Bloody Belated Blog

Sorry all for my extended leave of absense. As stated previously, I was not blogging in an attempt to prove a point to myself. But alas, my social experiment failed. In the past, when I have not blogged for a few days, the traffic on my blog has increased, I have gained followers and received more comments than usual. This time it did not. We do have one new follower (Hi) and I did get a few comments but all in all, a complete waste of blog worthy time was wasted.

Oh Well....

Hmm what else have I missed while I was gone?? I LOVE Emma Watson’s haircut, I am pissed that MK said she looks at old photos of the twins and sees little monkey performers , I have no idea who to vote in the election and am honestly thinking of taking up Mum’s suggestion that I write FUCK YOUSE ALL on my ballot paper, I suddenly have a ridiculously busy social life after months of incessant hibernation at home, I have started saying incessant, incessantly, I have learnt that wearing JC clogs while very drunk and where there are steep stairs is not a wise decision, I have learnt I am very lucky not to have broken my neck during said excursion, I have learnt that when you are drunk and need food, anchovies don’t taste so bad after alll, I have learnt not just to drink a drink just because someone hands it to me, I have learnt there are many types of kayaks and things you can do with them, I have lost my shopping mojo, I have seen Terri Hatcher bareface and think she looks great (mainly because she will always be Lois Lane to me), I am sad Artie and Tina have broken up on Twitter, I have no opinion about the fact they are going to turn a quarter of the park across the way from me into a carpark....

.... Many many other things that I am sure would bore you to death. Wasn't that a great story << My catch phrase. More than likely a defensive mechanism so people will not think I am boring/talking crap. Something like, if I acknowledge it, then it is OK.

Anyway, outfit wise. During said drunk escapades involving seeing my friend in her comedy show, talking incredibly loudly about certain activities best kept spoken about not in public, being ditched by my friend to go and pick up, throwing up in a cafe toilet (I am such a lady), getting home WAY past my nanna curfew of 10pm and being VERY very hungover the next day.... I wore this.

What on earth is this pose??

My pretties. That I agree are very ugly but I love all the same. Fastidious fug they are (but that is another post in itself ). And everyone in Cottesloe knows it after I yelled at my sister and dad that they were fabulous and in "a months time everyone will be wearing them". The small child standing near, thought I was very strange and probably cacked his pants when I fell over in them walking to my car.

Top - Target

Jacket - Portmans (for $17!!)

Pants - Sportsgirl (love love love)

I don’t usually shop in shops. I will browse Forever New, Portmans and Dotti at my local “Quarter” (cough, pretentious name for average suburban shopping centre, cough) but I will rarely buy. Going to the shops just seems like so much effort and inconvenience. This insurrection only began about a year ago when I got my first credit card (apart from the times I could convince by big sister to use to hers to pur-chase me say $150 t-shirt??). Now I am an online shopping fiend. I absolutely refuse to pay full price for anything. I am ridiculously put out when I cannot find a coupon/promotional code for a website that I want to shop on and eBay is the worst and best thing to ever happen to me. Ozsale, Brands Exclusive, Buy Invite, Thread People, Coco Lee are all $35 for real deal Uggs and $11 for speedos!! Who could say no.

Geez, I sound so frelling arrogant sorry (for those of you non-scifi-watching-geeks, frelling is alien for “fucking” in my favourite show ever Farscape. Although they all are injected with translator microbes anyway so I am not sure why technically Frell is not just Fuck, just Henson getting away with vulgarity in an 8pm timeslot. And un-geek).

Anywho, the point is, that I went shopping ... at the shops... last weekend. I was very uninspired and I have discovered I am going through a style revolution. I is confused. I don't know what I like anymore. The above outfit it a perfect example off this. A Target thermal? To a fancy bar? And pants? When I did start loving pants? Why do a have a sudden urge to buy every pair of pants I see now? I even bought myself some baggy black cargo pants and I have been living in them since...... ????? 

But you know feels amazing though. Being able to walk into any store and know that I can pick something up and it will fit. Hell-low. I need to get back on track WW though before I blow out to balloon size again and this elation is lost. Another story for another time though.

So after reading all the above crap, here is what you really care about (I'm tlaking to you RiotersBloc - sorry to take so long). On the date front, all is going well. We are continuing to see each other. As a result of D’s superior Googling skills, he has discovered this blog (cue akward conversation), so I will keep it short and sweet and say things are good. Have you ever tried googling your email address? That is how I can be found. Luckily, non of the people who I would not want to read this blog have any internet skills at all so I am safe (ie. One asked “What is this paypal thing?, to which I almost chocked on my Indian).

That is all....For now.

I promise to return.

Harbour Town Haul

OK so maybe I lied. I didn't bring home a haul.

I bought home these gloves:

I do not even know what a "Cardio Fitness Glove" is for but they are cute and they were only $6 and they appeased my purchase envy. My friend K did take home a haul. Revenge to her hubby D for staying up all night playing Dungeons and Dragons. I am so glad I know D as we geek out together. Although I do not play DD - yet.

I may have been blogging this morning instead of getting ready for brunch (I do not think I have EVER been on time to meet K anywhere). So outfit was haphazardly put together by reaching into the back of my draws and pulling out whatever long sleeve top I could find. And what I found was my primp rabbit top. Circa what 2006? Circa Mischa being cool and hot and idealised enough for me to use that company Chic-something to get the top like hers shipped from the US at some exorbitant price. Oh Mischa, those were the days:

That being said, I did watch her SUV episode and she was pretty good in it. The acting classes in London have sure helped. Also, not playing being Marissa Cooper is always a step in the right direction.

So with historical top, I threw this outfit together:

Diamond studded bunnies. Hehehe.

Just admiring my clogs again. Not obsessed at all.

Needed a jacket for warmth. Soooo cold here.

Top - Primp

Jeans - Sportsgirl

Jacket - Arabella Ramsey for Sportsgirl

Belt - French Connection

Socks - ??

Saturday Sillys Style

To perform the below tasks, I had to wear something.

A few weeks ago, I got it in my head that I just had to have myself a long black skirt. Being short I know it is a big no no but whatever, embrace the frump I say. Now, a long black skirt is not as easy to find as you would think. I tried all the usual suspects and the closest I could find was a long dress from Supre, but it was thin and clingy and made me feel the size of a house (as only Supre can). I asked for suggestions, I searched online but it was to no avail.

Then last Saturday, I walked past the Good Sammy's. As I past, I had a thought. What about looking there? I literally walked straight to the skirt rack and picked up a long black skirt in my size for $4. It is Stitches brand, so decent quality and although it has a old lady style split at the front, I just wear it the wrong way around.

So with my new skirt, I decided this morning I would create an outfit.

At first, I decided to take my Funkis clogs and red socks for a spin ...

... but this looked wrong. The grunge (??) aesthetic of the top and skirt and the "clog" (??) aesthetic of the socks and clogs, didn't collaborate well ...

... so I decided to play it safe and add my black boots. Oh and a belt as I decided the top was too baggy for the skirt but couldn't be bothered changing my top ...

... I wasn't feeling this either. So I changed my boots and added a scarf as it is chilly here.

Love these boots!

Anywho ... after all that, I decided I hated the whole outfit but I was tired of the whole thing and couldn't be bothered changing again and it was already midday and I had many things to do, so I left the house in it. I said I had to wear something, not that it had to look good.

Skirt - Stitches

Long Sleeve Top - Tempt

PS. I apologise for the not-centred pics in the middle, blogger is misbehaving and randomly not centering a few of my photos for some reason. If anyone knows why, please explain. Thanks

Clicking Clogs Complete Coco

Ok so I may not actually be Coco (that is sissy's nickname, I was never cool enough for anything other than Fi - or the dreaded Fifi which I can't stand - I am not a dog - although I do currently have a dog staring in at me from the window). But Coco it is for today.

Anyway I am so rooted right now. Had soo much to drink last night and didn't get to sleep until 3am. I saw the Sex and the City movie last night which I really enjoyed (as unlike a lot of people when it comes to movies, I took it for what it was). We were very classy and snuck some Malibu and DC into the cinema to last us the 2 hour 26 mins marathon. We also had a "bag platter" with olives, cheese, salsa, dried apricots and biccies. All class, all the way we are. I also got to lie down while watching (not that it takes much with my little legs - two chairs will suffice) so was very comfortable. Anyway the movie finished at 1am and then we just had to come back here and watch some old episodes (when dare I say, Carrie looked good - which is weird because I think SJP looked great in Did You Hear About the Morgans? - the other gals all look better with age).

 

The good thing about styling in advance is that you don't have to think of an outfit when you are rushing out the door. So I wore my pink dress, vest and boot combo I posted last week. The dress is much shorter and tighter then I am used too. And yes, my friend and I did stand around taking photos of each other with our phones. We can't help but be Woo girls once in a while.

 

Hm so now I am awake with one killer heado and a desperate need for more sleep but it is not happening.

Therefore I decided to blog about my new clogs (after hacking into my friends wifi on the my phone - it was not hard - the password is now growling at me as I type). It is love. I think we may marry if I can get them to sign a BFA.

Funkis Clogs looking stunning with my Mitch Dowd PJ Bottoms

Oh and I broke the dieting so I am dreading my weigh in on Tuesday. You only live once though right, and I need a day off every now and then (and by "broke" I mean, I had 2 pieces of pizza, a piece of bruschetta and a Baci - travesty huh).
