Getting Height

So the colours for this season are ice cream colours and some really cool versions of peach, pinks, coral, greens and turq's. All matching up with beige and caramel colour pants etc etc... ALSO............. the SHOES for this season are all back in favour of the shorties, awwww yeah!! Hahaha. So platforms are back! Chunky heals, and two tone and three tone slingbacks, peep toes and wedges. So, so, SO shouldn't have gone shopping the other day, it reminds me of why I steer clear really... because my personality does NOT suit my bank account, hahaha... Well at least I came to realise that I need to choose where I need to spend my monthly 'spending portion' every month as opposed to on all the things I desire... FYI.. I desire a lot... Bicycle parts (cool things), Car stuff (cool things), Things for in and around my home (this is my main thing), FOOD stuff for making cool desserts for people (LOVE), kitchen gadgets (oh my word - mild obsession) and lastly clothes and shoes.................. this desire I have managed to keep in a tightly concealed container... and the other day it was poking it's head out and going wtf, I need all of this. Now. So anyway shopped some... wanna shop more.... must calm down, but C H E C K O U T the shoes for this summer and then lastly a the pair I indulged in, because well.... I just had to.

The Sissy Boy pair I bought...

Good things come to those who wait

Well I waited and waited.............. and it finally came..... in a big box from across the ocean..... I've always been a quantity over quality person, haha sounds weird, coz its usually the other way around. But I guess it's coz I'm not too phased about the big, expensive, the lavish, the name.... to prove what? to whom? If I like it, I don't care who made it or where I bought it. But when you find yourself being in a position to get the proper stuff, you tend to save and you tend to wait coz there is no greater thrill than seeing something that you want more than anything, having to wait and anticipate the fruition of it....... and finally having it become yours.

But.............. it's not what it's meant to be yet. The colour isn't right, the one I wanted was nowhere left in the world, ok, ok, well... at a very silly price. But I know some people who know some people who'll get it spot on the way I have it in my mind's eye. The red tyre was just to have a look see how it looks and put it on my Carlton track frame which is gonna look pretty sick when it's done - at the moment has been sandblasted is all. It needs a coat of paint, going in for metallic gunmetal, but a little darker - just off black really, so yeah.. a work in progress. Projects are the fundamentals of mind stimulation and fun......... and who doesn't like a fun time :P

Good thing come to those who wait...... this is a great thing.... more to come....

Aerospoke... dig it.

84 days left of this year

Feel good moments

I love finding little places that make me smile when I'm visiting them, whether it be a shop, a bakery, a restaurant, or anything that really brings about that welcomed feeling of bliss.......... Well on my birthday, someone who has come to be a very good friend of mine took me for lunch at this little spot. They knew it was exactly my 'cup of tea', as was..... the actual cup of tea :) Which was a sweet pot of breakfast tea with goji berries in the bottom of the cup. Y u m.. None of the cups were matching at our table, I'm pretty sure I was drinking out of something that resembled real china, none of the furniture matched, and everything was just sooo 'cool' for lack of a better word. Soft 30's swing like from the days of black and white movies was playing in the background. What a little gem of a place. I felt as though I'd left town behind and time traveled to an era where simple pleasures existed and jars full of sweets and homemade style biscuits and pastries were your favourite thing to look forward to after a long day of playing outside.. Life's about a collection of moments of right 'feel', right people, right times... Here are a few pictures from this very 'olden day' era shop on the top floor of a collection of PE's finest antiques.. where I got to have one of those moments.. It's got that charm that has you feeling 10 again...

This song was playing there....anyway you get a feel with the pics....

So much of the readingz

Don't hold back, ffs

This is cool........

so are these guys... gotta love em... 

What will this month bring.....

Sink or swim

Risk = potential reward
Risk = potential failure

50/50 ..... Potential regret on both sides of the coin. So? Which end do you jump in? The shallow end - safe choice - nothing lost, nothing gained... Tomorrow comes, same as yesterday type thing.. Or, do you jump in the deep end and sink..... Or swim... ?

Well I chose deep and......drowned.... So the regret is at least a tried and tested regret as opposed to "I wish I knew" regret. Which in practice holds no substance. The benefit of taking chances or putting yourself out there, is that you learn more about how you actually are or feel or can be or can't be. You have the opportunity now to regroup and hopefully redeem the failed attempt or reap the reward - as a first prize :) hahaha. If you get the second chance that is.... But if you do, then you gotta be sure of the realisation that clarity is waiting at the backend of it. We all need clarity, as do I.

So.... drown once?
Life vest second time round.
Third time round.... Swim laps or stay inside.
