R - What do guys think.........
So recently I started thinking, what do guys think of various clothing styles and items? Do they think that what we wear is weird, attractive or just plain ugly. Do they even care?
So according to an article I read here's what guys think of some of the things we wear:
1. Red - they are drawn to the colour, it's biological. It makes them feel more attracted to you. SO if you want to get noticed, chuck on your sexiest red dress, it's a winner.
2. Skinny Jeans - they find you approachable. They feel more comfortable around you and are more likely to come up and start a convo with you.
3. Mini- Skirt - legs, legs, legs! That's all they see so if you were worrying about cellulite, don't bother. Cause he's not going to notice it.
4. Pointy toes shoes - So this ones a bit weird. Apparently boys don't like pointy toed shoes, as they instill fear, but they don't like round toed shoes either. Go work that one out :)
5. Floral Dress - Now I don't particularly like this one cause the article said that hey think floral remind boys of their nans. I certainly hope not, so don't take that one to heart.
6. Track Pants - Let's snuggle. So is you're feeling like a snuggle, go put our trackies on girls.
7. Harem pants - It looks like she's just pooed her pants.
8. His shirt - You look pretty cute.
All things considered, I find a majority of girls, dress for girls. Many generally forget to actually consider what a guy would think of their outfit, and simply ponder what the girls will think. Who cares what other people think of your outfit anyway, if you think you look good, flaunt it!!

R - The Best and the Worst
Okay I thought Id do a best outfit and worst outfit post. Ive been taking note recently on some of the outfits I've seen and I thought I'd share some of the best and worst of my findings.
BEST
1. A pair of high waisted skinny jeans, a plain white singlet that ended just above the top of the pants, a pair of black ballet flats and a long necklace with a big pendant. You'd have to be really skinny to pull this one off and although it sounds really simple it looked really good. I don't usually go for the high waisted jeans but these looked really good. I think to top it off just add a bowler hat or a beret and you're set.
2. Black Pink Floyd t-shirt, high waisted ripped denim shorts, black stockings, a leather jacket, bowler hat, black and gold bangles and few big rings. It looked really good, thats obviously why its in my best list, and even though its a bit more specific than the last outfit it still has the kind of 'i just threw this on' look about it.
WORST
1. Ive only got one but its a bad one, here we go: a short pleated denim skirt, a white boob-tube, ugly high heeled boots and one of those tiny little bags that has the really short straps so it sits right up in your underarm. It was a terrible combo, if you dont think it sounds that bad, well it really did look it.
Bowler hats are the perfect finishing touch, if you can wear hats that is, whicih sadly I cant :(

J- Current Obsession: Lomography
Okay, so I always had a bit of an idea of what Lomography was, but never a great inerest. Then, the other day, I was playing around with a friend's Lomography Fisheye camera and just fell in love. I immediately went on the internet to the lomography.com and began researching all the lomography oppurtunities out there. And thats when I discovered the Lomography Diana+...
The Diana+ was this cheapo (I talking a dollar) camera in the 1960s, developed in Hong Kong. Its main-stream life was a very short one and it was discontinued in the 1970s, but soon became very popular among artists, and skyrocketed to cult status.
With its soft, dreamy look, super-saturated colours, gritty, sometimes blurry look, the Diana+ is perfect for capturing the sometimes uncapturable. A story really does lie beneath each shot, and sometimes you will get back a shot and discover that its nothing like you originally though. It might be smudged in one corner, or maybe the light did something funny. Its this unpredicatbility that I love.
Lomography has taken the Diana+ and given it some new, modern twists. Dont worry, its still a good-old analog camera (digital cameras killed that wonderful unpredictability)but theyve just taken away all its 1960s faults and added a few new features, like the pinhole and endless panorama effects. Its simple to use, its got a lovely retro look, it produces gorgeous pics, and it hasnt lost that original Diana+ charm. Seriously, its perfection in a camera.

R - Furniture
So recently I've started taking an interest in furniture. I mean I always liked it, a nice bed or a comfy couch would always catch my eye but I never really thought that much about it. Having an awesome room can really influence your lifestyle.
My favourite kind of furniture is antique. It costs a bit more but it looks so much better and gives a real olden day kinda feel. Or if you don't want to spend the money and get real antiques nowadays you can go and buy fakes. They look like the real thing but just cost less :) I like colourful furniture too. Just looking at it makes me feel so happy.
There's heaps of stuff you can do to add that little something extra to your room.
Since I don't have a big enough room to actually do most of this stuff I thought I'd share the and maybe someone else will give them a shot.
1. Get a double bed. I spose its a teeny bit sad that I still sleep on a single bed but there you have it.
2. Get a fabulous mirror or two or three. I say you can never have too many mirrors. Instead of getting just a simple rectangle shaped one, although I'm not saying there's anything wrong with them, try a more unusual abstract shaped one.
3. Go to a hardware store, buy string lights (as in lights on a string, ruh) and hang them on your wall to spell out a word. It could say your name, your favourite word but no matter which word you pick it'll be sure to look fabbity fab.
4. I'm not sure if this ones actually possible but apparently you can buy clock mechanics, I heard they're in Spotlight, and you attach it to an old record or cd and voilà you have a new clock.
5. Plomp a lounge in your room or a day bed. Even though they might take up a bit of room it adds a little bit of comfort and they look good too
6. If you have a tall ceiling then go and buy a Chandelier!! They look sooooo cool and honestly why wouldn't you want a chandelier in your room.
7. Stick photos all over your walls or cupboard door. They add a little personality to your room and you'll be sure to never forget how hot you and your friends are :) Or if you don't want to use photos posters, drawings, newspaper clippings; well practically anything will look just as good. Don't be afraid of using different patterns together either.
