Black and White

Caught a flu over the weekend and it wasn’t much fun.. how gloomy is the weather here? Still, we managed to make the trek to Reverse Garbage in Marrickville to pick up some leather scraps for a DIY project. These guys are a non-profit organisation that recycle and reuse stuff that would otherwise end up in our landfills.. so good! They have the most interesting stuff from mannequins to giant cogwheels to furniture and heaps of craft items that don’t cost an arm and a leg. I only thought I wanted one decent scrap of leather and they were $10 for as much as you can fit in a bag, but I did not want to take any more than I needed so I ended up with a little more than a fistful for $5. I posted a few finds on Instagram, including a giant perspex star I wanted to take home but have no space for. My Instagram username is @absolutelyfuzzy.. whats yours? x

Disassembly

A recent denim-jacket-turned-gilet makes for some easy layering under a thick leather jacket. No sleeves = no bulk = lightbulb moment! (for me anyway); I totally underestimated the versatility of this piece, had I known that I’d be wearing it this much even in Winter I’d have taken the sleeves off years ago!

A dimsum lunch in Chinatown is probably one of my favourite things to do on lazy weekends here, stereotypical or not :) I wore this out on the weekend when it was actually warm enough to flash some skin. The sleek lines of this jacket goes with pretty much everything in my closet, such a good purchase! Hope you’re having a great start to the week :)

It’s been a bit of a crazy week - I’ve been so busy with E3 that I didn’t have time to deal with a database issue I had with the blog last week. It also took a while longer than expected to get it restored, so apologies if you’ve been here and saw no posts! Anyway over here we had Monday off due to the Queen’s Birthday and the long weekend was very much welcome. It was great having a little breather and catching up with some friends, and having some time to play Diablo 3.

Weather’s been pretty uninspiring over here since my last entry, which makes this pretty much the perfect outfit for me to post. I’m probably in danger of over wearing this sweater right now even though I’ve had it for awhile. Seriously this thing is so cozy!

Sydney weather has hit it’s lowest for the year, I think. My heart sinks a little every morning I look outside and the sky is not the brilliant blue I always expect it to be. Even then, the shadows run long and the wind bites. I’m still in a bit of a denial and I’m sure I’ve left part of myself somewhere in the Aegean.. my Winter clothes are still sitting in a box in the basement and I can’t be bothered to get them out. No wonder I’m freezing my ass off! But ironically I find Winter a little less cold each year. Perhaps I’m finally getting used to it, and perhaps it’s finally getting used to me?

It’s only July but I’m already obsessed with the coming (Australian) Summer months - planning, anticipating, day-dreaming.. it feels a little like the void a lover leaves only there’s nothing you can really do about the weather but to wait, or move with it.. and I can’t say I haven’t been tempted to especially when I have so many amazing friends around the world. Some days I wonder if this wanderlust is a curse or a blessing. I can’t seem to get Summer’s promise of sunshine and freedom out of my head..

Next stop - Tasmania. In Winter. Oh dear.
