Wednesday Wants

Pointed buckle creepers from TUK.

I can't seem to find these in Australia. They are available on the Hot Topic website in America, but Hot Topic/Torrid are HORRIBLE regarding ordering and shipping to Australia.

Meagan at Coffin Kitsch bought a pair. She always looks cute.

Lacy Audrey dress from City Chic: $179.95

Who the HELL is crazy enough to pay $179.95 for a dress?! Another reason why I wait for sales at City Chic.

Much more affordable Freddy Dress from Hell Bunny.

I want to get lots of summer dresses so I can be cute and cool this summer.

Swimming Like a Mermaid

Yesterday I went swimming with Kylie. I got this really cute swimsuit from Swimsuits For All. It fits perfectly and it looks really good! The only thing I didn't like was the removable straps, I actually sewed them down.

 

I wore a swimcap to protect my hair. I have a new shrunken head tote bag (from Dangerfield) and my Little Mermaid towel.

I finally got a new laptop and set up a broadband service. My old laptop is really, really crap. It's slow and overheats so I have to aim a fan at it (yes, even now in Winter).
My internet connect was really crap before, I had a wireless dongle which should have worked in my area by didn't. Now I have a naked modem connection. It will be great to have an internet connection that doesn't drop out every minute.

Does this mean I'll be updating more? I hope so! My new laptop/internet means that I'll be able to upload stuff at home (I used to do it at work, sneaky).

Cats @ The Regal Theatre

A little while ago I went to see the theatre production Cats at the Regal Theatre. I went by myself and got a great seat in the middle, six rows from the front.
It's always been a dream of mine to see Cats. I taped it off of TV when I was young, and watched it over and over. Sadly, I came from such a poor family that it was impossible for us to go to the theatre. Especially to see something as great as Cats.
Now, I'm a independent woman with my own money so I can spend it where I want!

Cats was everything I wanted it to be. The costumes were lovely, in a 1940s style. The music was wonderful! It was such a dream come true that I might of been fighting tears at the start ;)

The Regal Theatre is in Subiaco, the suburb where I grew up. It used to be a great place, filled with lots of art. It has really gone downhill in the last few years. When I was a kid, there were two great markets next to the railway station, and now there is only a fruit market :(
I hate when markets close!

 

Jacket: Lady Bryant (gifted from Franny)

Shirt: Ebay purchase

Skirt: Evans

 

Lovely brooch that I got from Leicester, UK while I was there in 2010. 

I'm still wearing my walking boot. It's actually falling apart because I walk too much. I hope that I'll get it off next week when I visit the hospital.

MoMA and Egypt Exhibit

This weekend was a busy one!

On Saturday, I took my dad to the art gallery to see the new MoMA exhibit. It was a treat for his birthday.

Junee and Monte Cristo

It's been a week since I went to Wagga Wagga to go to Charles Sturt University. My laptop computer and internet connection at home is THE WORST! I'm trying to fix my internet and get a new computer, because I'm getting really annoyed not being able to upload anything. I'm writing this at work (naughty, naughty).

Anyway, I visited Wagga Wagga to attend CSU resident school for my Bachelor of Information Studies course. This was basically a compulsory unit that introduces you to the university, and you get to meet fellow students. I'm doing this course part-time by distance education, that means all of my studies will be online.

I flew from Perth to Sydney, and then took a train from Sydney to Junee where Monte Cristo is located. I've always wanted to visit Monte Cristo, ever since I was young. It's reputed to be the most haunted house in Australia. I didn't see any ghosts, but it is a very beautiful house.

Here is the pretty sunrise this morning, as I was walking to the train station. Click on the photo for a bigger picture!
