what items are worth...

my partners sister arrived from texas and is staying with us for 3 months along with her 2 very young sons.
not going to lie... i am actually fine with it. at first i thought that i would have a conundrum being surrounded with so many people. but to my surprise i am loving the company, and the children are just so cute and interesting to watch. yes there are tantrums and some crying during eating time but its all so new to me and being an only child i am loving the fact that i am finally a part of a big family.

now i know what your all thinking "its early days yet"... but honestly i think i will be fine, i just need to keep my distance when i need space and just look at it as a lesson in social etiquette and compromise. i think in the end if i survive this, i will be a stronger person.

i am however very exhausted because of constantly trying to pick up after myself and contributing to the house work. it is my own fault for i obviously don't really feel at home just yet and i find the need to be useful, im just glad that i have the garage and this blog to retreat to if and when i need.

had a garage sale. it rained, it was cold, it was heart breaking. it was difficult for me to let go of my possessions and even harder to put such a low price on things that i still loved. like this day bed from ikea for instance.

at the start of the day i had it on sale for $50, which i thought was fair enough considering a. i still loved it and b. i believed that for $50 it was a bargain for it originally cost me $120 to purchase.

as the day progressed however, i realised that not many shared my love for this bed, nor did anyone really take much notice of it. in sheer desperation to make room and not to impose on my partners mother any longer, i really promoted the bed and even put it down to $20... that's right $20!!!! eventually it was sold to the third last customer of the day. the burden was finally lifted and soon after aggravation that i had to lower it down in price substantially.

in the end my partner and i earned $80 each, his star wars, our old books and my old unused

clothes were a big hit...

watched terminator salvation.

this movie was just what i needed to suck me out of reality, even for just a few hours.

favourite character=jadagrace berry; who wouldn't fall in love with this gorgeous face...

wore
jeans-golf punk
cardigan- fashion fair
singlet- bonds
jacket- westco

unfortunately no recent buys this week... have been too busy and broke to go shopping. as soon as i have this moving out nightmare sorted i will no doubt be back in the mall spending up a storm.

until then
xoxoxo

ok im back...

ok... i have been away for so long and im so sorry. here is what i have been up to.
pcd concert, lets start here shall we....

the world domination tour was amazing.... nicole was a goddess, her voice was fantastic and her stage presence magnetic. being so far away i couldn't really take any decent photos so below is a photo of what the girls looked like on the night courtesy of today network.

now as much as i applaud the performance by the pcd girls, nothing could compare to the powerful voice and the narrative show given by supporting act lady gaga. she was quirky, intelligent, peculiar and magnificent.

i wore shorts-supre
singlet-target
bangles- diva
boots-scooter

also thanks to all who gave me sound advice on what to wear to the concert. kept all your pointers in mind, go rock, keep it cool, don't wear shoes that are too high. :)

the big move....
basically the pipes from the bathroom upstairs has started to leak through to the hallway downstairs. for weeks we had complained to the landlord who did nothing to help. after two weeks of constant puddles in the carpet and raindrops of brown rusty water from the ceiling my partner and i just had enough so we decided to move. to be honest we have been planning to move into his mums house for some time now in the hopes of maybe saving enough money for a deposit on our own home or at least until we find out whether my partner gets into the army, but it wasn't to be until the end of august after our holiday.

why not till august you ask? well i really did need that time to just ease into such a big change in my life as i hate change and love planting my feet in the ground. i am also a germaphobe so new surroundings kind of freak me out. anyway, it took a lot of courage for me to over night, pack up all my belongings and leave my home of 9 years. not to mention having to throw away a lot of belongings that just could not fit into this new lifestyle. needless to say the night before the move i was restless and highly upset. but i thought to myself that i should get used to the idea of moving especially if my partner gets into the army. this year and the following will be a big challenge for sure but one that is necessary for life to move on and for me to just grow up.

friends 21st... a bit of fun after days of stress, we were able to just unwind a little at a friends 21st birthday. (well more my partners friend than mine). also this is the bedroom part of our garage. (yes thats right we are living in the garage for at least a year) the lounge half is still full of boxes so no point in showing you that area just yet.

i wore
dress-supre
stockings-target
shoes-sports girl
black cardigan-supre
denim jacket-supre

cardigan-a live girl
singlet-ladakh
skirt-sass

oxoxo

be back soon...

hi guys sorry for my absence....

our unit is no longer inhabitable. the plumbing upstairs has burst so instead of moving in august as intended, we had to fast track moving into j's (my partners) mums.... yes that is right his mums... anyway as a result my computer is out of production until i figure out which plug goes into which socket and hope that it doesn't blow up on me.

so stay tuned for updates on pcd concert, recent buys and my new home.

xoxox

pcd...

and i will be one of the many catching them on tour....

thats right! tuesday 19th of may i will be seeing the girls live. admittedly they will be very itty bitty in size due to my seats being in the 'nose bleed' section but hey i know i will have fun....

cant wait!

QUESTION?

im not one that goes to many concerts so i need your advice on what to wear.

some input would be great. :)

mothers day

a big star trek fan from when she was young, we decided to shout j's mum gold class tickets to the new movie. the experience like always was memorable. i mean how often do you get to sit in comfortable recliners and get served ice cream sundaes, cheese platters, lemon tarts and alcohol while watching a movie. unfortunately the movie itself was a little unenjoyable for me. kind of had 3 micro sleeps in the middle of it.

my favourite character=sulu played by john cho. he was funny and most importantly he kicked ass...

wore

skirt-target

shoes-kmart

stockings-big w

belt-target

top-valley girl

woke up early to make my mum a special mothers day card.

with it i gave her a necklace i bought from the markets and gave her some money to put towards a winter coat.

i also took her out to lunch. i was thinking high tea in the city but she wanted KFC so yeah... KFC nothing special but it was her day so i played along. now, she loves going to second hand shops and so we spent majority of the day looking through unwanted treasures. i bought for her a couple of hats; nothing for myself...

wore

black harem pants-OTM

necklace-big w

singlet- bonds

shoes-philippines

mothers day was exhausting... see the bags under my eyes after the two days were over...

but hey, i would do anything and everything for the ones i love. even if it means spending 2 hours watching a movie that you don't like ;)

xoxox

grey shirt by sass

harem pants by OTM

belt by dotti

this movie was nail biting, edge of your seat brilliant....
my favourite character= 'gambit' played by taylor kitsch



went out to brunch with the girls. after ordering we waited a good 45min before getting our meals. to apologise for the poor service we were given the meals for free.

wore
pants-valley girl
top-cotton on
necklace-myer

QUESTION???
while out emma and i decided to do a little window shopping. she thought i should buy a pair of these harem pants from bardot. my issue is, i know for a fact that these are just one of those fads that will last a season and never return. so.... do i go for the really nice, beautifully made $70 pair from bardot or the cotton/synthetic version from supre. some help and input would be great.


shoes by coochi and my very first pair of leggings with this foot thing from valley girl...
(please note that the legs shown in the above photo are not mine. my legs are not as nice, slim nor long..)
