Love + Marriage

Uni has been nuts this week. I have assignments due left, right and centre. It's good though, keeping busy is good. I also had work today before class at 2pm which was stressful bcoz the boss was stressed.....haha. So to come home from all that nuts-ness and read my fav blogs, have a mocha and watch a couple episodes of friends is just bliss :)
And I came across these beautiful pics of Kate Moss's wedding.
They make me want to get married.

the pictures come from Vogue

so magical

Snow!!!

So, today it snowed. This is very odd for where I live because it pretty much never snows. It was weirdly sunny with blue skies all day then round 3pm it clouded over and the sky opened up (over me and you...) and down came snow! And not even a small amount, I'm talking lots. It was so exciting. The flatties and I took a trip up the saddle road to get amongst it and wow. what a view. It was spectacular. Whiteness literally covered all the mountains etc. Then as we headed back to the city, it started snowing so that when we got home, my car and our front and back yards were completely white. Oh so cool.
I have some pics of the winter wonderland.....

It didn't look like much as we headed up the saddle road...

But once we got there there was no green in sight!

Jaclyn enjoying it :)

Both of us enjoying it...

Our backyard went from this...

...to this!!

front yard

notice how covered my car is!

It was awesome :) Hopefully tomorrow everything will be covered!

Oh also, I am Giant on Friday night were pretty awesome! The Royal was super hot and sweaty though, so much so that the walls and ceiling were dripping with condensation! ew. I came away with the sweat of like 50 diff people on me. yukyukyuk. And some guys made a mosh pit right in front of the stage (where we had been standing) so we had to move coz we were getting pushed, stepped on, sweated on and fallen on. Buuuut other than that.....the band was really good! I would definitely recommend seeing them live. And Shelton Woolright, the semi-famous drummer, was small! haha and so skinny! Weird.

Also, this post counts as Much love Monday because I loved the snow :)

Excite!!

Heading to I am Giant tonight and suuuuuuuuper excited for it! This is an awesome upcoming NZ band whose music is excellent. Then heading to a dubstep night afterwards at our fav nightclub which should be gud! I'm excited all round. Getting ready for it now (painting nails, straightening hair, deciding on outfit...etc)
Here is my favourite I am Giant song:

YAY :)

Etsy love

Whilst perusing Etsy this morning, I came across a few things I would love to own. For those of you who don't know, Etsy is an online store where anyone can sell handmade wares. It's amazing to look through the stores, some people are so talented! Here are some things I wish for...

Deathly Hallows ring (!) from this store

Set of 3 vintage prints from this store

Atlas envelopes from this store

Teacup necklace from this store

Cute collared dress from this store

Wooden bookmarks from this store

Leather satchel from this store

It's awesome how many beautiful things you can buy right here in NZ! (these are all NZ stores)

Much love Monday :)

After reading this blog and this blog, I've decided to follow suit and do a regular 'Much love Monday' section which will showcase things that I currently love. This may involve images, people, songs, lists...just whatever I love on that particular Monday.
Today was a great day, for some reason I was super cheery all day and you know what? It's fun! Despite the weather being cold and despite the showers being out of order at the gym and having to drive home all sweaty and yuk and despite the fact that I am being inundated with uni work, I was super happy! Like not my usual happy, mega happy. I wonder why.
Anyho....the things that I am loving on this particular Monday (8/8/2011) are...

• Watching Friends in the warm, comfy lounge with two awesome flatties (ily x)
• My Onesie
• Winter comfort food....soup with crusty rolls and roasts
• My eccentric, not afraid to be 'geeky' uni friends
• The fact that people I know but don't really know say hi to me at uni
• The haircut of the guy in my WWII paper. It's awesome, shaved one one side then sorta long with a sweet  fringe on the other side (think skrillex but short). It totes suits him and his style.
• The postcard I got from my sister today :)
• That the awesome All Black's totally annihilated the Wallabies. We rock.

And some pictures I love....

Beautiful. I love.

Good 'ol kiwi humour

The uni week has come to an end, yay! This weekend will be spent doing assignments no doubt, though on Saturday night the All Blacks are playing Australia so I'll defs be watching that. Because the world cup is here soon, the All Blacks have been doing lots of advertising to hype up the country. So I was searching on YouTube and found this 'Room Raiders' clip, done by Piri Weepu and showcasing one of my favourites, Cory Jane (both of whom I met earlier this year).

It's hilarious. I absolutely love the kiwi humour in it and how totally normal and crack up they are.

Make sure you watch the whole thing :)

Girl crush

Herro. Uni was pretty cool today, as it was short and relatively painfree. I'm healing up which is a relief and Ooooooooooh ooooh the flatties, some classmates and I are heading to Harry Potter 7.2 tonight! Uber excited! For one of my friends who is coming with us, it'll be her 3rd time seeing it. Yep, she's a HP nut.

But anyways....Zooey Deschanel is my girl crush. She is beautiful, talented and stylish. I love her effortless vintage syle and ever-present cuteness. Oh, and she's in a band too! How cool. I also love how she stays out of the limelight and how I've never heard any gossip about her.
Bet she's awesome to go antiquing/op-shopping with :)
I would love to be this girl.











      

                     

Ain't she gorgeous? She has that innocent feminine beauty about her. Oooh and I really like how her name is spelt - Zooey rather than the usual Zoe :) lol
