I know its a bit late but I've been super busy.
.
MTV picked up my contract for another 3 months so I'm hard at work on the Music Awards (LOTS of work!)
.
Jodes, Corz and a whole heap of my crew rang in the New Year at the Purple Sneakers House Party. Its the second year I've gone an yet again it was awesome.
.
Think a whole heap of indie-cool kids kickin' it on four levels of DJ's, bands (British India, Blue Juice, Yves Klien Blue, Teenagers) and retro movies (Bill and Ted, Mall Rats) - you get the idea.
.
Despite my best efforts to find something thrifted and fabulous to wear nothing seemed quite right, so in the end I took two things I'd scored at the op shop (A striped maxi tee dress and a 4XL bikie tee) and got all D.I.Y.
.
Pretty straight forward really - I hacked around the print on the bikie tee in a square-ish shape and stitched it onto the tee dress. Then I hacked (I keep saying hacked because my left hand isn't the best with scissors) the bottom off the maxi to make it a mini. Lastly I peeled the studs off some hairbands I bought for $2 on sale from Equip and glued them on the print. Not bad for a collective total of $10 huh?
.
In fact I'm so happy with my efforts I might just have to make my Big Day Out outfit as well - stay tuned....

If I Were A Shoe...

Then I'd be these Platform Pelvis Creepers from Office.

.

A bit punk, a bit pole dancer, a bit fashion - A whole heap fabulous.

.

They're on sale now but they're out of my size in both colours.....who do I have to crawl over to get these creepys?

Fang-tastic...

This ring is one of the things I bought myself with part of my Chrissie present from the boy (Another ring and a wallet with a cool $200 stuffed in it).
.
Its a little bit ugly but I like that about it...plus when I wear it, it looks like its munching on my finger.....

Rib Tickler...

This One Teaspoon cossie really tickled my funny bone - cute eh?
.
Shame I havn't seen it anywhere, as I'm yet to buy a new swimsuit this year....but seeing as I go swimming maybe, three times annually I'm sure last year's striped number witll be fine!

Re-Booting - Take I...

Congo Boot by Patricia Field http://www.patriciafield.com/

I gasped out loud when I saw these chunky lovelies on Kristin's blog - They're Patricia Field for Payless.

.

At first I was bummed because I know that Payless doesn't ship internationally (Where's the love Payless?) However much indepth detective work (that is, a quick google) revealed these are available on Patricia Field's website on sale for a mere $27.50 U.S.

.

I know they're not leather but the fact they remind me so much of a ye olde knight's helmet makes me not care....

.

As you can see from Kristin's pic, she's added some mighty spiky studs - I feel I might embellish mine too once they arrive - I'll let you know once they get here.....
