Sometimes the only way to salvage a photo is to stick a vintage filter on it…

I had a sewing day today. Because I got wrapped up in my sewing, I forgot to go out early afternoon to take my photos, thus having outfit shots with shitty lighting.

Luckily I managed to somewhat rectify the situation with filters!

Anyway, this is what I wore today. I made this play suit earlier this year, and don’t wear it often enough!

It has the cutest tea set pattern on it

Can’t wait to show you what I sewed it the coming days!

Let’s have a real talk about the weather…

I am so sick of the weather at the moment. Basically I had this awesome outfit planned out because the weather was yucky and cold the night before. When I woke up in was super hot, so I decided to wear something less warm. This was a bad choice.

Guess what temperature it was at uni.

It was a very cold temperature. Despite my smiling face, I was not a happy chappy.

The moral of this story is, don’t change your mind about pre planned outfits, because you might end up cold and miserable.

Today 3/4’s of my band got together to catch up on general band stuffs and make art for our upcoming ep release. I got bassist Tim to take these photo’s before we went for a skate as a break from being holed up in the kitchen and buried beneath art supplies.

I hit the sewing machine again last night and made this playsuit. I’d had the material sitting around for a couple of months. The only bad thing was it took longer than expected to sew (probably about 6 hours all up. I thought it would take about 4)

I also took some photos of the boys (although, mostly of Jake because he loves being silly in front of the camera)

These two photos were taken just before we left.

 

These four were taken on the route back. As you can see, Tim and Jake are quite majestic  (they’re not too bad at music either :P).

Tea for two

Man, so I’m all about the playsuit at the moment. There are two factors to blame for this 1) my need for comfort (holidays + winter make me want to snuggle up in bed) 2) I got look book and then searched ‘playsuit’. There were so many pretty ones!

The bag I used today is actually the cutest thing ever. One of my best friends (the magical elise)  gave it to me as a thank you for being a bridesmaid. I named him Louie.

My lovely boyfriend too these photos for me on our walk. It was windy and cold, so I rugged up with a super comfy jumper, which makes my shorts look super short D: (it’s just really long).

Practically Purple in every way !

For the first time since uni I have been able to take a day slowly. It was lovely.

I only had one reason to get dressed today, and that was to attend my voice lesson. I decided to go with something comfy so that breathing would be easier (and as far as comfy goes, you can’t go past a playsuit.)

I’m actually really digging playsuits at the moment. I wasn’t really a huge fan of them, mainly because the only ones I had come across were the loose fitting ones sewn out of super floaty fabric. My opinion changed once I stumbled across some more fitted playsuits. Because it’s the holidays, I am going to do all the sewing! expect to see some more handsewn playsuits in the near future.

Yo Ho Ho (and a bottle of rum)

I’ve never been one for playsuits. I thought they looked tacky and awkward, but for every rule there is an exception. For me, the exception is the “Evil Hearted you” playsuit, made by the brilliant Australian Designer Lady Petrova http://www.ladypetrova.com/

This is the playsuit. I have literally never had anything that I didn’t make fit me quite as perfectly as this did.

I always feel like such a pirate when I wear this coat. When paired with the open blouse I wore today, I felt even more piratey.

The blouse and belt I wore today came from this brilliant vintage shop in Woy Woy called Shop 55. This place is very very bad for my Wallet. Wendy, the lady who runs the shop, has a brilliant sense of style and  I love going in to talk fashion with her (although unfortunately, it’s usually before work, so I can’t stay as long as I’d like to).

Also totally bought a new phone case. I’d seen these floating around on the internet for a while, and finally decided to order one. It’s so thick/annoying, but, it’s cute, so it can stay.
