Although Thomas, Larissa and I have not found our perfect home yet, I am already looking up inspiration for it. See below.
Also I am thinking about cutting my hair like this.

Time stands still when I think of you
What has happened to our blog! No updates in two weeks, thats almost embarassing... I at least have a good excuse for why I haven't updated, my computer broke about a week ago, totally broken beyond repair. I'm considering buying a laptop in the next few weeks even though I can't afford it at all, I still kinda want one... I had an extremely crazy weekend just past, lots of drinking and dance parties, things inappropriate for discussion on the internet. This coming weekend is Polacko's going away party :( sad times, but at least with him moving to London I will have somewhere to stay when I go there!
So because I haven't had a computer/the internet for a while now, I haven't really been very inspired by anything new. I did get an amazing hair cut last Thursday though which I have gotten nothing but compliments about. It kinda looks like this on one side...
... and its longer on the other. Its freaking hot and I love it so much.
So I also applied for a job at Toronto Film Festival, I haven't heard back from them yet but before I applied, I asked my volunteer coordinator from Images to be my reference (she also works for TIFF) and she's going to recommend me for another position! Its one that doesn't get advertised, only people who are recommended by theatre staff can apply, so thats totally the best thing ever! Working for TIFF will be the best cap off for this whole canadian adventure of mine, I'm so excited!
In other film news, Bloor Cinema is showing some French new wave films in the coming weeks, I think I'm going to see Jules and Jim by Francois Truffaut. I need to feel inspired.

Feeling better Feeling better
My life lately has been a series of ups and downs. Esther, Stace and Rizz left this morning, we parted ways after TV on the Radio last night, we all got some jungle fever after that show!!! I was feeling pretty mopey today, I had been looking forward to them coming for so long and we had such an AMAZING time while they were and now I feel like I have nothing to look forward to :(
Anyway our weekend away in Montreal was great! The Yves Saint Laurent exhibition made me want to live my life completely differently. I want to stop spending money on stupid things and only buy fabulous clothes. And I want my life to be full of drama. I felt so unfashionable and boring... Montreal is so different in the summer, I could hardly recognise old Montreal without all the snow! I got sunburnt again though :( We ate some nice food, drank some nice beer, laid around in some parks, took lots of naps, generally lived it up! We got home for Canada Day which was full of bucket mojitos and fireworks! I also got to spend some time with my new housemates which was pretty great! But now those lovely friends of ours have moved on and I wish them the best for their continuing voyage!
So I've been thinking about an extreme haircut. I have had this shortish hair with straight-across-fringe things for a while now and I really don't think I have the will power to grow my hair right now... The problem I always have with really short hair is that I'm too lazy to style it so I always tie it up but I have an idea... I'm thinking asymetical, with a long sideswept fringe to one side then gradually into a short bob just at my ear on the other side. My plan is to wear it out as much as I can stand and then have the long bits long enough to braid around so it will be out of my face. Its the best of both worlds! I can't find a picture of it but I hope you get the idea.
I've been listening to The Teenagers alot lately, they're real fun and french. Jessica when I get home we are going to start french lesson and when we are good, we will go to France together ok deal.
Oh and I think I'm going on a date next week. Maybe there will be some french there too ;)

Imagine my surprise this morning when the email I get regularly from refinery29 had something I actually liked in it! And more than that, something I could actually wear! Built By Wendy's Spring '08 collection is really cute and fresh, and I think there are things for both you and I, Natalie. I really love the long sportjacket, it reminded me of the one I opped last week (but still haven't had drycleaned). Also, the florals are really sweet. The bottom Flower Scoop Mini is all about rack & legs, you should look at the website to see it on the pretty model.
Built By Wendy Spring '08I also found a pretty girl's flickr via Wardrobe Remix. Her haircut is so sweet, give me your opinion. Do you think this haircut will look as good with dark hair? Probably black, I think it's all black for winter. From what I can deduce, it's a little longer at the front and then bobbed at the hairline at the neck. I don't think I'd wear the bits (she has them plaited here) out, but I'm okay with little plaits all the time! I also don't want to look like a lesbian, if I'm going to be wearing blazers all winter.
Pic courtesy of piksi_I really enjoyed your last post, Natalie, so I am going to list a list of basics that I think will complete my current wardrobe. I am also a culprit of thinking "yeah all I need is like, a sequined bolero jacket to complete my style" when in reality, nothing I own would go with a sequined bolero so that adds a whole other list of problems in my already questionable style scheme.
Good Flats
Starting from the bottom up, I really need 2 good pairs of flats. One hard wearing leather ballet flat, one sparkly almond-toe slingback. I have so many pairs of flats already but none that are really universal.
Booties
I am going to get some booties this winter that I hope will stay in my style for some time. I want some that are almond-toe, ankle length, and have heavy duty fastenings like buckles and zips. In an antique brown or black, please.
Good Raw Jeans
Stretch jeans can only last so long, so I need to find a well-fitting pair of raw denim jeans. I like Denimbirds but my budget, and body type, doesn't. Suggestions will be taken as of Winter.
Silk & Cotton Blouses
... are perfect. Vintage optional, in muted pastels and neutrals and every colour! They breathe, unlike the synthetic pussybow blouses of my past. I can also wear these casually or formally.
Cotton T-Shirts
In neutral or bold colours, oversized, sleeves rollable. I have taken to wearing L v-necked American Apparel t-shirts under last summer's pinafores, it's adorable.
Cashmere
I really want some cashmere this winter. A nice sweater or two, and a cardigan.
LBD's
I already have more than enough, but the hunt continues. I could really do with a strapless LBD that's fitted at the top and rounder from the waist to the knee. Heidi Klum wears one on a Project Runway ad that looks quilted, and that really appeals to me!
Summer Frocks
Vintage, or chain store, summer frocks are the greatest thing ever. To be able to sit on a picnic rug encircled with pretty patterned cotton is truly a blessing.
Outerwear
I have many blazers, that I love. Also a cropped leather jacket, my Lover tapestry cape, my APC over-shirt-jacket-thing, and my Kate Hurst mini peacoat. I'd really love a little capelet that ties in a bow to fasten to wear over above LBD with wrist-length-gloves.
Purses
A large leather tote (M by MJ?), a small shoulder bag (Luella?), a canvas duffle bag (Country Road?) and a pretty evening purse should do me just fine.
Headwear
Headbands, hats and feathers galore. When I finally make something worth taking a picture of, I will post.
Now I just have to fund these extravagances, find them, and be on my way!
Oh so now a real-life update. I had a minor breakdown last week about my lack of prac options. I was totally in the frame of mind where, this prac was going to determine the rest of my life. I have now set myself the goals of; 25 - not in Perth; 30 - on the right track. So I can work in music or theatre or festivals until I get the experience I need, go somewhere I really want to be, and then start on the discipline I want to be in. I'm also going to make a lot of art this year. Once Esther and Stace leave, I am going to be a total study bug, but I really want to have an outlet that isn't uni-related to blow off steam. Expect watercolours and experiments with light.
On Saturday I saw Lullatone at the Bakery, they were seriously the cutest thing ever. They handed recorders out to the crowd and made a symphony. Their latest album is called Bedtime Beats, all about getting ready for bed and going to sleep. By the end of it, I felt as though I'd eaten my body weight in fairy floss, but it was worth it.

Hrrrrrr
I need to go the hairdressers before I turn grey, and therefore need some advice..
Currently I am working the long-fringe-and-braids-bun but when I wear it out, it looks outgrown. Below is a picture of Maggie Gyllenhaal in 'Stranger than Fiction', I think my hair would do this okay.
It's pretty cute and I think it would go with my style this winter! But is it too similar to my last hairstyle..? And do I really like her hair, or do I want to be her character in this movie? Sweet, creative tattooed girl who has a great townhouse and who's lucky in love?
You be the judge... I would obviously love a long thick mane of beautiful hair but that just isn't in my destiny.
Tomorrow I am choosing new glasses, hitting the op-shop traps and interviewing at a bookstore, and telephoning you. I will update with hopefully new, old clothes and success in all areas of my life.
Oh and I saw Cat Power yesterday, le sigh. <3

Hairy Plans
So ever since I saw Cat Power earlier this month, I made the desicion to grow a great mane of hair. Its going to take a long time but I've made a committment and I'm going to stick to it. So I picked out some in between haircuts, which will start like this...
...which will grow into this...
Thats going to be me, standing in a windy field. Its going to be awesome.
In other news, I have been working a full time office job which is not much fun but I have had the chance to come up with some super cute office outfits. I will update with a selection of my favourites soon!
