Poland

Last week I received these crazy beautiful, neon pink "Poland Lace up Boots" from Ego and Greed Shoes.

These would be perfect for the summer months, but seeing as it's winter in Melbourne I'll just have to rock them now. I don't think I have ever gotten so many compliments on a pair of shoes before. I recently wore them to the Jezebels/Lights Melbourne show and many a head turned.

They're super bright, unbelievably comfortable and only cost $79 AUD!!

I believe I will be buying another pair in neon green before the month is out. Y'all should definitely check out Ego and Greed Shoes (you can find them on Solestruck.com!).

Walk, walk, fashion baby...

I'm going through a change of fashion heart. I'm super inspired by pastels at the moment, as well as nu-goth, 90s grunge and Japanese street fashions. I'm incorporating a hell of a lot of thrifted items into my wardrobe and a lot of lavender lace, velvet and ripped tees. Like a May flower or maybe the change in medication dosage allowed me to express my colourful interior on my exterior. Anyway, here is some stuff that is inspiring me at the moment:

I rocked this outfit when my fiance and I hit the arcade on Friday night. We spent a few hours playing Point Blank, Time Crisis and this awesome Japanese game called Bishi Bashi. We then sat by the Yarra River, hundreds of lights from the buildings above dancing on the water's surface, and ate Cherry Ripe and Mint gelati. It was an awesome night and a much needed break from hours of archive searching.

Framing questions

This week I am totally obsessing over glasses. Why? Well, the short answer is that after a quick visit to the optometrist on Saturday I was informed of my short-sightedness and given a prescription for glasses. I chose two rather snazzy pairs of glasses and I will be picking them up in a week (!!) But, in the mean time I am going to obsess over gorgeous gals who rock gorgeous frames if that's alright with you?

Sunshine of your life...

So, it's cold and it's grey and it's miserable here in Melbourne so I decided to brighten up the gloom by wearing my sunniest outfit. I felt like spring time personified in this outfit. I wore it out on a dinner date with Karl, his brother, and his brother's girlfriend at Venezuelan restaurant. I was a ray of sunshine in the midst of all the grey and black that Melbournites do so love to enrobe themselves in in the winter time.

I'm melting

It's supposed to winter here in Melbourne and well, it don't feel like it. It's 20 degrees out there! I'm dying!

Also, I got this sweater for $5 and I freakin' love it. I don't usually rock white but dang it I feel like rockin' it!
