There's a party in my head

It's final assignment time and I have the flu and I haven't really been feeling hugely inspired this past week, so I thought I'd share some recent polyvore sets with you...

There's a party in my head... by the wild one featuring post earrings

The title of my post today comes from this song by Tame Impala who are apparently really big in Australia right now - apparently - but anyway I really just love this line "there's a party in my head/ and no one is invited" and even though I'm pretty sure the song is really about drugs I like to pretend it isn't because I don't do hard drugs kids! but seriously I think the line is just as applicable to the imagination. I have parties in my head all the time haha Ever since I was a kid I've lived through my imagination or just enjoyed creating stories in my head. I think imagination is one of the greatest things and sometimes it's nice to be alone with your imagination.

I also like listening to this song on the train in peak hour - "you'll never come close to how I feel" cause that line just makes me feel like I have this awesome little happy secret - and sometimes I do! - that all the grumpy people on the train are missing out on ha! Everyone should listen to that song on the train, peak hour transport can be so depressing.

On that note, have a great week. x

Hello Friday

Apologies for being a bad blogger lately, I've been feeling a little bit like "where is my head?" this week.

I had my final university class for my course yesterday, which felt quite strange/exciting and now I have to make decicisions....scary! Thank goodness Friday has come around again (horray!) 

Here are some of my favourite images of the week...

Tomorrow I am going to attend the Melbourne Slut Walk, which you have probably heard about in the media - in opposition to victim blaming and sexual assult. It is happening tomorrow in Melbourne and Brisbane 1pm. If you are interested you can read more about it here: http://www.facebook.com/pages/SlutWalk-Australia/211758318842182

In the meantime hope you have a lovely Friday!

Some things that make me happy...

I think that if you start to feel sad because you miss people who are in another country or another state it's definately a reason to start surrounding yourself with more happy things!

These are just a few things that make me smile...

1. George Harrison's mustache

2.  Watching Anna Karina movies in bed

3. That 70s show

4. A nice, cheap cup of tea in the afternoon

and

5. Friendship

Guess I have lots to work with hey.

 Have a great Wednesday

Tomboy - Tomgirl

Todays outfit is first and formost warm and comfy!

As you've probably guessed I am very fond of these red jeans and I've only had these shoes for about two weeks but I've found I can wear them with almost anything - so I have been! haha I love them. They are like a cross between King Louis & pirate shoes!! Which is why they are girly but tomboy at the same time - sorry I know my outfit analogys are very strange!!

Outfit: jeans & shoes thrifted, cardi is "fake" vintage, scarf and were socks gifts

And cos The Clash rock jeans to max & would have to be one of my fav tomboy style & music icons here's a song for your Sunday night....

In my dreams

Last night I had a dream about this man, this lovely man and in my dream I was in love with George (I know "are you sure this was a dream"!) All I can say is that it is terribly indulgent when you dream that you are in a relationship with you're musician crush! and even though George broke my heart in the end...though I can't exactly remember why?...I still thoroughly enjoyed my nights sleep haha...

I can't imagine what it must have been like to be a teenager in the 60s, to go to a Beatles show and to see your Beatle crush up so close, yet so far away. It must have been so heart breaking to know that these (very lovable) Beatles boys would probably never know you existed!

Anyway I thought I'd paste an outfit from yesterday onto the end of this story, especially seeing as my outfit was 60s...The weather has also been unbelievably freezing the past week which is why I whipped out this massive scarf - not sure I can go back to wearing moderately sized scarfs after this, it is so snuggly!

 outfit: dress vintage, shoes thrifted, scarf was a hand-me-down

Having a great weekend I hope!

Honey

Feeling lovey, listening to Best Coast and hanging out for Friday already.

Hope your Tuesday was quite nice  :)

Outfit: 1977

Todays outfit was fairly 70s inspired I'm proud to say. I thrifted these clogs last Saturday for $4 which was quite astounding. I just think 70s a-line skirts are the coolest but then again I'm probably slightly bias.

Hope your weekend is going along nicely.

Outfit: Jacket, skirt and clogs all thrifted

Typical self-therapy

What can I say, today has been a grumpy day for me. Things (and my brain!) just haven't been running the way I'd like them too and as you're probably aware, feeling grumpy and out of sorts makes you well, very un-productive - and believe me, it's the first day back from holidays and I NEED to be productive!

Anyway....I have been coping in my usual ways:

a. Talking it through with life-saving bf who is always there for me (so lucky to have such a great bf!!)

b. Trying my hardest to ignore/snub life in general (not as hard as you'd think when you have a blog!)

and

c. Listening to 70s punk (la ultimate solice)

Anyway...have probably listened to this song about ten times already tonight - it's funny when certain songs just seem to resonate with you at certain times and you have to listen to them over and over again isn't it?

Here's to Tuesday!

Peaceful dreaming

Today was such a beautiful day in Melbourne and I was lucky enough to spend it in the company of friends. We went to the beach and looked out at the water sparkling up from the cliffs and ate hot chips in the sun. And then we went back home and played games all afternoon haha, such big kids! We dressed up and played ware-wolves and villagers, out of control (this funny board game), four square which I haven't played for at least ten years! and spud and we ate soup out of one big pot. It was the best.

Hope you had a lovely Saturday too
