Spring!

HELLO SPRING!

Happy first say of September everyone.

HANNAH AND I LEAVE IN 11 DAYS. ughh. SO EXCITED/SCARED!

anyway; my boyfriend and I decided to have a day out togeth

er and went down to Norwood and saw a movie.. (Inglourious Basterds - if your a Tarantino fan - i say great movie.. if you have a weak stomagh, DO NOT SEE IT.)

and i fell for this jacket in 'Sooki' (probably one of my most favey shops EVER.)

Coat - Maurie And Eve

Shoes - Zu

These shoes are my formal ones - and something i struggle with wearing. (Trust me, in our home town, 'dressing up' is wearing a nice jacket and even putting some flats on :O so we get a few funny looks wearing anything but 'the norm')

also a HUGE shoutout to a little princess, from Tales of a Wondering Star, who had a competition for a gorgeous neckalace by Sticky Kitten.. which we won! amazingly enough :)

she has a great blog! with lots of amazing pictures!!

love Sophie xo!

Almost September..

Heeya :)

so; thanks to the amazing Nikki from Flair to Remember, Hannah and I got free tickets to see 'The September Issue'

which was great! Everything about it was entertaining! and the clothes, OH the clothes. but my one love was the photo shoots... so amazing. anyway, definately a movie we recommend seeing!

so, thankyou Nikki!

This is what Hannah wore; my outfit was very similar! (unintentional, of course)

but she wears..

miss shop floral top

Sass & Bide jeans :)

and the fabulous Dotti cardi.

our obsession; Gloria Jeans Caramel Latte

and these amazing shoes we both think our boyfriends should own. (at Miss Gladys Sym Choons in Rundle Street, Adelaide)

anyway; i have our 'going away dinner'.. and am yet to figure out something to wear,

so adios chicas!

Love Sophie xo!

flowers and ticking clocks

Hello :)

Today was my first day off in FOREVER. so i decided to spend it with my family.. shopping and what-not :)

I was in desperate need of a lightweight sleeping bag (for Europe, naturally.) and i got a perfect one in bright orange, so pretty happy!

i also bought this dress;

it was $25.. and i got it in the 'blue' pattern.. i'm thinking, perfect for my non-existant spring/end of summer wardrobe :)

but i was looking for a skirt initially, and the bottom part of this dress is perfect! (trust me; it looks better in real life)

anyway; after seeing my extended family for the last time until Christmas, i'm pretty exhausted. We talked on Skype with our cousins in Queensland, which was amazing. :) i miss them very much.

so; 20 sleeps to go.

very unorganized in regards to WHAT we're actually doing in Europe.. but i'm sure it'll get there.

eventually.

nighty night :)

Sophie xo!

The sun in my window

Well hello there :)

As per usual, Sophie and I have been working a lot. Well actually, Soph's working like, 50 hours a week which is LUDICROUS! But soon we shall reap the fruits of our labour,, actually in about 22 whole days to be exact :O YAYYYYY!

The hardest thing for both of us, is not spending our money on clothes. I mean, i don't know the last time i bought something just cause i liked it. When i see something i like in a shop, its then followed by my brain trying to justify my need for say, a great pair of $100+ shoes.. and then i walk out after i realise that i cant afford non-essentials. After all, if i need them, why would i buy them in Adelaide when i can buy them in London or Paris or Barcelona or.. you get the picture. (just trying to rub it in) haha

But the other day my cheap black flats literally fell apart. So i went to kmart :) and was actually impressed that i found something i really liked for $30.

Second to my latest love of sequins, is beading so well done kmart! Andd because they were cheap, i can justify throwing them away if i find something i like more in london and dont have suitcase room!

And, on an equally important note, how pretty are these flowers from the garden!

Have a lovely day!!

Hannah x

love.

I found this picture of my good friends, Owen and Charlotte that I took at Victor Harbour a while back..


Lady of the Sunshine,
show me how to live again,

Lady in the heart of time,
take me to the other side,

Lady of the Sunshine,
for you, I'd die again,

Lady in the heart of time,
show me how to love again.



Lady Sunshine by Lady of the Sunshine (did you guess that?!)

these words turned my day around.

today, I was lucky enough to receive some mail... (it's rare to get something other than bank statements.. and they can hardly be considered exciting.)

but Hannah and I got this beautiful little note from our friend, Bambola at Bambola's Diary






















On the back, she wrote a note, wishing us well for our trip!
after 12 hours of working in customer service, it's reassuring to know there are generous and loving people out there in the big bad world. :)

so THANKYOU LOVELY! you have made my day... my week! It means a tremendous amount to us, and we appreciate it so, so much! you are amazing!
LOTS OF LOVE!

Sophie & Hannah xo!

Pig&Pepper

this was pieces of photography from my year 12 design work. I didn't use any of these for my major practical - but Hannah looks very pretty so, on the blog they go!

the first was an unintentional shot.. haha. Hannah had actually mysteriously cut herself.. and the wind was very strong..
We took these at a place called 'Fairy Land Village' - totally deserted when we were there, it's a series of little houses with odd set-ups of various fairytale stories.
kind of creepy, really.


OH. and THIS WAS HANNAH'S AMAZING FORMAL DRESS.









anyway, i'm off to have one of my boss, Jose's, AMAZING coffees :)
love Sophie xo!

pretty princess

oh, Peter Alexander; how I love you so.

especially when you make fabulous pyjamas like these;


which I was quite happy to purchase :)
they are the most beautiful, soft fabric.
OHSUCHLOVE.


and also my neeeew walking shoes.


anyway; I'm going to be late for work.

love Sophie xo!

Tribute

I have never been much of a fan for Radiohead - but this song is beautiful.

It's a tribute to Harry Patch, the last soldier to fight in the trenches of Europe in World War I, who died at the age of 111.


anyway, i'm an absolute sucker for strings/orchestral music. so; enjoy.

Hello :)

Hannah and I attended one of our friend's 18th dinner tonight.
we saw 'Public Enemies' - which we personally - don't think was anything to rave about. a lot of guns. and not the man kind. (though, Johnny Depp IS on the 'who i'd like to marry list')

anyway, after our dinner of a 'vegetable stack' - being the undedicated picky meat eater vegetarians that we are. (delicious!)


we then proceeded to take classy pictures in the bathroom..
with our amazing bestest friend, Sienna.


SO;
i (Sophie) am wearing my Living Doll dress - which i bought years ago - but have never worn.

and Hannah is wearing
- Temt top
- Sass & Bide Jeans :)


anyway, have a lovely Sunday!
love Sophie xo!
