Hat That

Hat, Sportsgirl (surprise) Sale $9.95

Meet my new hat, ain't he just handsome? I've been looking for 'that' hat for quite some time as I have a rather large head you see so most of them are quite uncomfortable after me squeezing them on. This one...fits like a head glove. Even better when I got to the till point it was reduced to $9.95. Is that even possible? 

Crown Frown

Excuse the orange face...new foundation went wrong.

Last week sure was eventful, in both good ways and bad. I was super excited about getting my bushy, over grown mane scultped and dyed into a new crop. I've had my fair share of hair disasters in the past (basically every time I have ever visited the salon) so I opted for the renowned Joey Scandizzo Salon on Toorak Road, South Yarra (which was conveniently a 5 minute walk from my new little appartment). I went in with a  head full of hairspirational dreams and blurted out 'lighter'...'praline brown' to the poor colourist who was finding it hard enough to understand my Scottish accent. Clearly our communication was beyond poor and I came out a lion cub blonde. I am raven, a brunette through and through. I had already defied my dark haired sisters by opting for a 'few shades' lighter...I was thinking more along the lines of a nice warm shade de Cherly Cole...now I was Simba son of the Lion King. I was so confused by my light barnet I spent my whole blow dry (which takes quite some time as I have rediculously thick and curly hair) avoiding my own eye contact in the mirror. No amount of their special complimentary dark chocolate, melt in the middle cookies could turn my quivering lips up at the corners. I done what I do best. Pretended I liked it and left, ran round the corner to work and got my lovely ballsy boss to call them for me.

Wollah...at 9 am the next morning I was toned back to a brunette...a light one at that. I must be the single most annoying customer of all time. Walking in there with my tail between my legs asking for a re-do. I was meet with not one bit of hostility and treated again like a queen and walked out with a new do and a complimentary blow wave and a biscuit. I am offically swayed. I think I like going to the hair dressers after all.

Last week, if not a wee bit sick, I celebrated my beautiful friend Yvonnes birthday by making her a crown. Ok, I might have the creative skills to rival a 5 year old but I got a new stamp set (and Yvonnes 'real' present) from Kikki K and I could wait to try it out. Who am I kidding...I made a crown and I'm god damn proud of it.

Let's make it a Rich'tual

Every time I have snapped my handsome Chard we always finish with a good old grab of the crotch shot. Y'know loosens everyone off after the 'hard' work (by hard work I do mean having a laugh up alleyways/ against walls of preferably grey). This is by far my favourite shot of the day. Everyone should do a little crotch grabbing every once and a while...no?

Bobby & Tide for Godwin Charli

Shoes, Prada

My handsome Chard (Richard Milvain) sported his best Godwin Charli wardbrode for a little impromptu shoot during his coffee break.

Richard wears Marshal 12 Cotton/Linen Leisure Jacket in Charcoal, Raffa Merino wool v-neck knit in Grape, Navy Check Barca button cuff Japanese cotton shirt, Olive cotton Chaise pants and brown leather Albany belt. 

John lennon Salute

Lennon the stud

I've probably posted a fair few kodak's of my TOPSHOP Sunnies, cleverly named Lennon (Genius). They're just a good looking pair and don't they just look handsome riding the tram.

One feels they may have to much time on their hands....

Dog'sition

I met this little beaut while out enjoying my freedom in South Yarra (my new hood). Isn't he/she just beyond handsome...if this little prince belongs to you....dog envy your way.

My beau Clarky and I have come to the decision that on our arrival back in sunny Melbourne after our travels and visit to the homeland, we shall father a.....dog. A dog is a BIG decision, deciding on the bread is a whole new level. I am beyond smitten (kitten) with French Bulldogs. How could you not love those pointed ears and that little squished face.

Frenchies are the perfect size...as my beau straight out refuses a 'handback/teacup' pup and insists we come to a mutual agreement on a little hound dog that would look good by his side as well as mine.

He say's 'Absolutely not' to my input of a little Frenchie....for now.

There's always Peagle's.

Colour Inspo

Lilal bloom berries.

Isn't this just the perfect tone of lilac...who knew I would find my new colour inspiration for S/S12/13 under a tree. Ah nature you've done it again!

Op't for it

What an amazing Op Shop find. Yum Yum shudder booties.

Bean'cause

i love this tiny been. I think I may also be a compulsive hoarder and can't walk by anything remotely nice without wanting it. But it's ok, lilac road beans are free....

Beau got Style

Jack London

My beauface hasn't been himself of late...so we took his sorry ass shopping. Done the trick mind. An ass load of shiny (not shiny) new shirts and a little i-pad put a smile on his handsome pous!
