I got those gladiator sandals I wanted. I haven't had a chance to wear them because the weather here has been confused and still thinks it's Winter. Where is the Autumn sun at, hmm?
So anyway this is what I wore today to course. I got quite alot of compliments on my skirt, which is handmade that I got for $45 at a small hippie store on my roadtrip that I just went on with my boyfriend. I will probably write about that on posts to come becase I took beautiful photo's. The skirt wasn't made to be high-waisted but I live by my own rules.
That's my sister's cat, Guinness. He is hilarious. He looks like the cats in my header, but less... rainbow.
So as I mentioned I just went on a roadtrip with my boyfriend. Yes, I expect you to be jealous. We - or I should say, he - drove all over the South Island of New Zealand for 9 days. I have lived here all my life and never knew how beautiful this country is. I was in complete awe constantly and I made sure I always had my camera in hand, I was very snap happy indeed. We went on many adventures... including a trip to hospital for me, which was the scariest night of my life! I dragged Perie around shopping everyday because I had saved so much money I had to do something with it all and invest in something; so naturally I chose clothes. I brought that skirt in the above photo's, and a cute hat, and a brown leather jacket I got for $90 that I'm absolutely in love with. I also got so much jewellery, including friendship bracelets I brought for $10 for 4 at a small market. I'm going to make friendship bracelets cool again. Photo's of them later, because I can't remove them from my wrist.
Can you see the bruise on my face? We were staying at his mothers house on our roadtrip and I smacked my head on the top bunk of the bed as I was getting into the bottom one. It was pitch black, gave me the biggest fright of my life and I had to walk around with half a black face for two weeks :(
I look retarded. That's perfectly fine.
These mountains are called The Remarkables. You're not going to make me explain why, are you?
I nearly went bunjy jumping but when we got there it was shut (secretly, I was thankful for that). Maybe next time! We mostly stayed with family we have scattered around the country, but we did spend a night in his truck. We parked up by a beach and woke to the loveliest sunrise I've ever seen. It was rustic romance at it's best.
On another note, I have been thinking about getting a single dread in my hair. Something thin and delicate, with a bead on the end. I understand this would make most of you absolutely cringe but I am a hippie at heart and I think it would look cute.
Tonight I'm going to see Pineapple Express with Perie (that's the boyfriend). I'm insisting on wearing my leather jacket that instantly makes me much cooler than him.
All photo's taken by me.
