A Girly Jaunt
  Ah, what a leisurely life we do lead. A short jaunt to the fabric store turned into a day-long trip involving the imbibing of fine coffees, the investigation of various trendy vintage stores and the purchasing of incidental cute attire. Bugs found a polka-dotted 80's dress just begging to be revamped into a cute (and not 80's) skirt/top combination, and I bought a plaid pencil skirt and a mint green shirt with pintucks in the front, which is just what the jauntily-dressed lady adventurer is wearing this season. All these for $5 each at Clubhouse Lane Boutique, Queen Street. A perfect Adelaide winter day - the sun was not out to maim us and there was a slight chill in the air that made hot soup taste particularly fine. We both looked mighty cute - if I do say so myself - and there was much inspiration to be had in the way of crafty pursuits. Later, a plate of steamed dumplings and a bowl of pho at the Market hit the spot just right. Oh, and lest I forget, a superlative coconut custard bun from Nana Hot Bake - a squishy glutinous confection with electric green innards, divine to munch on though it left the roof of my mouth numb for some reason! The world is filled with adorableness at the moment - so much inspiration in the way of cute things to make, cute foods to eat (see the bentoboxes community on Flickr) and cute housewares to plan (unsubtle hints to the apartment gods - please put us out of our misery and let us know whether we got the place or not!). I am feeling the intense need to sew a pair of blue drill trousers for exploratory purposes, wide legged, sturdy and workmanlike but of course with a well-fitting posterior! Just right for the prospecting of drains and midnight sneaking. Lock-pick compartment optional. |
