A day before this lunch, I rocked up to Adelaide Uni for one last time (perhaps?) to graduate.
Celebrated with a photoshoot, lunch and fizz.

Daily Outfit: Last day of Term
How dare I state that this was the last day of school? Clearly I forgot that on the last day I dressed up as an Easter egg.
On the plane to Perth the other day I heard a little girl state quite confidently that "Year One is over". She wasn't convinced by her mom's contradiction.

Daily Outfit: Bestriped
Long-time readers will have observed that stripes are a bit of a thing at Sequin Cat HQ. Not being one to do things by halves....
Running errands then acting as Australian ambassador to a visiting party of Frenchies. Whee!

Daily Outfit: Dylan
Although papa wasn't so appreciative of this get-up, other punters at the Bob Dylan concert were!
Something... different.

Wednesday Wrap-up (whenever you please)
An excuse for not getting this in on time? How about a muchos crazy week hosting two French musicians, acting as unofficial interpreter at events with the Lord Mayor, manfriend's staff Easter party, rehearsal after rehearsal culminating in marching down Rundle Street on Saturday and a full day of competing on Sunday then the usual ANZAC day activities before flying to Perth on Tuesday for a brief, two day real holiday?

Daily Outfit: Emerald Lobster
I know I've been wearing clothes since the last day of school, but my camera must have been waylaid somewhere....
I lost the emerald button for this crazy jacket one night at the pub so made do with a lobster brooch.

Daily Outfit: Mix up
COLD at school! Nice when things come together; I like these items separately but together they work too.

Wednesday Wrap-up
What a week!
He graduated. I graduated. He finished his first term of Honours. I finished my first term of teaching. I spent the whole weekend (and every night) at band practice. I ate so much good food! Drank champagne all afternoon long. Got into evening naps (5-6pm, with the lights on). Dropped off my car for repairs. Figured out in my journal how to make myself happy again. Thought in French. Lunched with lovelies (hello!) Saw Bob Dylan. Went for rides in the sunshine.
To come? BANDBANDBAND then Perth. Hosting French guests! Hopefully seeing friends amongst all the chaos and translations.

The Wedding
Despite extensive googling and tineye searches, original source unknown. It's an editorial from a foreign Marie Claire/Vogue (I think!) If you remember where it's from, please let me know.
This is about how excited I feel regarding the upcoming Royal Wedding. Am I the only person in the blogosphere that won't be glued to the TV/internet in a week's time watching two people get married? I'm more excited about my sister's wedding at the end of the year.
Then again, if my friends were to organise a theme party I could be persuaded....

Daily Outfit: Arriba!
Terrible photo. Quick snap of what I wore to Mexican dinner date a couple of weekends ago. Our taxi driver was hilarious, asking us "Where are you from?" implying that he didn't think our attire was reminiscent of Earthlings....

Daily Outfit: Cottoning on
Was given a verbal slap on the wrist by a good friend today for undisciplined blogging - not chronicling every outfit and going days between posts.
Things have been.... hectic around here as of late. I won't go into details, but the last week of school combined with multiple demanding commitments has left this cat pressed for time and stretched to her limit. TIRED.
Onwards and upwards, yes?

Wednesday Wrap-up
Another day, another post via iPhone?
I can't say it's been as simple as that. Energising band rehearsals and exhausting days at school. The weekend spent cleaning my room, napping and, er, marching down Rundle Mall. Thank goodness my students didn't see me!
In other news, I really didn't enjoy Sucker Punch as a movie (poor choice, manfriend!) but liked watching early early Jonathan Creek and also the original Jurassic Park with my science students.
Tant mieux pour les vacances.

Les vacances
I am hankering for holidays! The term is just a week too long and I'm out of juice. Too much marking and too much planning.
Thinking, thinking, dreaming.

Daily Outfit: the Blues
I've missed a few outfits here and there - Saturday soirée pizza date, Monday night French film, weekend at home. Hope you'll forgive me!

Daily Outfit: Librarian?
As I was riding through the racecourse, a fellow cyclist slowed down to tell me "The librarian look.. I like it!"
Speechless.

Mag Hag
I almost bought myself the latest copy of French Vogue this afternoon for want of something to flick through. Then I remembered the billions of old magazines I have piling up around me at home and decided against it. Plus, I have an overloaded blog reader to get through first!
Channeling Star Trek
I've been sporting a rather unfortunate look as of late due to infection.
The Klingon look is so 2012.

Wednesday Origami
Things have been a bit crazy at Camp Sequin Cat as of late. I haven't forgotten you all my dears! The work/life thing is hard though, innit? I'm trying to do it all but am ending up exhausted and behind in my work. C'est la vie.
Loving listening to French radio stations. I have a debate on nuclear power on in the background while I do my marking or read a book. Strangely relaxing but pleased the connaissance is still there.
What's new pussycats?

Mulberry hydrangeas
Flicking through the March issue of UK Vogue the other night at band practice I was in awe of the beautiful styling behind the latest Mulberry campaign.
And just who is responsible? The delightful Mr Tim Walker, of course...
(My very lucky friend has a copy of his coffee table book and it is absolutely wonderful for inspiration!)
Daily Outfit: Sports Day
It was Sports Day at school last week and while my team (green and yellow, obvs) didn't win, I enjoyed the atmosphere and the break from school.
I helped out with the shotput!

Daily Outfit: The 'net
Are fishnets okay for school attire when worn with a knee-length skirt and a boatneck top? Un peu française, non?
Staff and students alike love the jacket.

Just a minute in March
They don't call it Mad March for nothing. What with work, manfriend, family, Fringe, Womad and a weekend away I'm surprised I managed to keep my head on! Just.
Reading... not enough! I'm so tired after school that I get through two or three pages in bed before my eyes close. I did, however finish Gatsby and the light novel that complemented it. I'm deciding what to devour next.
Listening... to the radio in the car in the morning, to hold music while on the phone, to rain and wind while I'm working, to music from around the planet at Womadelaide.
Wishing... friends well! Lots of babies born this month and birthdays galore.
Watching... the new season of Amazing Race that my dad kindly started downloading.
Buying... a jacket and a bag, some new underwear, red lipstick. Definitely not shoes.
Wanting... for little! Not looking forward to the onset of cold weather (I get chilly bones) but so far autumn is lovely. Even though my day to day is starting to wear thin I have lots of lovely things to look forward to.
Cooking... rarely and getting to the end of the week with an empty lunchbox. Oops.
Making... birthday plans for the manfriend, arrangements in the diary, teaching progress (I think...)
Loving... him, simply.
Was your March locco? How did it compare to février?
