gifts and thrifts

Some recently acquired pretty things. Some are Christmas gifts, some are not. Mostly not. The clothes (frilly shift dress, polka dot shirt, white full maxi skirt) and belt are recent op-shop finds. The Sportsgirl clogs were a gift from mum, and the suitcase was a gift from my aunty which I just happened to receive on Christmas Eve (but not necessarily a Christmas present). Anyway, I hope you all had lovely Christmases. I spent the majority of mine in a food coma. Which is why I’ll be hitting the gym shortly, trying to work off that Christmas belly. Even though all I want to do in this rainy weather is eat Christmas leftovers, watch Twin Peaks (I just started on season one), and scribble in my new Pac-Man Moleskine. What a way to be spending the silly season! haha.

    Your suitcase is lovely, what a great color! I recently started watching Twin Peaks too, its awesomely cheesy but also has a lot of great style inspiration.

    Yayy great presents!
    Christmas sounds wonderful, I have been in a constant food coma, and have also drank alcohol like 5 days straight, not good!!

    Pacman moleskine is rad!!

    @Vivienne: I don't think I would have bought them either if I didn't tell mum that's what I wanted for xmas! haha. Glad they're in my possession now though.

    @ching: Yep, I changed it – just flipped things around a bit though, nothing too drastic.

    @Hillary: there's some great style inspiration, but there's also some mighty bad haircuts! haha

    @Megan: I've only worn them around the house so far, can't wait to wear them out!

    @Amie: haha, I think I'll stop at two or three suitcases. Any more and I'll look like a hoarder.

    @VintageLover: yayayay I found something for you too (eventually – trust that when I'm looking for stripes all I'll come across is polka dots!).

    @Jes: ahhh that would be creepy!

    @rebecca: and it comes with pacman stickers!!! even better!

    @JessesKids: thanks for the kind words. I'll definitely stop by and have a look at yours.

    @Abby: all this excess lately is why I dragged myself to the gym – trying to minimise the damage between Xmas and New Years! haha
