Bicycles

I would absolutely love a vintage bike with a basket on the front. A pink bicycle would be cool too. My Grandma has vintage bicycles I love to ride when I visit her almost every year for Christmas.

During New York Fashion Week 2011 

 Okay, seriously, I would love this bicycle. I wouldn't ride it wearing a Maxi dress or heels though. Maybe wedges and a floral dress, or jeans and a blue and white striped shirt (if I am biking in Paris). I wish.

 I think I have biked on a beach before, and it was rather difficult.

This would be a really cool birthday or Christmas present. I don't see any pedals on it though, so I don't know if it will work properly. 

This tandem bicycle is pretty damn cool. Would be a cool wedding gift, maybe?

Camera, ruby slippers, heels, Leaning Tower of Pisa 

 Diana Mini camera - I'd probably use this camera everyday if I owned it, the colour and images on the front are cute, and I like the big flash.
 Imagine wearing the original pair of ruby slippers from The Wizard of Oz that Judy Garland wore. I'd feel like I'm in a dream
I think most heels go really well with denim jeans, whether it be boot leg jeans, skinny jeans, or even cut off denim shorts. They go well with black, dark blue and light blue denim, and sometimes even yellow, red and turquoise. Jeans and heels are a great combination and suitable if you are going to dinner with friends, to a bar, a birthday party, or even shopping if you can handle walking in heels for hours on end.
Italy is on the top of my list of places to go in the world. I'd love to go to Venice, Milan, Rome and most other places, go to all the beaches, boutique stores and see famous landmarks including the Leaning Tower of Pisa in the Tuscany region.

Rain rain go away come again another ..... no no I'm just kidding. Stay rain, stay.

New Zealand's summer begins December 1st and yesterday (a few days into summer) it was raining ALL day. It wasn't too cold though. But I must admit, I love it when it rains. Except when I'm wearing a pale top with heels on and running to a job interview. Not cool. Or if I have lots of books or papers in my bag and the bag ISN'T waterproof. OR, when it's windy AND raining at the same time because my umbrella just tends to blow inside out.

Do you like it when it rains?

Today there is no wind, it's hot and a little humid. Auckland weather is so random. Sometimes it is sunny with blue sky and it'll just rain, out of the blue, then get windy, then go sunny again, then start spitting, then sun, then no wind with blue skies and it goes humid. That doesn't happen often but I do remember it happening a few times. Oh, and I do remember a time when it was spitting, and windy AND humid. So my skirt was blowing up, I was really hot because I had a sweater and tights on (as it's windy and raining so you'd think it'd be cold), and my umbrella was about to blow inside out so I put it down. Sigh.

I wouldn't mind if my skirt blew up if I was wearing Marilyn Monroe's The Seven Year Itch dress and standing over a drain. That's the only time it can look sexy and well, classy. That probably isn't the right word but pretend it is.
I guess it can still look sexy if you aren't standing over a drain, but I think you need to stay in the same place or walk slowly don't run or walk fast.



I would love to kiss someone in the rain. How romantic.

I would've loved to dance and sing in the rain with Donald O'Connor, Debbie Reynolds and Gene Kelly. 




I always like walking in the rain, so no one can see me crying. (Charles Chaplin)

Alice in Wonderland

I love when Alice lays on the grass, singing about living in an imaginary world of her own. It inspires me to dream more.

After she falls down the rabbit hole she drink out of a small container making her shrink, then she eats something, making her a giant. All while talking to a door handle. 

 The tea party with the Mad Hatter and March Hare

  Alice drinks tea out of a a cup cut in half, then the rabbit comes with his clock which is two days slow and the March hare destroys it.

 Alice asks for advice from the Cheshire Cat who randomly appears sitting in trees, and he opens the trunk of a tree which leads Alice to a maze and she ends up meeting the evil Queen of Hearts.

Then, Alice wakes up from her dream about an imaginary world. And the whole time her adorable cat, Dina, was sleeping on her lap.

'Polaroid is Dead' exhibition

Some songs I'm loving right now.....


Kimbra is from New Zealand, but now lives in Australia. I love all her songs, she sounds great live, and her music videos are really creative. I must get her album.


I know this video is like an episode of Skins. It seems like it's promoting drug use and illegal actions. But I really like the song, it's a great dance song.


This song sometimes makes me cry. I love it. It's going to be on The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn Part 1


What are your favourite songs at the moment? Or of all time?

Blake Lively for Glamour Magazine July 2011


Blake Lively (who stars in Gossip Girl, The Town and Green Lantern) looks beautiful in this Glamour magazine editorial. I love the black and white shots and the pink top.
