When I was meant to be studying...

Homemade.

Sonoma Granola.

Deli Yoghurt.

Fresh Figs.

Manuka honey.

Tastes like summer. I'm a wanker.

Can the weather please catch up?

Cookie Jar

I don't pretend to be very good at matters regarding sustainability nor environmental concerns and I am prone to attempts at changing the topic anytime sometime brings up climate change and will run a mile if you start telling me Al Gore is a fake.

But I like re-using jars, and I think they look pretty neat. My suspicion is that is probably a good thing.

Free chocolate bar!

Oh life and its little surprises.

I bought this Bounty at Coles about three weeks ago when I rushed down on my lunch break. It was a busy day at work, I was distracted and have only been reminded of this chocolate bar at 6:02pm today when I grabbed my bag out my locker and low and behold... this fell in my lap.

It's probably the highlight of my day.

I make terrible puns.

Woody Allen is no longer shooting in New York because it's too expensive...

I buy silly little things like a badge with his face on it and I'm pretty sure he'd have more money than I do.

Something isn't right in the world. I can't quite pin it!

Badge by Sniffle co.

Take Ivy, by Shosuke Ishizu, Toshiyuki Kurosu, Hajime Hasegawa, and Teruyoshi Hayashida

This is the kind of book that makes me want to have a coffee table.

.

Unfortunately I only drink coffee at cafes, as my skills as a barista are limited to the extent my Mother won't even let me create her one teaspoon instant, one tsp sugar and a third of hot water and fill with milk; that and despite being in an excellent inner city location, I have usually knocked back my latte before I walk into the door.

Essentially this book is filled with young American men who attend Ivy League Schools in America. So my guess is that they are rather intelligent. These young men are also the type who are impeccably dressed in a style that is distinctive enough to have set thousands of young Japanese baby boomers into imitating "prep" that the original publication of this book is not only referred to as a fashion "bible" by some, but has also collected over $2000 on ebay sales!

Hopefully those people that paid $2000 preferred the Japanese version over English, otherwise when it gets re-released onto Amazon for $30 at the end of the month- they are going to regret not purchasing their Burberry Plaid.

Crap day.

Props to the Zara online store and their beautiful dresses for reminding me everything is better with a floral dress.

Too easy;

How could I resist?

Something is seriously missing in the adult bicycle market.

On the bandwagon.

I really wanted to avoid any mention of anything related to 500 Days of Summer because it just felt too cliche for me to even touch on that subject. I know I'm a neat little niche of the market who were totally captured within their tight little packaged film that thrilled the pants off me...

But that was almost a year ago and my pants need variation. In this photoshoot there is Joseph Gordon-Levitt, who was the male lead of 500DoS and playing the femme fatale, the first model I ever remember associating with the understanding of 'model', Claudia Schiffer. This sudden inter-twining of part of my past and present consciousness has left me a little astounded and wanting more. Gosh I'm pathetic.

Dapper and Delayed

Ohhhhh my..... It's been a while.

But I'm meant to be studying so instead I'm shopping; and I think everyone should buy anything from Gary Pepper Vintage on ebay just like I am intending to. There is a pretty obvious case for it, and I am just going to emphasise how silly it would even be to question NOT popping down a fresh fifty (or less) for nearly everything and anything these vintage bad boys have to offer*.

*As long as it fits you. I'm not buying any size 6 items, unless I'm planning on wearing them atop my head like some weird Gaga'esque statement. Save that for the mid-semester exam where I start cracking a little.

I do like a nice jacket.

Sometimes I wish men never needed to take clothes off. Even to do the unmentionable (which will remain so briefly discussed as whimsical and sexual desires do not really correlate).

Realistically I understand Brad Goreski will never have such concerns with females, it is for that exact reason I love him all the more with his detailed, librarian, dapper and exciting manner of dress. I sometimes wonder if people who dress with this much personal character ever feel extremely different once they aren't in such dress. Anyway, I appreciate a good bow tie. You just know he'd be one of those people who can actually op shop and don't end up returning the clothing only three months later during their summer cull. Goodbye failed attempts at vintage. I feel like putting on my black frames and buying suit pants.
