snapped by love thy muse

A slight little while ago (the bare legs kinda give away the pre-winter date this was taken) the ever so excellent and stylish Heidy of Love Thy Muse snapped a couple shots of me on a particularly girly day (so much pink!) and shared some darn lovely words (plus the rumour that I would be Sydney-bound post-London trip - but I can happily say I'm in Perth for a little while longer, turns out this town has a stronger hold on me than I thought!) Featuring probably my favourite jumper in the world and some of the comfiest heels I own.

ride away with me

THIS WEEK HAS BEEN GREAT. Because I have a new possession in my life to treasure like no other - a new bike! I've been after a new one for a while now, and am so pleased to introduce this beauty into my life. I can't wait for the weather to warm up (though I realise it's hardly looking wintery in these photos) so I can take her to the beach, pack a wee picnic, visit friends, pick flowers, whatnot! My life is soon going to be a montage of picturesque bicycle romance.

ruffle happy

Warning: this is a VERY happy post. I have a new camera in my mitts, you see. Please see below for examples of said happiness...

Feels so good to have a camera again, man. And of course the first set of photos I take are myself dancing like a dork. Obviously. Fun fact! The third photo is actually me falling down. It's disconcerting how similar photos of me dancing and photos of me falling over look.

So I wore this get up to see Cirque du Soleil's Ovo last weekend. (In a very what-is-my-life moment I managed to score a VIP ticket to the opening - open bar, fab food and Perthonality-spotting, that's a sick life I could get used to.) And the show itself was just stunning. If you dig a night of marvelling at the creativity and power of the human body, I defs recommend a visit.

And shout out to my pal Michael for the dress! New fave, fo sho.

True love exists, you guys. I know that now. I laid eyes on this beauty in Retro Vinnies on William St (bless you, Vinnies) and life hasn't been the same since. (I'm not being melodramatic, I swear.) (I'm probably being a little melodramatic, but whatever, look how pretty.) A glorious 70s maxi in excellent condition, its glorious colours as bright as ever. Perfect for the wedding of some good mates in a beautiful garden nestled at the bottom of the hills.

I just want to twirl around forever.

bare that 'driff

A day of hair doin', gift shoppin', bank visitin' and photo editin', followed by an evening at the Urban Couture preview (which was grand! Photos and deets to come.) If you're in Perth be sure to check out the program for the City of Joondalup's Urban Couture - there are some rad pop up events happening over the next couple weeks as part of the Joondalup Festival (and they're all free!)

And outfit-wise, it seems like I've gathered a fair few of my current obsessions here: midriff tops (I legit have a pile of old shirts sitting in my room waiting to be cropped - you better believe that post will be coming soon), turtlenecks (yeah!), black and blue, light curls, red wine lips. This weeks's guide to Lisa, basically.

sweet red

Oh hey, real world.

I took a slight break from that ol' thing to road trip (!!!) it down to Esperance for a few days with some lovely friend folk. It was a damn good time full of adventures and exploring, muchos food, fab company and legit, legit the most beautiful beach I've ever been to, in the world, ever. Photos to come, just you wait.

And duh, of course, no trip to a country town is complete without a visit to the local op shop, where I picked up these sweet loafers (something I've been after for a while!) Cheers, Espo. So today - trying my hardest to switch off my brain's holiday mode - I upped the red for a day spent catching up on emails, organising work and enjoying a costume meeting for the short I'm currently working on (half of which is being filmed in a building in the CBD 23 floors up - more than a little excited, I must say).

At the risk of sounding like facebook's nosy status bar - what have you been up to?

christmas fairy

Ohhh this dress. I'm more than a bit enamoured with it. Made in the 50s and unaltered since, floaty and flattering, in a beautiful light mint green - I felt pretty special twirling around the Urban Orchard in this get up. I can't think of a dress more perfect for Christmas day celebrations. And you can make it yours by visiting Bone Jacked Vintage at the OnWilliam markets tomorrow!

THAT'S RIGHT, TOMORROW. 5 - 10 pm in the Perth Cultural Centre. I'll be there wandering around with PFF looking looking for the best market finds. Hope to see you there, and hope you enjoyed this week of outfits!

playsuited

I AM SO OBSESSED WITH THIS PLAYSUIT! It's Bone Jacked Vintage of course but I will warn you I am going to sprint to the stall as soon as I arrive at the markets this friday and scoop this baby up. Probably the shoes too. Soz. But head down for literally hundreds of other equally bitchin' treats!

I like aeroplane jewellery

Outfit number two for you, amigos! Featuring lovely dress and bag from Bone Jacked Vintage and adorable paper aeroplane jewellery (did you read this post title to the tune of 'I like aeroplane jelly? Did ya??) from The Bunny, both of whom will be running rad stores at the OnWilliam night markets this friday. All details of the markets here, friends.

countdown to illuminites

In case you've forgotten (tsk tsk), less than a week to go until the OnWilliam night markets! To get in the mood I caught up with PFF for something of a christmas- and market-inspired shoot. We put four outfits together featuring clothes and accessories from some fab Illuminites sellers and I jumped and danced around the Urban Orchard while the awesome Steph from PFF took these photos. SO fun. And I'll be posting an outfit each day this week to hopefully get you a bit excited for all the treats you can get your mitts on this friday!

Here's number one...

Special magic christmas nails by the rad Jessie of Finger Bang Nail Art, who'll be running a stall at the markets. Thanks, cool lady! (The reindeer is my favourite. I can't get over it. The sickest.) Big thank you also to Steph for organising everything and for taking these photos - I think I need to employ her as my personal photographer. And thank you to Bone Jacked Vintage and The Bunny for kindly lending the amazing clothes and accessories you'll be seeing this week. And of course to the OnWilliam team as well for running this whole shebang! The best group of people!

black out: sunday

Here you go - one final outfit for the Black Out project! I got a bit caught up with work and being sick so I wasn't able to inject this ol' blog with as much colour as I was hoping - but it was definitely fun forgetting about black for a little bit (and not as challenging as I thought it would be! Thank heavens for neutrals). These shorts were picked up from vintage shop Puf n Stuff in Surry Hills and I am obsessed. (I hope I've got that name right - my trip turned into somewhat of a vintage blur! But do stop by if you're in the area - totally awesome range of shorts.) I think orange might be my favourite colour this summer, y'know. Ginger summer ahoy!

black out: thursday

Totes my favourite dress at the moment. Picket it up el cheapo from a vintage shop in Newtown which I have forgotten the name of (which as a serial travel diarist upsets me greatly) on my recent Sydney jaunt. Fitted on top, floaty down below, spotted all over. Perfect!

black out: wednesday

I'm feeling well enough to not shudder at the thought of taking photos of myself! Hurrah! And I managed to find five minutes between downpours to squeeze in a quick photo sesh for my first (documented) Black Out get up! Double hurrah!

If you're Perth-bound I hope you found a way to make the most of this dreary weather - a comfy and colourful outfit, a warm cafe and a chinwag over lunch with an old friend made for a pretty perfect stormy wednesday for me.
