New Shoes/ stuff!

I attempted to match my charcoal boots (*gag* ... literally i have come to have a physical reaction to the colour/ fabric!) this was the best I could do. Most unspectacular. I realised they had to go back. A bit cute, yes. Edgy and cool? NO.

Back to Sambag I went at lunchtime and picked up these babies...Yellow Pony Hair Ballet Flats

'Scuse the (very!) Sun-free legs!

And I also got these moulded platform wedges in a khakki grey suede.

Recently I had a voucher for an online store called VelvetFox. Unfortunately most of the clothes don't fall into my 'colour palette' (tends to be greys and blacks) so I waited it out, and finally bought this oversized One Teaspoon Cardigan.Here I am getting ready to go to Costco on the weekend, when Lps called me "Kurt Cobain" ahahaha. It actually has a faux distressing to the knit, what a bizarre addition!?

Does it look like I've snagged the back? Well, nope.. that's just another distressed spot!

Something quite random that I decided to buy on a whim was fake flowers.... this little pink bunch screamed 'buy me' in the window of a High St Interior design store. I gave in, and returned home- completely baffled by my purchase!? Since when do i buy fake flowers!?

And finally, found this lil charm bracelet in my jewellery box today... I popped it on, for fun, and wore it to work. It's tarnished, noisy, and at risk of constantly falling off.. but it's also a fond piece from my uni days.

The letters spell out "LOVE" ... cool!

Charcoal in MY wardrobe!?


This afternoon I found myself under pressure in Sambag, when I stumbled across a shoe style I mildly interested in, however aparently it had "sold out accross Australia... one pair left in your size". I had seen a similar pair in Gorman last week, however struggled to walk in them. This Sambag pair of lace up booties seemed so reasonable and day to day in comparison.

I went for a walk, and came back.. still unsure.

The reason for my hesitation was entirely about the colour. Black and stone was sold out.. what was left was a Charcoal feltish wool blend .. a colour and fabric I reserve for arty 50 Year old women in unconventional knitwear and loud specticles.


I gave in, and now they're in my room, awaiting their first attempt to match to an outfit... they are cross between Clarks (inlcuding the signature rough rubber sole) and every other pair of shoes I already own!
