Sportsgirl Hearts!

I've been tagged by Sportsgirl,  Harlequins Party and Tinned Peaches and Cream..... I've been super lazy as per usual and have been procrastinating on this one......

• What are you wearing right now?

I just rolled out of bed, so am rocking a blue and white stripey nighty...but pretty much as soon as I get home everyday I get my pjs on ASAP! Pjs make the world go round.

• What tracks are essential on your summer play list?

1901 - Phoenix, Better Things - Passion Pit, 16th & Valencia Roxy Music - Devendra Banhart, Duck People Duck Man - Megapuss, The Summer - Coconut Records, Poor Harold - White Magic, Leaf House - Animal Collective, Hurricanes - Au Revoir Simone....and millions more!

I love music so much it hurts sometimes....

• What is your fave piece of clothing from the Sportsgirl summer collections?

Loving the Rennie Boots from Sportsgirl at the moment, so hard that it is almost ridiculous.  I bought them yesterday, and was literally shaking with excitement.  I am going to wear them for my engagement party next weekend.  I told the lady at Sportsgirl that, and how there was going to be an announcement at the engagement, and I would say, I'm sorry everyone, I'm no longer marrying my fiancee... I'm marrying these boots....

oh delicious boots....

• Describe your perfect summer…

Frolicking about in whimsical summer dresses, riding bicycles, running around in circles, lounge room dance parties, wine tea parties, swimmy swim swimming....... weeeeeee summer.

I've posted this picture before, but it represents summer so perfectly..........

Ohhh what is that on the ground, is that some kind of tag, perhaps I shall pick it up and type words at it...

Tag town, I have been tagged by Meg of Tjejsajten who is sweet as pie, a REALLY sweet pie, filled with chuppa chups, but the sticks are still in there so it is kind of plastic melty so you probably wouldn't want to eat it, which is a good thing, because I would really miss her blogging if you ate her.

Describe your personal style:

What are the staples in your wardrobe?: Well all those staples I collected from the office supply cupboards and have sewn into some kind of intricate ball gown. Apart from those, giant black shoes, loose floaty dresses and tees, and some kind of wild accessory thrown in to party.

What's your signature look?: At the moment, my long wild free hair, seems to take over everything else I am wearing.

What inspires you?: books, music, blogs, love, magazines, friends, dinosaurs, gingerbread houses.

Who is your fashion muse?: I can't narrow down just one, I have millions. MILLIONS!

Favourite purchase of all time?: Who do you think would win in a fight between Mr Camera and Mr iPod? Because they are both making me very happy at the moment.

Biggest splurge?: a house, 2 years ago with the boyfriend, I'm still paying that bad boy off.

What's your beauty routine? Moisturise, mascara first because my eyelashes are too long and the mascara ends up everywhere, and it is very embarrassing and I must not let people see me doing my makeup. Then just a tiny bit of foundation, then some bronzer, blush and some love, some shimmer town, and sometimes I draw all over my face with eyeliner.

What jewelry do you never take off?: a thin gold bracelet that the boyfriend bought for our first Valentines day. CHEESE.

What are you wishing for?: Winter, because all the beautiful winter clothes and what not at the shops are mocking me. They yell mean things such as "IT IS TOO HOT FOR YOU TO WEAR ME NOW!" It hurts my feelings.

What are your obsessions?: If you know me very well, you would know that I am very much obsessed with a lot of things. My biggest obsession would probably be music. Mmm delicious tunes inside my ears.

I tag the entire universe.

Tag town

I'm pretty bad at remembering this whole tagging business. But I haven't done one in ages, so here goes.

The lovely Kelly from Birdy & Me (click on her blog right now if you haven't seen it before, otherwise bad things might happen, but probably won't, but you still should, because she is an amazing artist) tagged me with the 10 things I love, and 10 things I don't love and 5 random things about me tag.

...and in no particular order...

Love

1. Books, if I could build some kind of house entirely out of books, I would be a very happy stompface.
2. Mr Camera, sometimes things go out of control and I just snap wildly at anything.
3. Mr Stompface, CHEESE. I know, but true. He is the strangest and most hilarious person I know who makes me laugh forever.
4. Kitten features, I never knew I could love an animal so much. She is like my very furry baby but who scratches a lot.
5.Cupcakes, did you know there is a cupcake with icecream INSIDE IT?? A CHOCOLATE ICECREAM CUPCAKE? I haven't made these yet, but I have a feeling it will be a wild ride.
6. Music, I could not live without it, the other day Mr Stompface broke Mr Ipod, and I was the saddest lady alive. But then it magically fixed itself and the whole world rejoiced.
7. Inspirational pictures, of any kind, gosh I love them, I pretty much just sit around all day gazing at beautiful images.
8. Drawing, I haven't done this in a while, I am having a large creative block. I imagine it is a giant icecream block named Creative, and he is so huge I just can't get around him, one day I will buy a giant heater and melt him, and then I will be the most creative person alive.
9. Fashion, pretty much anything fashion related, even smart casual jackets made entirely out of accounts.
10. Movies, and tv shows, I have millions of favourites, nothing like escaping reality for awhile. Although, I'm kind of doing that hundred per cent of the time...in my mind.

Don't Love

1. Crazy drivers, they make me too scared to drive a car, why are they so crazy?
2. Washing the dishes, I will do any other chore, but I do NOT love dishes. I do not know why this is. It is a mystery.
3. Mean people, it seems sometimes there is more of them out there than nice ones. It makes my heart sad.
4. Slow walkers, I second Kelly on this one, sometimes I actually get so angry I just yell WHY SO SLOW? Yes, I am nice. It is especially annoying when people just stop in front of you all together.
5. Lazy, I am it all the time, but I don't love it at all, its like stop being so lazy and do something Stompface.
6. Exercise, I really wish I did love this one, because I really need to do it more.
7. Waiting, I really really do not love waiting, it is so boring and long and it goes on forever and ever. Stupid waiting.
8. Slow internet! WHY IS IT SO SLOW??? Mine is slow right now, and I am sad.
9. Public transport, why is it that the crazy person or the person who hasn't showered in a month always finds a seat next to me?
10. How I can sleep in forever when its a work day, but I wake up at 6 in the morning on a Saturday, why torture me Mr Body Clock?? WHY?

and... random things...oh I am tired and my brain isn't working, so I will just say most people probably think everything is random about me.


I tag the entire world.

The End.


I can't remember where this image is from...

Meow...kitties..meow...kitties

It is Saturday, and I have been up since 5.30 am, because I am crazy, and could not get back to sleep. Now I feel very tired and possibly delirious...so I imagine lots of interesting things will occur today.

I am going on a magical journey to Shopping Land! It is a beautiful magical land, which could be made all the more beautiful if my friend Mr Neverending Money came along. But alas, I think he is busy (HE'S ALWAYS BUSY!!!).

I have been tagged by the ever amazing Nature Graffiti and the lovely Dane (who also gave me a lovely blog award! What a sweet lady.) to name 6 things that make me smile. I am particularly bad at remembering to do or mention nice tags, so you should all feel very proud of me right now for remembering!

1. The picture on the background of my work computer always makes me smile. It is this strange old man in a bright red suit lying in a trolley, and he is SO happy!! No one in my office thinks that it is weird at all to have a strange old man as my background...

2. Walrus' who play the saxophone.

3. A man jumping rope with a bear.

4. A man with a giant shoe for a head. Shoe man.

5. New glorious tunes, particularly ones at the moment which make me want to dance wildly in fields of daisies.

6. Across the world music love with Bicycle Pirate

Oh and speaking of blog awards the ever stylish LeFlassh awarded me with some blog love. Her blog pretty much deserves a million awards because it is amazing.

Taggy Mc Taggerson

Well, I have been tagged by both these lovely ladies: Girl Meets NYC and Confessions Of A Doll. To reveal six quirky/little known facts about me.

Here goes!

1. I have an extreme fear of pressing the bell on a bus for when you want them to stop at your stop. I get really paranoid that I will press it too early and then I will have to get off early because everyone will realise that I had pressed the button and if no one else gets off, the bus driver will get mad at having to stop for no reason, so I will just have to get off at the early stop anyway. So therefore bussing is extremely stressful!

2. I only just got my license, because I hate driving. Which doesn't help because then I always have to deal with issue number 1.

3. I base whether or not I am happy with a season (winter, summer etc) by whether or not I like the fashion. Which is funny, because I always like the fashion. So I am always happy with the season, until the new season stuff starts coming in. Then I get really impatient.

4. I can't help but make up really strange lies, when talking to new people. I don't know why, but sometimes completely ridiculous things come out of my mouth. I once told a new guy at my work, on his first day, that I was a professional tap dancer and a national champion. I'm not sure how long he believed this for. After I said it, I thought to myself "Why did I just say that?? Where did that even come from? He is going to figure out eventually that I'm not".

5. I really love cooking. I'm pretty good at it too. I haven't had a really big disaster meal yet. My favourite thing to cook is a meal called Penne Alla Vodka. That's right, a pasta with vodka in it! It pretty much has all my favourite things! Oh it is delicious.

6. When I greet people I always pull this really ugly angry strange face. So when ever I pass people I know in the street or in the office or wherever, instead of saying "Hi!" I just pull my lovely attractive face. Everyone who knows me is used to it and know that it just means "Hi". But I have gotten into the habit of it so much that now when I walk past complete strangers I pull the face at them! It's not awkward at all.

Yes I am very very normal, as you can see from my above points! NORMAL!

Oh look, some more tagging. Incredibly cool and fashionable and model like Fashion Pariah also threw a box full of tags at me. This tag is to write 11 little things:

1. Clothes Shop

I haven't been shopping much in real life stores lately, as I have been online shopping and making things myself alot. I shop at this little boutique called Frankii alot, as it gets in some cool labels, and has guys clothes too. Apart from that, I love to browse the boutiques along William St.

2. Furniture Shop

I recently just went out and bought enough furniture to fill our house. I actually got most of it from a really dodgy cheap store. But with enough hunting, the quality of the furniture was actually really good and doesn't look too shabby either.

3. Sweet

I don't have much of a sweet tooth, but if I am to have anything sweet I would have brownies for sure. I like to eat them really hot out of a bowl with a spoon.

4. City

I haven't been to many cities. I would have to say Melbourne is up there as a favourite. The shopping made me very happy. I really want to visit/live in Stockholm some day. I haven't been there, but it is probably my favourite city anyway!

5. Drink

Water is my drink of choice every time. Unless I am going alcoholic, then I am a wine drinker all the way. Mmm delicious wine. No I don't have a problem.

6. Music

Music is my life. My favourite band is the Eels. But at the moment I have been listening to Broken Social Scene Presents: Kevin Drew Spirit if... on repeat. Also The Dodos, She & Him and Vampire Weekend are getting a lot of play right now. I just really really love music. I don't know what I would do without it.

7. Tv Series

Arrested Development! Best TV series EVER! Also loving Flight Of The Conchords and 90210. I have just got Gossip Girl season 1 on DVD, I haven't watched any yet, but I have a feeling I am going to love it, judging by the awesome outfits they wear on that show.

8. Film

I love movies almost as much as I love music. So I have a lot of favourites. I love movies like Being John Malkovich, Eternal Sunshine Of The Spotless Mind and Stranger Than Fiction. I also still am weirdly obsessed with all the classic Disney animation movies.

9. Workout

I never exercise. It's really terrible. I used to play tennis and do JuJitSu though. Oh, I recently won a digital skipping rope! I love skipping! Does that count?

10. Pastries

Not a fan really.

11. Coffee

I actually really hate coffee. So no, I don't drink it at all.

The end

Lastly the forever stylish I Am Ashleigh tagged me, and this was a hard one, with a gold card. Which means I can have anything I want in the world.

I would probably travel the world, but do it in style, as I would be able to afford amazing 5 star hotels. Buy a really cool old house on the beach, that I could renovate really pretty. I would also buy all the shoes and clothes in the world, then put them in a big pile and roll about in it cackling loudly. Seriously. That's what I would do.

So now I tag whoever else wants to play along! Because I am exhausted now from all my incoherent ramblings and cannot decide who else needs some tag love. So I encourage anyone who wants to play to play too! Because playing is fun!

Musical Tag as much fun as musical chairs but without all the sitting!

I have been tagged by the amazingly stylish I Am Ashleigh, click on the link right now, I COMMAND YOU, and look upon her beauty in awe and wonder how you can be cool like her.

So the task is to write a song or part of a song that defines us..

Well this is incredibly hard because I am a music fiend and I love so many songs...

I'm going to go with something I'm really loving at the moment, and not so much the words but the tune and the fact you can dance all silly to it and it just makes me so HAPPY. So I think that's a good enough reason to pick it...

Lykke Li - I'm Good I'm Gone

"Walking in the corner

Peeking over shoulders

Waiting for my time to come

Walking in the corner

One day to the other

Butter for my piece of bun

Stepping, I'm stompin'

I'm all gone

Give me the tone

And I’m all gone

Yeah, I’m walking by the line

Not here, but in my mind

I'm working, I sweat, but it's all good

I'm breaking my back but it's all good

'Cause I know I’ll get it back

Yeah, I know your hands will clap

And I'm working, Yeah, I’m working

To make butter for my piece of bun

And if you say I'm not OK

We mus-t go

If you say there ain't no way that I could know

If you say I aim too high from down below

Well, say you're not 'cause when I’m gone

You'll be callin' but I won't be at the phone

And I’m hanging around 'till it's all done

You can't keep me back once I had some

No wasting time to get it right

And you will see what I’m about

'Cause I’m working, I sweat, but it's all good

I'm breaking my back but it's all good

'Cause I know I’ll get it back

Yeah, I know your hands will clap

And if you say I'm not OK

We mus-t go

If you say there ain't no way that I could know

If you say I aim too high from down below

Well, say you're not 'cause when I’m gone

You'll be callin' but I won't be at the phone

Walking in the corner
Peeking over shoulders
Waiting for my time to come

And if you say I'm not OK

We mus-t go

If you say there ain't no way that I could know

If you say I aim too high from down below

Well, say you're not 'cause when I’m gone

Oh Lykke Li how I love your beautiful tunes...

Okay, so I tag Eelie of Aphex Nation because she has a super cute blog and always has great comments like suggesting a flying toaster for the wall. What a cool lady!
