Daily Outfit: Deep Purple

In a quest to wear more colour, I tried this skirt again for school. Mostly win, except for almost falling up stairs the whole day.

Daily Outfit: Pigment Pressure

On these grey winter days, I really feel the pressure to maintain spirits by decking myself out in bright hues. Here was a day when nothing jumped out at me so I got dressed because I had to. Doesn't it show! Many other fellow teachers commented that I wasn't very bright and were concerned! Thank goodness winter is (slowly) coming to an end. Vive spring!

A couple of others...

Remember how I said I wasn't very materialistic and didn't want much for my birthday? Ha!


I've thought of a couple more.

The new Lonely Planet guide to Vietnam for an upcoming adventure

Amazing Face, by the always hilarious Zoe Foster
(sorry about the lack of umlaut situation)

Any other requests? Suggestions?

Daily Outfit: Swinger

Just a fortnight ago, before my entire garden was ripped up.

The Birthday Bug

Source

My 25th birthday is just two short weeks away but admittedly I haven't given very much thought to how I want to celebrate. That's not good sport!

All I've got:

Cupcake picnic

Cheese Party

Go-Karting

Treasure Hunt

And on the materialistic front? Things I desire?

Shorts for running

Fishnet stockings (mine all have ... holes?)

A haircut

Lovely fresh bedsheets and perhaps a new set of towels

I'm not easy to buy for...

Daily Outfit: Stormy skies

Layered up for brunch and Sunday times.

Five Things

The German sailing ship Alexander von Humboldt in the Tall Ships' Races 2003.

Hello you! What mischief have you been up to this week? Here's what's floating my boat.

Playing detective. All I need is a (polkadot!) trench and a pork pie hat!

Going for long runs.

Making positive steps towards producing my own Happiness Handbook, or something of the sort. It may manifest itself as a zine, seeing as I have access to photocopiers and coloured paper. Whee!

Walks around my neighbourhood, seeing what's new, patting cats and taking photos of flowers.

Continuing to challenge myself cinematically, given my film predilections are somewhat limited.

And the not-so-happy-times?

• Manfriend coming off his bike at speed and getting all scraped up


• Winter ennui back again this year


• Having trouble finding a decent place to rent


• Feeling as though I'm not giving teaching my full attention

She'll be right! What books are you reading? What flowers are you sniffing? What TV shows are you really into at the moment? When are you next going to the theatre? Send your friends a thank you text! Book a nice restaurant for this weekend! Start planning your summer holidays!

Daily Outfit: When in Russia?

This little furry hat that I wore last weekend (or the one before? Eek!) reminds me a bit of Russia.








Lunch in the city and a late afternoon stroll round the Botanic Gardens. Super day!

Daily Outfit: With the Lady herself!

Hot pink velvet for the fabulous Ms Chew's solo art exhibition

Daily Outfit: Covered up

I reckon this may just have been a Frock Friday, not that you'd know with me all covered up like that! So cold outside. I miss winter warmth.
