La de da.

Alexandra from Lovely Pepa - She has such cute summer style. So simple and easy. <3

Mode d'amour has the most AWESOME room ever. I want it so badly. Her style is awesome too. She got me obsessed with shirts. 

Vanessa Jackman is pretty much the best streetstyle photographer. Love her work.

Things that are irritating me right now: 

•My mother pressuring me to get a boyfriend. If it's not happening, it's not happening. 

•The fact that I am dating, but that I don't feel the slightest thing for the guys I'm dating. 

•The fact that I have absolutely no idea if I even want a boyfriend right now, in the middle of my last year of studies. 

Things that have made me happy: 

•Went on a date to see Inception - the movie was fantastic and mind boggling. 

•Got an email from my lecturer asking if I would be interested in a summer intern scholarship (!!!!!!!). 

•Packing to go home today. Woo! 

•Friends who understand where I am coming from.

The 21st

So last weekend was the weekend of my 21st. My family came up, on Friday night, we had dinner, and Saturday we partied. Was a really fun weekend but exhausting at the same time!

Above is my cousin and myself. We're dorks. 

My mum, dad and myself. I think I'm the normal one. O_o

The birthday cake - I'm still trying to get through it, there's a 1/4 left! It's so sickly sweet and the icing is amazing! 

Sooo full.

El Horno (The Oven in Spanish - yeah I know!) was where we had the party. The Sangria's were in JARS. I love it. When I buy a house, I'm going to have jam jars as glasses. And vases.Very Stolen Girlfriends Club Runway show. 

Speeches were lots of fun. Mat is in the background, playing 'Happy Birthday' On the piano. What a sweetie. 

Getting ready for the 21 shots of sickly sweetness - they were like syrup. Don't worry, they were shaker shots. Still felt sick afterward though.

Down the hatch.

All done! By the way, the barman was called 'Ben Harper' - yeah we wanted his signature too. 

Finally - I've been obsessed with shirts. Denim, beige, khaki, cream - you name it. Loving tab-sleeve, loose fitting ones. I think I'll be wearing them throughout spring and summer. They're just so handy! I need to figure out more ways to wear them though.

I've started going back to the gym. Feeling sore, but good. Really wish I was swimming instead though. I think I need to buy myself a cute swimming cap and a new one-piece. 

LOVE.

Today...

 

Just some photo's from home and what I did today - What I wore: Zara skirt, Glassons denim shirt, silver jewelery from various places.

1. trying to do the 'pose' all these fashion bloggers do... did I get it? 

2. & 3. More poses/laughing.

4. Driving mum's new 2005 BMW Convertible. Yeah, it's flash and fun to drive... tee hee. I'm not insured so we went out the backroads. 

5. Trying to get a new profile photo for facebook.

6. My kitty, Lucy, she's been sick (they say it's cancer) but she's bounced back so much, but she has lost a lot of weight. 

7. Some seeds mum was sprinkling in the garden.

8. Me in the plane mum and dad were flying - my family fly small planes. We went up to 8000 ft. So pretty but cold up there.

9. Lake Tekapo in all it's wintery goodness - so pretty. 

10. The mountains (part of the southern alps) were all covered in snow. Such a lovely time of year to go flying!

Hunting Heffalumps

This reminds me of my gran... she loved Pooh. All those books I was brought up with with her reading them to me.  I remember sleeping over in the old house my mum grew up in, and her reading us Pooh stories in her big bed with light blue quilts.

I miss her so much.

Like a Prayer

Me and Jaime

I've been thinking on friends lately. The concept of friends. People we share things with that we wouldn't share with someone we had just met - once these people have earned our trust, however, we find a point where it's fine to share our secrets and joys with them.

I think the best thing about friends is that you can do random things with them without being judged. You can go off on a trip in the car, stop off somewhere random and proceed to do silly things just for the hell of silly photo's and some giggles.

My friends keep me grounded. Keep me from falling off the edge sometimes, and keep me sane. I love my friends for that.

This week has been intensely busy - assignments, tests, meeting up with people (I bought my friend Anna some flowers for her 21st present. I also love flowers!) and my brother and his fiance arriving yesterday. I cooked them a chicken pie. Delish.

Too late for lovers

Photo by me. From a shoot I did earlier in the year.

I'm heading to Nelson tomorrow. Gong on the ferry early morning, get in late morning to Picton, then take a bus to Nelson from Picton. Someone will pick me up from the bus stop.

My aunt is pretty bad at the moment. She's hanging by threads. I'm scared that she'll die when I'm there. I know that I have a funeral to go to over summer, it's just a matter of when.

Anyway, Just to let you know this will be the last of my posts for a while. :)

Sleeping Sickness

I'm now officially obsessed with Juliette Hogan, NZ designer who was at ANZFW this week... how beautiful are her clothes? Since I can't afford them, however, I shall get my mum to make me a beautiful lace circle skirt like the one above. So pretty and feminine.

My mother and father flew to Rarotonga in the Cook Islands for two weeks. I'm super jealous, obviously. I went there in 2007 with my grandma and mum, and it was such a lovely trip. We have local friends there now, and everyone is just so friendly. You meet someone on the bus and they give you a basket full of pawpaw the next day.

I haven't posted my heels yet, but here they are:

Aren't they gorgeous? <3
