I basically died of boredom waiting for something to happen today and this is my ghost blogging my outfit. Pretty much a standard rainy day outfit in the life of me – a dress, kicks, stockings, men’s hooded jacket (possibly the best item of clothing invented) and lest we forget, rainy day hair. Taken at all times of the day thanks to photobooth. Bored, but I was warm and dry and mostly happy. Also, I was invited to the Circus by said circus. Booyah.
General Pants were at Fashion Palette, hosting a little workshop at their stand, where people received free Converse Chuck Taylor shoes and Levis jeans to customise with studs as they please. Each person was given 15 minutes but studding by hand takes far longer and tonight I finished my pair. Believe it or not, these are my first Converses. I fucking love them. I’d been wanting to get some and stud them for ages so I’m incredibly pleased that I got the chance to. I’m going to add more studs, maybe some smaller ones in a few weeks once I tire of them being like this. Here are photos from both Sydney and of my attempt.
Not mine ^

I just used a bunch of big silver studs, a flat-nose jewellery plier and my late-night perfectionist tendencies. You do not know what thumb pain is until you a) break your thumb and/or b) stud canvas by hand. I’ve done both. Bike riding and stud symmetry are well worth it.
I love magazines! I also love parties! Woo! (This cold is making me ever so slightly delirious.) Anyways Melbourne, I found out two dope magazines about tees and sneakers are having new issue launch parties in the near future, T-World and Sneaker Freaker.

So hopefully I shall be at both. But maybe not Sneaker Freaker (Oh noes! I missed their amazing issue 10 launch parties all over the world and I cried) because I might go to Sydney next week. Also, oh yeah it’s my birthday next Sunday. Twenty threeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee.
P.S. Wow brandy + honey really works for colds. And various other ailments.
Sneaker porn. These are what I wore today. Some colours were just meant to be together. They can be my daily delicious.
