Heavy cross.

Very sorry about the lack of posts today( as today's is more of a apology, not a fashion post) and yesterday. I am packing up, and arranging the old apartment ready for the move next week! I will be doing an outfit post tomorrow, so don't even fret. Thank you all for reading my blog! Spread the word about UNKNOWN PLEASURES.

Ring-a-ring-a-roses, A pocket full of posies.

Feeling rather girlie today. Florals have a way of brightening your day. I think it's because it's so fresh. I bought this ring yesterday... I love coral. I think it's one of the few colours i wear.

Short post as i have a very busy day ahead of me. SORRY!

Have a good day!

Hump day post #1

Okay, so i am trying out a new thing. Every "hump day", i am going to dedicate my blog post to things i find intriguing/ interesting. These posts may or may not be fashion related...But don't yell at me if they're not, because I may have other interesting things that i wish to share with you. So here you have it, my first "hump day" post for you. I hope you enjoy the new Wednesday ritual. PS- Happy hump day.

A strange message found on sidewalks.

The Toynbee tiles are something i find absolutely fascinating. I first became aware of them last year, and ever since i have wanted to do more, and more research. However, it is very hard to find out information, because quite simply there isn't a great deal.

The Toynbee Titles are cryptic messages found embedded in asphalt in various cities across the United States including Washington DC, Pittsburgh, New York City, Baltimore, Boston, and many more. Some have even shown up in South American countries such as Brazil, Argentina, and Chile. To date, about 130 tiles have been discovered. Somehow, someone is managing to embed these tiles into public roads (some of which are busy 24/7). How they did this without being spotted is beyond me. The messages are believed to be layers of linoleum and asphalt crack-filling compound and they are generally about the size of an American license plate. They are applied to concrete via the heat of the sun and the pressure of car tires, which will eventually wear away reveal their message. I find it so mysterious that no one knows the origin of these tiles or the identity of the artist. It's so frustrating, knowing we will never know. The Toynbee tiles are the biggest guerrilla art movement of our time. It's older than Banksy and has remained unsolved for nearly three decades. The Toynbee Tiles mystery thrives on its own, inspiring speculation and interpretation to this day. And who knows...This may have been the artist's intention. I don't think anyone is ever going to get to the bottom of it.

 I hope the strangeness of this made your day more interesting.

I'm counting backwards in your head.

My new shoes arrived today! I was so shocked that they only took 3 days from the United States, considering whenever friends or family send something from New South Wales to Queensland it can take up to a week and a half. I love them. Outfit posts are to come! I didn't get home til late and didn't have enough natural lighting to shoot with.

A funny story comes with the delivery on these little wedges as well. I wasn't home when the delivery man came to my apartment. I live in a large complex, and the ladies and men who work on reception are never helpful. They wouldn't let him leave my package with them, nor would they let him leave a "We visited when you were not at home" slip in my mail box. So the poor delivery man came and found me at work! Such a kind man. I thanked him profusely! He must've known how important a girl shoe addiction is!
