i am no ordinary princess & i build my peace with strength
my bedroom door :) i loves it
hi, i'm posting! i'm sorry & i suck! have done many many MANY fun things which i will hopefully post about, & bought LOTS. i have bunches & bunches of photos to catch up on, & lots of things for which i have NO photos cos mine is currently in tasmania with my sister!
anyway, i hope you all like the re-design (even though it's about a week old by now :S) a prize to anyone who can guess the handwriting in my header! (NOT YOU LIV!) seriously, i will give you a prize, cos it's so awesome.
"you haven't blogged in HOW long???" haha
wore this outfit pretty much my entire week off over christmas, so comfy- but cute!
shorts, diy levis. tank top, miss shop @ myer. sneaks, . buddha necklace = love.

so, things what i have bought! today my new (& very first ever!) vibrator arrived, so pretty excited about that ;) but MORE exciting is the fact that today i found a little bookshelf thing to put all my shoes on! i am SO SO freakin excited about it, it was $10 & made of crappy plywood shit so i can totally paint over & redecorate it. YAY. i'm thinking of sticking all sorts of pictures & stuff on there, maybe printing out some (poladroid!) photos too.
skirt, diy JAG. top, aa. nanna cardigan, ?. shoes, anna vanilla.
my lace skirt that i made from a top i got at the op shop. i love it :D worn over my aa skirt though, cos i am too lazy to sew a lining in. haha, i keep writing "dyi" instead of "diy"!
textures detail shots
tee, aa. jeans, cotton on. shoes, nine west. belt, myer. ring, cotton on.
very very very old outfit photos i had floating around. maybe from around october? eek :S
dress, temt. shoes, yeojin bae for target. ring, $2 shop. bangle, india. headband, necklace from op shop.
what i wore new year's eve. i loved this outfit :) the dress cost me $10! yay. & i love love love these shoes. my sister hates them. they are surprisingly comfy & were only $15 down from about $70! i had a great night sitting around with friends drinking the YUMMIEST homemade mojitos ever & watching yes minister & blackadder. ♥♥♥
(detail shot, duh)
also kids, i am curious to know, what kind of yoghurt do you eat? i used to like flavoured ones, but now i only eat brownes vanilla & natural style. & it has to be brownes haha. i love yoghurt, healthy & yummy for a snack. nom nom nom :)
(those of you who do not have me on twitter, this gives you a good idea of my day-to-day spazziness :D)
been listening to dar williams a lot lately, in between my southbound playlist (HIVES!!!!!!!!) & i love this one (the great unknown), but she also does an excellent cover of the kinks' better things. i may even like it more than the original.

be whoever you have to be, i won't judge you
was going to do my southbound post tonight, but got distracted planning Fairy Bread Friday/Fairy Lover Night :) instead, here are 7 random facts about me, just cos i felt like it.
- i have a bad habit of leaving my car door/boot open in order to finish unpacking, & then forget about it for hours :S
- i can't eat breakfast until i have at least brushed my teeth, but preferably had a shower as well.
- i lived in italy for the first 2 years of my life but sadly don't remember any of it
- i have only ever had 1 serious boyfriend & he was an idiot, but i haven't been as attracted to anyone since then as i was to him
- i identify as sexually ambiguous (i hate the term bisexual) but i've never actually kissed a girl *cue katy perry music, ugh*
- whenever i change-over handbags i leave a bunch of crap in the bigger one & forget about it for a week
- my favourite book in the world is saving francesca by melina marchetta & you need to read it!
& i would like to leave you with this amazing photoshoot by ellen von unwerth. she is far & away my favourite photographer ever
songity song today is sway by the kooks. saw them at southbound (post on which is definitely coming!) & they were fucking amazing. so much love.

tra la la la laaaa
sooo blogger is being a total cunt. i have been trying to re-vamp my little space for the last 2 hours or so, & between my stupid computer & blogger it has become a chore & a half. hopefully i will be able to fix the layout in the morning, so until then please bear with me! i also lost my entire blogroll, but i managed to remember most of it (i'm only missing about 5! yay me) so once it's back up, if i've missed you please let me know!
anyway, i shall leave you with what i wore today & expect a much better post in the morning!
top, miss shop (myer). pants, temt. shoes, anne michelle (gojane.com). necklace, ?
hadn't intended to say anything about the outfit, but i just want to tell you that I LOVE THESE PANTS! they cost me $10, are made of the softest, slinkiest material, are so comfy they feel like pajama pants, & can be worn long, or shorter like other harem pants around the place.

you are my sweetest downfall
dress, s & g (op shop). vest, minkpink. shoes, urban soul.
lots of photos today, i was too lazy to pick the best ones. i love this dress, picked it up last week for like 4 dollars or something? perfect fit, i was happy to have something work-appropriate but floaty & cool for those super-hot days we will be getting soon.. i hope! oh & i'd been wanting a (big) spotty dress for ages, so double yay!
samson, regina spektor. oh my god, seriously, this song is incredible. PLEASE download it, i was obssessed for like a month straight, seriously. this & nerina pallot's sophia, which you will get tomorrow :) they make an amazing double.
