in the summer

I think Rubi might just be becoming my favourite shoe shop? Yes, yes I think that is what's happening. I couldn't resist these boots. They are just downright fantastic. (And they were bought back in february - so I can assure you my shopping-free march is going surprisingly well!)

ain't that good news

Last day of 2010! And it was a good 'un. I went into town, relaxed in one of my favourite spots with my notebook, came home and discovered my mum's old typewriter from the 70s and made heart-shaped chocolate cakes. Excellence.

So these shorts again. I can't stop wearing them. They're just too perfect. And yes! My hair is red now. It has been for a few weeks, but I don't think it was totally noticeable in my last outfit post. I'm a little bit in love with it.

I hope everyone has a spectacular new years, whether you're partying hard or chilling even harder.

P.S. I've had Sam Cooke on repeat for the past couple of days and it's been magical.

The big black and the blue

About 30 seconds into taking these photos it started raining. And then it didn't stop for oh, say... all day. And all evening. And probably all night. Um. So much for that whole 'omg almost summer!' thing I was going on about. Not that I mind, of course, winter is lovely. Though I am a liiiiitle disappointed I couldn't get away with no tights and rolled-up sleeves when I went out.

I love this blazer. It's one of those items of clothing that I feel is just way too cool for me. That and the hat; I definitely need to wear them more often.

All summer

A couple of new tops that have recently entered my life! The first one from the always stunning Twitch Vintage and the second from a friend of mine at the garage sale that was a few weeks ago. Can you tell I have a thing for big puffy everything? Also the first top required me learning how to tie a bow tie (not a good bow tie... but a bow tie nonetheless) and I am really really really excited about this new semi-skill. Expect to be seeing a lot of bow ties from now on.

Also LOOK HOW SUNNY IT LOOKS. Winter's almost over and it's getting to that stage where there's a couple of hours each day where it's actually kind of almost warm. You'd better believe I'm taking advantage of it.

(Yes I like to climb walls all crazy-like. And yes I look like I'm kissing the wall in that last photo... I'm not. I just like to pretend I'm bendy.)
