Vamp Vagabond

You may have remembered that I mentioned that I have suddenly obtained myself a hectic social life. Where it came from nobody knows. Hopefully it will leave with the month of August (which I am not wishing away FYI). 

Anyway, as part of this new found socialisation, I somehow got myself invited to a Vamp party at the Deen (awful awful club where I feel one hundred years old, need to be very very drunk just to tolerate and where it is impossible to tell when one song ends and another starts).

What a Vamp party was, I did not know, however it was free entry, on Friday 13th and was for a good cause is support of recently-had-dreadful-break-up friend who wanted to have a girls night.

We were instructed that we had to wear black which for me was a challenge as I hate to be dictated too about what to wear and, probably in retaliation to my mother, do not own a lot of club appropriate black attire. This is what I ended up with.

I just couldn't do the all black thing.

I bought these tights ages ago after being inspired by Hayley's post. They have been sitting in my draw  waiting for me to get some guts to take them out on the town. Not sure I can translate these into everyday wear but they are fabulous for such an occasion. They did manage to save us from looking like a pack of goths walking around Northbridge to and from the Deen. 


Some last minute accessorising. The little bird inside the cage actually swings and the hatch actually opens!!

I am the shitz no?

Dress - Forever New
Vest - Lucette
Tights - We Love Colours
Boots - Tony Bianco
Necklace - Jet & Ruby

Anyway the party was AWFUL. I am not even sure what it was but I have an inkling it was some sort of advertising event, luring us in with the premise of a party and free cocktails. All I saw was some sort of fashion show with models walking down the runway in poorly made cocktail dresses holding skulls  two built guys talking about their event "So you think you can strip"?? and glassies walking around in Scream Masks (accident waiting to happen much!!). We ended up having our free drink, using the loo (which was surprisingly clean) and hoofing it up the road to the old fogies pub and dancing like maniacs until three in the morning. Best thing was I amazingly decided to stop drinking around midnight and was dead sober by the time my head hit the pillow. Hello hangover free Saturday.

Oh and a guy showed us his arse. He has a W tattooed on each cheek. In addition, his crotch said "Please take a seat ". Charming. L, perhaps remember this next time you ask someone about their tat. Haha.

Then on Saturday night, I grooved up the dance floor with the rentals at my friend H's 40th birthday party. I still remember H's 30th. I had an crimped hair and discovered West Coast Coolers. It was an 80's party. I was 15. Enough said.

No photos of my outfit due to my complete inability to get ready to go out without rushing around like a lunatic and being too late to take pics. I wore this though:


Dress - Style Stalker
With my TB booties, black tights a side of Espresso Martini cocktail on the hem after an ill fated accident (dev-vo)

Oh, H just upload this on Facebook:


Mum and me on the dance floor. I did not go to bed sober this night and have no idea what sort of emu inspired dance I am doing here. I do remember trying to teach mum how to black dance but she somehow managed to turn it into The Hussle, so we just boogied away to bet of our own drums.

Note: A at 6 foot 8 was just too tall to crop out of the pic. Dance hard A. Thanks for the great party :-)

Anyway, i think that is all. Thank for reading.

Busy Birthday Bash-ing

Sorry for lack of posting. I have has a huge birthday weekend. Alas, I have no photos to show for it. Or so I thought....

I just found this on my phone. This I believe is a photo taken by breasts (Nigella and Winona) while using the bathroom at the dinner party/games night my friend K held for me on Saturday night. See there is K's shower in the background, and I was wearing black, those hands look short and stubby and the glint in the top right corner could easily be my phone. As I rarely wear garments with pockets, I have a tendency to use what god gave me for storage. I have no recollection of this moment ever happening though. At least there is one surviving remnant of my 25th birthday. Oh the memories .... of washing my hands...

I also have some weekend outfits to post but this will have to wait until I, A locate the battery for my camera to upload them and B, regain enough mental capacity to post them.

I have managed a reworked outfit repeat today. As my entire wardrobe in currently adorning my bedroom floor this was the only thing that was in hands reach and did not require ironing (have I used this excuse before?).

However, as I am now old, I am having hot flushes, (can anyone explain why the yanks call them “flashes”??) the said dress needed to be taken off for a while. I was just walking around with the sleeves hanging down but then I had a brain wave to tuck them into the skirt and ta-dah, a new outfit is born… Until the flush goes away and I start freezing my arse off again.


Please wish me luck for my weigh in tonight. I have eaten sooo much and exercised sooo little this week. But you only turn 25 once right? I will be ok with putting on anything up to 1.5kg. I say this so I will be happy with my result when I don't put this much on. I will probably gain more though, given last two weeks have freakishly lost and then remained the same. Oh well I feel good about myself at the moment (bar the little incident at Supre but I am using my aging memory to suppress that one) so that is all that matters right. There is always next week....

Birthday Blues Begone

Book bound and written by Grandad
Poem written by Granny

We used to get these every year as kids. This one is my favourite. I know this poem off by heart. I very much wish I was going to get one of these this year.

I am feeling very meh about turning 25. It's silly because I know 25 is so young but I feel so old. I think the lack of boyfriend/house/husband/children is making it worse. Not that I am ready for a house or marriage or children but feel that time is ticking away....

I am at work today (obviously working hard) which is always a bit of a downer but I went out to dinner last night with the folks for Indian which was nice. Indian is my ALL TIME FAVOURITE food. Palak Paneer my favourite dish. I have leftovers sitting in the fridge but I forgot them!! :-( Oh and at dinner parentals gave me my gift of  a Tom Tom - haha not exciting but at least I will not get lost soo much. I ALWAYS get lost.

I wore this purely because I failed to pack anything casual to wear to take to house-sitting house. This dress should have been ironed but house-sitting house iron decided to spew dirty crap all over my top the other day so I chose not too. I wanted to wear my new red boots but they looked silly with this dress. Will have to play around with them when I have access to my full wardrobe.


Country Road Dress
Supre Cardigan
Stewart Weitzman Shoes
Scarf from India

Geez the lighting is shocking. The dress is not soo shiny in real life. It also not so sack like.

Me and the puppy match!!

Back to it.
