Thinking about Christmas

The stores are full of shoppers, christmas decorations and people scratching their head wondering why all this is happening. Personally I like to leave the world of Christmas to december but it seems the retail world won't let me. So I've put on my santa hat and started to plan.

This year I have the joy of hosting my family in my new home. *jumping up down with excitement here* so I'm in planning mode. At current count there will be a guest in every spare room and my theme is Rockabilly Christmas or maybe Vintage. Not sure yet but what ever I do its going to be big.

I'm thinking lots of 'merry' cocktails, cute little cupcakes and very cheery place settings. So time to hit the net for planning ideas.

oh the choices!

Ok so it that time of the year again, winter is ending and I really fancy a new hair color. I'm thinking a bold red, but not sure. So I am looking at one of my favorite friends from QLD Miss Mishka to figure out what to do.

I adore Miss Mishka's style, she is so bold and sassy yet has this amazing little girl quality about her. The photo below is the sort of color I'm thinking of, although today's dye job effort (regarless what the box said) didn't really change my color much. So I think the next step is even bolder color.

Fingers crossed it works out well, as soon as the color works I'll post photos.

Skull Highway BESERK ARMY DRESS

Needless to say there was much shopping needed. Plus the added bonus that us vic gals will be able to see the new designs at Circa Nocturna in march.....if you need a model just drop me a line I'll so do it. I adore this label because its hard to find good aussie designs with quality made products.

Cherries & Made By C

Sunglasses by Portmans

I do love my rockabilly style especially when it comes to my jewellery. As you can see I have gone for the classic red and black, as well as cherries. This is a great style as you can put your own twist on it.

Must admit there is nothing i find better than finding a local gal who can use simple pieces that capture the vibe I'm after. I wear a few pieces from Made By C, and have to giggle when I see simple pieces in mass produced stores like Diva.

So I guess what I'm really trying to say is keep your eyes open for the indpendant designers, online and in that big wide world of ours. A great little web site (apart from Etsy) is Shanalogic , where you can find all manner of things from T-shirts to necklaces from all around the world.
