Ensembles, New Additions and General Happenings Around the Fairy Grotto

So going off what I said yesterday I tried to put a bit of effort into my outfit today, tossing on what is currently probably my favourite wardrobe pieces; plus I did my make up!

Nothing you guys haven't seen before but I am so in love with this skirt and the new Black Milk XL sizing is so comfortable I never want to take these Chopin leggings off.

 

Leggings and Skirt - Black Milk Clothing

Jacket - Saxony (Ebay)

Tee - Black Victory

Boots - Big W

Speaking of comfortable BM leggings...Oops I slipped ;)

I can't wait for these, ever since they were sneak peeked a few months ago I've been dying to get them on my legs.

 

 Also, new ASOS order arrived today; a first from them for me.

It was a leather skirt which I got on sale for a bargain of less than 60 bucks. But yeah, it is real leather so vegans/vegos should note that in case they wanted to buy their own. They do have plenty of varieties of veggie-friendly, faux-leather options however.

Sorry about the constant crappines of my photos but my computer can't handle having any more photos on it and my SLR ones are huge files plus the light in my house is complete shit.



In other news my ability to read for long periods of time seems to be returning (who knew that anaesthetic had such a bad reaction 0.o) So I've started this book ...again, hoping this time I can get through it. I normally don't read that much modern stuff however I for some reason was put on to a series by the same other by a friend and hoped this would be as attention-grabbing. So far it's a bit so-so but I do believe it's getting better!



Moving on, I just found a cute little reference to me in this lovely blog that I'm probably the last to discover :P It's called Dark Side of the Net and the post mentioning me and my little place on the interwebs is here. Thank you kind stranger for the mention and for reading! ^_^


Also, check out the awesome breakfast Mum and I had on Sunday ^_^ nom nom

Anyway I think that's probably all for tonight. Please check out my last post on a possible outfit challenge, more participants equals more fun!

P.s. Readers do my pictures appear blurry to you? I'm not sure what's going on but for some reason even though I know the pics aren't blurry they show up as such on my blog. If you open them in their own window/tab they come into focus though; it's really weird and frankly it's pissing me off! Anyone got any advice/comments?

P.p.s. I'm approaching 200 posts, do people usually do something special for these kind of milestones?

Edit: Until I can figure out why stupid blogger makes all my photos blurry when they're resized I've had to make them smaller but if you click on them and open them in a new window they appear much larger and clear. Again if any one knows why this happens I'd love to hear from you either by comment or you can email me at sydneysomething@hotmail.com
Thanks

From Meh to Marvelous; Help Me Put Some Spark Back in My Outfits!

So lately I've been feeling rather bleh with life, I guess it's been the down after all the excitement (not in a good way) of having an operation. The last few weeks I've been stuck inside the house, unable to drive anywhere going completely stir-crazy. I'm lucky that I have a few lovely friends that have come to visit me to help me pass the time but I want to be able to find a reason to get out of bed in the morning (the actual morning and not 11:30am or later) with a spring in my step (but not too much lest I hurt myself hehe).

So I was thinking a method that always makes me feel better, as shallow as it may seem, is taking pride in my appearance. I thought if I have an excuse to get up early, actually style an outfit rather than chucking on any old thing that's sitting on the top of my pile of clothes and putting on my face then I might feel a wee bit better and like I'm actually regaining some purpose to my life.

I thought if anyone expresses interest we could do some sort of themed outfit challenge type thing over the course of the week e.g. Monday Grey-scale, Tuesday Anatomical etc. etc., (we can decide that later through a poll perhaps?) And yeah, every one who is interested takes part even if it's in a small way because you have restrictions or something (like work uniform or some such) and then share your addition on your blog and lemme know if you do and Maybe I could feature a few pics of my favs of the day and have links to everyone that wants to have a go.

The only thing I can see going wrong is that sometimes my internet is temperamental (or my father is temperamental and won't let me go on because he's a crazy control freak) and I may be delayed a day or so in posting that day's challenge. So to combat this, we could just deal with this issue if it arises as it comes or we could do some sort of round up in the following week.

So lemme know what y'all think, yeah?

That's all for now,

Over and Out!
