peach, red, dots, updos and a sunday

I have this idea in my had that pops up fairly often. A way to explain the windy-ness of Melbourne to people who don't live here. Basically it involves doing your hair, and then pointing your hair dryer straight at it. Turn it up to full blast. Maybe turn your head up side down and do your best mosh moves. That, I think, would be a fair idea of what it's like here. It's almost always windy, or very windy!

And then of course you add a car drive, 60km/hour, with the window down... you get the idea!

Anyway, this is my rather long introduction to my Sunday, when we met up with a couple of friends for a few drinks at Preston's Raccoon Bar. I had a casual vintage inspired up do – post-blast, here, but it held up pretty well. I wore my early 1960s cafe print dress, my vintage soap bubble cardigan (it's sooooo soft) (oh this reminds me, I need to darn a little moth nibble on it) and my orange Gorman polka dot shoes. My sunglasses are by Asos and I love them, but I'm ready to retire my bag, also by Asos. I will replace it with something in beautiful soft leather, something that will last me for years, is big enough to hold my camera without being a suitcase, is amazing. The search begins... I think it could be a long one! But one I think I might just enjoy doing, of course.

And yes, I am ridiculously pleased with my nails. I think my freehanding is coming along quite nicely! Tell me: are you into fancy nails at the moment? I mean with more than one colour. And what about the 3D art stuff? I'm curious!
