Gloves Gloves Gloves

Wow, I've been really going for gold with the innovative titles recently huh. These photos are from a while ago, when I went to see Harry Potter 7 (something I was way too excited about) and do a spot of record shopping . I got Best Coast, Belle and Sebastian, CSS and The Kinks - it was actually the first time I've bought new records (although the Kinks - Give the People What They Want, is an old one), and I love them so much. Even though they're modern music there's still something so much more charming about hearing them on record, it makes them more real, and the music more tangible in a way. Anyway, the real excitement of this post is that I found gloves that fit! They were only $2 dollars and fit perfectly. I've been searching forever for some gloves that have long enough fingers.

Hmm.On reflection of these photos, my hair wasn't really coping with the wind and humidity as well as I thought it was. I need stronger hairspray. I've been trying to use ones that are made in New Zealand by companies that don't test on animals, but I shall have to keep searching.

Polly Put the Kettle On

I adore Kitty, Daisy and Lewis, I adore tea, and I adore saturday afternoons even more. I think weekends need to come around more often.

I realised this week that one of my legs is slightly longer than the other.  People looked at me a little funny when I yelled this out in the middle of class - understandable, it's a little unsettling I will admit. But it's also quite exciting that perhaps there's an actual reason why I casually fall over all the time. I am hoping the other leg will grow soon though. Preferably before I start swing dance classes in a few weeks - uncoordination could prove rather hazardous.

Vest, Cardigan and Bag- Secondhand

Future Sailors

Future Sailor outfits!! I finally curled my hair with rags, which I've been wanting to do for ages. Those ringlets are indestructable I swear - they survived a whole day of wind, a party, sleep, and are still there!

Me
Dress (actually a very vibrant blue) - Secondhand, shortened by my lovely mother (it used to have tiers that went below the knee)
Shoes- Etsy
Tights- Kmart. Last night someone thought I just had super pasty legs. I was not amused.
Head Scarf- pilfered from family member
Necklace - Op Shop
Brooch- homemade, it's actually just buttons (with ships on them) slid onto a safety pin

Rosza
Dress - Secondhand, borrowed from me. Although she's done this nifty thing and attatched a black singlet to it with a safety pin, which is what creates the black belt/triangle in the middle of it
Boots and Necklaces- Not sure where they came from
Gold belt - Secondhand, borrowed from me
Head Scarf - Her Dad's tie

Curls

These photos were taken the other night, just before I went out to see the new Alice in Wonderland (finally!). I had just had my hair cut and properly curled it with '70s heated rollers! I've been excited for so long about having a new haircut, and had to find a new hairdresser. Luckily my best friends godfather not only cuts hair but understood exactly what I wanted. We talked about '40s film star curls and Lady Gaga's outfits in her latest music video while he did my hair in his lounge turned salon/shirley bassey shrine. As for the movie - it was definitely amazing, especially the clothes, but I still prefer the old one with Whoopi Goldberg as the Chesire cat. Tim Burton did do a fabulous take on the story, although everyone said it was a very dark version whereas I though he might actually get a bit more out there on the storyline. But maybe that's just me. One thing that was way out there however was the fact that I noticed me and Anne Hathaway both a freckle on the palm of our right hand! Gee whizz, I bet you didn't expect that one.

Dress - '60s house coat found in a fantastic shop called vintageville (The weather's suddenly started to get very cold, so I had to wear a woollen vest and skirt underneath)
