Aren't you all lucky that there is two giveaways going at once! So, you have the chance to win either the gorgeous green ring I made, or this gorgeous East of Grey dress, which the lovely Kim Bailey was nice enough to send me to give to one of my awesome readers!

Entering is simple lovers! All you have to do is be a follower of Unknown Pleasures either with Google or Bloglovin' and leave a comment on this post with your email address! For a second entry for the giveaway simply follow the East of Grey journey on Facebook here.

Today i am working on a few bits and pieces, then we're checking out a rad apartment ( fingers crossed it's what we are after), then we're off to Brissy tonight to see a band play. I can't help but feel so excited. I  might sneak in outfit post tonight! So stay tuned.

Karen walker....I really want round sunnies.

My boyfriend made me a shirt today. I wanted ribs on a shirt. I was too scared I'd screw it up...So he took it into his own hands! What a sweetie. I LOVE IT.

I'll do a proper outfit post this week. I took these photos really quickly 'cos i wanted to give you a sneak peek!

Hope you had a wicked two days off... My weekend has been awesome, perfect even.

I am no longer the re-growth queen! I got my hair done today!

I thought I'd mix things up with my usual heading- so as you can see i wrote it on post-its. What do you think?

There are a number of small things

A friday night walk on the beach turned into impromptu outfit post. I love that type.... Nothing planned, but it all fell into place quite nicely. Except that the flash did not want to fire properly. I can not believe how WARM the water was. It was rather lovely- considering i wasn't wearing much on my walk. I didn't realise it was going to get dark so fast!

I made the shirt today "IN SEARCH OF THE FUTURE"- print and everything! It's significant of how I feel at the moment. I am looking forward to the future more than anything. I'm feeling this year. Have a wicked time over your weekend.

I'm feeling a little D.I.Y coming along. Dr Martens 10-Hole Boots and a visit to a punk inspired shop for a studded belt. Actually there's probably a pyramid studded belt floating around home somewhere. Boom.

Chain: Sportsgirl

Getting amongst the head chain. Still can't decide if i like them all not. Doesn't matter if i don't, it wasn't a massive blow to my bank account. I sort of feel like I am wearing a necklace on my head. Well, i guess it basically is a necklace...

Verameat

VERAMEAT COLLECTION

These little babies are hand-crafted in New York City. Aren't they awesome? The best thing is you don't have to go hungry for a month just to afford them. Each piece is so wearable. I couldn't pick a favourite! I am becoming more drawn to delicate rings at the moment. Don't get me wrong- I still love my big chunky statement rings, but there's something about the fine details of the smaller jewelery that is appealing to me more and more. I am thinking about picking up a couple of the eco-friendly (recycled silver and pure 14k gold) rings when pay day arrives!

To shop the Verameat collection click here. Postage to AUST is only $15!


Have a wicked day!

sea within a sea

Skirt: From a Boutique Bodice: Cotton on Body(who said it can't look nice or worn on the outside)

Jewellery: Made by me and black ring from a boutique, Earrings: Karen walker Shoes: Jeffrey Campbell

I'm sure that about 80% of the people on the beach were thinking i was crazy turning up in a full length skirt and equipped with heels. The other 20% were too busy trying to keep the sand out of their eyes and mouth to notice. I have no idea how they could just lay there in the wind. I could not think of anything worse than spending the day at the beach when it is so, so windy. We were there for a maximum of 10 minutes before we both got over it. Each to their own.

Positive: Got some sick shots.  Negative: ate a gut-ful of sand getting these shots.

So I basically jumped at the chance to take a photo of my outfit before the heavens decide to inundate us with more rain later in the week! I'm not complaining about the rain any longer, but i do hope it holds off for all the families cleaning up in flood-ridden areas. It's really eerie going into the supermarkets up here. There is no food. All the fresh produce has been sold and no more is coming to our shelves until Brisbane is back on track. It's like something out of a movie. If you haven't already, reach into your pockets and help the thousands of Aussies in need here.


I wish it was a long weekend this weekend. I don't feel like I've relaxed enough....


Super excited for the next few months. I have a good feeling about them. And i have so much on! BUSY, BUSY!

Hope you've all had a wicked weekend.
