Lomo Love

1. Flying home over the Southern Alps

2. The council flats across from my apartment block.

3. Skiing - you can't see it but we were above the clouds and they were a beautiful shade of pink. So delicate. 

4. Flying in the small airplane my parents fly, around the alps again. 

5. The plane we flew in. 

6. Me, Rose, and Tori - school friends. :D 

7. Rose and I - her 21st birthday party. Love that girl.

These were all taken on my Holga camera - I just got them back, they all came out beautifully - I love the square format much more than regular format. :)

Somebody to love

Top from Max - it has sail boats on it!! So cute.

Cute nude skirts from Portmans - I'm obsessed with nude colours.

Shirts also from Portmans - notice the neutral colours?

Again, dresses from Portmans... oh so pretty. Can imagine the stripy one on a sail boat with red shoes and a red cardi...

Bag I'm buying from Witchery - I have been looking forever for a good quality leather bag that will fit my laptop for Uni. this is huge, and I'm willing to pay the price for it...

My latest list of wants. If I did buy all this though, I'd be broke. I was flicking through the latest Vogue Australia and in one of the trends section it showed most of the trends I'd been wearing lately: Nudes, denim shirts, military and stripes. 

Hope everyone has a good weekend, I'm going to my friends 21st tomorrow night. I went to the dentist today and he pulled out one of my wisdom teeth. Owch. Then I'm flying back to Wellington on Sunday afternoon.

Semester starts on Monday! I'm taking 3 papers, Psychology crime & law, Advanced Research Methods (ew, mandatory), and HR: Remuneration and Rewards. Should be an interesting semester.

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!

Some inspiration

Current book love - it's just been turned into a movie with Julia Roberts... Liz Gilbert has such a way with words to make you think about things without pushing it in your face, all the while being witty. Her time eating for pleasure in Italy, Praying in India and loving in Indonesia. Really easy read, but very enlightening. 

When I have a job with lots of money, I can't wait to decorate my house. It will be a renovation of beauty! And I'll have a linen closet like this where my sheets and towels match and everything is tied up in bundles.Via. Automatism.

Lonely hearts cut-out underwear... oh so prettttty.

Cute blouses and jean-shorts... so cute. I'm addicted to shirts at the moment.  Can't remember where the image is from, if it's yours, tell me. :)

I'm addicted to my Homography Holga camera - although the last batch of photo's came out blurry... I think I need to be using 800iso film... But anyway, isn't this a beautiful picture? It's the LA skyline via Lomography. 

  Really cool jeans from the label Cheap Monday which can be found at the store Stable in Wellington. I think I need to do this to my old distressed jeans... give them a new life. 

Cute outfit from Fashion is a Playground - she's so adorable and French. I'm teaching myself French online.

Beautiful photo of the Eiffel tower - also can't remember who took it, but it's so soft and pretty. 

Another of my favourite bloggers, Le Flassh - she has awesome style.

Just thought I'd share a few favourites and inspirations with you all... I've been a bit slack on the blogging front, but exams are over, and I'm home now! I have a week down here in the cold before starting uni again. It's my 21st birthday on the 12th of July! Eek! My party's on the 17th, I can't wait. :D

Gorgeous

One of my favourite Kiwi designers, Cybele, just released their summer lookbook! I looove their dresses, they seem to be able to do anything with silk and prints. A few posts back, you can see my very first piece of theirs I bought from their Unity collection. I'm just in love with these prints and styles... so beautiful. 

I've had one exam down, one to go... I really can't be bothered anymore though... but I guess I'll just have to keep pushing through!

Someone else's story

 Unknown via Le Love.

I sometimes think a year seems like such a long time. A year, until I finish university. So much can happen in a year. But I want it to be over with so much. I want to go out and explore. Not have to be guilty about going out because I don't have any assignments due that week.

I want to travel. I want to see the world. I want to be busy. I want so much. 

I get in this mood during winter. Blah.

That Time

So... I just realized I have to do another semester at uni. Next year. Thought I'd actually finish my degree this year, but not so - due to the uni changing the points values on my courses. So. Two more semesters and 6 courses to go. 

More and more study. Yikes.

I think my flatmates are annoyed with me. Maybe. I forget things like what day the rubbish goes out. I really need reminders of stuff like that. Mind you, they need to put their dishes away more often.

Paparazzi

I want this dress from Cybele for my 21st so much! It's batwing, and has a moth print! And it looks adorable with the booties that I just bought... 

I need to be put on a short leash with my spending habits right now... it's shocking. Although the dress has 25% off, and it's designer... and it's my favourite designer. They just KNOW how to make beautiful garments.

By the way, that photo was taken on my phone so you'll have to excuse the shoddy quality. 

In other news (however, still spending) I bought this Lomography camera on Trademe the other day! I've been wanting a lomo for a long time, and I've read the reviews on the Holga and they look good. I love film cameras and I really need to spend more time doing my hobby - it's good for me.

I'm going to SATC2 tonight with my friend and having cosmos after. So excited! My neck won't be as sore next time either. I was in the front row of the hugest theatre last time, it was disturbing. 

It's the end of the semester! I have an assignment due on Tuesday and then two exams! I'm excited! My HR lecturer gave us the questions already, we know 10 out of 17 are going to be on the exam, which is awesome, and Behaviour Analysis is just going to be scarily hard.

Hope everyone has a lovely weekend! It's Queens Birthday weekend here, so it's a long weekend... not that I will notice.

Isn't this so cute?! I so want a skirt like that!

When She Cries

I love these pictures from Heritage 1981's photoshoot - oh the clothes look so beautiful, and it's so warming to my rain-drenched heart. 

We've had 11 full days of wetness here in Wellington - Winter has hit. But it's not winter where you can wear nice coats and scarves with your hair down, it's winter where you have to wear rain jackets with hoods and can't have an umbrella cause it will turn inside out in the wind.

I did buy myself a pretty coat yesterday.. from Portmans.

It's actually navy blue. And you can't see in this picture, but it has a really wide collar - if I flick it up it's all 'HI Dracula!". Love it.

Hope everyone is having a lovely week. It's the last week of semester for me, so right now I should be studying for my test on Thursday... x
