what i wore: to the B52's

last thursday night i got to make a lifelong personal dream come true: i got to see the B-52's live! they were my first ever favorite band and cosmic thing was the first album i bought with my own money. i dreamed of hanging out with fred, and having hair like cindy, and a fringey dress like kate wore in the love shack video clip. in short: i thought they were the bee's knees, and to be honest, i still do. seeing them live was so exciting and i danced until i could dance no more! B-52's, please come back again soon!

scarf: vintage

chandelier earrings: can't remember! possibly a terrible accessories chain store

black dress: mink pink

daisy brooch: vintage

white boots: vintage (i love these boots so much, so thats why its their second appearance in a what i wore!)

floral purse: jocomomola

what i wore: riot christmas party

last friday i accompanied my boy to the riot record's christmas party. some of you may already know my boyfriend is a music journalist who runs a brain meltingly awesome guitar site. so this is how my twee little self ended up at a metal record label's party! it wasn't as brutal as i was warned it might be, so i survived and no bat's head's were harmed in the making of this post.

here is what i wore:

psychedelic top: vintage

short cardigan: miss shop, myer

black pencil skirt: american apparel

purple tights: the sock shop

white boots: vintage

purple bag (pictured below): mywalit

isn't this bag nifty? its just plain purple on the outside but inside oooh! colors! and its really soft leather, and just the right size to hold the bare essentials.

what i wore: diner date

so i finally worked up the courage to jump on the 'what i wore' bandwagon, yay! deep breath. just don't tease me about my wonky tooth or my freckles, ok? anyway, the reason i finally got the courage to do one of these posts is because the other week i got all cuted up to go out on a weekday date with my boy. aww! we flinted about town and giggled and had a lovely sunny day together before settling down for an afternoon refreshment at melbourne's kitschiest establishment: the soda rock diner. i'm guessing this is australia's revenge for those outback steakhouses in america. check out the fine fare we dined on:

mmm-mmmm! can't you just hear the star spangled banner playing in the distance? just an aside, does the smell of 'root beer' remind anyone else of those lick-n-stick sticker books from childhood? mmm delicious adhesive.
