Up Front and Personal

So, yesterday I ventured out of the apartment for the first time in days and went into the city to spend my gift voucher. I wore:

Witchery slouchy beret, Kookai leather jacket, Cotton On cardigan, Lee jeans, belt and necklace were presents


This is the necklace that I bought from Pigeonhole. Pretty, yes? Slightly overpriced in my opinion ($55) but since I bought it with a voucher, technically it didn't cost me anything. And I think I already know what I am going to spend the remainder of my voucher on ...

Today I have the opportunity to buy a second-hand DSLR, a Canon 300d for $350. I really want a SLR, as it will really make a difference to the quality of pics on this blog, as well as for when the boy and I go overseas later this year. However, I am slightly apprehensive about buying a second-hand camera ... If anyone has any tips or suggestions, PLEASE let me know!

Things I Actually Did Yesterday

• Texted my parents
• Did a load of washing
• Used part of my voucher, which is now extended until August. Yay!
• Sent of my resume for a holiday job
• Helped my boyfriend with his resume

Aaaaand that’s pretty much it! Haha, woops … didn’t really get much done on my list, but oh well. I got out the house which was nice, bought a new necklace, and had gelare for dinner. Definitely a win in my book!

Things I HAVE to do today

• Call my parents
• Study
• Get my maxi skirt taken up
• Head into the city to use my voucher which expires today
• Arrange to have my dad’s car parked somewhere else
• Call a marketing agency about work experience
• Email another company about article contributions
• Work on my boyfriend’s resume
• Fill out my graduation forms and send them off
• Email my holiday job to see if I can get enough hours to pay for my massive holiday trip post-graduation
• Write out the bazillion blog posts that are floating around in my head
• Go to the gym

Can I do it all? Probably not, but I am going to try. Hopefully. I have been severely lacking in motivation the past few days (weeks), but I am feeling a change. Wish me luck!

The Present

Hollaaaa!

WELL! Today at 5pm I submitted my last assignment ever! Can I get a "WOOP WOOP!" Haha. Well, for now anyways. I am considering the possibility of postgraduate studies in the future, but not for a long while. At this stage I have one week of uni, then three exams and then I am done! If you can't tell, I am pretty freaking excited about this fact.

Yesterday morning, the boy and I drove my parents to the airport as they were jetting off interstate. As he was hugging me goodbye, my dad slipped me a fitty dollar note (yo) into my pocket for breakfast. So S and I headed down to the Naked Fig in Swanbourne for an amaaaazing brekkie.

Here are some photos I took of the beach after we ate.

They are a little bit same same, but meh. They are my photos and this is my blog! :)

A glimpse into the future

This is a preview of my next post. I can't be bothered writing it now - I'm laying in bed, trying not to think about my final assignment EVER (for the forseeable future, not including exams) that is due tomorrow. It is not going well.

Ouch!

How is this even slightly ok? I was reading this latest post from Harper and Harley today, and she blogged about these super nice Bec & Bridge fedoras. They are pretty nifty looking, and I admit, I am a bit of sucker for 'pre-sale' and the thought of obtaining an item before other people. I could just see myself swanning around in a 'hazelnut' or 'dove grey' fedora, gaining admiring looks from all and sundry.

Pics from Harper and Harley, who got them from Oracle Fox and Grand Social.


However, when I clicked on the link to check them out, these pretty little hats are a whopping TWO HUNDRED AND FORTY FIVE DOLLARS! (Yes, I am that shocked that I felt compelled to write out the whole amount so that I could make use of the caps lock)

Again, how is this even slightly ok? How can a HAT, albeit a very pretty one, cost so freaking much?!?!?! Maybe it is the student budget conscious part of me, or maybe a bit of my mother, but I cannot fathom paying so much for a hat. Especially a Bec & Bridge one! If it was Chanel or some brand like that I might understand it a bit more, though still not want to pay so much. But Bec & Bridge? Have I missed something? Since when are they so freaking exy??

Seriously, what the heck is going on?

Hipsta-Random

Hey-ohh!

Here are some random pics that I have taken this semester with Hipstamatic on my iPhone. I use that app so much it's insane. Makes normal images quirky, and beautiful even ones even more so. Well, in my opinion anyway! I love how you can't really judge the frame of the photo; they always end up looking a bit different to how you lined it up.

There is a store on Beaufort St in Mt Lawley that sells the brand of shirts that Charlie Sheen always wears (wore) on Two and a Half Men. I effing hate those shirts! They drive me insane. Anyway, I snapped that pic during the Charlie Sheen media winning/wizard/whatever frenzy.
