When Life Makes You Go To Work...

...waste time there writing new blog entries.

Today's images come from the Accessories department. Enjoy our frivilousness. :D


Can you guess the accessories in this shot? Maxi-dacks might... ;P


Oh wow, scarf-tasy. Some of you might have heard my rant about artist scarfs and why they're ridiculously amazing. Ridiculously. Soon I will dedicate an entire entry to them- but, now... Oh wow! Soft, pretty, must have!


The pencil bangle is soo awesome. I wish it was my idea. Now I shall just rip it off XD


Cute-tastic acrylic ring, with etching and what looks like paint. Cooooool.


This little bird necklace shows that being colourful is not criminal! Look at him stand out from the crowd! What. A. Babe.


This bag is by Ted Noten, one of my all time favorite accessories wizard. He encases live (read, not ALIVE)crap inside plastic and makes them into see-through handbags. USELESS see-through hand bags. Crap includes cocaine, pearls, diamonds, dead mice, t-bone steaks and guns!:O


For some reason I just like these. They're not particularly well made or all that original. But they are pretty.


Weird shoes are weird. These have a wood grain texture, which I think is neat. Reminds me of Bender's down-grade.


Lace! It's a new obsession of mine. Well... not NEW. Just revived. I want this headband. Maybe I will make it?


There is something about octopi that I just like. Especially their suckers. o.O


Aaand, I don't know what these are. But I WANT them to be brooches. Hooow cool.

Ok, i get paid on THURSDAY. Must. Not. Spend.

The No. 1 Solution To Crankiness:

Buy more pink.




Hooooow hot is this skirt?? I saw one similar on the front of one of the newspaper inserts at work today and not I really CANNOT get it out of my head. Tacky, yes. Happy-making, hell freakin' yeah. Imagine them with suspenders... XD


Pink Freud holding a sausage dog?? Come on, smart jokes are tres hilarious! If I had this painting on my wall in my art studio I'd be too busy grinning to actually make any of my own art.


Pink is not just for glam! This little outfit reassures me that pink is for every time of day (though a little more subtle than lipstick pink, no?)


Married with hot pink heels... Someone out there has my kind of sense of humour.


Mmmm. I'm unsure of this one... Maybe because I know it'd never fit me. *sigh* But the awkwardly adorable girl is will cheer me up instead. :P


These. Shoes. Are. Amazing. I want them, please. They will cure the blues better than a sugar high and 5-year-olds. : D


And, of course, if you wear pink you need accessories to match. This bag is pretty sweet, even if it won't hold much more than cash and a lipstick.

So, feeling better? We could always don tutus and eat strawberry ice cream as well, if you want. I know I do.

Anyway- adieu, adieu, wear pink and be merry- <3 Danni

I'm Teaching Myself To Walk In 5-Inch Stiletto Platforms

This has long been a dream of mine. The stiletto platforms say 'I am too tall and precariously balanced, but my calves are shapely and now you are thinking about me naked.' I like that about them.



I was talking to some friends about shoes recently. One of my girl friends has one- ONE!- pair of shoe. And they're SNEAKERS! Another guys had one pair of sneakers and some broken Dunlops. What is wrong with these people?? I promised to introduce the guy to Aquila (it's the best we can do in Canberra) for some sweet dress shoes, but how do I take a girl in sneaks to heel level in 0.5 seconds? It's so sad.



In assessing these lovelies peeps on their shoe malfunctions, I realised- I don't have enough shoes. Or, at least, I have plenty of shoes, but only two or three pairs actually get worn regularly. This is for several reasons:

1. Height. When I wear ballet flats I'm a foot shorter than everyone in the group. Wearing platform stilettos doesn't even make me that much closer, but it's a start.



2. Balance. It's haaaard to walk in stilettos! Usually, if I wiggle too much while in them I fall over. I mean, I call these 'function shoes', the kind of shoes you wear on a runway or to a function where you sit down 3/4 of the time. 5 seconds walk or 5 hour sit. NOT to go shopping in. Which I did. It took me ten minutes to walk from my car to the shop right above me. Fail.



3. Matching. You know... If you're going to wear crazy shoes they have to match the outfit you're constructing. And electric blue only goes with so much. I have shoes I've never worn because finding a matching outfit has completely eluded me.



4. Price tag. You can't trash the $1200 pair of shoes, babe. It's sacrilege.



5. Fit. Because even though they don't fit... you REALLY wanted them to.



Here are some nice pics to drool over! This first one is John Fluevog- his shoes are INSANE. I love them.






Adieu, mon ami- Danni (PS I say this all the time. It means "goodbye, my friend" right?)

Today I Spent $400.00

1. Hair Cut and Dye: $OhSh!t

2. New Sexy Underwear: $Many

3. New Skirt: $Lots

4. Red Lipstick, Foundation and Lipliner: $TooMuch

5. Pink, Black and Yellow Tights: $Why??

6. Bunny Ears : $For a Party that never happened.

7. Suspenders : $AWESOME.

TOTAL: $400.00 That is 4/5ths of my pay. I'm so doomed.

Do Blondes Have More Fun...?

...I think this one will. The best part are the compliments, actually... But, to give you all the back story.



Foooor awhile now I've wanted super white blonde hair. I've been leading up to suggesting it to my mother for a few months, but from her subtle doubt I quickly realised that she wasn't going to say 'hell yes', or pay for it, but she wouldn't stop me if I did it myself. Then! I found the cut, the perfect cut, while designing my new jewellery range. See below-



And I asked Facebook their thoughts. Because I didn't have the pic on me I showed everyone these:




But they said no, no, no. You a silly head, Danni. But they voted in the original, so that's awesome sauce, right?

My hairdresser thinks -she's nuts! Fresh dyed brunette hair dyed pure white in a day??? I went in at 12.30, had to go to work at 5.00... and left the salon at 5.20. Oops. Three bleaches and a toner later, I had blonde on top, brunette on bottom, and I popped back in the next day for 45 minutes for the fringe and layers. Wow.

I didn't think it would be that intense! Or take soooo long. But it's so awesome now. One of my lovely Facebook friends thinks I look like this:



I was thinking more like this:




But I'm happy with the compliment!

Why Pin up Girls are Sexier When DRESSED.

So, anyone who knows me well knows that I heart dresses more than anything except my cat. And, ok, a few select people- but mostly it's the dresses, ok? And, they also know that I take booty to a new bootilicious level. Thus, the dress style I favour is, far and away, the 50's Pin-Up swing dress.

Now, there are few kinks that need working out in my conviction to this Scene. For instance-

1. Hair

I can't do it. Fringe I'm ok at, when I can be bothered blow drying my hair, but the curls, the rolls, the whole kit and kaboodle? I'm a fan with no plan.



2. Shoes

For some reason I get to the shop and think 'SHOES! Orrrr... NEW DRESS!!!' and always get the dress. I need more shoes, damn it!



3. Dress

MORE AND MORE AND MORE! I'm not a one dress kind of girl, baby, I'm going all the way. ; P



4. Stockings

Because beneath all the lush cloth I want extra lush lattices of fishnets. These are the naughty to a person's nice.




5. Accessories

Accessories are pretty much the icing on the cake, the lights on the Christmas tree. I love accessories so much it isn't funny. And I should! I make a career from selling them. But, the more dresses I buy the more accessories I need- to match, you know?






6. Lingerie

AAAANNNDDD undies are the caramel in the delicious centre of the chocolate world. Undies, my loves, are scrumptious and sexy and make you feel 100 million dollars when all you're doing is sitting at work. I need more, STAT!




Soon I'll be pin-up queen of Canberra. ; P

Seen any HOT items around for me? I want to know!

List the First

Week 1 - the Shopping List

This Thursday I get paid again, finally. I missed all my cash from last semester, I spent it so quickly (on Alannah Hill gloves and 20 new dresses, but nevertheless I am poor) and this time I need to watch it closer. While I waited for the $$ signs to reemerge, I made the list. I think this might be a fortnightly habit, now. ^_^

1.

Red Lipstick

Red lipstick is something I've wanted for ages but have failed steadily to find the right shade. Bold and romantically seductive, I'm consumed with lust when I think of red smears of plump, feminine lips.

2.

Collar and Bowtie

Because women toeing the line of drag is sexy, and these would look amazing with a white dress and black waistcoat.

3.

Men's Work Shirt

I recently woke up with a girl who used these as pajamas. Pretty much, she was the sexiest lady I'd ever seen, her breasts pressing suggestively against the masculine cut, her thighs peeking beneath the hem.

4.

50's Beaded Cardigan

I love the pin-up look, 50's, Mad Men, the whole shoop-shoop shebang. I have one, true, but who can stop at just one when it comes down to it? Not me, that's for sure.

link

5.

Suspender Skirt

I must have one. Suspender, for some strange, compelling reason, fascinate me. However, I do not wear pants. Don't ask, it's a long story of hate and hips, and dresses are the perfect garment anyway. So, the Sus-skirt. It took me so long to even find a good image that wasn't of a four year old...

6.

Granny Boots

My boots died a horrible, zip related accident. The solution- buy new boots! This time with laces! It's so crazy it may just work. I reeeeaaly want the bright yellow ones. <3

There is more (so MUCH more) floating beneath recesses of my consciousness- frothy pinkness, pearls, cream- but, it will have to wait. There are other considerations. Hair cuts, new jewellery to be made and worn... It's stealing precious fashion coinage, but a necessary evil. Soon, my dears, will come the result of my shop. 

Until, adieu.
