still fond

well HEYthere
so i got a new layout,
i felt it needed to include some polaroids, so i just grabbed some photos of mine and turned them into polaroids. im forever changing my mind about my blog so it will probably change again soon as i want something floral...ill sort something out
does anyone fancy it?

christmas was kind of awesome this year.
christmas always is cool but this year it just seemed particularly radd
i got this amazing entirely leather man satchel for college next year and i totally adore it.when i first saw it i fell in love with it but the price tag was serious. buti got it for christmas and i was over the moon, it was my my main present and oh i love it. the photos really dont do it justice

from my sister i got the new cut off your hands cd - you and i, as well as their entire back catalouge. goodlord they are just fantastic. i also found out my cousin danny knows them well and i actually happydanced so much, im going to try and meet // get a autorgraph or photo or something from them. their music is amazing and i have been listening to their ep's and demo cds all the time since. unfortunately the photo is super blurry but yeah.
from deborah i got this fashion encyclopedia called 'fashion now two'
it sounds lame but ohmygosh its fantastic. the book is really thick and it has in it
'160 of i-D magazines favourite fashion designers from around the world'
it also has a small interview with each designer and photos of their work and their story. its kind of like my bible.
i got a few other things
- ipod speakers (WOO)
- i got my vintage white super poofy petticoat officially, im thinking doc martens meets sweetheart
- a few clothes and vouchers etc
- some really pretty false lashes
- my aunties partner, peter, works for Yves Saint Laurent and he is very high up with their make up thingy in new zealand so they always have lots of products and luckily i normally get them. so i got a bag of amazing goodies including liquid liner, touche brilliance lip lacquer, young sexy lovely eau de toilette and some other gorgeous things
the photo is a tad awful and doesn't give the skirt justice but oh well. look in a previous blog to see one of the outfits i incorporated it into. its so much fun


in the morning we had our annual cigar brunch with my grandomther and two uncles. we sit around and eat bagels with salmon, capers and cream cheese and drink coffee and my uncles have cigars. its fantastic
this year we hosted the family christmas dinner at our house and all my cousins- danny and his wife sarah aka toots, catherine aka ese, tim - who flew in from nyc, david - who works as a bouncer in nightclubs and told me he was doing security for bdo too so he'd give me a shout out, chris - who was in oz but we called him, (the carlsen cousins) came over as well as my three aunties, joe, jill and anne and it was just so cool to see everyone.

today (boxing day) we had our family friends over and at first i really wasn't looking forward to it but we got on famously and i had a great afternoon // evening. i drank far too much champagne and im going to have a awful headache tomorrow but hey, its christmas. all of us ended up watching antm and we all jumped up and down in excitement when the bitchy girl we hated got eliminated. it was the episode where all the girls get their makeovers and nigel (family friend and hairdresser) was giving us the full lowdown on everything.

ill start again with my outfit-ness and lists soon but i am just so tired i am just going to crash into bed now.


LOVE to you all, i
hope you had fantastic christmases and boxing days and can now go and enjoy all the post christmas sales haha.
