Black Mary Jane Obsession

You know when you just come across something and know that although you really can't afford to buy it, you simply must?

I found a wonderful pair of shoes today. And my friend Emma ended up chipping in, to my fervent promises of sharesies! They're mary janes, with a -inch heel, and an attached sock like thing, like the rest of a boot? But it's a soft suede-like material that feels wonderful and keeps the shoes firmly on my feet. So its like wearing the most comfortable socks with lovely mark janes =)
It's a classic style and they were only fifty dollars!

Honestly I feel like I've stumbled across a vintage pair of shoes, but I found them in Emporio in Perth, and they're made by Mollini. The original price was $280 *shudder* I also found the most rock looking, sexy pair of heels... Black patent leather, silver studs across the top of the shoe line, and six straps; three close to the toe, and three around the ankle, with a little zip up the back of the heel. Very very comfortable, (as I just had to try them on), but with twenty percent off, they were still $190, and that's just not justifiable on a pair of shoes!

So our shopping day was cut short. Our actual plan was to have some breakfast at the new Fast Eddies outlet in the city, and then hit the op shops, as both of us are pretty low on money. Her not having a job yet, and me with not very much by way of my pay left, as most of it went into rent and fuel this week. Oh I did look so forawrd to getting into those op shops!

I have to be prepared for my birthday in may, because we've decided to have a Mighty Boosh Party, and for Josh, his character is a cockney accented nutjob, with a top hat, firemen boots and a long but plain frock coat... The Hitcher! I think my best bet is to be trying the op shops for that sort of thing, and we do need a red pair of pants and a knitted red scarf. Ahhh! It'll be such fun!

I'll be dressing up as Elsie, the eel girl =P
So I can't wait to be making my lime green outfit, finding myself a tiny tiara, some black pointe shoes, and whipping up some felty eels! I'm going to be helping my mates with their outfits too. I know Delbz will be coming as Naboo, and I've got the perfect materials, (well, my mum does, and she's already said I could make a pair of pants out of the beautiful blue satiny fabric she has), as well as a little piece of embroidery with a peacock on it, perfect for a turban!

There's a lot of planning for celebrations going on; march will be a very full month, and may will be enormous, with five people just off the top of my head that have their birthdays! I'll be busy sewing and creating and working and cooking allllll through that time, and the weeks working up til then.

Oh! I've a lot on my plate! Time to go and finish making my cannelloni for dinner... =P
