highlyeccentric, your cookies arrived today! Not stale at all, just a bit crushed, and still delicious. My study group and I are very appreciative. OM NOM NOM.

My best/worst decision of the week was adding the lookbook.nu feed to my LJ reading list; it's fulfilling my need for interesting fashion pictures delightfully, but it's also giving me the urge to throw out half my wardrobe and go shopping for new things. I have a (long) list of basics I want to buy and then combine in fun ways.

I was going to say, 'it seems to me that what Australia needs is Topshop', but really that would mean I had desire and opportunity, while still lacking funds, so possibly the longing would be more acute.

GOD I'M PATHETIC. I was hoping to achieve some kind of materialism-free-Zen when it comes to this no-disposable-income thing, but it seems that all I can achieve is further levels of grumpiness about all the useless shit I want but can't have.

Someone slap me on the wrist and make me go apply this zeal to, say, studying.

Randomly, remember the Caspian/Dunstan thing (http://fahye.livejournal.com/563023.html?thread=4415055#t4415055) we did ages ago? I like how it flows, so would you mind if I post that up on my Dreamwidth? With due credit, natch.

Sure, go ahead!

hahaha i have the exact same reaction to that feed, oh man! and i suppose it's my fault, for linking you. *hangs head in aesthetically appealing shame*

Thanks so much for suggesting it :D Despite my whining, I do really like the feed.

OMG I have had the same urge for so long.

I also just bought an iron, so I want clothes to press :/

[fahye.livejournal.com]

Hahaha. I tend to buy clothes that can be thrown in the washing machine and then the drier and then hung up; the college washer is not very gentle with clothes and dry-cleaning is expensive and...ironing takes time :D

Me too, for the most part, but my mother sometimes gets me pretty things, and they get wrinkly when I procrastinate on organizing laundry. :)

YAY COOKIES ARRIVED. <3

oh my god, why would you show that thing and inflict me with the same sort of pathetic longing? WHY WOULD YOU BE SO CRUEL, FAHYE!?

BECAUSE I LIKE TO SHARE MY PAIN

It gets worse when you realise that the feed/main site only show you the 'most hyped' ie. most popular ones, and that you can click on any of the countries/designers/clothing categories to get ENORMOUS amounts of pictures.

I have been, um. Trying not to do this. Too often. The feed is pretty busy as it is.

OH WHAT. You at least have an already-amazing wardrobe and a decent salary :P

It's a dangerous site. DANGEROUS!

I ALSO HAVE RENT AND BILLS. I just spent over $1000 today paying off quarterly strata fees and three-month train pass! That's my entire Krudd bonus plus extra! *CRIES*

:(( You'll have to come over some time and show off your awesome Etsy clothes on King St, that'll make you feel better.

OOOOH. I just went, and looked, and am a little obsessed with lookbook.nu.
... much in the same way that I was obsessed by a pair of chunky-heedled brogues and a cropped red, stamp-printed top on ASOS.

ALSO: Via a rec to rawles fic, I have been reading reactions to the BSG finale. (I'm a little late to the party, I know, but I was too scared to let it end).

WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH.

I hate RDM.

This? is 90% of the reason why I always have to remove street style blogs from my Google Reader a week after I add them.
