school uniforms


i found this school uniform dress at an op shop the other day. it's so damn hard to photograph, but it looks brilliant in person. can you believe they gave it to me for two dollars!? it has this nice a-line shape, and looks super sweet with a grey scarf and navy stockings.


i think shopping for actual school uniforms, as opposed to schoolgirl-inspired things, is the way to go. i swear there are skirts at american apparel that you could find on private school girls all over the place. those stuffy school uniform stores are exactly where i need to be. if you know of any especially good ones, tell me please!

korean wonder-products


today we were hunting for a place that a friend had given us very vague directions to, in lieu of a handful of korean wonder-products. we were led to a very suspicious part of chinatown, then another very suspicious part of chinatown, then probably ten others before we found what we were looking for. the things we do for nice skin! anyway, this is what i wore.

the dress was found at an op shop the other day, the jacket is from country road, the stockings are from david jones and the bag is from topshop. i also wore a nice cream-coloured headband in my hair.


and this is what i bought! (in order of appearance)

1. pond's dry skin cream
2. pond's white beauty pearl cream
3. eskinol classic facial cleanser
4. eskinol naturals lemon facial cleanser

while we were tired and sore from walking such a distance, our day was not over yet. ra ra superstar (who i found at the finders keepers markets and liked so much because they sold me the finest white skirt) were having a big sale, so we were off to paddington. unfortunately, the nicest things were not on sale at all, so we left empty-handed. next was the big antiques centre, where we found many fine things, but nothing to come home with us. tomorrow i will have to show you what we found. but now, i think, it is time to watch a nice movie in bed with a bucket full of popcorn.
