I just stumbled across Emma Watson’s new line for People Tree. People tree aims to provide fashionable fair-trade clothes. Emma’s line is organic and reasonably priced. Now, if only they shipped to Australia…
These are my two favourite items:

Moira contrast trim dress

Grenville college bag
The whole line is very preppy. What are your favourites?

So yesterday was Australia Day. I’m not very patriotic and try not to be too bogan, you’ll never see me sporting a flag as a cape or a southern cross tattoo. But I do love the day off and a good barbecue! I went to Amanda’s house which was nice to escape the packing up of my life to visit friends. Unfortunately, I forgot my awesome hat and am now very sunburnt. Not good.
Today I’ve been going though and packing up all my clothes. Who knew I had so many? And I regularly clean out my closet. Its all stuff I wear often and love dearly.


Hat: Rip Curl, top: Valley Girl dress attacked by scissors, jeans: Sportsgirl, shoes: Wittner.
These jeans started off tastefully ripped..Now my leg can fit through the hole in the knee…I know this because I put them on in the dark… *sigh* Need to find a patch of some sort.

This time next week I will be living in Canberra! Unfortunately, moving house means packing up everything and putting it all in marked boxes, hoping it doesn’t go missing and hoping that you can set everything up again just the way you had it. This can be difficult. I’ve tried to solve this dilemma by taking pictures of everything just the way it was.
I thought I’d share my bedroom wall with you all:


Burberry, chanel, pearls, shoes and an assortment of other random pictures I love.
Whats on your wall?

I saw this gorgeous blue dress outside a shop which I try to avoid like the plague. It’s cheap, its nasty…Its frequented by girls with dirty orange fake tan, inch thick makeup and general nastiness. I once witnessed an altercation in this store and vowed never to set foot in there again…) It went something like this:
Girl with council estate facelift and horrendous fake (because I don’t think they make real ones) Louis Vuitton tracksuit walks up to group of 12yr olds. I was safety hidden behind a rack of fluoro slogan t-shirts.
Tracksuit girl: Oi! Are you the bitch whats been bitch slappin’ bitches?
12yr old: Oi what are you sayin’ bitch? I ain’t been bitch slappin’ no bitches.
Security guard: Oi! What’s going on here eh?
Tracksuit girl and 12 year old together: Oi nothin’ bro
Tracksuit girl exits stage left. And everything goes back to normal.
I saw this dress on a rack out the front, grabbed it, checked for fake tan marks, bought it for $15 and left as soon as I could to avoid detection. I tried it on when I got home and loved it! I was also pleasantly surprised when I saw its swing tag that said it had been made in Australia. For reals? I always try to buy Australian made when I can, but its hardly ever affordable to do so on a student budget.

So I was outside today with dear Ping. We have to supervise him so he doesn’t climb over the fence and get stuck. He gets stuck doing a lot of things…He gets so excited when he’s outside. He chases the dog. He dives under bushes (gets stuck) and rolls around in the dirt. And he runs. Oh, does he run.
I snapped this picture with my new Canon ixus 100is. I was trying to test how well it took motion shots. And it did well! My old camera, a dodgy Kodak, was good at closeups and motion shots but nothing else. The Canon is a good all-rounder.
