village markets- May

The early bird catches the worm - so they say. We were up early to catch some morning sun, grab a bite to eat and a strong coffee,  go for a little walk, and take a look through the much loved Village Markets. The turn out today was absolutely fantastic. The gorgeous sunny weather probably had something to do with it. As I have mentioned quite a few times previously, it's normally raining every Village Market Sunday, so it was really nice to walk around without an umbrella in hand for a change. I picked up two rad pieces that I will do outfit posts on later this week. I love them. And I love that I only spent $25.00 and I now have two very unique garments that noone else I know would own.

There was so many stalls to swoon over this time. A lot of ridiculously cool jewellery and of course one off dresses and a couple of new stalls I hadn't seen there before. I really enjoy seeing new up and coming designers showcasing their designs at the Markets. It's a good way for them to get in touch with the people they are selling to. It's just a little more personal than buying from their online stores.

I quickly caught up with Asha (designer of Calabash) on the way to the markets. We have something cool to show you in the coming months! So keep posted. Check out her facebook for updates in stock etc.

Thank you all for letting me take some snaps of your stalls.

Leopard and lace. How could I refuse? I've loved Elle Macpherson bras ever since my sister gave me one in 2006.

HAPPY HUMP DAY

blow your speakers

Good Morning! Last day of the long weekend. Noooo! At least the weather is semi-good! Hopefully no black clouds roll over like yesterday. Though it worked to my favor with these photos. I don't really have much planned for today. I just want to take it as it comes. What do you have planned?

I had so much fun taking these. Keep in mind we don't normally hang out in abandoned car parks. I thought being there on a public holiday no one would be there. But when we were there we had a little audience of cars. They must have thought we were up to something really bizarre when I was jumping up and down on the spot. Jonathan went for a skate after we finished - and I took some really cool shots of him. I'll share them with you another day.

I am off to have some fun whilst probably still eating loads of chocolate.

Firstly: HAPPY EASTER! I know it's Easter Moday, but I still want to wish you all a Happidity Easter. Have you all totally chilled out the past few days? I sure have. It has been absolutely amazing. I have eaten way too much chocolate as well. I never thought that could be possible - ever.  I have spent the last few days bike riding, at the beach, eating out, having a massive family feast last night and relaxing with awesome company. I could not have asked for a better Easter. My only little complaint is I wish I could have made it home to see the parents! But that will have to been another holiday in the near future!

(Vintage skirt, Supre top, Steve Madden boots, Karen Walker Necklace and Earrings, Ebay Skarf/Belt)

I picked this skirt up for $2 from a Op-shop sale two weekends ago. Amazing right?  I love the khaki colouring, the material and the way it skims the top of my ankle boots - any longer and my boots would have been totally hidden. I have an inkling that it was hand made originally as well, as the sewing is delicate and doesn't look like it has been machined. 


I will be back to posting every day again so make sure you're following Unknown Pleasures daily.

And I felt complete

A little over exposed but I love the skirt I am wearing in this shot, so I had to show you. It's basically the only photo I got with this skirt on. Damn. It's East of Grey (you may have remembered I borrowed some clothes from the label for my recent adventure to Sydney). I wish I was going to be in town for RAFW. All this talk on twitter is giving me a case of the green eyed monster.

Have an awesome Hump day.
