OH YES I DID.

DOUBLEE DEENNNIIIMMMMMM.

hello, my name is hypocrite. I like keeping the nasty trends alive.

Double denim and three ferrero rochers (thanks for those Jessjess)

Damn good start to the afternoon in my opinion.

shorts sass and bide, shirt witchery (shut up I work there. don't judge) and stupid old shirt.

running out of time.

I am so behind with everything right now. Sick for a week, then all that birthday goodness now, arrgh! Short but sweet this will be. Have some photos and things to write about the first day of my twentieth year, but will wait until I have a cable to connect my camera to my... new macbook! So there is one damn fantastic positive. So really, I am on the run but am currently thinking about photography books by Ellen Von Unwerth and Tim Walker, food & coffee from the commons, health (the band), and the million and one things I have to do. Oh and I joined twitter! So follow me? I want to have some friends. Picture of whimsy from plain old google. Wanting some filtered light, pastel-y type moments right now.

Chat soon!

My Little Friday.

Things I did today.

1. Stopped in at the Romance was Born pop up shop in Paddington. 50% off. Everything. Go there now! I left with an inexpensive print clutch. Indulges my love for both the label and Del Kathryn Barton. Its 50% off until the 31st when it pops back down again. I urge you to go. And buy the floral print shorts with the bobble trim! So sexy. (Although they made me look five. Fuck)

2. Took my black and white film to be developed at Just Shoot, the lomography shop in Paddington. Drooled over various Diana accessories I cannot afford.

3. Whilst I was there I had a peek at Pattie Boyd's exhibition in the adjoining gallery (Blender Gallery). Been meaning to check it out forever and so glad I did. If you're into photography or music, this is a must, must, must.

4. Ran into a friend and conversed over my favourite summer drink at Starbucks. Tall shaken green tea with lemonade and no syrup. Delicious. I used to depise Starbucks due to the amount of words it takes to order and its overt 'Americaness.' But shit, they make really good cold drinks and it reminds me of Japan. Ice cafe au lait over Shibuya crossing? Or Ice caramel macchiato in Harajuku? I'm a cafe au lait person myself. As I've mentioned.

5. Made egg and nori rolls for lunch. They looked as if they were rolled by an infant. Tasted pretty nice. I used this recipe.

6. Struggled to survive in the heat.

7. Made basic pesto with almonds. - bunch of basil finely chopped, handful of slivered almonds, crushed, 1 garlic clove, crushed, half a cup of grated parmesan, oil, salt. Mix together, etc.

copycat.

if you are at all interested in Japan, you'll know Lotte is a major sweet company that make some really delicious products if you have a sweet tooth like me. This was a lemon and lime 'coolish'. They have nothing like this in Australia, which I find strange! It tastes kind of like a very thick, frozen slushy.

My shinkansen breakfast. Cheese baguette and cafe au lait (love) from Andersons. I stole the cream cheese from mum simply for photographic purposes. I don't like cheese that much.


I forget exactly what this was! Chicken, rice, sliced nori and miso. It may have been teryaki but I can't actually remember. Which is terrible, because I do remember it was incredible!

Pork katsu set. One katsu cutlet with miso, cabbage and rice.

Although my photography and styling skills are no where near as chic, I thought I'd post a little of my own food porn. Hope you enjoyed.

i heart suntory.

The return of my Japan fever has led me to some really fantastic food porn. It Will Stop Raining* is my favourite food blog so far. Add a few recipes to the already perfect styling and photography and it would make a beautiful book or magazine. I especially love the first picture taken on the shinkansen. The little onigiri and suntory water are so reminiscent of my Japanese experience.
