The State Library

 

I've never actually been to the State Library, and I regret it! Although, I'm always complaining about DEADelaide I haven't even seen all that it has on offer in my 17 years of existence-

Today we had an excursion to the library to help with research on an Independent History Essay, (mine's on 'Romanticism'***) and I cannot believe how amazing the books were!Seriously people if you want to do ANY KIND OF RESEARCH, switch off the computer and go to the STATE LIBRARY!!! The WorldWideWeb has nothing on this badboy. Downside though, you can't borrow the books, so I'm hoping to buy these one's off Amazon tonight...

For lunch we got to wander around Rundle and I came across this lovely work of street art, of my favourite converse wearing nerd, the Doctor. Ahh, Day Made.

Hush Puppies

Having a real moment with these shoes. Yes, I realise that they're from harris scarfes (a notoriously old people's store) and have no heel in sight, BUT i'm really interested in the new rockabilly/goth/rocker trend that's been having a 2nd life this year. Plus, they look crazy comfortable.

They remind me a bit of a toned-down version of the girl's shoes in the photo below>>>

I also wouldn't mind giving the androgynous hair thing a go too, as styled by ViVi (Feb 2012)

So, what do you think? A trend worth hopping into... or out of?

I have to say, although not entirely convinced by the fashion, I do love this shoot. Studio Shoots can get so boring and this one is not only shot outside in a forest, but the editing is crazy-ass-cool! !

It's a nice breath of fresh air from ElleUK (Jan 2012)

And Just Like That It's April...

I was meant to be at the cinemas right now, but they were packed as it's ANZAC Day. If you live over seas or even on the East Coast of Adelaide you may not understand this, but in Adelaide everything STOPS on a public holiday. Which meant half the population was trying to cram into the only place open...

Doesn't help that I also wanted to see this bad boy>>

And isn't it annoying when you've wasted an outfit? I was going with a boy so put a lot of effort into my look, but it was all for nothing :/

So now i'm just sitting at home, pretending to do my homework... ah, life is dull.

" Now then Mardy Bum

       I see your frown
           And it's like looking down the barrel of a gun
                 And it goes off
                        And out come all these words

Oh there's a very pleasant side to you
A side I much prefer "

Off to ye old' Strawberry Farm

These are the long awaited photos of my trip to the local strawberry farm as mentioned here, in my failed attempt to make the said strawberry's into a strawberry shortcake :'(

I've gone on a bit of a photo binge, so I'll keep the text short and succint-

I love the Beerenberg Strawberry Farm, I used to go there a lot when I was little so it was nice to reminisce. Yes even at the fledgling age of 17 one already begins to be nostalgic.. 

This is Miss.PS (Purple Sunglasses), the only one brave enough to ride through the hills, with a P-Plater, in a van! Don't worry though, we didn't die ;) Have to admit I'm a pretty amazing driver.

Strawberry's, Strawberry's, Strawberry's. *nom nom nom*

Embarrassing thing is I thought that you were allowed to eat as many strawberries as you wanted once you got on the farm, turns out I WAS WRONG!!  


"Well Duh!?" said dad, " they don't just hand them out for free. They work on trust charging you only for what you bring out"


Miss PS and I just sat down in the middle of the field stuffing our face. Geez! No wonder we were getting such dirty looks ** I'm VERY sorry Mister Beerenberg ** I promise I'll buy heaps of goods next time I go up to make up for it!!

We then went for a stroll down the main street of Hahndorf. Mmm, what a lovely little place. The shops are so cute aren't they?

To finish off I got a german sausage sizzle with sauerkraut (it's a bit like pickled cabbage). The sausage was a bit spicy, but still very yummy ^_^

Cat Woman got it wrong!

All this time she has worn a black mask when it's obvious she should have been wearing one more like this...

Okay well, she'd probably get caught more easily because it sparkles in the darkness and all those pointy bits could get caught and hamper her escape and the decoration is probably a bit over the top for a thief..

Haha well maybe this mask isn't suited to comic book characters. In fact I think its more suited to us ordinary folk. Maybe not to the local shops to buy milk, but hey! if you want to do that, you do it!
But it's probably more suited to a masked ball, or fancy formal, you'd look a million dollars!

So make a statement and wear a mask!

You just hand it out for FREE!?

The biggest reason I buy magazines is for the fashion shoots. The scenery alone is amazing! let alone the fashion. So when I find out that Shop Til You Drop posts their shoots on tumblr, THE DAY THE MAGAZINE COMES OUT. I went RAWRUERFFFFFF!!! (CRAZY/RABID)

I guess they expect people to buy the mag for the content, and I have to admit I might still buy it (if the shoot is REALLY good), but still as if they just hand it out for free!?

The first three shoots below are from this months issue (February 2012) while the rest are just pretty pictures I discovered/re-discovered on their tumblr. 

** LOVE the white dress in the middle, note to self: MAKE ONE, NOW!**

The full shoots and more photos can be found at their tumblr here.
