HUZZAH!
I got my new Jeffrey Campbell X Wedges yesterday. They only took about 10 days (including weekends) to get here which was amazing!

Of course, they arrived whilst I was out having lunch with my friend Bridget, so needless to say I practically ripped the package apart to get to them!

I wore them out op-shopping today (got some more weird looks but that was probably due to my entire outfit in the locality) and got some monster blisters. :( The outfit in question is on my lookbook:  http://lookbook.nu/user/155287-Ellen-N
However, they don't say suffer for fashion for no reason so I intend to persevere and wear those babies in :)

On a side note, found a new little shop I hadn't been to before and it had some ah-mazing clothes.
Have an awesome day! xx

Saturday

I'm looking for some new black lipstick, so if anyone has any suggestions let me know.
So I tried out my new flower blazer today, the shoulders are fairly massive but I can live with it. You can check it out on my lookbook.
Got a few compliments which is nice as well :)
Intended to go op-shopping in Paddington but of course it rained..sigh but at least I got to see Laura, Sam and Tal and have some interesting conversation.

Australia is currently going mad over the "biggest sporting scandal ever" -> it's so ridiculous. The average Australian is being dumbed down just by watching news services such as Channel 10/9/7 which is really just another outlet for their community-centered inflammatory stories.
I mean, who cares if Stern Hu's trial is finishing in China if there is some bogan from the Gold Coast has been skiving off on debt payments. It is mind-boggling. (end rant)

On a high note, it is my first official day of holidays :D and I am so happy. I have my book pile to finish (which includes Anna Karenina and Shantaram) and many recipes to cook.

Happy ANZAC day for tomorrow!

monday monday monday

I am currently 'borrowing' my friend Julie's internet whilst mine is being sorted out. Thank God I have nice friends who don't mind me sponging off them.
On a side note, it's kind of scary how reliant I have become of the internet lately.

Mondays are often my worst day, mainly because I don't want to start another week of uni however from next Monday, I'm on holiday! Cannot describe the excitement to be finished with exams.

I also prepared my reading stack for the holidays..so I can basically become a couch potato, read books and eat. It's a fairly fun experience that I look forward to.

My friend Elspeth joined lookbook today, check her out: http://lookbook.nu/user/156779-Elspeth-D

My new look can be seen on the lb sidebar -->

Lunch with friends

Morning all,
Family friends are visiting from Hong Kong. I always love seeing to catch up with expats, they have such interesting stories!

On a side note, 18 days until I leave for Manila!

Lovely new winter coats

Floral blazer -> is a little big but only $5 so I couldn't pass it up!

Sorry for the horrid lighting but it's a lovely caramel colour in real life.

I tried it on and there was a pack of french gum and an italian transport ticket.

As my friend Elspeth rightly said, I now own a cultured coat! 

And another floral overcoat. It's not heavy enough to be a blazer.

So, there are a few of my great finds. 

Ironically, my mum refuses to spend money on clothes that are from normal shops but will pay for anything in an Op-Shop -> all the more reason! haha

Lookbook # 2

A day of op-shopping with my lovely mother. 

Got soooo many great new clothes. Photos to come x

Welcome all.

As I am spent from long hours of studying for my upcoming law exams, I am unable to think of anything witty.
Therefore, I will give you the basics :)
I'm from Australia but have lived o/s basically all of my life. 
I die without my family, my friends, good books, good music and coffee. 


Have a good one x
