New Stuff

Saving really sucks doesn’t it? When you are trying to save, that’s when you find all those amazing covetable pieces that you simply cannot live without. You know, your life will literally be a complete waste if you don’t buy those new boots, or that cute as a button backpack. I am going through this phase right now, trying to save for Europe while only working casually, cactus! I am doing pretty well though, as painful as it can be, but I have managed to squeeze in a couple of purchases in the last fortnight so I don’t feel 100% deprived. New Ksubi has entered my wardrobe which will definitely get worn to death, and a new pair of fabulous Nike Free runners, that look just as good worn casually as they do at the gym. Only 50 days to go…

Slam your body down and zigazag ah

When I was younger and the Spice Girls were trending (still are btw) I always wanted to be Sporty Spice. Baby was too cute and fem, Scary was weird and well…scary, Ginger was a ranga which I wasn’t and Posh was just a bore. Sporty was cool in a tough, I don’t give a f*ck, tomboy way and I totally dug that back then. I dressed up as Sporty for all the primary school parties, including my own and also did a really awesome re-enactment dance to ‘Wannabe’ in front of a dodgy blue screen at Timezone on the Gold Coast (which I am totally down to show if anyone wants to see, it was my five mins of fame!).
As the years went by and I went through every different personal style change that a teenager can possibly go through (punk-check, goth-check, skank-check, hippy-check) at 16 I eventually reverted back to my Sporty Spice ways and began rocking sneakers with the healthy gusto of a young girl in love with a badass older boy who also wore sneakers. At 16, I was sold, and quickly started a large collection of kicks that I wore with skinny jeans, short shorts and dresses, I didn’t discriminate, any combo would do.
Fast forward to 2012 and look where we are, captivated by sport luxe fever and casting aside our sole destroying heels in favour of walking on a padded sneaker cloud. While there’s a time and place for all different shoe styles, I always have and always will embrace the sneakers, and while these days when I rock them I sometimes feel like the juvenile 16 year old girl who used to run around town causing an obnoxious ruckus, I still get a little feeling of glee when I pull out an old pair of Airmax 90’s or lace up a brand new pair of Free Runs, because sneakers are the shit! And don’t let no Baby Spice fan tell you otherwise.

Daydreamin’

 Negatives, #firstworld problems
- Studying has taken over and hurts my brain, referencing can eff off
- No exercise because of an injured ankle is sending me bananas
- Social life is non-existent
- Room/bathroom haven’t been cleaned for over a month, ditto with the car, the giant huntsman I was    trapped with on the freeway last week is testament to the fact that when you don’t clean things, the critters settle in and make my home their home
- Lack of cash money
Positives
- Holiday planning is in full swing, excitement is at an all time high!
- Lately, I’ve been sleeping ALOT! not getting up at 5:45am every morning to exercise does have its perks
- Even though studying is cactus and boring, I do think I’m getting smarter, my brain just hasn’t realised it yet so the super intelligent stuff doesn’t come out of my mouth, it’ll happen tho, you just wait…
- Although I’m poor I get to look at pretty clothes all day, try them on when I’m bored and then put them on my account so I can pay for them laters!
- I have a sxc boyfriend that looks after me when I cant walk and am so hung I want to cry. He makes me pasta at 10am, buys me candy for lunch and will watch girl movies like The Help all day long. He also scores me free Yelawolf tix so i can indulge in my obsession with badass tattooed trailer park boys from Alabama. He may have some doozy songs like ‘Made in the USA’ but he is hot and just wants to party. So fuck yeah.
- Nicki Minaj is coming to Aus!! However this could end up in the negatives list when I realise that I cant afford to go east to see her. But for now I will celebrate!
- Internets is the best because I get to speak to ma gurl Ashton whenever I want. Miss my lil indian woman like there’s no tomorrow.
- Happy snaps >>>>
