you need to see this...

I have freakin wished this bag into my daily life since February.

Wednesday the 24th of February 2010 to be EXACT. I ripped the page from The NZ Herald supplement, VIVA! and have it pinned to my mood board....which suspiciously has morphed into a must-buy-it board....and have been putting away spare pennies into a naff envelope to buy one ever since.

Then I found the creative kick-ass behind the label Black.Rose.Die had a freakin blog. Meet her cool shit here. GO ON, CLICK CLICK...WHY ARE YOU STILL HERE?

I've since stalkerishly commented all over it's archives....then I stopped cos that's just plain wierd. But I spent AGES scrolling through. I have chronic lower back and neck pain and my index finger is stiff-well worth it.

That purple leather bag with the tassel detail and those boot straps also make me stiff...ewwww...but you know what I mean.

Must stave off the shoe addiction and replace it with the shtuff from Black.Rose.Die.

Thank you Kimberley Innes for being THE coolest chick in Auckland. Ever.

even when i fall, will you still believe?

It's cold. Deceptive rays of sunlight lure me outside dressed in what can only be described as 'questionable suitability' garments. And besides, one does not look 'blog-able' when ones nose is not exactly summer dry nor winter wet. Just kinda like a tap with a slow drippy leak. *sniff...wipe...red* Like that kid down the road who needs a tissue but just uses his sleeve.

Mmm...that sounds questionable too. I swear...sometimes....ewwww....but I can assure you my sleeves remain untainted.

So? What does one do when one has not papp'd themselves like a narcissistic freak?

High rotation shoe post.....no runny noses to factor in....YUSSSS! Sat here lounging in Nobody jeans, a stripey top and Big R's hoodie...with accents of my beloved toe-socks (Big R HATES them) and not so beloved sniffy schnozz.




Top Row: jeffrey campbell 'foxy' platforms x nastygal, chaos & harmony 'dilemma' wedges x metail therapy, topshop 'prima sling' clogs x the department store, siren 'geisha' wedges x wild pair.
Centre Row: beau coops 'frankly 03' x good as gold, new look 'python' boots x no 1 shoe warehouse, acne 'atacoma' wedges x acne studios.
Bottom Row: garage 'nabraska' boots x the warehouse, thrifted 90's boots, thrifted cuban heel shoe boots, patent platform sandals x no 1 shoe warehouse.

It has been a little quiet on the blog but once I invent a second-skin-suit with built-in heating properties..and perhaps a new un-drippy nasal area...I'll get back on track. Promise.

So, even though I've fallen off track, will you still believe?

sometimes it's just a shirt

I loved this shirt. Blouse. Whatev's. It sat nicely on that border between demure sheer and skanky sheer.

I had grown rather attached, bestowing it with some magical properties that propelled my outfits from blah to ha-zah!

Then, I found a better one by Commoners Alike and am now saving pennies to own the lushest sheer-ish shirt EV-ER!

So I sold it. My blouse. Shirt. Whatev's.

Sometimes, it's not THAT magical and all-knowing and special.....sometimes, it's just a shirt.

wearing: vintage blouse and leather shorts, sheers and boots from the warehouse.

old news...

This is the last time I saw my vest.

And it was NOT made from pure gorilla's chest.

It has gone, never to return.....I hope it's new owner does give it the wear it deserves.

Please, don't treat it like old news.

wearing: shirt dress x maternity section at the warehouse, jilly vest x maxshop.com, vintage combat boots and bag worn as belt.
