It's A Photoswap Pt. 1


A month or two ago, armed with my Diana Mini, I participated in Rhianne's Photoswap 2011. My partner was Michelle and she sent me a link to my photos this morning. I sent a roll of film (full of photos) to Michelle in Singapore which she then sent to be developed and she has sent me a roll in return (I can't wait to see them!), which I then get developed.

On most of this roll of film I used the square photo setting on my camera - I had never used it before (I usually opt for the two-shots-per-frame method which results in two skinny photos within one photo). A bunch of these photos were taken on my daily commute to work and/or uni around uni. The yellow and red sculptures are at my uni campus. I have to make a note to myself to stop taking so many pictures with so much god damn blue sky in them! I'm a bit sick of it, ha.

























This week and next I'll be packing and moving to a new place (100m from my current house - Sharni suggested I move my belongings with a shopping trolley and I'm so going to!). There's also a chance that it will take TWENTY WHOLE FREAKING DAYS to get the internet connection moved to the new house, so I apologise in advance for my expected absence.

Worn; Collar and Bows










I am pretty smitten with these Harajuku Lovers shoes, especially since they didn't break the bank (like Vivienne Westwoods do). They arrived today in the very pretty box pictured. I'm not quite sure what my infatuation with rubber shoes is. You've may have noticed that I don't wear pants very often - these are the only jeans I own. I don't think jeans are overly flattering on my body (short legs) and I much prefer dresses anyway. As far as jeans go though, these are pretty nice - thin denim, comfy, high waisted and they don't fade.
