Am currently bidding on a Nikon SLR camera on ebay. I don't actually have a paypal account. Or a credit card. I'm not sure how I'll pay for it if I manage to score it.. But I desperately want a good camera!

My mum recently was given an Olympus, and the only one who's been using it so far is my 11 year old brother. He managed to take a surprisingly arty photo of me the other day.. and you can't really even tell it's me - but I'm wearing my staple stripy t-shirt, and you can vaguely see my fringe, so that might make it a tad obvious. I also took an adorable picture of my cat, on the one occasion I've used it so far.

Unfortunately, my computer is being a bit crap so I'll try to put the photos up another time!

I've recently discovered that I could spend hours at a time reading people's blogs - whether for the pretty pictures, wonderful writing, or just the plain good fashion sense.

When I first started discovering the fashion blogs that so many people do, I though well I may as well try that, but previously this blog has only been whingeing about my not so terrible life.

I would like to report that I am healthy, have never had surgery, no diseases, my family is quite middle-class, albeit divorced parents, and I have never experienced any particularly unfortunate events in my life. So yes, nothing is all that bad - although I am the first to admit to a fairly melodramatic mother, a slightly neurotic group of friends, extended family prone to over-exaggeration, and a recovered alcoholic uncle. But is that really news for a middle-class Australian family? I think not boys and girls, I think not.

I'm going to Uni this year (next week is O-week), I have friends who are going to the same Uni as me, which means we can car pool, and maybe I'll do half my degree and decide to go travelling and defer, or maybe I'll do one year and transfer into something that better suits me, but nothing is all that complicated, and I'm just going to go with the flow. And although it's fairly hot today, we're expecting thunderstorms tomorrow, and a cool change, which will suit me perfectly and I'll probably perk up even more. I swear I get seasonal depression in summer.

And I'm going to get a new job and save, save, save!, for a proper camera, as I love taking photos, but I've only had average digital cameras up til now. And besides, I'm going to follow my dream of having a fashion blog! Haha!

Anyway, the point of this was not to advertise my amazing life (ha, what a joke, it's actually pretty boring and normal), but to say that I'm going to reinvent this a bit, and vaguely start a-new. And also to advertise the amazing fashion blogs that have been taking up a great deal of my life at the moment (I've had nothing else to do, don't blame me for looking at pretty clothes all day long!)

Le Blog de Betty - This one because she's actually my idol and inspiration and I kinda just want her hair. And her wardrobe obviously, but just mainly her hair. I also think she looks a bit like Natasha Khan. Maybe?

The cherry blossom girl - Likewise on the hair front. I have MAJOR hair envy for both of these girls. I don't know, I just have this thing about pretty brown, fringed hair.

WishWishWish - Also hair envy, but mainly fashion envy. I love her cute slightly school-girl type look going on. I must admit, my own style is more edgy, but this girl reminds me of Blair Waldorf, who I've often been told I look like.

Cachemire & Soie - This one because there are such pretty pictures!

Ok that's pretty much my rant for the day, I'll try to find a workable camera and start putting some photos up. That's all for today! x

Harumph. I've got my weekly cabaret collaboration in about 10 minutes at the town hall, with supposedly like-minded people. The only experience I've had so far is of a boy who stares a lot, and a girl who looks like a possum. Ok, maybe I'm being judgemental? Who knows.

What I do know however, is the amazing purchases of a pair of Django + Juliette shoes (flat, black, patent, laceup, you imagine the rest) and a long black dress that was 80% off! I'll take pictures, they're both definately worth seeing

Meanwhile, I'll be attempting cabaret - with all those lovely like-minded people. More when I get back!!

sleep alone - bat for lashes = looooooooove

FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK AHHAHAHAHHAHAHHAHA I just watched the new unseen skins and I swear I've never seen anything funnier! "I'm going to fly you into the sun as punishment!"
Fringe time! I'm buying new amazing shoes tomorrow. And hopefully getting my car fixed. And I'm cutting my hair shorter and dying it dark red before uni. And I'm going to stop drinking. I'm going to be a new, better version of myself this year! I'm feeling really quite motivated. Yep, off to sleep now!
(More detailed description of the new me as soon as I can be bothered ie. in the next few weeks. Just because I enjoy talking about myself so much.)

"How much do webcams cost?"

I'm having an ugly day. A shit day. This weather is making me feel like I might need to shoot everyone in sight. If I had a gun that is. I hate hot weather. As I've mentioned several (SEVERAL) times before. I actually hate it. With a passion. I want stockings. Pretty patterned ones. And lace up boots. And hot soup. Not shorts and sandals and salad. I'm one of those people that needs comfort weather. Which is cold rainy, grey weather. Not this horrible 38 degree burning sun - you have to be at the beach else you'll feel like shit all day - weather. And I can't get fucking comfortable. I'm sitting in the lounge room - the only room in our house that has air-conditioning - on the couch, leaning half sideways onto a pile of cushions because I actually can't find any other way to type and sit at the same time.

And I'm looking at all the pretty people on lookbook and pretty much every single one of them is from the Northern Hemisphere, experiencing refreshing winter. I BLOODY HATE AUSTRALIA. And now our takeaway dinner is fucked. They screwed it up again. Well it is noodle box.

2 coffees down

I'm actually obsessed with Grey's Anatomy. It's amazing. That is the extent of my life..
Trying to stop drinking so much coffee. I've only had 2 today. And I've already eaten 2 bowls of pasta and a mediterranean pizza today. This is disgusting. However, I'm fully planning on going for a run tonight to lose some of those carbs. Ew.
