music + hipster rules
Every now and then I like to take stock of the stuff I'm listening to. After spending my pre-iPod years feverishly taping the Top40 off my local FM station (with actual tapes, no less, which seems so frightfully quaint now that I think about it; am I the last generation to tape stuff off the radio?), I now source my music largely from blogs, gossip ( Read more... ) -
twilight movie reaction post.
lolwhut
overall, that kind of sums it up.
first, the qualms:- movie sucks if you haven't read the book. actually, it also massively drove home to me the central problem with the book - which was, of course: why the fuck are they in love? it felt like their relationship went a mile a minute. girl hadn't even kissed princess frostylips over there before ( Read more... )

love post.
in honour of the summer that is finally here, after weeks of fretful anticipation... i present a love post. these are the little things that make my life worth living, the cheap thrills and comfort foods, the frivolities and mindless distractions that capture my fleeting fancy and feed my imagination...
Things I Love, in no particular order:- Target ( Read more... )

look at this gq motherfucker
Okay so I kind of knew Ewan McGregor was a tasty slice of fried Scottish man candy, but I had no idea exactly how tasty until this month's Japanese GQ.
Yes, he is fully clothed.
Yes, he is in old-timey suits and, at one point, a skivvy.
Yes, he is indeed old enough to be my dad.
It is a testament to his intense sexual magnetism that I still want to ( Read more... ) -
fit for summer
Right now I'm feeling bloated and gross.
I'm coming to the end of my ~woman's troubles and seriously cannot wait until that thick, full feeling goes away from my stomach!
Also, I've been eating a lot more sweets as well, so that's not helping at all.
Anyway, my goal (which has been in effect for some time) is to try and get down to a size 10, but ( Read more... ) -
soul
It's something that's been a part of my life since birth, due to my parents' undying love for it, and almost purely through osmosis I guess it's become my favourite genre of music: soul.
Sometimes I think it's kind of strange that a 19 year old white girl from Australia feels like she identifies with the gospel-infused soundtrack to black life in ( Read more... ) -

IT'S 33 FRICKING DEGREES OUTSIDE.
AND I'M ABOUT TO GO TO THE BEACH.
YEAH BABY.
THIS WILL BE ME IN APPROXIMATELY THIRTY MINUTES (ryan mcginley):

an epiphany and a manifesto.
Hokay so... I'm like bumming around the interwebz tonight and what do I discover? That three of my favourite bands from about two years ago (Franz Ferdinand, Kaiser Chiefs and Bloc Party) all have new albums either out or imminent.
Why wasn't I informed?
Clearly, my musical radar has been somewhat off lately owing to the fact I fell (albeit briefly ( Read more... ) -
Fashion, Smashion
Here's a secret: I love fashion. I love reading about it, I love talking about it, I love creating it.
So it's no surprise that right now is one of my favourite times of year: New York Fashion Week.
In a couple of days (once I've finished my amazingly huge pile of assignments) I'm going to do a picspam roundup of my favourite looks of the season and ( Read more... ) -
Music, as promised
Without further ado, here is my Spring/Summer Mix - which I have thoughtfully titled "Warm Breeze from the East" because I think it kind of captures that.
NB: I used Mixwit.com to make this mixtape.
The songs featured are, in order of appearance:
1. Electric Feel - MGMT: my favourite song of the year so far
2. Young Folks - Peter, Bjorn & John: maybe ( Read more... )
