Just a really short one tonight, because it's The Sophisticate's birthday and I don't want to be antisocial.

It was really cold in Melbourne today - after a record 123 days of over 20 degree days - and I was freezing in this new stripy top from Dorothy Perkins. I actually bought it for layering, but foolishly thought I'd be warm enough without a second layer today (I was wrong!)

I'm actually on the hunt for a good looking pair of narrow-leg black pants, because these bootleg trousers are feeling a bit voluminous. Stay tuned...

Spent another day in drenching rain, which always makes carstock a bit of a downer.

I'm looking down the barrel of a few weeks well-deserved holiday though with tomorrow my last day, so I've got a smile on my face.

I'm so insanely tempted to buy another pair of these shoes, I love them that much, but I'm wondering if that would be a GOOD purchase (i.e. I have a back-up pair when these Go-To-God) or BAD (irresponsible spending when you already have an identical pair).

Also, shh, don't tell anyone but I'm spending the evening in JEANS on account of being invited to a student film festival by The Sophistcate and wanting to look more like a Hip Young Thing than I ever manage to pull off in dresses and cardigans. Don't judge me if you see me ;)
