So I bought a pair of OVERALLS months ago from an Op Shop for $1

(cough, $1= hell yeah)

...but they were too short on me in the crotch (camel toe...oh dear)...

And I didn't know what I could do with them so put them in the cupboard and forgot about them.

Found them last night and got some scissors..

...played some David Bowie beats and this was the result.

I love it.

If you have some overalls - def get cutting! Summer love.

HAPPY TUESDAY!

A long time favourite...
Kind of obsession really.
If I was ever at his concert I think I would be one of those girls that fainted..
Seriously.

Weather is now deciding to be dull and very wet..
It seems we only experience two seasons here...
Extreme unbearable heat...or full on rain and wind.
Blah.

Shirt'n'Skirt

Chambray Henley Shirt Dress - American Apparel
Ruffel Skirt - Esprit Kids
Hat - Sportsgirl
Necklace Locket - 21st Gift
Black Flats - Brazillo

So remember this post a while ago where I mentioned AA sent me a super lovely care package?
Well I wanted to post the items over time...and this shirt is another one of them.
I really love it!
I know it is called a "shirt dress" but considering I am tall...
...don't want any Britney moments.

I decided to be different and opt for a full skirt; rather than a pair of denim cut offs...
(which I KNOW I will wear this shirt with too anyway, haha).
But I LOVE this skirt!
I bought it years ago from Esprit kids cos I thought it was so cute.
I love the shape it makes as it is so full and flowy.
Def going to embrace this skirt for summer.

If you want to get in on the shirt action find this one HERE on AA's site :)
I know I will wear it to death in summer AND winter to follow...very versitile.

Very excited all of my friends are slowly finishing with uni for the year...
Which means more fun times for me as they are finally free from their books.
Yahoooo and congrats to my friends!

(love you and you make me proud!)

Love her style.
She makes any outfit look effortless.
Kind of in love with her coat too.

Well I had a lovely time at the beach today..
(yesterday...still not asleep!)
But think despite lathering on sunblock I may have got a little too much sun...
My skin is simply not used to the strong rays of summer yet!

Seeing as it's officially Sunday...
HAPPY SUNDAY!

Some many months ago my blogger lady love and friend Kelly Smith asked if I wanted to

model for her monthly illo to feature regularly in Shop Til You Drop...
...Of course I was more than thrilled and totally flattered and jumped at the thought!
So above are the first 3 features (Dec, Nov and Oct 2009).

A little shoutout to Death Wears Diamon Jewellery who spotted me in the Dec issue :) x

Kelly is so so super talented it's scary... (obviously) ...
And it's SO great to see some of the big guns in the industry snapping up her huge talent.
I am a proud owner of some of her work...(go here to get in on the action too!)
And honestly..wish I could have an entire wall filled with her drawings.
To check out more of her work head here...you wont be let down.
Thanks again Kelly!!

HAPPY FRIDAY TO ALL!

Perfect way to spend a few hours trying to adapt to the heatwave we are in!

This Melbourne (Aust) beauty is AMAZING.
Such a mix of Miranda Kerr, Jessica Szohr and Audriana Lima.
Which is a f'ing incredible genius mix.
Those eyes. I wish I looked like her.

Check out the behind the scenes video of this shoot too...

Both models are gorgeous.
