False eyelashes — At the moment, I wear them almost every day. I adore them! I like to bat them & pretend to be Bambi. I have a pair which are decorated with little pearls & they kind of make me feel like Marie Antoinette. ...Marie Antoinette with neon purple hair. But you know what I mean!
Accents — I am on a big accent kick right now. I just love them! They’re so interesting! I always think about them a lot because my accent is weird, kind of a British/New Zealand mix, & Australian accents are still really bizarre to me! I think that if someone’s words are the outline of a drawing, accents are the colour within the lines. They tell stories of where people came from & where they have been. As a child I used to speak in different accents all the time & record them on a dictaphone!
Saying “epic”, “major” & “so very” — I can’t help myself. I say these things all the time. I picked “major” up from Ms Beckham — it is fabulous. & I said “epic” at least 5 times in my last makeup class. (To be fair, we were looking at really major [ha!] fashion eye makeup, & it WAS epic!)
My stubbed toe — Usually not so cool (I walked into the trampoline, OUCH!), but it’s turning purple & I think it’s kind of sweet because it looks like it’s trying to match my hair! Maybe it just felt left out… I am giving it lots of love just in case.
Breaking free of my hermit shackles — I am a bit of a workaholic so it’s very easy for me to abandon the outside world in favour of typing away at my desk. From now until the new year, we’re going to have about 8 visitors (!!!) from NZ & the UK, & in the next two days I have social occasions with two people I have never met before. Exciting!
My boyfriend — aka King Gimlet! (Gimlet is my new pet name for pretty much everyone, but my boyfriend is the King of them!) He does this really neat all-singing, all-dancing breakfast weasel act which I really like. Also we sometimes have lobster fights which is where you put your elbows up in front of you & try to grab the other person’s head between them. It is way more fun than it sounds. Simon
Honourable mentions: “Clicking” with people; shiny new opportunities; fossicking around with my new hairstyle; rediscovering old music (at the moment it’s Tool, which I haven’t listened to in years!); baby blue & baby pink; hair dusted with candy-scented powder; making faces at the window cleaners (it cracks me up); Christmas lillies (snow white with hot pink spots!); clearing out my inbox; full-length fur coats; eyeballing all the purikura sheets I have clipped to my desk lamp; Disneyland; sticking jewels & crystals on my face; eating an ice-cream while watching A Shot At Love With Tila Tequila (& further to that, Domenico & Amanda & Bobby & Dani — it took me a long time to like her, but I do); Turkish delight; this picture & secret admirers!
Oh, & this video.
“Nothing is worth more than this day.” — Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Join me in making the most of your day by expressing your undying L-U-R-V-E for whatever is thrilling you! The postman, your new slippers, holographic nailpolish, home-cooked meals… ? Spill it!
Love letters & feather headdresses,

Speaking of attack furniture/objects such as trampolines injuring you, I very heavily and accidentally kneed our solid timber bed at 5am on Monday morning… not very cool to be wide awake, crying with your husband holding an ice-pack to your knee first thing in the morning and the sun hasn’t even risen!
It’s a huge bruise – a bit fluidish under the skin and blue black… My knee is not happy :(
Hope your toe heals quickly! I can’t even wear skirts or shorts without feeling self conscious right now. Ugh!

Accents. I love boys with accents, they just make me melt. Specially when they don’t speak Spanish at all and they sound so cute tryng to speak properly.
My Probability Professor. He just rambles on and on during class and he says thigs that are so off topic that it makes us all laugh a lot.
The fact that I finished a exam in five minutes and I did really good. It was a very easy exam, almost as easy as a multiple choice one.
My new designer friends, they are a group of rally cool girls that study graphic design. We make a nice team and we like lots of the same things.
Cable TV. It gets installed today!!! I can’t wait to watch the series remiere of Gossip Girl!!
Mexican Telenovelas. They are soo predictable and addictive. I love watching them everytime I can.
- My Lolita sunglasses. Finally, I found a pair and they’re perfect with pink lenses and were only $3!
- Having the morning off to clean my house.
- New Weird America, specifically Blonde Redhead, The Mountain Goats and Devendra Banhart.
- PARFAIT AMOUR! I finally found some and oh my! It’s very tasty.
- Having finished all my assignments for the semester, so I can now concentrate on my films!
- wearing giant silk scarf bows on my head.
- creating costumes for picnics and concerts.
- planning activities for the holidays like trips to Melbourne, op-shop trawling excursions, vegetarian dinner/henna parties and themed picnics.
- Amanda Palmer! I just cant get enough of her. She is my ultimate girl crush.
False eyelashes are a love of mine. Thanks for reminding me that I need to go out and buy some more. Yours sound fantastic!
- i finished/passed my exams today, and now have a degree!
- the beautiful weather
- mangos
- rediscovering my love of the beatles
- this lovely site (that i only just discovered last week and am already completely addicted to!)
- the fact that i’m leaving for london in 10 days!!!
oh and i also love false eyelashes and accents :)
Chipmunks – they are the cutest funniest animails ever! If only I could catch one ….
- Google Reader! I only just discovered it – Having one day left of uni for the year… although I don’t think this last assignment’s gonna get finished… – Going back to an old hometown for a friend’s 21st – Christmas stuff starting to appear – my boyfriend for making my meals all week while I’ve been doing nothing but assignments
I LOVE accents. I wish I could collect them ;)
☆ planning my summer wardrobe! oh how exciting!
☆ feeling strangely motivated to study; by jove, i’ve revised almost 45 chapters of grammar notes and i’m constantly glued to my various grammar handbooks
☆ with my study motivation returning, inevitably, so does my love for japan. when i’m up to my eyeballs in deadlines and homework, i just want to scream and quit and never hear anything about that fucked-up place ever again. but, thankfully, after some breathing space, it’s good to know the spark is always there, hovering in the background
☆ above all, i love LETTERS. yay!
things I love this thursday:
+ drinking coffee that’s black as night and sweet as sin really early in the morning when it’s still dark outside while planning what I’m going to wear
+ terry pratchett’s discworld books
+ my amazing “new” enormous 1980’s earrings
+ that my mother is coming to visit me in a few days!!!!
+ the L by lolita lempicka perfume
Thursdays always make me so happy. Here are some things I love!
Clean flannel sheets, Doctor Who, tall knit red-and-white slippers, Oregon Chai lattes, Masterpiece Theater’s ‘Doctor Zhivago’ soundtrack, doodling profiles of faces on lined notebook paper, my new shiny red shoes, my cello, plaid.
:)
I finally learned how to make origami cranes so they are a “major” love right now. I just can’t seem to stop from folding now though. It’s very addictive, and they are beginning to take over the house. If you check out my blog you can see some pictures of them. Other loves are my children’s kisses, the Bonnie and Clyde fashion spread in this month’s Eve (UK)(I so have to get me a beret!!), birthday chocolate, taking longs walks whilst taking lots of photos with my new camera, and the hand-bound books my mum made for me. Do you know, once you start writing what you are thankful for, it becomes quite difficult to stop – A bit like the origami!
having the house to myself (for awhile anyway) – going to the pool – the sunny warm weather – looking forward to seeing my friend’s brand new baby on Sunday – reading my new book – returning to my old doctor now that she’s back from holidays – getting an unexpected call from my dad – seeing creative people do creative things – planning outfits for future dates
being thanked. my boss came up to me this morning and told me she really appreciates me
- Sydney! I have been here for a little over a week with three friends and I’m so excited about starting all over again. – Wellington! I miss it, but I know that when I come visit in summer it will be pmppumppumping! – Drunk text messages from friends. I feel appreciated and validated in life.

(I hope the html for the hearts works.)
My new black (double-layered featherweight) turtleneck from jjill.com – Not much brings me more comfort clothes-wise than a black turtleneck, and it’s been a few years since I’ve had one. It feels like a warm hug ♥ You and Your blog – I’m constantly checking for updates. I can’t help but smile when I read your posts for the first time. ♥ NaNoWriMo – Even if I’m not doing anywhere near as well as I would like. ♥ Finally getting a good night’s sleep for once ♥ Tea – Always good. ♥ Pride and Prejudice 2005 – So pretty.
I love accents too. :)
I really love your new purple hair. It’s so pretty. :)
aaaaiiiiiiii!!!! i love that comme des garcons bunny hat too!! love love love.
and oh man, that video… how many times did she hump him? wow.
I love the pink and glitter garland in photo 14 and now I want one!
I love that I am going home for Christmas
I love that Tokyo Design Festa is this weekend.
I love that is almost the weekend because my friends are coming over for dinner tomorrow night
and I love the new winter dress I bought to day in Charcol and pink!
I love accents also, but I pick them up really easily and that is quite embarrassing. When I spend the day with German friends I come home saying ` I don`t want to go to Vork tomorrow!`
Today I love:
- making a Look Book
- making n’ baking birdies, giraffes, elephants and cupcakes out of my little sister’s modelling clay
- painting awesome designs onto $3 t-shirts with fabric paint
- finding you, Gala!
you say you love accents!
I have No accent so i can pretty much sound like what i want!
most people think Im from NZ,Aus,and the US….its cool :D
Being able to wear lots of warm clothes in bright sunshine and cold weather!
Finding vintage hats and turbins for £2 in charity shops!
The new macro lense my boyfriend gave me for my birthday – the colour and detail it produces is amazing!
Looking forward to the new sewing course I start next week
Seeing our cat curled up on her new radiator cat bed :)
lobster fights! n’awff!
my TiLT list:
*my friend ivy and her ability to be positive, compassionate and honest in the face of negativity
*my friend ange and our constant inspiring dialogues about how we’re going to change the world for the better
*black and silver masks that exude mystery..
*singing and dancing around like a loon (like a loon i tells ya!)
*amazing colourful flower arrangements in a local florist shop (lotus flowers, orange tinged calla lillies & hot pink dahlias!!)

I know the girl in two of those photos! (flickr: bicyclebicycle). she’s gorgeous, indeed. :D
- food markets! i adore how the vendors make everything look soooo good. most particularly, the boqueria market in barcelona.
- i got a new pair of ankle boots last sunday. they’re like those marc jacobs white winter booties in his fall/winter collection 2007, except they’re black and without the hefty price tag! i’m absolutely in love with them!
- i confuse people in britain and malaysia all the time in terms of my accent: people in malaysia think i have a pseudo-british accent, and people in britain think i have an american accent! in actuality, i do have a malaysian accent, hehe.
Today I love mini-dresses, my dog and her new hair cut (she looks aweful, but is funny), Iron Maiden, the end of semester, deciding to quit microeconomy class (yaaaaaaaay!!), Soda Stereo’s song “Juegos de seduccion” (translates “seduction games”, the sexiest song about role-playing sex, you should listen to it Gala, though I don’t know if you know spanish xD), my boyfriend’s beard, my nanny, little kids in the metro I smile to and smile me back…
the list goes on! I’m so happy right now :D
a long time ago i was traveling in europe with a girl from Australia who said she just despised aussie accents (she’d cringe when we’d run into other australian tourists) and loved hearing us americans talk. soo bizarre to me since being american i have no idea what our accent is and of course feel we don’t have one, and because aussie accents are amazing and entertaining! there’s a reason we use a lot of aussies and brits here for our advertising spokespeople! plus you guys use adorable words like ‘fossick’ (??wtf??)
Oh, btw, accents are awesome. All the girls I know (including me) die for some british accent (SEXY). Funny thing, cause we all talk spanish xD! I have no idea of how the chilean accent sounds, I know we talk really fast and weird, but I can’t know…Spanish accent (from Spain obviously) is pretty cool too. Brazilian portuguese is sexy too hahaha
Extra things I love Today:
Feeling better. Finally my flu is succumbing to my medicines.
Being able to wake up late, if 7:30 is late for you.
Photoshop, I love changind the colour of my hair and eyes and make signatures and avatars for forus and all that stuff. It makes me relax.
Domino. I played yesterday and found out that I’m still good at it ;).
Cupcake mailing list. The perfect way to start my Thursday.
Kisses.
I love the fact that tomorrow i´m finishing high school =)
today we are having a barbacue. pretty amazing =)
and i also love the new shoes i bought for my graduation night! 10 cm high!
I LOVE:
-My friend Jamie, whose birthday is today (and will be celebrated con mucho gusto)
-blueberry oatmeal
-this glorious, sunny but not too hot weather!
-heart-to-hearts with my roomie, even if one made me late for class today :)
-Nation of Poetry! I saw them perform last night and they are just AMAZING. Good for the mind and soul and inspiration.
i agree with alicia – you should do a tutorial on false eyeashes! I love the audrey hepburn look, but i can’t get them right. i feel like my eyes (and false eyelashes) are going to pop out… =(
I did not know that Mary Kate was in Weeds!
My friend has been insisting that I catch up on the seasons I have missed.
Now I definetly have a reason to burrow in my sofa with my eyes glued to the TV. Haha.

Bye the way, I really enjoy reading your blog. :D
I’m loving that on Thursdays I’ve been watching amazing foreign films with friends… It’s something I really look forward to. Then on Fridays we try a new restaurant. This week it’s a little Creole place that just opened up downtown.
I’m also loving that this Thursday I get my new macbook… too exciting.

I do not love waking up with a cold and a horrible headache! :(
My new haircut totally makes up for it though.

Going to Wendy’s and asking for supashakes in strange flavours that they don’t have. For example, a vanilla milkshake with bits of smashed up crunchy and banana icecream floating in it. Amazingly evil.

I know it’s Friday now, but I couldn’t get online. So in retrospect, I love…. * L perfume by Gwen Stefani (and L perfume by Lolita Lempicka still) – it’s a really different smell for me, but it goes well with white clothes.
*Misery Boutique on K’ Road Auckland. Nadia who works there is one of the sweetest people I’ve met here so far.
*The ‘warm-eyes’ palette by MAC. It’s beautiful in itself and the colours make my eyes GLOW!!
*I love your Carousel and Things I Love Thursday features Gala. The orderliness of your site is so satisfying!
* The free download from emofree.com, I’ve tried it on a few things and got this big emotional swell after my first round – really into looking more into this subject.
*Complining a style wish-list – due to my travels I have 2 dresses, 2 pairs of jeans and 6 tops and that is ALL! I get to start from scratch YAY!
*Not having to flat-hunt anymore! My lovely boyfriend and I have a flat to move into right in the City Centre and it’s got BIG windows :-)
This positive thing really does work. I didn’t realise how many things I was enjoying just now, was too busy huffing :-P
Writing an inspiration list. Three things that inspire me yesterday. :) 1. lip stain. 2. being an individual hippy in a school full of slightly mean… girls who wear fluro t shirts saying… this aint no disco. SPEW. they look at me and laugh. but i comfort myself with the fact they look the same and therefore boring. 3. Drama classes if i died and went to heaven i pray it is a theatre. Gala Darling i would like to say you are quite possibly the most marvellously gorgously quirky person i have ever seen (in a photo)not only this but You inspire me thank you. when i found this website it was like god sent it to me… i was considering becoming one of these fluro wearing girls. :) no way! this is what im loving right now :)
Lobster fights! I’m going to try that.
Things I Love Saturday (am just a little late!) * mineral water with lots of ice * mangoes and bananas * dancing to Kanye West in my loungeroom * making my Christmas list for my Mum * hot pink or bright orange nailpolish * random kisses from friend’s children * beautiful new underwear * dreaming of Missoni cushions for my bed! * the guy at the takeaway who knows how to make my favourite sandwich * eBay (I’m loving you again!)
things i lurrve right now:
freerice.com— its fun to just sit in front of the computer and expand my vocabulary..
the big concert i went to recently, and the fact that i met someone who i hadn’t seen in ages there!
my huge rainbow scarf from benetton
brightly coloured tights
freshly made smoothies in the morning
The Penguin Dictionary of Modern Humorous Quotations— always makes me laugh
Stephen Fry’s The Ode Less Travelled

Has anyone tried Yorkshire tea? That stuff is lush!
