FREDAG (LÖRDAG): Let's not spill the truth, it's easier being alone.

My dear piglets,

I find you again at this blog on a late Friday/ early Saturday. I am lacking sleep and may say things in strange ways. So first, a couple of notes on what I've been doing.

I made this dress, mostly to show off at the trivia night I went to with the two other Little Pigs!:

It's not very well made. So I guess I'll have to take it apart and re-make it.

About the Trivia Night, it was excellent and some great moments were a reunion of old friends, making new ones, creating a masterpiece of doodles and friendship on the makeshift paper tablecloth and guessing when the Beatles broke up correctly.

Aside: Do I hear outrage? I ask only one question to counter your outrage. Why would you bother to remember end of the best band in this corner the galaxy? In my mind, they never broke up and went on to make merry music for the rest of their long (some short) lives. Indulge my fantasy.


I wore this in the day, and I think I was channeling a very secretary meets rockability meets Me:

These shoes are the cutest shoes in the universe, but this one's bite is worse than its bark, as after wearing them today for the first time in a long time, I was rewarded with blisters the size of rocks on the balls of my feet. I walked home in the rain with bare feet and tender balls. (See what I did there) I was also limping. And muttering. Gravel got caught in my tender regions (And again)

I probably looked like a crazy lady wandering the moors.

Highlights of today, loving Melodee more because she made such an effort to make a beautiful artwork about me. I give her permission to show you this happiness of mine even if I didn't quite like my face in it...

I may not have shown my love for her love as much as I should have, but I'd like to think she felt it in my hugs and my quiet smiles.

Happy Four Months (and More) of knowing the Best of the Best.
If that wasn't clear- it's you Melodee and Morgan. 

And Happy Lifetime of being the Best of Friends.
And if that wasn't clear, that's you Morgan and Melodee. 

With much love in my heart and joy in my life, I bid you goodnight or rather good morning.

Over and Out,

This Little Pig.

P.s. Spring cleaning will happen tomorrow. This excites the pants off of me.

ONSDAG: Do I dare disturb the universe?

1. I am disappointed I did not take any detail shots of my dress and tights on Friday when (AS YOU KNOW IF YOU ARE THE DILIGENT OINKERS I THINK YOU ARE) we had some super fun times in the NGV. Unfortunately, now that it occurs to me, I cannot be bothered whipping them out and taking photos of them. Boo. 
2. I trust you will enjoy photos of me pensively contemplating various works of art.
3. I combined the first three colours of the rainbow in one outfit in my quest to become Most Colourful Librarian Ever; eBaying 'candy colours' was the greatest decision I ever made with regards to my sock drawer. Superlatives are my friends.
4. I may be in love with Natalie Portman.

SÖNDAG: I CAN BE ALONE, YEAH, I CAN WATCH THE SUNSET ON MY OWN

And the only man you ever loved, you thought was going to marry you
Died in a car accident when he was only twenty-two
Then you just decided love wasn't for you
And every year since then has proved it to be true

I don't know why I've started this post with themes of loneliness and lovelessness, because I've actually had one of the best weeks of my life, thanks to the excellent company I have shared it with.

In my tweed cape and hounds-tooth dress.

 In my Winona Ryder dress with my new skirt. This outfit was suggested to me by Allison and the picture taken by Morgan.

 Also when I was getting ready that morning I was listening to this, and I feel like that song really suited my outfit and put me in the excellent mood that I am still in.

 Me in the room Allison mentioned.

 Sorry for the TERRIBLE quality of this picture, maybe one day I'll be able to sort it out...I just wanted to include it anyway. It was from last year.

Et finallement, this is what I wore today.

And in case you were wondering what can of not so lonely is, it's cannelloni. When I make it for myself I call it can of lonely, but since I had company it wasn't lonely at all.

And to compensate for the beginning of this post I will leave you with this to enjoy.
Have fun tout le monde :)

FREDAG: I saw you blink and missed your blue eyes

Well, hello there my little oinkers! I didn't see you there, because I was too busy being extremely excited and joyous. Isn't life grand? Isn't it some kind of wonderful? Oh my darlings, let me shed some light on you through my enlightening joy.

Since I saw you last, I have been very busy indeed. I ended up up at a couple of markets the other weekend, the highlight being the Vintage Clearance Sale where I saw fellow blogger and friend Kira from Frocking Style! Say Hello Kira! 

This is what I wore, excuse awkward posing. I am trying really hard to have aesthetically pleasing pictures. To no avail. 

In any case, I managed to hustle up some amazing finds which I will get round to photographing soon enough. Later and not now, simply for the reason of laziness. Sweet apathy and ennui, killing me softly. 

Following the weekend of intense shopping, was a week of intense mingling with human beings. 

A Gathering of Old Ladies:

A rainy day, knitting, David Tennant on the widescreen and all sorts of scrumptious foods like Can of Not-so-Lonely by Melodee Mae and fantastic company. I hope to have a mulberry and tan scarf to show for my efforts soon.

This is me intensely mingling with a bunny. He goes by 'Baby' or 'Sir Bunny'.

If you look very carefully you will be able to see my plaid crop top I made with my own sewing machine. I am also wearing a denim shirt as a skirt.

The beautiful Melodee, has got me begging her for mercy. 

Finally, a Reunion of Friends: 

We went to the art galleries today. This is what I looked like. I found this dress and shoes at the markets. We had lunch in the best room in the world. 

Now, to prepare myself for a weekend of endless movies and good food. Life, how you spoil me! 

Happiness doesn't suit me. Savour this moment, it won't last long. 

Over and out, 

This Little Pig. 

ONSDAG: Shake out your bones

1. GOOD GOD PIGLETS I AM DOING NOTHING AT HOME. ALL OF MY CONFLICTING URGES TO WALLOW IN ENNUI OR HANG OUT WITH OTHER HUMAN BEINGS. Post-exams period was supposed to be an explosion of FUN and yet all I want to do is stay at home and read and buy useless shit that I don't need online. Commence existential crisis. #firstworldproblems
2. Speaking of shit I don't need... here is something that I do need (#materialistictothebone). UNTIL NEXT WEEK.

SÖNDAG: They thought blueprints were too sad so they made them yellow

If there is one thing I would like to say this week, it's that this is the best song in the world. This is because the song suits any of my moods.

Alrighty then. I found the shirt in my dress up box. I think it's meant to be used as sleepwear, but it's too nice to be kept in the dark (not that you can even see it well here. Whatever, you'll probably see it again later.).

Because of the semester break, I've gone back to what I used to do in past summer holidays: experimenting with my hair. Mind you, I've never dyed it and as I was saying to my other fellow little pig, Morgan, I don't plan on dyeing it ever. However, don't hold me to this as I may relapse and maybe even actually act on my past obsession with purple hair. Anyhoo, as you can see, this experimentation is really just me fiddling with my hair and, like above, making cornrows. I first got the idea from this.

Obviously, I am pretending that it's summer, when oh no it's winter.

This is the dress (really? I never would have guessed.)

 My fancy pants hairdo.

Thank you to Morgan for the existence of this picture. Does my dress look familiar at all? Maybe it will after you see this and on Myf Warhurst here. FUNNY COINCIDENCE, no? 

Okay, well, that really has been plenty from me for now. Enjoy your fun.

FREDAG: Boys and Girls

Boys, girls and oinkers,

As I find myself at a loss for words, I give you a mood board

This Man 

This Dream Library 

This Dream House 

This Ensemble

This Dream Kitchen 

The Socks 

This Painting 

The Great 

My mood board seems to tell me that I'm in an excellent mood. Probably due to Melodee, Doctor Who, Cookies and Cream ice-cream with blueberries, Lentil burgers with excellent chips and this song.

I leave you one impression of my face from today

With cranes upon my window pane and sunshine on my face,

Over and out,

This Little Pig.

  

ONSDAG: Sad rude future dude(tte)

1. Hello my oinkers! This is what I wore as I: a) tore through microeconomics like hungry bear on a diet of supply and demand and b) went out to load up on food for emotional eating because supply and demand is JUST NOT ENOUGH FOR THIS BEAR. Or rather, Little Pig.
2. My period of exile from the outside world, known as Self-Imposed House Arrest in Order to Consolidate a Semester's Worth of Knowledge (S.I.H.A.O.C.S.W.K. for short but by no means easier to remember), has been remarkably successful. 
3. I attribute this to not dressing like a hobo at home (dress in trackies, feel like trackies, remember?), and listening to one song on repeat as an outlet for my angst, rather than curling up in the foetal position and therefore disabling myself from actually doing work.
4. This time next week I will be as free as a Melodee in a treehouse.
5. Here is my hair. I decided that if hair grease was socially acceptable to ingest, my hair would be capable of supplying a McDonald's frier for at least three months in its present condition (excuse me while I smack talk myself), which is why it is not in the tousled glory of the first picture. I am very excited to do my hair like this forever. I call them 'Instant, Somewhat-Victorious Rolls'. I figure that if 'five-minute victory rolls' on youtube take me half an hour to do, my actual five minute ones must be INSTANTANEOUS.

SONDAG: I know you're messy but please don't mess with me

Like Allison, I have also finished my first semester of university. This has been "celebrated" by hanging out in my room with Josh Pyke, Cloud Control and Adele.
At first I thought I would be really discontented from not having the pressure to study for anything. I have since learned that doing the things I wanted to do whilst procrastinating are just as enjoyable when I am not doing them as a way of getting out of studying for my one exam. These things largely consist of hanging out in my own company as you can see below:

 Yes, so comme vous pouvez voir this time spent in my room has been passed by dancing, reading and wonderings.

I have also spent some time outside in my tree-house. I used to be really scared of it because of the first time I was up there a massive possum came right up to me and freaked me out. But, this time around, in broad daylight, I was able to pass the time in there without fear of attack.

 And that is enough from me for this week, I am off to make my dinner.
Goodbye xoxo
