daniel - bat for lashes

I've recently discovered that I could spend hours at a time reading people's blogs - whether for the pretty pictures, wonderful writing, or just the plain good fashion sense.

When I first started discovering the fashion blogs that so many people do, I though well I may as well try that, but previously this blog has only been whingeing about my not so terrible life.

I would like to report that I am healthy, have never had surgery, no diseases, my family is quite middle-class, albeit divorced parents, and I have never experienced any particularly unfortunate events in my life. So yes, nothing is all that bad - although I am the first to admit to a fairly melodramatic mother, a slightly neurotic group of friends, extended family prone to over-exaggeration, and a recovered alcoholic uncle. But is that really news for a middle-class Australian family? I think not boys and girls, I think not.

I'm going to Uni this year (next week is O-week), I have friends who are going to the same Uni as me, which means we can car pool, and maybe I'll do half my degree and decide to go travelling and defer, or maybe I'll do one year and transfer into something that better suits me, but nothing is all that complicated, and I'm just going to go with the flow. And although it's fairly hot today, we're expecting thunderstorms tomorrow, and a cool change, which will suit me perfectly and I'll probably perk up even more. I swear I get seasonal depression in summer.

And I'm going to get a new job and save, save, save!, for a proper camera, as I love taking photos, but I've only had average digital cameras up til now. And besides, I'm going to follow my dream of having a fashion blog! Haha!

Anyway, the point of this was not to advertise my amazing life (ha, what a joke, it's actually pretty boring and normal), but to say that I'm going to reinvent this a bit, and vaguely start a-new. And also to advertise the amazing fashion blogs that have been taking up a great deal of my life at the moment (I've had nothing else to do, don't blame me for looking at pretty clothes all day long!)

Le Blog de Betty - This one because she's actually my idol and inspiration and I kinda just want her hair. And her wardrobe obviously, but just mainly her hair. I also think she looks a bit like Natasha Khan. Maybe?

The cherry blossom girl - Likewise on the hair front. I have MAJOR hair envy for both of these girls. I don't know, I just have this thing about pretty brown, fringed hair.

WishWishWish - Also hair envy, but mainly fashion envy. I love her cute slightly school-girl type look going on. I must admit, my own style is more edgy, but this girl reminds me of Blair Waldorf, who I've often been told I look like.

Cachemire & Soie - This one because there are such pretty pictures!

Ok that's pretty much my rant for the day, I'll try to find a workable camera and start putting some photos up. That's all for today! x
