Which Shoe.............

Couldn't decide which shoe to wear. The purple envelope boots or the Sandler shoes from the 80's made from nubuck suede. I love them both :) The muddy red t-shirt is my new favorite, it looks good with so many other shades, especially pinks and purples..................

What I wore to buy sausages today at the Vic Market.......

Thought I might try smiling today, just for shits and giggles; looks better than surly face :)
Todays outfit consists of thrifted top and skirt, wittner boots and 50's green belt - free from outside the kinki gerlinki clearance sale last year and last but definitely not least, my little darling Tina on my shoulder :)

What I wore yesterday.........................

I wore this yesterday to a barbeque in which I made polenta chips - yum yum :)
Not an huge fan of my lily white legs and slightly hostile/serious facial expression, but I always feel like a bit of a dick taking self portraits. Either the smile looks fake or just forced/wrong. Anywho, outfit consists of thrifted boyfriend blazer, supre shorts, ids top, wittner boots and alannah hill socks, heart lollypop pendant necklace - tatty devine.

My New Years Outfit....................

I might as well post this one before it's no longer relevant. The dress was a Christmas gift, and it's by Stylestalker, I love the teal colour, the crepe fabric, the hood, and the zippered pockets. I'm going to wear it to Big Day Out next weekend, but with my combat boots, not the beau coops shoes in the picture. Anyway, I have a slight problem. Somehow on New Years, I managed to get white chewing gum on the back of the dress and it's noticeable. Not sure if this is right, but I was thinking of using some cooking oil to remove the gum, then once that's gone use something else to remove the oil???? If anyone out there has successfully removed chewing gum from fabric, please share your methods - thanks :)

Sandra Dee.......

I discovered Sandra Dee recently whilst watching "imitation of life" made around 1958. But upon further research discovered she had quite a sad life as many child stars do. So now I just want to get into some more 50's movies. How awesome is this paper dolls book!! I would have frothed at the mouth as kid to have this.

Happy 2011

I hope everyone enjoyed themselves on new years. I went to the pub I always go to, had a ball, got a taxi without any fuss at all and was home by about 3am. Great success!!

The lovely dress i'm wearing was given to me by a pregnant friend. It's a maternity dress that her father bought for her in Turkey, she gave it to me because her partner told her she looked like a Polish cheese farmer in it!! (not that there's anything wrong with cheese farmers - imagine all that tasty cheese :) ) I'm so in love with this dress - the patterned part of the dress is a pinwale cord fabric. it's so comfortable too. Also, I would just like to add that i'm not pregnant myself :)

Folksy Feel...................

It has been an age since I last did an outfit post. Now that classes have finished for the year, I need to keep busy and regular posting will help me stay out of boredom or too much thinking!!!
Anyhoo, the outfit has a distinctively 70's folk/hippy vibe methinks. Skirt: 1990's Sportsgirl, Clogs Marcus B, Belt - opshop/thrifted, black resin bangle - It Was Me, Green striped resin bangle from Corky Saint Clair under Flinders Street Station. The clay beads around my neck are thrifted/op-shopped.
