Dressups

I love dressup parties.

They are so much more exciting than regular parties by far.

Last weekend I went to a dressup party. The occasion was that one of my friends was moving out of her house and another one was moving in - a farewalcome party. The theme was famous animals and I decided to go as the rabbit from Alice in Wonderland.

This is what I wore.

The photo was taken in a laneway during our walk to the party. There was a black cat there.
It isn't that good because my camera was crazily making all the photos turn out greenish for some reason. I'm not very good at technology.

I got the dress from a church jumble sale that I go to where everything costs 50c. I love it there. The dress is by Anthea Crawford and would have been so expensive when it was originally bought. It was longer but I cut and hemmed it because I don't really like myself in long things. My mum was horrified when I told her that I cut an Anthea Crawford dress but i figure what's the point of keeping something the way it is if you're not going to wear it.

The shoes are from ebay and the frilly socks are from the kids section at myer. I had been looking for frilly socks for ages and I was considering making a pair when I finally found them. The bag is also from the jumble sale.

I'm wearing a giant mimco fob watch that I borrowed from my friend and the mask is stolen from work (soon to be past workplace) and re-vamped. I work at an event management company so we have all sorts of fun things that we have used on past events. This one is from a masquarade ball that we did a while ago.

This is one that was taken on a crazy new-age polaroid camera. My friend was a little leopard.

Easter fun times

So I know that Easter was ages ago now but I’ve had this post in my head ever since….I say that like I’m some sort of post master but really this is my first one. The first of many I hope.

At Easter time my family and I went to a place called Warwick for my granddad’s birthday. It was mostly boring and there were lots of old people there but there were lots of delicious desserts which sort of made up for it.

We were staying at this “country resort” which is a totally huge attraction for tourists who want the “outback experience”. It baffles me really because I’ve been going out to the country since I was little to visit my grandparents and I find it lovely and relaxing for about one day and then I get a little bit bored and need to get back to the city.

Anyway, on the second day we went to one of the resort “attractions” which is called balancing rock. It’s basically these gigantic rocks that have formed all crazily and sit on top of each other. We had to hike (ok not really hike, just walk steadily) up a giant mountain (that's probably an exaggeration too) to find it and I don’t think I was really wearing the correct hiking attire but it was really pretty when we got up the top so it didn't really matter.

It was rainy but still really nice looking.

My brother got up way high and sat between the giant rocks.

Then we found a hut.

Then we left the resort and went to a lovely little antique shop where I found a pretty maroon glomesh looking bag which I bought along with a hat and some sewing patterns which the lady threw in for free! Delightful!

I'm going to start an ebay store soon that stocks all of the lovely vintage delights that i have/are waiting to be found....I just need to get a little bit more organised first and maybe learn a few more sweet technology skills.

I will also blog some of my adventures and things so keep coming back!
