They don't rise up, just descend.

So, with a new place comes new findings. I was used to the lighting and areas around my old apartment. So it has been fun and a challenge to find the right light  for my quick outfit or "new finds posts''. We have a balcony (jumps in excitement) at our new place, which basically has sun all day long . Also in the coming weeks a kickass camera is being purchased (Thank you tax return and the help of my boyfriend).

For those who have been following my blog from the start you know my love of designing unique pieces of apparel. But, for those of you who have only been following lately-I'm sure you will quickly realise this little fact about me. I won't be able to hide it from you.  I could never be stuck in an office job. I would literally go insane. I need to express myself in some way. I am yet to discover what i want to do. But, what i do know is what i don't want to do. I see myself working towards something- I'm only twenty, so i figure i have some time to play.

Here is a little jumper I made. Cute bow right? I have to get back into designing more often. I have been a little slack lately. But, now that i have a few things lifted off my shoulders, i can reorganise my life a little. So expect more.

I thought you deserved two posts today, as you have been ever so patient with me! Also: I have reached 100 posts!!





HEADING AND PHOTOS BY ME

I was a dreamcatcher.

So we meet again. This is all a bit exciting. I thought it was just going to be like this forever (not actually, I was just saying that for the effect. Possibly too dramatic). Apologies first for not writing this past week. Blame my internet provider for not caring.

How have you all been? So, it's already Tuesday. Wow. I go away very soon! I am very excited about my holiday, it's going to be a fun week. I super excited to get back into writing, snapping and  designing! I hope you are just as excited to be able to check out UNKNOWN PLEASURES again, on a daily basis! Thank you to everyone who has still been checking and reading, it makes coming back that little bit more special, as I know I have a reason. UNKNOWN PLEASURES is now being read in 11 Countries! Please, if you already haven't, follow me on BLOGLOVIN'!

Given my obsession with anything Leopard (still), I HAD TO buy these super cute laces for my combat boots. That and they were a measly $1.00. At first i was thinking but what if i need that dollar, maybe it could come in handy. I could buy...then I realised I couldn't buy much, if anything this cool for a dollar. So a short story even shorter, they're now on my shoes.  And they made my already cool boots, cooler. I didn't think that was even possible. I'm on the hunt for vintage Leopard print. I found a few bits and pieces last Friday, but not exactly what i am after!

Hump day post #2



Another amazingly busy/ hectic week is flying by. Hump day already. I will remember this week as something along the lines of ‘my battle of having no internet.’ I have began to realise how much i rely on technology the past few days. As you guys know, i have been moving. The reason why my posts have been lacking is because of the lack of internet i currently have. I can't spend a day with out some form of technology, be it my phone, internet, television...It has been tough. But, I have still managed to live my life...Only just. So here are some links i have stumbled across lately that i wish to share with you.
  • Ffffound.com Never ceases to entertain me.
  • Chocolate cover for your Ipad. It's chocolate. Meaning i had to post on it.
  • A place to shop for sick jewelery.  I could buy so much here.
  • Another funny site which makes you giggle and think twice.
  • Worst photoshop disasters.  There are some shockers.
  • One of my favourite blogs. Easily one of the best blogs out there for finding cool new fashion. Bleach Black.
  • This girl has a crazy, crazy eye for fashion. She makes the coolest shoes. Definitely check out her blog
  • Fashion inspiration by every day people. I love seeing people trying out new things and having the confidence to do so. That is the key to anything. 
  • Tim Burton exhibition. Exploring the art and imagination of one of Hollywood’s most unique filmmakers. The Tim Burton exhibition will travel directly to ACMI in Melbourne. Running from June 24 to October 10, 2010, the ACMI exhibition will incorporate additional material from Burton's Alice in Wonderland, which was released in March. What did you think of Alice in Wonderland? I loved Hair, make up, and the costume design.. Not so much the story line.
Hope you all have a fun Wednesday. I'm leaving you with and editorial I love. I love her hair.

Heavy cross.


Very sorry about the lack of posts today( as today's is more of a apology, not a fashion post) and yesterday. I am packing up, and arranging the old apartment ready for the move next week! I will be doing an outfit post tomorrow, so don't even fret. Thank you all for reading my blog! Spread the word about UNKNOWN PLEASURES.
