LUXE

Two beautiful girls were showing me their incredible,/-ly expensive luxury
bags the other day...

...And they are lovely, but, you know what? I totally (obviously?) love this bag better.

Who's GARY?? These should be the only pencil cases made.

ACT Burlesque!

Apparently, we have a ton of it. Below are the banging babes of The Darling Sisters. Their website looks weird and curiously un-glamourous, but is actually kind of awesome. Also, their boutique is INCREDIBLE if a bit pricey for me. Take a look-see..The Darling Sisters Boutique

 

Below, Sarah (far left), has a blog that has a lot of pictures that I want more time to look at. Missfit's Vintage. 

 

This is a snood from Pussyfoot Industries (cute etsy here). Snood is a fun thing to say and to wear.

PS. Sorry if the photo quality here is a piece of penis, I'll upgrade them ASAP. 

Get on My Head, Local Buzzness

There is almost nothing I want to put on my head more that this red crown of gorgeous. It and the other headpieces of glory here are made by Barb Mickelson, who lives at the Old Bus Depot markets (She doesn't have a website). From memory they were very reasonably priced too.

 

So much costume jewelery at the Bus Depot...

Fash'n Treasure win, Old Bus Depot Markets

Fash'n Treasure blew my mind.

Apparently the turn-out was unimpressive on account of Foreshore, but that just meant more cool shit for the rest of us. I bought so much for SO LITTLE MONEY.

As well as some really great vintage, people were making stuff! Don't even try to hold me back from craft.

These are earring made out of sunglasses' arms. I may never be more chuffed.

Sigh.

Now if you really wanted to go to Fash'n Treasure, but you didn't know it was on and missed it, I suggest time-travel or simply just remind yourself to check Party By Jake more often. This is where I blog and tell you about these amazing things.

Lotta men on this blog recently...

Ladies? Wouldn't you love either gals' hair?

UniStyle: Pretty Sunny, ANU

These photos were taken on a beautiful day that was worthy of sunglasses. Even if you only got them from that creepy hat stand/shop/area in the Canberra Centre like the guy at the top did.

Also, do you own Raybans? everyone has Raybans. I do not have Raybans...yet.

Unistyle: Man-Beads, ANU

UniStyle: Spanish Sense, ANU

Sophia and I were out and moaning about grey-toned clothes in winter. They are OK but not so much fun for photos. Then we spied this gentleman and we had to go bother him in the library:


We tried to express our love but he was Spanish and didn't understand our fangirl English. I have a theory - wellllll really, lets call it an unfounded stereotype based on a handful of people I know- that Spanish people wear the craziest things but make them look so normal. Like, a native Canberran could not wear a red-gummi watch, matching headphones, a feminine tablecloth as a scarf, summer shorts but a beanie too, and (though you can't see them) socks that match it all. It's not weird on him but then again it totally is.

Anyway, sorry for frightening you man!

UniStyle: That Bag!, ANU

It is so furry.

UniStyle: Bow-tie man

I think this is a perfect example of how an already stylish outfit can be made even better with one, well chosen, accessory. Everything here goes together perfectly,from his cardigan (great print!), the crisp (and pristine) white trousers, to his shoes and bag. I think the addition of the bow-tie was a great decision, as it really makes this outfit 'pop'and matches the red in his cardigan and shoes. Delicious.
