Nice to be back here with my big furry best friend again …
On our last lovely balmy evening in Melbourne we met friends for dinner down by the Yarra River and chinwagged into the late late hours. Our friends had been reading the latest Stephen Hawking book The Grand Design, explaining further the theory of relativity and quantum mechanics, and posing discussions such as “why is there something rather than nothing?” and “why do we exist?” and other esoteric fare…
I decided to keep quiet about the fact that my current reading material is the Sookie Stackhouse Chronicles, a decidedly more lowbrow offering… This is a sometimes camp series about a Louisiana waitress who is a psychic and is also dating a vampire; lol! Yeah, I do read worthy books (really!), but also I like to escape now and then into black humour and small-town soapie-style fun too… life is too short to stick exclusively with serious.
Y’all agreed? Darn tootin’…

Skirt; partly my own design, based upon Vogue 7303, layered white stretch lace, see full length here

hello mum the blue combo is so suitable for the lovely blue skies at the moment!!! just though i would let everyone know I'm currently wearing one of my mum creations (Vogue Patterns: 1152 (Misses' Dress) modified to a top) and have never feel more confident to step into uni 🙂 xx
Loved your Melbourne posts. Thanks for the pointer to the rope necklace tute. I missed it first time around. It is great that your daughter is a sewer too.
Love your dog!! And that necklace – great tutorial – it really makes that outfit!!
Love the stretchy lace skirt, strappy sandals and the necklace.
I love this skirt, its one of my favourites!
Is the True Blood TV series based off those books, or vice versa? I didn't even know there were books…
Outfit is lovely, as usual 🙂
I'm a Sookie fan, too! It might amuse you to know that I ran into Stellan Skaarsgard (Eric from "True Blood") at Piazza Navona in Rome last week. I couldn't help but be a total dorky fangirl. And dang, he's TALL.
Love the pic with you and the pooch. Your wardrobe looks so effortlessly chic!
I also want to snorgle your dog. Is that so wrong? 🙂
