Le Weekend
July 19, 2009 § 15 Comments
The sky was cluttered with clouds on Saturday and I channeled the sky and dress in pretty much in all grey. If only I had some grey tights and shoes…
I actually got a blowdry on saturday, and as soon as I stepped out it was all messed up again. And it didn’t help that I had to walk pretty much everywhere, a downside of being 15.
Later that night disaster struck; the internet crashed, T.V. was a black hole, I was inspiration-less (so I couldn’t design) and I broke the last sewing machine needle. So I retired to my bedroom unseasonably early (9:50pm) burned some scented candles, listened to Adele and read chic lit. But not for long, I was distracted by and somewhat obsessed with the shadows my candles made and snapped some pics.
This morning I woke up in a sweat because I totally forgot I had a housewarming to go to and I had no idea what to wear. After about an hour of trying things on, taking it off, tweeting about it and watching ‘Wizards on Deck with Hannah Montana’ (a crossover of Wizards of Waverly Place, Suite life on Deck and Hannah Montana) I finally settled on this:
The weather was splendid, ask any Melbournian and they would tell you today’s weather (well up to 4-ish) was just beautiful. I took this with my phone on our way home and it’s now my screensaver, I’ll be looking at it whenever the weather is lousy.

PS. noticed the new, more ‘gentle’ watermark? I’ll be trialling a few over the coming weekends.
I really like both of your skirts.
The weather was nice today, a bit windy in the city though, much nicer than yesterday.
I love the way you tied the belt in the first outfit and reading your blog makes me want to visit Australia. x
I think I’ll wear a big black bangle I bought from Hello Gorgeous and I want some high shiny heels.
Grey outfit could stop traffic- gorgeous!! I was going to hunt down that belt until I read that it was thrifted….sigh….!!

hey Angela
Have you thought of making some stuff to sell on Etsy.com? It might make you some money to buy SHOES!!!

*sigh* you’re so well put together Angela dear, I always feel like some sort of shabby hobo when I see your awesome ensembles.
Xx
As Kath & Kim would say, all the ensembles are noice!
I think you should start making clothes and sell them at the local markets. I can think of one Aussie brand that started making clothes and selling them at the Portobello market. =)
@Christine Thanks. I’m loving candles at the moment
@Just me Thanks. I have thought about it but I’m really busy with school and stuff.
@Grant pshtttt don’t say that!!! I’ve seen your outfit posts ( I might not always comment but I always look) and they’re all great!
@5ft0 Thanks. Like I said I’m just so busy with school right now
maybe later on.
