things that will never really work out in real life vol. 1

This hat. Yeah it's cool and the 12-year-old model looks like she's having a good time wearing it in the ASOS studio and yes I really want it. But here's the question, when and where? Really?

more new things!

I got mail, and in that mail I got rings. I've always wanted heaps and heaps of rings. And eventually, I did get heaps and heaps of rings. But then I wore them all at the same time and just felt like a cheap Abbey Lee knock off, which was annoying and not me. So I began to search for cool small rings. And now (including one not pictured) I have three - perfect.


My new ring collection also has a cool animal theme which is kind of neat. It's taking me a little bit of time to get use to the whole pinky ring business...I feel like a mafioso (who likes dolphins) which is very awesome.

Here are actual pictures of the rings instead of a vain photobooth one.


DOLPHIN! There is something very nostalgic and 90s about dolphins that I can't quite let go of. Still hunting for these.


Zoe & Morgan snake eternity ring, which you've seen before.

baaack!

Hi all. Here I am, back from all the big sister wedding stuff. I will try and pace my blogs so the two people who actually still read this won't get too overwhelmed...

So first thing I'd like to touch on is my love-hate relationship with faux things. Not faux fur, but knock offs. Not direct imitations like ye ole faithful LV bags but the kind of items you look at and go "Hey are those...?" and reply "Yeah...na..." Like my Fauxpening Ceremony shoes for example. I mean how can you not LOVE the fact that you can actually afford the shoes (very similar) that you've been yearning for??? But at the same time, you kind of hate yourself for actually having gone into Wild Pair or the shame of somehow deceiving the real thing. I think with me at the end of the day my love for material things and lack of money for $1,000 pairs of shoes wins. One day I will be rolling in the cash, or at least have the will power to save up for a few months, and be able to buy the real thing and then I will bask in the glory of craftsmanship and how long quality stuff lasts. One day. But for now...

Hello Opening Ceremony...

Hello River Island via ASOS...

My ASOS parcel arrived and I couldn't be any more happy...and hooked. Who ever came up with free international shipping for a limited time was a psychological mastermind.

ARE YOU WARM BRO?

More talk about cold weather while I bask in the hot. So this is what's happening in Europe right now. Crazy snow. I was in Paris last year just as they all started going crazy with the snow and chaos and had a snow vs. public transport vs. airport nightmare - and this was in January! I remember when I visited family when I was a young nugget from Singapore to London during the Christmas holidays dying for snow that early, and would pretty much hyperventilate at slush. What's going on bros? Snow this early? (Or at all for a matter of fact) You're weirding me out. I have two things to say. a) I hope my ASOS order is ok (I was informed this morning it was delayed due to weather) and b) I HOPE BIF IS OK AND WARM!

Welcome to my life, ASOS

I'm just about to dive into my very first ASOS shopping experience. This will end badly, I can see it now - and by end I mean when I am 75 and have only clothes to live off. Anyway...ASOS has always frightened me a little, it's just so bloody massive! It's one of the most overwhelming shopping experiences I've every had - and that's a lot coming from me - the girl who can shop for 9 hours straight while jet-lagged and end the day happily and calmly at Topshop Oxford Circus on Boxing Day...yeah, that's right - easy breezy. But yet ASOS has always towered over me as one big fat scary shopping destination. However last night I was informed that it's offering FREE SHIPPING!!! So at 9am this morning, slightly-hung over, I loaded up my ASOS cart so quickly I blinked and missed it! But before I click checkout I have two very expensive problems to over come. Which dress to I give the cut to?

This one?

Or this one?

I'm thinking the pom pom one. I'm liking the novelty of mini pom poms all over my dress.
