I really want a hiptop. I would pimp it out like this fo sho; with Japanese phone bling, it would be quite lovely.

and all of the night.

Last night I went to a Ducktails gig with Samm, Kate, Oli and Tim. Ducktails was really good, until the power got cut off. The two supporting bands: Pimmon and Knitted abyss sounded, as kate described, like a crab committing suicide.

AU REVOIR ♥

all day

Izzie, Samm and I spent the day yesterday hitting up numerous op shops. I spent a grand total of 33 dollars, and I bought shoes, three tops, a cardigan, shorts and a skirt. Oh how I love little op shop villages.

I love Swedish brand WEEKDAY. I actually own somthing from there, my favorite shirt, my blue + white striped one. This is their current collection, I love the relaxed feel, all the chunky knitwear and the allusions to the 90s grunge era. I also see a little bit of Swedish blogger influence here, the hat is very Amanda from Modernieter, no? CHECK. (the fourth post down)
I don't really like the many-buckled shoes though, most certainly not my style....but I do love the plain boot wedges!

Yesterday when I was a work, I bought these amazing stockings! I work in a vintage shop, and I came across these a few weeks ago, but I weirdly looked past them. They are quite amazing. They are a very thin, sheer-like white stocking...with little blue rhinestones all over them! I have never seen anything like them! I have sort of been in love with the idea of embellished stockings ever since Rodarte and Mui Mui showed them a couple of seasons ago, but these are kind of a mix between my current obsession with polka dot/heart-print tights and embellished stockings. I am a little worried about wearing them out a lot, due to the fact that they are so fragile and old, my heart will break if they get a ladder, but then again I think, whats the point of having them if I aren't to wear them? I just have to be careful, wish me luck!
au revoir.

POPTEEN

P o p t e e n ♥

Today my mother arrived home from work with the prettiest bag with the best contents possible, all ready for me. My mother has the hook-up, having a friend who is Japanese who she struck a deal with while ago...so whenever her friend returns home from Japan, she brings pop-teen magazine along with her. I blogged about Popteen back when I was fresh from returning from Japan HERE . It is an adorable and aesthetically pleasing, quintessentially Japanese magazine.
The models are just gorgeous, despite them being rather fake-looking, due to Japan's obsession with perfection.
The pages are filled with cute peace sign poses and crazy Japanese fashion, if you can get your hands on it- i recommend getting it! The layouts are so garnished, full of little cartoon hearts and sparkles. So great to look at.
This issue will bring me hours of amusement...despite me being unable to read Japanese.
au revoir.

F F F FRIDAY

Last week I was able to cross off one point on my 'summer wish list' found here. I bought a denim shirt! Its very exciting, and due to my being, well, gravitationally advantaged, it is very long on me. I got it from a store which has by far the worst service in history, the girls who worked there were so rude! The shop is called 'forecast'. I think it's an Australian shop only. It's a shop I don't usually visit, but I did last week as I was in search of a pair of shorts which are copies of the Chloe scalloped-edged shorts, they didn't have them, but I will return later and see if they have arrived. I have also been frantically looking for my heart print stockings and I can't find them anywhere!? Anyone from Sydney know where a girl can find a pair of heart print nylons?
au revoir.
