Look of the Day!

another thought

Just some words springing to mind on a summer drive to somewhere more important than the most beautiful feeling...

oh,

and i saw a butterfly for just a while.

she was free and flighting as we sat,

trapped inside plans already set in a motion towards town.

our wheels spun and we listened to some summer liquid gold.

i couldn't help feeling like i wanted to be somewhere else,

closer to that feeling inside the song.

but i loved the moment.

Hope you like them.

A quick hello.

Hope you’ve all got you’re Christmas shopping done and dusted because tomorrow is Christmas Eve!

I’m so happy that today is my last day at work but my day kinda started off miserably. I made myself a scrumptious sandwich and packed a piece of the most delicious cheesecake for lunch. Before my colleague picked me up I quickly shot off to the shop to get some airtime and when I got back home my key wouldn’t work in our gate.

What. The. Hell.

As hard as I tried the key, pleaded with the gate and grumbled in exasperation the key and the gate were not friends this morning. So, as a result, I’m lunchless. This is a big deal for someone like me – I’m the grumpiest person alive on an empty stomach.

It’s going to be a long day. *Sighs*

How’s your day going though?

Ps, just in case he’s reading, I’d love it if the lovely drummer boy would surprise me with a beautifully setup lunch spot like the one in the photo.

THAT would be romantic…

Found the pic here. 

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

Wishing everyone a Fashion X-mas and a Fantastic New Year!

A big thank you to all my readers for helping my blog and for the support on this year.  

                                                                                                                               

Three more days til Christmas

Last night the Marja and I went for a walk along the beach. It was great to be out in the fresh air after sitting at a desk for over seven hours.

Everyone on the beach seemed to be in a good mood which was really refreshing. We stopped off at a few shops on the way home and picked up some small add-on presents and then we went home to wrap!

I always find that presents look so much more interesting and intriguing when they’re wrapped. The decorative paper and perfectly placed celotape is one of my favourite things about Christmas or birthdays – I just love getting gifts that are a complete surprise.

After bundling a few things into their respective wrappings the Marja and realised we still have so much shopping to do and loads more wrapping! The idea exhausted us so we decided to chill out and watch The Big Bang Theory (I absolutely LOVE Sheldon).

So now, when I get home from work I’m probably going to have to submerge myself in sticky-tape, gifts and reindeer bedecked paper.

I’m tempted to ask you all what you’re getting your loved ones for Christmas but don’t want you to ruin the surprise so mum’s the word.

Just one thing – I know puppies and kittens are cute, and can potentially be the perfect gift of all to give a friend, child or partner but please think really hard before you decide to buy a little dog or cat for someone else. Taking care of an animal is a huge responsibility and if the receiver isn’t really ready to look after a new “Snowy” or “Patches” they may end up on the street. Every year after the 25^th of December thousands of small animals are abandoned because they can’t be looked after properly which is the saddest thought ever. If you do want to buy a pet as a gift rather tell the person beforehand to see if they’re ready for it. You might even have a great time going along with that person to choose the kitten or puppy.

Otherwise please have the most amazing Christmas. I know I’m looking forward to the scrumptious dinners and lunches and leftovers.

My stomach is already growling to the tune of “We Wish You a Merry Christmas” (if that’s even possible).

What's your favourite thing about Christmas?

Much love, Red Noses and Snow-flakes,

The Weekend That Was

Woah. Last Sunday I got a scratch in my throat. On Monday morning I felt groggy and by the afternoon I felt like my brain was a marshmallow. Yes kids, I was sick. I paid my Doc a little visit on Tuesday (the lovely drummer came with me for moral support – I’m petrified of hospitals/mediclinics/dentists…) and was booked off for the whole week.

I felt like absolute dog poo.

I spent the entire week horizontal and by Friday was still not better. So, this weekend I…

+ Was sick, very very sick.

+ Was in a photo shoot with the lovely Wal.

+ Slept a lot.

+ Was alone (the lovely drummer was on a coastal tour and my Marja was super busy).

+ Tried to go Christmas shopping but ended up buying nothing.

+ Couldn’t eat.

+ Saw my beautiful friend RaRa for a bit.

+ Felt uber sorry for myself.

+ Coughed and blew my nose for what seemed like forever.

+ Went to a Sunday Christmas lunch at the Clovelly Golf Club

You’ll be happy to know that I’m almost better, just trying to get rid of this menacing-sounding cough. Hooray!

What did you do this weekend?

I found this image here, how cute is it? 

Dress to Impress, him or her?

Coco Chanel once said, “A fashion that does not reach the streets is not a fashion.” We Fein girls couldn’t agree more, but recent trends like Harem pants, boyfriend jeans, overalls, & clogs have flooded the streets of New York, and men couldn’t be any less appalled.

Twenty-one year old Leandra Medine, creator of blog, The Man Repeller, has captured the attention of the New York fashion world; she posts photos of herself in uber-trendy outfits that are loved by women, but that puzzle and disgust men.


Medine’s fashion insight has captured the attention of big names like Harpers Bazaar and Lucky; the idea behind her blog stemmed from a conversation she had with a friend in the fashion industry.

Medine’s blog is entertaining and humorous. We love her energy and the way she encourages women to rebel in repel wear.

She accepts that there are men who are willing to look past the excess material and chunky shoes. “I do think there are men who would see a girl wearing this stuff and think, ‘She has so much confidence and she still looks great despite the fact that I don’t know where her crotch starts in those pants’...you can still tell when a girl is pretty. The men who really get repelled by what you’re wearing are a little shallow, and you probably don’t want to date them anyway,” she told the Times.



We Fein girls want to know what you think! Tell us about your favourite outfits that seem like they repel men...

Xoxo,
The Fein Girls

i'm sick...and Paul Ward's pics from the Caves music video launch

I don't get sick very often so when I do I get very very very sick.

On Sunday I had a slight scratch in my throat and by Monday afternoon I was so woozy that while I was sitting upright in my chair at my desk, I felt like I was twisting and turning at 90degrees.

Blergh. Yesterday I stayed at home in bed and the lovely drummer boy came to my rescue - he came with me to the doctor (I'm petrified of docters, hospitals, dentists - I hate going on my own and always Always cry).

I have body flu so am on quarantine. I'm bored and achey and coughy and this sucks.

Wouldn't mind a bit of cheering up...anyone? please?

Sighs.

Also, here are some awesome pics by Paul Ward of The Plastics' music video launch of Caves at the Grand Daddy Hotel. Lovely! Can you spot me?
