from a movie.  I like that.

A spot of sun

It's not Big Ben, but it will do.

My friend Maire and I went to Melbourne University to do some studying and pretend we are really scholastic (scholarly + fantastic).  It was really cold but there was this nice little patch of sun, and the grounds of Melbourne Uni are really pretty, so we decided to take some photos!
This is my new skirt from Dangerfield.  I've been looking for a school-girl/pleated skirt for ages and my grandma kindly bought it for me (thanks, grandma!).  The tights are my favourite at the moment, sort of an egg yolk yellow which CLASHES with lots of things.  It's glorious.
I have to admit I got the idea of using rosary beads as a necklace from a post on Meet Me On The Streets.  I actually bought mine in Venice 7 years ago, and I was so happy when I rediscovered it in that tangle of metal I call my jewelry box.
Photos 1, 2 + 3 are by me and 4, 5 + 6 are by Maire.
