Daily Outfit: Friday Funtimes!

Some days you feel like wearing a (faux) fur coat and a tutu. And that's okay.

I've never done a jumping shot before. Whee!

This beautiful brooch belonged to my grandma.

Got some funny looks at Uni but fewer at the pub. Great day!

Just a minute in July

It's finally August! Just one month of winter left, baby!



Reading... departure boards, lots of books, University notes.

Listening... to Phoenix still, Band of Horses (hurray!), thunderstorms, the new Jonsi album (so good!), The National (comme toujours) etc....

Watching... the weather report in many cities, an Audrey Hepburn film in bed, my mom clear out the house of worldly possessions, some sneaky episodes of The Amazing Race.

Buying... bus tickets, dinners out (still!), red wine, it.

Wanting... a few things - I'm compiling a mental shopping list as my birthday's coming up, not to be back at Uni (that enthusiasm lasted long, didn't it?!), not to be allergic to animals, a few extra degrees on the thermometer when I hop out of the shower.

Making... plans yet procrastinating on overdue projects, music with my band, cutbacks in many areas of my life.

Loving... red wine on cold nights, time spent with friends, lazy mornings in bed, apples as sustenance, cycling on pumped-up tyres, feeling proactive and that I'll achieve good things, time out for reading, my heart ring (still - voodoo), wearing a (faux) fur coat to Uni, having my hair washed, being upgraded to business class, family fun times, a very musical month.


How are you all coping out there? Let's make lists and make things happen.

Daily Outfit: Running late

Still madly rushing about! I'm finding it hard to adjust to the Uni routine once more. That coupled with late-night assignmenting, cold mornings and a highly tempting snooze button....

I try to look my best for my faithful fans.

Daily Outfit: Still hurrying about

Hardly time to eat!





I've noticed from the way I'm dressing that I'm looking forward to winter ending. Even though I seemed to have not minded the cold as much this year (perhaps due to a fuzzy cat on my lap?), my skirts and short sleeves indicate a yearning for the sun to shine. Let's hope we can squeeze in a little more clever layering before the mercury rises once more?

Daily Outfit: In a Rush

Here's my version of a lazy-day outfit for those 9am starts.

Daily Outfit: Back to Uni

I don't look too impressed, do I?!

Daily Outfit: Wine with Swans

Sunny Sundays are best spent touring vineyards.

And drinking micro-brewery beer!

Ooh dear. Watch out for that stubbly chin.

Check out where my rock lobster crawled to!

It was such a treat to be in short sleeves in the sunshine. When I returned back to Adelaide that night it was jacket on.

Daily Outfit: Winter Festival

Great weekend in Perth listening to some fun bands.

A cold day calls for layering.

Waiting for The Strokes. Teenage-era goodness!

Wednesday Wrap-up

Oh Dear. I'm very, very tired after staying up late working on an assignment. But I thought I'd better drop a line after last week's poor effort. Sorry about that, once again.

So, the story for this week? I went back to Uni on Monday. I was excited about it; now, not so much. None of my lectures have managed to engage me thus far. I'm crossing my fingers but not holding my breath, if you know what I mean.

But why talk about education when there are more exciting things at hand? After sneaking into the city after band for some red wine and novel reading (novel novel reading?) last Wednesday night I had a most productive Thursday. Followed by an excellent Thursday eve. Yippee!

The manfriend dropped me at the airport Friday morning (bless) for yet another of my little trips interstate. This time, Perth, to visit my new nephew. Amongst some seriously good grub, I rocked along to.......

I got to see Band of Horses (again!) and The Strokes, whom I haven't seen since BigDayOut way back when. Excellent day and night with my sister and her partner (despite some youngfolk in the crowd who haven't yet figured out what kosher festival behaviour is).

Lying in (a fold-out) bed on Friday night, I thought about having a break from drinking for a week. Not that it's a major problem for me, but I just thought it'd be a reasonable thing to do (the winter red wine intake has been quite substantial...) Unfortunately those thoughts didn't last as it was a pub lunch on Saturday and touring wineries in the Swan Valley on Sunday. Tee hee! And of course I wouldn't say no to wine with my meal on the plane home. Thanks, QANTAS!

So that's about it for me. Back to Uni. Grumble. Back to using my diary, making lists, staying in to study. Getting organised feels good though.

Oh, and I saw this band last night.


Rock n' Roll.....

Daily Outfit: This is Love

I travelled to Perth on Friday to visit my nephew.





I love him to bits but I ended up being ridiculously allergic. Oh dear!
