It's here..

"The color of springtime is in the flowers, the color of winter is in the imagination."


Winter has come. I could sook about the bone chilling cold, the rain, the short days and the guys who grow facial hair as a means of keeping warm. But I won't - I will be a positive beast, and welcome with open arms the following:



Snow. If it's gonna be this freezing, it may as well look nice while it's at it. (No, I'm not expecting it to snow in Melbourne, I understand I will probably have to make the trip to see it) and I can do that if I have enough money. 
And for the money I will need:


A JOB! Praying hard that I can get one ASAP - June 17th is my one and only exam and then it's farewell Centrelink and hello potential homelessness if I can't earn money. So fingers crossed something decent pops up soon! And once I'm earning some cash, I may be able to splurge on such items as:


Winter dresses. Seriously, these are amazing. I stumbled across ModCloth today and was literally furious at myself for not discovering it earlier. Their dresses are some of the best I have seen for a long time. It's such a shame they don't have a shop in Australia - international shipping is so expensive! But point is, with cash, I can maybe buy similar dresses, put on some heels and tights and look moderately attractive while consuming expensive beverages. Cos you know, I'm part of the workforce now.


And finally, what better way to warm up than with a good spoon sesh. (Though just looking at the amount of flesh exposed here makes me uncomfortably cold. If it were me, both parties would be so under that blanket, just sayin'.)

So those are just a few things I look forward to in the next few months. Winter, COME AT ME!

Bellatrix 2.0

So on Saturday night I'm going to a Tim Burton themed 21st. This is who I am dressing up as:


Sweeney Todd is one of my favourite movies EVER, and I love Helena, so Mrs Lovett is my obvious choice. Josh is going as Sweeney Todd - we went and bought our costumes today. We literally spent hours in Greensborough Savers finding the right attire - hopefully we pull it off (I think I'm set, apart from the hair - not sure what to do there.)

As it happens this will be the second time I've dressed as a Helena Bonham Carter character - I was Bellatrix in 09 for a Harry Potter themed night we had.



So I know these characters are actually quite similar looking - but Mrs Lovett is more feminine, Bellatrix is just absolutely insane.

Meanwhile, I am getting an early night cos I am WORKING tomorrow - only for a day, doing stocktake at my housemate's work. But money is money, and I need it epically! x

Twenty-Two

THE BIRTHDAY:

 Birthday lunch at Laurent Patisserie in Westfield Doncaster
Macaroons! These were brilliant. Chewy and delicious
Upon returning home I found Potter in my lounge room, complete with my Queen ensemble. The boy is truly a genius with balloons... he made the scepter from just looking at pics of them in Google images.
Clothes and book from the pares and headband from Kayla.. and tangy sticks from NZ, YES.
Socks from Meggie
Watch from Tom and Rory (from webcam, can't see it too well, but it's awesome)
This beast is "Lady BaBa" a handmade gift from Meg. She will travel to many locations in the future and will show up in the most unexpected of locations... stay tuned
My birthday ended with this beast on the big screen. See Limitless. The general consensus agreed it was good. (Not Shona.. but she was one out of 5 so whatevs.)  
So that is my day. It has been extremely enjoyable and I feel my roomie Kayla must be thanked for making my day very special, with her midnight gift, balloons, lunch date and movie date not to mention the beast of a cake she has created (will be pounded tomorrow night before we head to the infamous Stolberg). Love you bro!

AND thankyou to my lovely fam for the presents that arrived at the perfect time! I love them all! Love you guys and wish you could have been here!

Out of the closet

Coming out of the closet tonight:


Dress: Princess Highway

Could not really afford this, but it's my birthday and I will get a new dress if I want to.
