Just a quickie

I know I should be getting ready for work but.... I just can't help sit down and drink my coffee while watching Ruby Gloom. Yes its a kids show but hey you gotta love it as she's the happiest gal in gloomsville.

So turn on your tv's at 7.15 am and have a look.

Santa baby

Thanks to fellow blogger Super Kawaii Mama all my plans for chores and catching up on clothing plans have now flown out the window.

With this christmas comp now on the cards I want to dive head first into my christmas collections and find every bit of my vintage christmas treats.

Ok so I'll do 1 hour chores and 3 hours blog....

I just adore this comp...thanks SKM

Around town in the heat

In this heat I am trying to find cool places. Sadly in seems to be my car that is the safe haven, due to the wicked aircon i've got installed.

This heat of course poses a few problems. Not to mention general stickyness, but its the daily issue of "damn I wanted to wear that stupid too hot heat"

So I have broken out all the cute little black numbers I can find, and now get to play dress dressup.




At least I can still have tea, ok so its iced now but its still yummy. I've recently been hanging out at a cute little place perfectly named Planet Chocloate where I can indulge in my fav teas as well as crepes. I can't think of anything better than a crepe with ice cream and hot melted chocolate.

So after surviving 34 degree heat here in Melbourne my best advice is to break out those swimmers. pack a picnic and head down to the beach. My buddies and i have been heading down the St. Kilda and Brighton way in the early evening for some sunset fun and merriment. We can highly recommend this, especially when you can have a quick dip to cool off then head back to the shore for some crackers and dips

Friday 13th & Ms Palmer

Its friday the 13th and I am going to try and dodge the crazy people. Ok so that does include me but I am taking todays vibe and inspiration from one of my fav artist. The amazing Amanda Palmer....a woman who has been an amazing inspiration for me for many years now.

So today I will put the earphones in and crank the ipod up to max while I listen to dresden dolls and Amanda F**king Palmer. If you have never heard her i suggest you jump online and get an earful. Plus it doesn't hurt to see this loverly gal in corsets and lingerie alot of the time.

C is for cookie thats good enough for me

Yes, as a child of the 1980's I adore sesame street and the Muppets. Therefore I am excited to find some of the coolest things around for their 40th birthday. Plus you gotta love that cookie monster is on google. So in honor of all things sesame I have gone and hunted out some of my old and new fave SS treats.

Especially when it comes to stuff like cover art like these from the 1970's and 1980's. Sesame Road and Sesame Street fever featuring the rubber ducky disco remix.

You have to love when SS do covers of stuff like Mad Men as well.

Or you can indulge in these yummy cake pop treats from Bakerella.
In this big bad world you gotta love a place where monsters, people, animals and whatever's all live together in harmony.



Ok so this last one is just coz I don't think cookies are a sometimes treat either.

down the rabbit hole

Necklace - Made by C
Make Up - Benifit and Mac
Slip - Peter Alexander

Well just its nearly been a month since I hit the net, damn you daily work and internet shortage. But now I'm back and ready to indulge. So whats been going you may ask that has caused me to get stuck in the real world. Well.....I've been at a lingerie and sleepwear conference. Oh yes a few days to play with so many pretty things that my suit case could hardly fit all the yummy samples I brought back. So I will also be posting some conference images etc.

Well as you can see by the above shot this month I'm going for a bit of a darker look, plus I'm joining in the month long test of NO JEANS. A group of gals and I are trying to break the cycle of women always wearing jeans. So for all of november and december jeans will be put to the back of the wardrobe unless worn to work in (and since I don't actually plan on doing any manual labour during these months I think I'll be fine)

But the coolest thing I think for me is tomorrow is Halloween. Sure its not a big thing over here but it is my wedding anniversary and a great excuse to dress up.

So everyone go raid that sexy wardrobe you know you have and have some fun this weekend.

Luv & Lashes to you all
