+ i was interviewed for an article about cyclists in launceston a few weeks ago and in today's paper i appeared, squinting at the sun. they misspelled my surname and spent two paragraphs on my appearance and one sentence on my cycling, but it's still fun to have been included. i am about to go to work and am worried everyone will have seen it, haha.


+ today, in my part of the world, it is adeline's birthday and she has invited everyone to dress up and attend her birthday party. adeline is a darling and i am so glad the internet led me to her. happy birthday little french lady!

I have been buying a lot of clothes lately. Something every day this week. A friend asked me a few days ago how many vintage dresses I thought I owned. Without counting, I think that figure is probably somewhere near between 40 - 50. I think that's pretty out of hand, but I feel like I have no self restraint when it comes to vintage clothes. I spent my teenage years wishing I could find clothes I liked and now I feel like I've hit the jackpot. I bought this one yesterday from the sweet ladies at Nanna's. I wish their shop was my own personal wardrobe.




+ So ladylike.

Not a very original or interesting topic for a list today, but it's late and ideas were few. I hope you had as lovely a day as I did :)


+ A new brooch I picked up at the Young & Baroque markets while in Newcastle. Día de los Muertos Barbie head love.
