I'm ba-a-ck

My internet is still slow but I'm going to persevere and try to blog. I won't be able to comment on other blogs much until the 5th of July but I will try and blog daily even with this slow connection.

In other news Melbourne Street Fashion won't be updated today. I'm waiting to hear some possibly exciting news and am holding onto the shots until then. I hope it all works out, if it does one of my blogging dreams will have come true.

In fact the other day one of my blogging dreams did come true, thanks to Imelda Matt. I got my 1st ever freebie. Yay. You may remember Matt's post about the new Dunlop's that are yet to be released at BigW. Well the nice people at Dunlop sent Matt a pair of sparkly pink dunlop volley's from the new collection (he requested pink) in a women's size 10. They were unfortunately a little too small for him, but he remembered from our meeting that I am a size 10 and often swap shoes with my husband. Matt also thought I would like the style so Matt sent me the shoes as a pressie. Yay. Thank you Matt xoxo

As soon as I saw them I thought of the Spank girls. So I decided to wear a Spank style outfit for the photos, no way could I wear this around Melbourne....anymore (I used to dress like this, hence I have the pieces to make the outfit)

My Spank outfit:

• Pink shirt dress, Savers (omg so needs to be ironed) $4.
• Leggings, Kinji Harajuku $6
• Pink legwarmers, I don't remember.
• Pink Dunlop Volley's from Matt. YAY!
• Hair bow, Gift from Spank Girls.
• Red belt, Portmans, $4.
• Giant chain necklace, I made it.
• Love heart necklace, wedding present from Maya (a Spank girl)
• Red and pink scarf, Alba Fan Club (Ksubi's diffusion line) $1.

You can see the Heart says Hayley and Henry...and "Happy Wedding" which is what is fashionable to say when someone gets married in Japan, there are "Happy Wedding" cards, not "congratulations on your wedding" cards, lol. I wore this on my wedding day. Maya the lovely made it for me. I miss you Maya, and all the Spank girls. xoxo.

I won't always wear the shoes like this. It was just for fun. They are so comfy and bright I'm going to wear them to Uni with my comfy black dress just for a bit of a pick me up hint of pink. Thanks again Matt xoxo.


In other shoe news I got the boots I've been dreaming about that were on lay-by at Novo.

I love, love, love them.

This is how I wore them the other day. I look so neo goth 90's.
Outfit details:

• Dress, Femme Connection, $20?
• New studded belt, Target men's section $17
• Leggings as before.
• New boots from Novo $80
• Leather fringed scarf? from Savers for $4
  

I found this crazy leather studded and fringed scarf? belt? thing at Savers in Footscray for only $4. It's my take on the Palestinian scarf.

I am so happy with this studded belt. Only $17 from the men's section at Target. It's so Carrie.


I also went to Supre to try on that floral skirt I previously blogged about.

I thought it looked pretty good, but at $55 it's a bit too much for throw away Supre fashion.

Luckily I found a very similar skirt at Savers Footscray for only $4. What a bargain. It's a little too long (In the photo I'm just holding up the bottom) so I'm going to hem it soon....

Outfit details:

• Heart t-shirt, Comme des Garcon from Aoyoma Tokyo $56.
• Floral skirt, Savers $4.
• Leggings as before.
• Black and white oxfords, I love Billy, $60
• Leather jacket, Henry's.
• Sunglasses, Grooove Melbourne Central $10.
  

Another day another outfit.

The velvet dress is new too, from an Op Shop in St Albans for $3. I need to hem it as it was floor length but I just cut it to wear it immediately, if it doesn't fray I may just leave it though. I'm so lazy.
Outfit details:

• Velvet dress, Op shop $3.
• Belt, thrifted from Camberwell market for $10.
• Leggings as before.
• Shoes as before.
• Wooden necklace, Kinki Gerlinki $28.
• Hat, Henry's.

That's it for now.
