It doesn't get better than home now does it.

I still live at home with my parents in one very messy bedroom (actually I'm sleeping in the spare room because I can't fit on my bed with all that crap... another story for another day). While attempting to clean my room for the 18th time this year my mother said "You really need a house for all your things". And she's right! I have no intention of moving out anytime soon because I love living with my parents. But I wish I had an entire house to fill with all my things... but I have a feeling it wouldn't be long before all my things would magically expand so much so that I'd need another house. A house full of these goodies... (Modcloth you have a lot to answer for. How will I ever afford NYC?)

Oh... and I think maybe a Hey, Emmaline! teapot might feature too... (wink wink)

All the nice girls love a sailor

I'm really diggin' Mod Cloth's recent foray into nautical themed dresses! Not sure if I could actually pull any of them off, but it's fun to dream. I love that sailor look - perhaps harking back to my die-hard Sailor Moon fan days... yes I was that girl who still dreamed about Tuxedo Mask when I was 17.
What about you? Would you go for the sailor girl look in day to day fashion or do you think it slips into costume territory?

Happy St Patricks Day!

Old fashioned girl in a gingham gown

So Summer has up and left us with some pretty crummy Autumn weather. Never fear - Modcloth is brightening up my gloomy, Sydney Friday with fun gingham and stripes (my favouriteeee!)

These make me want to go on a picnic so badly - despite the crummy weather and ants. (I'm not a big outdoorsy girl, mostly because my bottom tends to always find an anthill on which to sit.)

Owen is always asking me to fix up his pants or re-sew a button... and I'm a pretty crummy girlfriend because I haven't done any of the above (to be fair, he's a pretty crummy boyfriend for asking - do it yourself!). Maybe I need one of these cute tins to inspire him? Doubtful. But I want it anyway...

Seriously, a dog wearing a beret? You had me at hello. But a dachshund no less? I'm sold. I want to buy this for Liz!

Anyway - HAPPY FRIDAY. I'm going home tonight to sew more donuts and hang out with my ma!

A vested interest...

Cute or what?! This is what is currently catching my eye on Modcloth... But I think it would look best with jeans... and yes, you know that story by now!

Waiter, there's a rabbit in my whisk...

Hey Miss Liz,

These cute Modcloth whisks make me think of you. I think I'll send M some psychic message to buy these for you(along with something shiny and or baked and sugary) for Feb 14. Or hopefully M is reading the blog and can save me some seriously needed brain-power.

Love Em x

Things I would purchase had I ample funds..

1. Bag by The Cambridge Satchel Co. (£64.99) - found via The Angry Chicken

2. Strangers on a Train dress from Modcloth ($67.99 USD)

3. Leaf shoot tape from Miss Macau ($2.20 USD)

Um.... I er... will finish this post.... later....

I think I speak for 95% of the population when I say we're a giant bunch of procrastinators. The only time you'll see me clean my room is when an essay is due the next day. Safe to say I no longer have essays to do and my room remains filthy... but I still find other ways to procrastinate (this blog for example!) and for that reason I intend to buy this calendar from Modcloth for everyone I know. Provided I actually get around to it...

I want! I want!

Catching up on Mad Men season 2 means I'm HOOKED on the 50s/60s fashion... like this cutie from Modcloth which is just dying to find its rightful home in my wardrobe... It's one of many great finds at Modcloth that help you channel your inner 50s housewife, for those who are so inclined (me!)

Modcloth Matilda dress

Give me a typewriter, a pat on the bottom and I'm your's Don Draper... Can you blame me?
