there is a light that never goes out

its funny how fashion comes and goes and then comes back again. looking at the latest bright and colourful and crazy designs from sydney fashion week has made me nostalgic about some of the things i adore and have adored for some time. so i wrote a little list and thought i'd share it with you dear friends... some things i think i will never get over include:

skulls, maybe an occupational hazard from all those efforts of studying anatomy? and perhaps something to do with my pirate obsession

studs and spikes, from my years as a wanna-be punk (at the time i was certain i was a punk)

brightly coloured hair, see above, and also my hair idol lauren conrad. gee thanks LC!!

the fact that i think i should be a hat person, and try on hats to have people tell me they look good, only to never wear them... from alex mack?? she was a hat person, i never thought i was as cool as her!

painting my nails a different colour every few days. i have rules: i can never use the same colour twice in a row, unless its black; and i can never let them become chipped to the point of looking unkempt (i have been known to be out and about and purchase polish remover to avoid this)

fashionable shoes that are impractical, rarely comfortable but oh so beautiful/interesting

consequently i have over thirty different nail polish colours, at least two bottles of nail polish remover, numerous clothing items with skulls or studs or skulls made from studs (the best combination), and have coloured my hair blue recently (peach or purple could be next, although i swore i was through with unnaturally coloured hair and threw out my hawaiian blue fudge). not to mention the shoes that i own and constantly seek to add to my collection.

see some things i am currently crushing on:

see more things i love on my pinterest.
side note: i rocked double denim last week. denim shirt, and jeans. and i loved it! i was once a child of the late 80's/early 90's and she lives on deep down!
