chocolate & salt.

Bought the new issue of Russh and I'm ready to devour it. In the mean time I'm thinking about introducing these two things into my life... what do you think?

1. Vans - they are like the new Converse for me.. something about their snap that I'm into.




2. Chocolate dipped, salted chips (since I'm really into salted peanuts and choc) - yuumm

Devotion

I've said it before, I'll say it again.
I don't know any one personally who wears them, so I feel like I can get away with this:I know I'm no authoritative voice, but I really hate Jeffery Campbell shoes... Litas grotesquely disproportionate and I don't get why they are still around. If you don't know what I'm talking about, keep it that way. Rant over.

On another topic that reminds me of Sydney is the sweet terraces of inner-city. The Cool Hunter recently did  feature on one that had been renovated completely in Balmain. Relatively austere on the exterior but amazing inside. It reminds me of the terrace house I grew up in in Glebe, quaint and understated on the outside, but modern and expanding on the inside.








On the topic of architecture - check out this cute church.







The design of this makes it look more spiritual than most churches!

Gold Shoes of Glory


So, I am so devastated with the whole enrolment process. For some reason it didn't let me enrol in one of my design mandatory subjects that was 6 credit points. I sent off what they call an 'e-request' to get it sorted. I just got a reply stating that they had replaced my 6 credit points with a 12 credit point subject and I was to un-enrol from my elective to do this mandatory subject. Sounds simple right? Wrong. My heart broke at reading the words - I have to un-enrol from my French Language elective, I am devasted. Italian is great, but ever since highschool I've wanted to do French except a series of unfortunate events has prevented me from learning it...and the tale continues.

I was just on Garance Doré's blog and she had uploaded a photo of a woman from Paris, nothing special..but still lovely. I really really want to move there and learn French, so I guess I'll find a way!

On another note, I love Garance but I'm not a huge fan of her fashion sense. However, in this image she is wearing the gold shoes from Zara that I keep staring at, I can't make up my mind on whether I like them or not! However I really like how Garance has teamed it up with a fairly masculine coat. I can see myself wearing a winter coat, tight black/dark jeans and then POP, my gold shoes of glory. I might have to visit Zara and try them on. I've only got a whole 9 week left (yikes) to stock up on that bad boy.

I love WHITE!

I've always hated the colour white, never worn it (except for my year 12 formal..oddly enough?). So except for one occasion I've never worn white. I still hate wearing white, I fee like a P. Diddy Party Attendee (patented), however I loooove white accessories at the moment.  I'm currently sitting here typing wearing a white watch, white shoes and white nail polish. I think the key for me is wearing it with black or dark colours too, don't want to go and look like an angel now do I...

In a couple of posts ago I blogged a photo of a pair of shoes that I said were the 'perfect flats'. Little did I know that they were just from Zara and I saw them today in the store. I really need to hone down my spending, but they are so amazing I had to try them on...oh nooo I'm going to buy these. But aha! They were THE most uncomfortable shoes I have ever worn. So glad. I really need to save for holidays.


In the flesh...


With all that said and done.... I ended up buying these much cheaper shoes. They are much more travel appropriate and I love them! Plus they are white, forget colour pop, it's all about the white pop now.



On another note; here is a really old photo of a pair of shoes I would of died for. They had fruits all over them, I couldn't take a proper photo because I got told off straight after I took this one... grr!


On the topic of fruits. Whilst staying here in Italy I've had the insightful experience of seeing so many poorly written English slogan T-shirts. Where you know the person who has written them uses English as a second language. You would think that if you were going to put something on a top, you would check it was translated properly first. However, this top is just plain odd:

Oh.. okay....

Le scarpe

While we're on the subject of shoes, would also like these from Zara.





Voglio queste scarpe.
