Hello, is it me you're looking for....

2024-02-03T18:17:00.004+08:00

...I could see it in your eyes.. if I was not behind a keyboard and a screen and you weren't somewhere else in the world behind another screen. Perhaps in Timbuktu...No one really talks about Timbuktu anymore. Much like quick sand, I thought Timbuktu would make more of an impact on my adult life. But here we are, never mentioning Timbuktu at all.

Welcome back to the blog, fellow kids. Remember when blogging was a thing? After almost 10 years, it seemed only right to revive this blog with a little post. In the words of my four year old "I'm an old lady!" which I only recently figured out was a quote from Peppa Pig.

I've missed you all, and perhaps in another 10 years, I will post again....

I don't like you to look at me, I am not at my best today, because I was so mad it is Monday again I drew all over my face with pen. Sigh. Is it the weekend yet?

Mermaids and Side Tables....

2014-08-19T14:03:00.000+08:00

Yes, it is a combination you see all the time! Especially when perusing the bottom of the ocean. Yep, just mermaids hanging out, resting their cups of sea urchin tea on top of practical yet stylish side tables.

They probably buy their furniture from some kind of underwater Kmart equivalent.. Sea-Mart..or CMart. Gosh, here I am exposing all the homeware purchasing secrets of the every day mermaid...

Things That Live In My House, But Would Probably Live Under The Water, If I Were To Throw Them In The Ocean:

Side table - Kmart

Pink Mermaid Illustration - By ME, yes, I drew it with my own feet, I mean hands... I am very dexterous.

Vanilla Jafilla Candle - Supreme Boheme (I have never in my life wanted so much, to shrink myself and climb inside a candle. It smells THAT good. But I try not to shrink myself and climb into candles because the wax is hot and the flame is burny.)

MERBABES...........

2014-07-18T15:05:00.003+08:00

Who doesn't love mermaids? I mean, apart from Ursula, I cannot think of anyone that does not love them and by love them I mean want to be them. I mean, want to dye their hair the same colour and sew their legs together and use permanent marker and bits of alfoil to draw scales on and sticky tape flippers to our feet and grow our hair long and learn to breath under water. It’s essentially the entire plot to The Talented Mr Ripley, but if they were mermaids. Hey, that’s a movie I would pay to see!

This illustration was done with my two favourite Instagram merbabe’s @sunfilledream and @lanbriget in mind. I stalk their Instagram’s whenever I need some mermaid inspiration and they ALWAYS deliver.

You can find this on my Society 6 also, wahh wahh wee wahhh

Counting down the days to summer when I get really get my mermaid on…

where is my margarita, and where is my wand for that matter??

2014-07-11T15:11:00.001+08:00

It is 3.03pm on a Friday afternoon. There is no margarita in my hand, or next to me, or on my desk or anywhere in my vicinity.

What is the problem here everyone?? Where is a margarita for me to drink and be merry with?

This is quite distressing. I am not quite sure what to do with myself.

I have drawn about 5 pictures of margaritas in the notebook next to me, but so far none of them have magically come to life. Is this because I'm not REALLY a wizard? Have I been living a lie all this time?

There is a lot for me to contemplate it seems.

But how are YOU doing? Yes, it has been awhile. I hope you are still a wizard and surrounded by margaritas on this winter Friday afternoon.

Well, hasn't this been pleasant. Good day.

pictured: ink and watercolour illustration one of these is ALMOST a margarita, but it is mostly a hedgehog in disguise...

Mr Bird's Adventures.....

2014-04-01T16:07:00.001+08:00

I have not visited blog land for a while, but the good news is that I have brought Mr Bird back to life! Hooray! Hoorah, what adventures he will go on, his legs are very long and he walks on them to places.

http://mrbirdsadventures.tumblr.com/

lets pretend its still summer by wearing summer dresses with winter knits....

2013-08-02T19:50:00.001+08:00

It is the only way. Good golly I miss summer. It is STARTING to get slightly lighter earlier in the mornings and that is a good sign.

Don't you love how strategically placed the dogs look in the first photo? They are models.

This was a lovely sunny day a week or so ago. Tomorrow it will be sunny also. Sunny is good. Life is good (even though it is still winter).

That is all.

P.s: if you have been wondering what Mr Bird is up to lately, he has made a reappearance over here, with a new sparkly makeover. Ooh Lah Lah.

know hope.......

Somedays Lovin speak to my soul, a lot of things have been speaking to my soul lately. My soul is very chatty, much like myself after one or two wines.

Things that I love:

Black & White & Red Lips

Outfit coordinating with my pup Albi

Jumpers that are so ridiculously comfy, that you almost start to wish they were less rad so that people didn't realise you were wearing them every single day.

wherefore lamour?

2013-04-08T19:26:00.000+08:00

I don't know where you are, but I am not one to pry. This is my spectacular and favourite newish Wildfox jumper. It is rather wonderful. When it gets a little colder I will wear it and have adventures and roll down hills and what not. But it was actually 36 degrees today! I went to the beach after work and everything, summer is not over and that's ok by me.

These photos are from a month or so ago when I moved into my new house. It is old and beautiful and I can hang with my dogs on the porch and drink wine, and that's what life is all about!

Merry merry things that are merry.

almost unicorns and days that aren't friends.....

2013-04-07T09:16:00.001+08:00

It is Sunday, which in my opinion is too dangerously close to Monday. Monday and I have not been getting on for several years. We may never be friends again. Opinion is a funny word, it is almost onion if you remove some letters, and almost unicorn if you add some and remove some, you know change the word completely. Horses are good because they are Almost Unicorns. So I'm not a fan of horse meat, you are eating an almost unicorn! I don't know if almost unicorns cause you to be cursed for almost life. I'd have to ask my good friend Harry. These questions are far too puzzling for a Sunday morning.

Here are some things that are floral to sooth your mind. Look at Maxy Moo! He is a wonderful old dog.

2013-04-05T19:17:00.001+08:00

And things that are shiny. And then you can attract all the magpies in the world because they love shiny things and you will also be wearing an alfoil pirate hat at the time. Then with your mermaid/magpie army you will rule the world and can surround yourself with everything that is good.

This has nothing to do with my outfit here, it's just a good life plan.

eating an entire easter bunny and washing it down with wine will cure all your woes...............

2013-04-04T19:07:00.002+08:00

it is true, and I know this because I have conducted many scientific experiments (today) AND it has been 100 per cent accurate. It is difficult to type when your mind is buzzing with the scientific findings of the day, I am sure it has nothing to do with the fact my lap top is awkwardly perched on top of a pink and beige zig zag patterned pillow.

ON another note. There is no need to conduct any kinds of experiments scientific or otherwise on my beautiful best friend's dresses.

If you don't like these dresses, then you probably also don't like summer, or things made entirely out of rainbows. You probably cackle loudly at the sight of a box full of abandoned kittens. And quite frankly kittens would look lovely sitting upon this dress.

we also look like we are having LOTS of fun, hugging and swaying and holding pot plants and being best friendly! Which is partly because we are hugging, swaying, holding plants and being best friends, but you can never be sure if it is us or the magic of the dresses. Obviously dresses with magical abilities are highly desirable and hard to come by..... THAT is something to think about.

Now where did I put my earless chocolate bunny?

So you are confused.

The End.

once upon a time there was a blog.....

2013-04-03T19:14:00.001+08:00

........and how is it there is blue highlighter all over my arm? It is perhaps because I was using blue highlighter today. Sometimes I draw all over my face to make it more beautiful, but according to my 3 year old niece it is not working. I am mainly doing a blog post because I am waiting for things to load on to my usb. Load already, I haven't got all day. Except I do. Except not really. I don't know what I'm saying, maybe we can get Ice to cater the wake? Here I am wearing things that are stripey, updating this blog for the sake of waiting for things to load and being covered head to toe in highlighter.

poison...........

2012-10-22T08:42:00.004+08:00

Just a few instagram (@stompface) shots of probably the world's most funnest dress. I am very in love with it and suspect I will be living in it all summer long.

Also how WONDERFULLY magical is the poison vial necklace from Wildfox. It is no secret that I want to marriage all over Wildfox, and this necklace is one of my new favourite things. Anything that makes you feel just a little bit like Juliet Capulet is alright by me!

Except by LA I mean Perth. This playsuit however is M.I.A in LA, what an adventurous travelling playsuit!

Thanks to Vamastyle for sending me this delight to go on my own adventures. It is very soft and wonderful. I am just HANGING out for summer times so I can wear things like this all the time.

We are getting SO close to summer! I AM VERY HAPPY ABOUT THIS.

Oh blogging world, I have been very busy lately and have not visited you in some time. Today I had a tooth removed from my face, so what better time to blog than now. I had one wisdom tooth taken out this morning, needles in your mouth are not fun, but at least it is out now.

Anyways I'm not supposed to drink or eat anything for about 4 hours. So obviously all I want to do is eat and drink everything in the house. I always want to do the opposite of what I'm told.

Also weather, HOW WINTER do you want to be? Speed up time to the weekend when things are getting a bit warmer.

I can't feel my face.

The End

2012-08-05T20:42:00.001+08:00

The last time I wore this dress, a strange man on the street asked me where it was from. I told him it was from the 60's and that I was a time traveller. He was quite impressed to hear that the world's first time machine was built entirely out of popcorn. He tried to bring me home to show me off to his kids, as most people would when coming across a time traveller. I calmly explained there was no time for me to meet his children as I would have evaporated by then.

It's always good to pretend you are a time traveller

How rad is this dress?

.........an outfit post! what the whaaaatttt!?

Thanks to my lovely bestie Hanhan for taking these photos in this dirty disgusting spare block. There was literally filth all around us. But then we went and ate delicious Vietnamese and all was right in the world again!!

also our good friend Mr Sunshine was out and about that day, and it was WONDERFUL. but then...he was gone... MR SUNSHINE, WHERE ARE YOU, I miss you very much, I have made many sunshine themed scrapbooks in your honour.

COOL BEANS. (which is more in reference to the dude from Hot Rod who is on the TV right now, and now I can't get cool beans out of my head.)

pretty in pink.................

2012-07-21T08:47:00.000+08:00

.....a bit of a pink theme across my instagram

1. Beautiful Zara shoes from my wonderful best friend for my birthday

2. Snow white in a pink convertible gate crashed one of my birthday celebrations

3. Shoes from picture 1 all wrapped up pretty in pink

4. Chocolate freckles, they are glorious. I had forgotton about them for too long

5. Sportsgirl lip jam, super cute

6. Wildfox unicorn top/dress

7. Enjoying a Strawberry milk

8. Gucce Flora in Gardenia - delightful

9. More pretty in pink presents

more neon pink please..........

2012-07-01T13:45:00.000+08:00

These shoes are a freakin' dream. I don't think I will ever grow out of this neon pink colour. I think these shoes were about the closet I was ever going to get to these which I have been lusting after for a very very long time.

I wore these last night for some friend's birthday celebrations, and things got a bit wild, and also very cold. I do not care for winter one bit. By the end of the night I'd swapped my heels for my husband's giant shoes, which made for an interesting outfit as well as rocking his giant jacket.

I also walked all the way home in the giant shoes, looking quite ridiculous but also hilarious.

Those are the best kinds of nights. When things get weird....

for rosemary.................

2012-06-23T08:06:00.001+08:00

This blog post is specifically for Rosemary, because she is the most wonderful/beautiful Rosemary there ever was and also because I wanted to give her a shout out because she always makes me feel so good about myself and then I can't fit into any of my boots because I am too big for them, TOOO BIG. Check out her blog Lashe's & Lattes, because she is rather genius, and makes me wish I could be better at make up and also life.

Here are some photos of me the day after I got back from Bali, and was happy to receive this delight in the mail thanks to Somedays Lovin. The awesomely detailed back came at the right time as I had some what of a back tan! Good team work back tan and rad tee. Good teamwork.

Meanwhile, back to the present. I am about to embark on quite an amazing quest today. I will be driving by myself to my best friend's house. Yes maybe it doesn't sound like the world's greatest quest, but I am afraid of driving. I will be back with many tales of my adventures tomorrow.

disparate youth...........

2012-06-21T21:03:00.003+08:00

I have been thrashing the new Santigold album, pretty gosh darn hard core for at least this afternoon. .....Seeing as I only bought it today.

Tunes like these make me want to have ridiculous dance parties with my bestie whilst eating chocolate freckles and rolling down hills.

But not actually rolling down hills because that seems a bit scary and I was never a fan of any kind of slide/ride.

Today I went to the shops on a quest to find chocolate freckles. First I went to Darrel Lea, alas they only sold medium sized freckles, not bags filled with little ones. So then I went to a supermarket, I stared at the shelf for at least 2 hours (5 minutes) getting more and more distressed that there was NO freckles. I started to think freckles had been a figment of my imagination and they did not exist anymore.

Then all of a sudden, a lady dressed as a chef offered me some free Lindt chocolate, and all was right again in the world. As if like magic, I could see the freckles on the shelf! I bought two packets. It was a wonderful day indeed.

These photos are from Sunday's adventures when I celebrated my Grandma's 96th birthday, ate pizza with my brother and his family, and knocked back many a wine to celebrate my father in law's birthday at the local Lawn Bowls Club.

Wildfox is by far the love of my life, check out their latest Star Crossed Lover's Collection and prepare to fall off your seat. So wonderful I could cry.

P.s:

YOU might have noticed, I am back to blogging. I will continue blogging, as long as it is on my own terms. Which means, lots of ranting and strange stories, and pictures that may make your eyes bleed. This is just a document of my rather silly life, and nothing more.

bali times.............

2012-06-16T22:50:00.002+08:00

I've been back from Bali for a week, and I am still wishing I never left, if only for the glorious weather. Winter, I do not care for you!

Haven't had much time to blog lately, and have been thinking about just shutting it down all together, but I am not quite ready to let it go yet, so I shall see what happens.

I wish I was on a forever holiday.

The End

sometimes I wear jeans.....

2012-05-06T15:31:00.005+08:00

Except not at all, I usually NEVER ever wear jeans. I've just always been more of a dress person, its more fun to gallop through fields of daisies in a lovely floaty dress. But alas it is becoming more and more wintry here, MORWINTER. I don't care for it one bit. So I have been trying to ease myself into this jeans wearing business. And I am not hating it as much as I thought!
