Your Daily Dose of Leopard Print

Hey y'all! Today I was all matchy match in leopard print tights, a leopard print bowtie and sunnies.

I wore a white collared shirt under a black wool dress, and I felt very *RAWR*

Leopard print tights from Edgars

White shirt - vintage - it was my gran's. Black woollen dress, Monsieur Price.

My bowtie. :)

New Sunnies. Thirty bucks on the street.

Booya!

What do you think, my darlings?

Fascination

You may or may not have noticed that I love food. Not love, like ordinary people. I dream about designing meals, menus and find food presentation exciting. (I know - NERD.)

So, when I was researching some trends for the menu at work, I stumbled across this little baby.

The Bento box. A traditional Japanese packed lunch.

The Bento Box stems from the old Japanese belief that food show appeal to all the senses. The food is found unappealing if it does not have flavour, colour, or isn't presented well.

Every Japanese mom must master this artform, and takes pride in preparing her bentos for her family
every morning.

And this is where it gets exciting ( for me at least). The Japanese have invented kyaraben, or character bento. Making bentos with manga, cartoon and animal themes. Imagine being a kid and opening your lunch box to find these!

Fact of the day.

Did you know, the Shokado bento box, a black laquered box, inspired the IBM Thinkpad? Rad!

It's not as hard as it looks, as it's mostly rice, fresh veg and leftovers. Dont forget the little sweetie for dessert!

Feel free to send me these at work. I wont complain. Promise?

Til next time me dearies

So, How Was Your Day?

I am finally getting over my flu. Lots of staying in bed, drinking Medlemon, and taking sleep-inducing pills.

I was back at work this morning, FUN! Managing a restaurant has it's interesting moments. I had a waiter ask me to check on his table, because "they were looking at him funny". So I off I skipped, only to be met by Mr and Mrs Drunk-at-one-PM. Mr Drunk-at-one-PM decided that when I asked him whether he needed some help, that now would be a good time to confess his undying (not so secret) love (lust?) for me.

Drunk = sexy. NOT

And I quote, "How would you like to run away with me, let's just go have a jol, none of that sexual nonsense, well unless you care for sexual nonsense?" When someone warns you that they are "completely slobbered" it's code for "I'm going to flirt incessantly with you until you walk away."

Ah, wonderful.

I'm off to book that hair cut I've been going on about for a while now.

Til next time, lovelies

Drunk. SO Hot Right Now.

New Things Make a Girl's Heart Sing

My New Stuffs!

Sweet little swallow necklace. I love this kind of thing, so dainty and

lady like. When I was a kid,  I used to try on all of my Gran's jewellery,

and she used to tell me, "Never underestimate the effect a simple piece of

jewelery can add to your outfit." She was right, it can make an outfit look

thoughtfully put together, complete, not just thrown on.

The most adorable hair band. I'm wearing it as I write this. I will

definitely be wearing it as a bowtie with a cute high collared shirt.

Oh, the possibilities!

I love graphic tee's. SO cute. And so versatile. R30 too. Easy on the

pocket, easy on the eye.

I Love Leopard Print

I really do

This morning I was dreaming about dresses, as I often do, and decided that I must MUST find my self one.

But it has specifics. I don't want a skin tight, bum grazer of a dress, that's all cleavage. It must be cute and girly AND have leopard print. I could definitely do a knee length, nipped in at the waist, a la Gwen Stefani.

Pinup Heaven!

But leopard print can go oh-so-wrooong!

You Don't Impress Me Much

EEK

I suppose this could have
gone wrong in any colour

But here she is. The dress I have been dreaming of. I would add a plaited leather belt and perhaps patent leather brogues, or in a metallic silvery gold colour

The Dress I've Been Dreaming of

Betty's That Blog

So much for my haircut. I woke up this morning with a sore throat, thinking it was just flu. Looked in the mirror and couldnt really see my eyes. Uh oh.

"BOYFRIEND!"

Boyfriend confirmed, my eyes were closing up and tearing. So off I went to the pharmacist. Who freaked out.

Long story short, I have viral conjuctivitis. An eye infection (similar to Pink Eye) caused by something tiny irritating my system combined with a low immune system. One upside - I don't have to go to work til Monday. My man made some hearty beef soup to make me feel better, which it did. Yum

Anyway...........

Pin up hair and forehead burns.

Everyone knows, I love pinup girls. And their hair too.

I am very excited, like a kid before Christmas, to get my hair cut tomorrow! Yay!
I plan on shaping my fringe into a curve like the babelicious Betty Page. Perhaps I will frolick around in cat eye glasses and monokinis too.
