STOP CALLIN', BABY.

I bought this phone a month or so ago at a thrift shop, and I absolutely adore it! It's a big black phone, and you can't see in these photos, but it's a rotary dial. I just love old ones compared to the tiny land-line phones round today, when I get my own flat someday I'm going to have a phone like this one.

MAGAZINES AND HAIR SPRAY

Because these sorts of things are the sorts of things I spend my money on.

THIS AND THAT

I'm wearing this totally awkward sweater dress top thing today. It's too short for me to feel comfortable wearing it with tights and it's too long to wear over pants, so I folded it up and under a bit, you can't tell in these pictures. It looked good enough for a grocery and drugstore run though.



I picked up next month's issue of Vanity Fair at the grocery a couple of days ago. I don't usually buy it, but I think whenever Marilyn's on any cover I'm sort of programmed to pick it up.



HEY THERE, NOT-PHONY-SMILE.



AND HEY CONAN. (is anyone else a fan?)



The first pages of a huge article, haven't read it yet, but I'm going to later on!



Three more for good measure no reason except I want to.

SUPER MEGA PICTURE POST

This last week has been a little crazy and busy, hence the lack of updates, but I have a new photoshoot idea and some other ideas for posts in my head, haha.
But for now, I have these new pictures that I took on Thursday.








I bought these heels on sale last year at Suzy for 5$, such a steal! They're a little small, but pretty cute all the same.




We're so lucky in Victoria to still have flowers blooming when it's almost November! I hate when it's Winter and you don't see any colour other than green and brown in the garden.


The foggy days have really gotten into gear. And it's especially thick in the mornings.




This is basically our entire front garden, I love it, I wish I'd spent more time out there in the Summer, really.

THAT'S JUST THE WAY IT IS

First off, to address the third picture in this post, before anybody asks, I do not smoke nor do I endorse smoking. Remember the earrings I bought a few months ago? That's exactly what that is and nothing more. Also, the inspiration for this shoot was this old picture.

So, beyond that, because I'm so particular, this photoshoot took so much time trying to work out how I'd do it. Considering that the window is higher than my tripod can properly reach, and on top of that, I had a time frame of about 15 minutes to do this while the light was how I wanted it (ie. while the sun was being blocked out by a tall tree).
I like them because they're a sort of different style than what I usually do. But cnsidering those two issues, I'm surprised I actually got a few I liked out of the batch, but luckily, I did!

SPIRIT DAY

Hope you all got your purple on today, I definitely got mine on, big thumbs up to those of you who did!

COME ON OUT AND DANCE

Here's my outfit from a few days ago!

It was supposed to be a little Mad Men inspired with the long skirt and all, I'm not sure how well that worked out, though.

The top is a black body from Suzy. I genuinely love bodysuits, I'd wear them + tights everyday (at least until I got bored with it!).
The green suede skirt is second-hand. I think it might be the only piece of clothing I have that's green, haha.
The black hold-ups are Dim Paris.
And the heels are from Sirens from a few months ago.

A FEW THINGS

1) Three pairs of my shoes needed new heel tips and I finally got them fixed up on Wednesday so I can now wear them again!







2) The hold-ups mum bought me might be my favourite things, she bought them on sale at The Bay for just 99 cents, haha.




That expression was entirely unintentional, I promise, I wasn't trying to look like a duckface.

3) I also finally got three more keys cut, and I couldn't turn down getting a Hello Kitty one for our backdoor. I have two key chains, one in my purse, and one I put in my pocket when I go out to the barn or for a walk, so I now I have the proper keys on both sets.



Also, my books from Amazon arrived yesterday! Which is good because I need things to do that I can do laying down, I hurt my back somehow and it's really sore!
Hopefully it feels better by tomorrow so I don't have to cancel my plans to go downtown, 'cause all I feel like doing today is laying around reading and watching movies, haha.
