500 days of summer

so i am pretty sure by now that we have all heard that this movie is just going to be the sweetest thing ever. how can it not be? it has zooey. it's a sweet anti rom-com. it has a great soundtrack. it looks like sunshine on film.
i knew i was going to love this movie before i even saw it. i even got the soundtrack about two weeks ago i was that sure. i hadn't watched clips or anything, i just knew. it might have been the sweet sketchy poster but i think it was just the generally sweet and well sunshine like vibe i got from the idea of it.

anyway, i saw it last night with one of my fave people. and it would be fair to say we were both feeling quite gloomy beforehand, work + rainy days will sometimes do that. but after we saw the movie we were both chipper and felt good about the world again. so yes i did love it maybe even more than i expected.

and really, what's not to love?

this weekend

i'm going to see Russell Brand which I am bursting at the seams for. I'm also going to try and attempt to make a cape. thanks to christina for the tips! I'll post some pics of the progress (hopefully it actually looks something like these ones)

hope you have a lovely weekend too xx

this is ...how i like to spend my weekend

well honestly, i'm not too fussy with my weekends. i just like to relax and not be at work! but the last few months i have developed a little bit of an obsession with making the time off count by seeing as much of my friends and family as i can. and this weekend was pretty perfect for me as far as that goes. so here is my weekend in a nutshell:

super fun new zealand wine tasting at work, seeing my uni friends friday night for our mates album launch, dancing around and maybe drinking a little too much on friday night, catching up with these super lovely people , dancing in the rain + not dropping my maccas chippies at the same time!, sleeping in (maybe thanks to the wine + dancing), reading the papers, taking lots of polaroids. seeing the art deco exhibition, trying on some AWFUL red lipsticks, buying our first ever red lipsticks with yols, making a few cards + well sleeping.

all in all it was a perfect weekend. and for those of you who are in Melbourne and haven't been to see the Art Deco exhibition at NGV yet, I would say what are you waiting for? . My favourite things were the amazing dresses by lanvin & chanel, the cartier jewellery, radios + the honestly beauiful illustrations and travel posters. the only down side really is that it is so so busy that you can't stand around and admire for as long as i would like (but that could be years!)

i hope you all had just as much fun this weekend too!

thanks to the bird bath for this weeks theme
