I got a lion in my pocket, and baby, he's ready to roar!

Pic stolen from Kitty!

So, tomorrow I will be sandwiched between these 2 lovelies for the day!
How very delicious!
I'm exhausted and moist and smiley and breathless just thinking about it!

SQUEE!

You'll most likely see  here and/or here what we got up to before I get home!

Hold the fort for me, will y'all?!
I'll be back next week

If you squeeze my lizard, I'll put my snake on you


I was rather popular in this fabulous frock from darling Lucy when I wore it to work!
It certainly seems to be a winner!
I love it's slinky line, the braided trim at the neckline, and 80's tastic print!

Jazz hands!


40's hat-Etsy
Clip on earrings and brooch-Sarah the Sublime
Black beads-gifted
Boots-Trade Me


I'm a laydeeeee!!!
Well, these coral gloves make me feel so!!!
And they're splendidly soft!

I'd like to touch y'all with them.......rowr!

Skating bullets on angel dust


We live fairly close to an intersection which has been closed for repairs to the lateral sewerage pipes.
It's like living in a cul-de-sac, and we are loving it!
The neighbours kids are out skateboarding most days, and it's so peaceful!
Not too sure how long our intersection is closed for, but the work is supposed to go on for 5 months.
There's a lot of infrastructure work to be done around the city, due to the nasty quakeys that we have had over the last year or so.
We've had some more aftershocks in the last week; a 4.5 on Thursday and a 4.8 yesterday late afternoon!
Apparently all very normal!
Whatever!


We were off to visit friends Gillian and Wayne in Okuku.
Feck me, it was a cold cold Saturday!

PS: I will give you a house tour at some point in the near future! And also a wardrobe tour, but that'll be after my room is sorted, which won't be for a while yet!

Pull some strings, let them sing


I figured band practice was as good a time as any to wear my fabulous new limey lame  frock from Sarah !


Funnily enough, the beads sweet Lucy sent me went perfectly with it!
I love when that happens, it's a matchy-matchy wet dream!


The shoes were from Trade Me ages ago, the scarf was opshopped, I made the gold lace flower thingy and the divine gold earrings (I am rather obsessed with them) were a gift from the loveliest Squirrel Vanessa !!!


Label love!


We put up our "new" zebra fur curtains in the afternoon.
It's just fax fur sewn (by HAND, the sewing machine couldn't cope!) over the top of some boring arse curtains.
Looks a treat, despite being a bit roughly done!


Rock N Roll!

Don't buy me candy floss or bears


I picked up this 80's-tastic taffetta frilled nightmare of a frock a few weeks back, and thoroughly intended to take out the neckline and take off the enormous sleeves....until I put it on and was seduced..........o no, no, NO!

But yes, YES, rustle rustle merry taffeta tight waisted frock of 80's hideousness....
oooooo
OOOOOOOOOOO

o......my.......GAWD!



Yes.
I rather like it.
