 Apple Fall Handbag & Scarf

Taken in the Apple Fall Country Hall @ my homestead.

Ok so my brain has well and truly been up my backside today, and I've neglected to think of a subject to write about, also, tomorrow I will be going out with family for my first 'public' meal since I've been feeling better... so that's possibly weighing on my mind a little. I mean, who wants to sit a freakin' restaurant with a bunch of people they don't know, feeling super self conscious while celebrating a 40th Wedding Anniversary?

I actually asked my Dad how he felt about being married to my mum for that long, and I was hoping/expecting for some beautiful sentiment or maybe at a push, something flattering about his children (eg, me.) but no. The response I got was "To be honest, I'm kinda numb to it now."

Now I'm remembering and giggling to myself like a plonker!

In other news, TMD is open, Lads! Go grab your new things!

You may or may not have noticed I took a little breather. It was unexpected and yes, only a couple of days so maybe you didn't notice, but I missed -this-!

I found out rather appropriately that January 2nd is considered "World Introvert Day". So I introverted... and again on the 3rd... because I can.

I hope you are well rested from the holidays, maybe a little heavier from all the delicious foods, but hopefully content. 

Thank you all for your readership - I don't think I say that enough, but I'll try to more now that you have your very own nickname (Spoonies. I swear, it's gonna be a thing. Please. PLEAAASE!!)

Anywho. I've been awake for an extraordinarily long time and now I'm going to give you credits and pass out. Much love!

I have a busy day today! I'm quite excited, actually.

Back in around May, I shaved my head. It was something I had considered for about 6 months.Thankfully, it wasn't because I have suffered any kind of physical sickness, but more because my waist length hair had been left uncared for, and the only way I could think of to make everything better and actually begin some kind of self care routine in terms of my hair was to start over. It was around a number 5 when I shaved it, so no, not all the way down to the scalp but pretty darn close!

I have never had hair shorter than my shoulders before, and my hair had definitely become a way for me to hide. I would pull it forward and use it almost like a curtain. If I can't see you, you can't see me... kind of like how I imagine Peek-a-boo works with babies!

Shaving my head was incredibly scary, but also strangely liberating. If you haven't already watched "Nappily ever after" on Netflix, I thoroughly recommend you do, whether you have afro-style hair or otherwise, her journey is inspiring.

Anywho, today my hair has gotten long enough for me to actually get it cut into some kind of style.

I'm hoping for a Pixie-like cut, kind of like Emma Watson from "The perks of being a wallflower", but I'm not a Hollywood actress, nor am I in my early 20's, so we'll have to see exactly how that works out!

The location for today's shoot is a mystery, and will be revealed upon it's completion. I know, you can barely see a barred window, but who doesn't love a little mystery in their life??

Have a wonderful Thursday!

It's been a while since Durex has featured here, so I decided to dig him out of his semi-retirement phase and throw him into the darkness to choke the fudge outta Pickle. 

Let's face it, I'm sure there would have been plenty of volunteers.. *coughs* but Durex will always be my go-to in terms of male-models, he's just so pliable!

I don't have any fancy words of wisdom today, so for all the information, keep scrolling down!

Regardless of when Autumn/Fall actually begins, it's fairly obvious that Summer is drawing to a close and the time for cooler days, darker nights and crunching leaves underfoot is getting closer.

For that reason, today you'll find Pickle relishing in a few rays of sunshine as she relaxes on the back of a gorgeous fairground horse.

Happy Monday, guys. Here's hoping the start of your week is filled with love and light.

I'm using the facial expression hud "Axis" by LeLutka and it's AHMAYYYZING!

I tried to apologize to someone today for a misunderstanding, and rather than it making things better, I managed to make things worse. 

It just reminded me that sometimes, although you're ready to say what you need, the other person may not be ready to hear it, or accept it. Sometimes, their perception of you has been so distorted from someone else's perspective, it's just not worth the hassle, and everything you do will be considered as yet another bad move, even when your intentions are good.

Therefore, I will learn to apologize and then shut up. 

I can't make people like me, and those that do deserve my time more than those I need to convince.

Absolutely LOVE how this photo came out, and just as well, too, because it took me bloody ages to capture! 

I also tried some new things with the ripple detailing. Every time I do a picture involving water, I like to add a little something new, and I'm thrilled with this one! Now I just need to work out how to get droplets on my skin... *flails wildly*

I had so much fun with this outfit!

I wanted to show off both the tattoo by Dappa which is currently at the Neo Japan event, and the shoes from Empire which are special for 50L Friday.

I knew it had to be an asian theme, but being the ignorant ass I am, I'm not actually sure if I've gotten the right mix of asian here, so there's probably a bit of japanese and chinese influence.. I know the backdrop is Tokyo, and the kitty cats on the kimono I believe are more Chinese. I may be wrong, feel free to correct all the things.

Anywho, this is what I came up with and I LOVE it! 

Some of the items listed may not be available anymore. The Kimono for example is an old item from Luxe Box, and they're no longer being sold, although there may be alternative colours in store. However, I truly believe that part of being a blogger isn't necessarily to allow people to copy you 100% (Nothing wrong with that if you do!), but to provide just enough inspiration to allow you, dear reader, to go off and do something similar... and heaven knows there are plenty of kimono's available, especially at the Kurenai & Neo Japan events listed, so go... wander off into the vortex of the land of shopping, and spread those Lindens far and wide to find your perfect asian mix!
