holidays

dress (as skirt): silence & noise, t-shirt: cotton on, shoes: k-mart, jacket: op shop, sunglasses: my boyfriend's.

And to make up for this basically being an outfit repeat here are some photos from a recent holiday I went on:

Are you guys sick of this whole using-photobooth-to-blog thing I've been doing lately? ME TOO! I actually just took a bunch of photos with my camera and then realised I don't know where the cord for it is. Hopefully I've just left it at someone's house and I'll be back to proper photos next time. But for now photobooth will have to do.

I'd been wanting a grey crop top to wear over this dress for SO long and when I went to the mall on Friday I not only found one, but it was on sale. I also got this dress on sale and I am in love with it:

It's got little seagulls all over it and cute frills up the top and it was from Tokito. Get ready to see a lot of photos of me wearing this all summer. And please excuse my messy bedroom, I'm in the middle of tidying/re-organising everything.

Also I'm about to start messing with my blog layout and adding some more blogs to my blog roll list on the side so if you've got FAT AUS on yours and/or want me to add you to my blog roll please let me know (unless your blog is dedicated to weight loss because sorry dudes, I'm not interested in reading that). I've just started using Disqus for my comments so I can actually reply to people (since blogger is a jerk and doesn't allow that) so the comment page might look a bit different, but better!

This is the sort of weird stuff my boyfriend and I end up doing while taking photos haha

fate.

I've never been the sort of person who believes in fate or the one or "everything happens for a reason" but recently something has started to change my mind. You might remember these shoes from my August Wishlist. They were on Nasty Gal for $145 but with shipping and the currency exchange I was looking at paying about $250 and I just couldn't justify the cost.

A few weeks later I signed up to ebay after a self-imposed six year ban due to a little bit of an ebay addiction. The first shoes I saw were leopard platforms, not as pretty as the Jeffrey Campbell ones but they were cute and in my size and going for about $50. I bid, I won and I asked the seller if it was okay for me to pay them a few days later. When the day I was going to pay came around suddenly the seller was no longer a registered ebay user and then some things started to add up - the fact that they had asked me to deposit the money into their bank account instead of paypal, the fact that they were selling some other things using only stock photos - basically it become pretty clear that they were a scammer so I was lucky I hadn't paid but I was really sad I wasn't going to get my dream shoes.

About a week after that I was sadly browsing ebay when I saw my dream shoes! Jeffrey Campbell leopard platforms in my size and at a reasonable price. I got some advice from ebay experts (don't bid until the last 30 seconds), I set alarms on my phone to remind me and everything came together perfectly and I won. A few days later they were delivered to my door and we have been living happily ever since.

I still don't believe in fate or "the one" when it comes to dudes, but with shoes... well I'm starting to think it's a different story.

Spring has sprung!

dress: silence & noise, jacket: vintage, shoes: forever21, necklace: glebe markets, sunglasses: sportsgirl, cat: garfield, over-ground backyard courtesy of my boyfriend.

I was also wearing this ring from forever21 but this happened right as we were about to take a photo of it:

Another ring I bought from them broke the first time I wore it, but I guess that's to be expected when you're paying under $5.

Sorry for my lack of posts, my boyfriend/photographer was out of town and I hate using my self-timer. In other news I'm trying out a middle part with my hair and I'm becoming addicted to ebay again so you can look forward to some great new shoes in a post sometime next week.
