the dark side is, well, dark.


i'm sure by now you have all figured out i love change.
just a couple of weeks ago, i ditched my platinum blonde hair for the dark side. i must admit, it went darker than I wanted but I think it looks pretty good!
however now I am missing my blonde hair. it seems every time I change my hair, I always want to go back to being blonde - whether i have short or long hair - it's like my safety colour! something I know will always look amazing. with that said, on Monday I am going to bleach the crap out of my hair, tone it and go back to blonde. yes yes, I know what your saying that my hair will all fall out... but trust me, my hair is ridiculously strong, it's almost weird.

lazy sundae






last sunday was spent sipping cocktails and lazying by the pool at the ivy poolclub with friends, the weather wasn't exactly tropical but was still warm enough to dip my feet in the water and dance to the sounds of grandmaster flash.
this weekend i am on house arrest, as per myself. yes, i'm grounding myself.
i am going to start planning my next 12 months travelling and the fashion projects i am going to embark on. i am also thinking in enrolling in a tafe short course in photography - i want to learn more before i leave so i can take many amazing photographs for you all to see.
if you know of any photography courses in the inner city area, please let me know, would love to hear from people who have previously done it!

*****

in sad news, a month or so ago my nan Betty passed away. when i went home i went through some old boxes of mine and found jewellry she gave me back in high school.
i thought it was so effing hideous back then, now i look at it and it's so perfect, it's to die for.
there was even a pair of Oroton clip-on earrings still in their case... they must be years old, antique or something. i love them dearly!
she also left me her sewing machine. she loved her fashion, sorry, her style. she worked for Myer when she was young in the menswear department - both sydney, melbourne and hobart.
anyway, i can't sew to save myself. but i have declared when my dad sends it to me i am going to learn so i can alter and make my own clothes. i draw design after design all day but never had the confidence to make anything! fingers crossed i can learn!

i would like to start over, please.

coachella 2010.

coachella.
my dream festival (besides I Love Techno) has arrived. and the 2010 line up is A-mazing.
Them Crooked Vultures, Jay Z, Passion Pit, She & Him, Erol Alkan, Phoenix, Orbital, MGMT, 2 Many DJs, Major Lazer... ahh i'm in love.
i've just been looking up flights to LA with V Australia - approx $1100, which is tempting me very very badly. I really want to go. With festival tickets only being about $270 for 3 days, plus $55 for a camping ticket. now I just need a party partner to join meeeee.
so if anyone is keen on an adventure for 5 days or so, you know, just a quick dash to LA and back... please let me know. I know a few kids going, but heck, let's all go and play in the sweet sweet surrounds of coachella.

is it love?









well after spending 3 days away up the coast at my parents, i feel refreshed and full of vitamin D. i was at the beach all day every day, working on my tan & enjoying the peace & quiet.
i did go op shopping one day with my mum and found some amazing pieces. best thing about shopping in small coastal towns is there vintage stores are actually cheap! not like sydney stores where you pay about $40 for a shirt... I got 2 black cropped tees and 1 white silk blouse for $5.50! and bought another dress and denim jacket at another store for $10.
i would love to see a sydney store match that.

i love you but i've chosen disco.














yes i want to wear a leotard for pants. and bright pink lipstick to kiss your pretty cheeks. perhaps dye my hair darkkkkk. and spend too long at the beach til i'm tanned. i love having a cigarette in one hand and a vodka-something in the other. i love dancing to dirty dirty music, including dub step. major lazer have officially rocked my world after seeing them live. i want black boots and white docs. but i want pretty little floral dresses and my long hair back.
i want to quit my job and party party party, beach beach beach it babyyyyy. i love cute boys who are the complete opposite to me. i'm a crazy, schizophrenic gemini girl who can't sit still and wants to do everything and love everyone.

this weekend i'm going to go play at 77 with taylor from high heels & hangover's blog. i predict this to be messy. free vodka bitches.
