dream-maker, you heartbreaker.

this is most lovely. it also makes me feel a whole lot better about staying indoors all day with my box of tissues and lemon drops keeping me company.

st. jeromes.

yes i'm slowly making my way through the archives, and yes we're still in february.

i, with an old friend and a sturdy pair of gumboots went off to Laneway festival. i couldn't let my newfound penny-failing-saving ways get the better of me. could i!?

Beach House. Stornoway. Two Door Cinema Club. Foals. 

Jenny and Johnny. Yeasayer. and a glimpse of Warpaint.

{Beach house with Stornoway on the sidelines}

it was well worth all the bruises and dehydration if i do say so myself.

parklife the deez!

ok so i could break down parklife into a giant post, say how i got to see washington, gypsy & the cat, wolf gang, kele okereke etc etc but all you really need to know is that..

darwin deez are amazing in every way, shape & form of the word.

i'm not even exaggerating and if you ever get the chance to see them/their dance routines/his hair, go go go! i believe i was the luckiest girl that day to meet the drummer greg, and am not ashamed for the fangirl squeals that ensued as soon as i was able to tell somebody. ok maybe a little.

Papa vs Pretty.

Currently digging these sydney boys {something must be in the water up there} and their guerilla gigs. Wish these guys were on my bus instead of the regular crazies.

Take 1. Take 2.

Catching up with friends over what else but greasy cheeseburgers and thickshakes. mmm.

If only gyms were places to have conversations, think of the benefits!?

we'll still be best friends when it turns to dust.

The Morning Benders & Friends. Swoon worthy i tells ya.



Procrastination {theres that P word again} led me to this and i have no qualms about it.

haters of gilmore girls look away...



Lately i've been finding myself, well at least my insomniac self curled up on the couch watching the lovely ladies of stars hollow talk at the speed of lightning till the very wee hours of the morning. Granted i do have the series box set to make this all possible but i see a very grim future for my exam marks if i keep this habit up.
Back to 'studying' i go...

Sorry to have 3 consecutive posts with the word 'iphone' in it now but i must send out a big thank you to my old childhood -and clearly very crafty- friend Martine {yes all the way from the motherland, new zealand!} for sending this lovely owl case over! i love it! and now have the hard task of finding something equally as cool to post back. Do check out her blog! {by clicking that ol' link on ze left}

boy & bear.

I did originally intend to see this little lady, Lisa Mitchell

but these sydney-siders stole my heart on thursday night.
boys singing out in plaid shirts and paupers hats are apparently my thing.

see why- here, and below.

go do!

i may toss the L word around alot but i love, love, LOVE this man. Although Sigur Ros {another love.} are on hiatus i still have Jonsi's tunes to listen to over and over and over and over again.
I suggest you do the same.

i ♥ florence.

if you've been hiding under a rock for the last year you wouldn't have a clue who this woman is but for the rest of you out there in the blogosphere..
i couldn't resist. Florence and the Machine.
-i'm thinking of naming my first-born after this super rad red-head {no, not 'the machine'} thoughts?



Blame my lack of dosh, blame my lack of saving money more like it but my inner music nerd has been youtubing live gigs since the wake of the AMAZING lineup for Splendour. My summer was sadly festival-less and this just broke my heart in two. break out the violins people!

rachael graham. superstar.

This past wednesday i had the opportunity of catching my friend's very first gig at the local pub.

Rachael was ah-mazing. and not like amazing-she's-my-friend-so-of-course?!

as in ah-mazing. period.

Here she is {on the left} covering 'the chain' by another superstar songstress Ingrid Michaelson.

hoodie love.

My sweet friends Caitlin & Ashleigh presented this {amazing} Ben Stiller Hoodie to me today.

Why!?

Well long ago we decided that as fellow brace-wearing buddies we would form a club and Ben Stiller would of course be our mascot. I know what you're thinking, these are some cooler than cool people we're talking about here. Trust me, we know.

Now, they're not finished yet but i thought i'd give you all a little taste of what's coming up.

I mentioned how sweet these two are already right? thanks again ladies!

upular?

No explanation necessary. Love this.

It's 'Levi-o-sa', not 'Levio-saaar'
