well ma,

i busted out my summer dress today. i've seriously worn this dress for the majority of the hot months in the past few years. i know you hate/d it because of the low low neck and i'd hate for you to say "i told you so" but i put it on this morning and agreed. so i've hitched it up to a bit more of a modest level, i haven't stitched it yet but it's going to the top of my sewing pile so it can be ready and waiting for when it actually gets hot.



do you still hate it?

i straightened my hair for the first time since getting it cut, it looks heaps nice, might do it more often. theo's coming over in about half an hour and we're going to play nintendo, eat ice cream (and italian?), watch a movie and more than likely have a pretty good time. a nice contrast to the horrible assignment i'm trying to get done.

love,
beth.

mama miaaa.

technically it's a sunday but i just got home from harlan's thing.



i wore those shoes you hated but then the first time i wore them somebody took my photo for some fashion thing, so in your face! hahah i got complimented on them tonight too. i like it when you're wrong because it's harrrdly ever.



it was a fun night. hung out with andi and some guys from high school, reminiscing and what not. want to hear some gossip? apparently jemieka has a baby. like a live human being that she birthed and is now responsible for. word on the street is she called it felix.





i better get some beauty sleep, big day of uni work tomorrow.

hey ma,

not much to report. i'm going to work on an assignment all day today. hopefully. i had the best morning, we just lay around and listened to music and played nintendo and laughed about things.

i'm not going anywhere at all, wearing one of theo's sweaters and an american apparel tshirt dress. can't wait for my next order to arrive.



last night we went... out. we went to the beat for a few minutes and somebody told us to stop being so straight. came home pretty early, i got tricked into getting a cheeseburger meal, dieting is hopeless with this guy.



that's us before we went out. drinking some classy oj and vodka out of huge glasses. and a couple of shots of him looking massively cute.





i told you we were both happy hahah. i think i'll go out for harlan's birthday tonight but it won't be a big one at all.

love,
beth

hey ma,

i'm off to work. i actually made lunch, waking up more than fifteen minutes before i have to leave works well for me. i'll probably still be late though.



i'm wearing a dress from work. the best brand i've seen come in, nobody's really buying it though, maybe it's too... something. i'd probably pair my red stockings with it normally, or at least a way more opaque black pair. work is kind of where i get to play around with things.

i think theo and i are going out tonight, or doing something anyway. i need to go to the gym and grocery shopping too. busy busy little b.

i updated my myspace, check it out.

love,
beth.

hey ma,

i had a day off today. i aimed to get my tax done and clean the kitchen. i did my tax but ended up meeting andi for lunch, which stretched to almost five hours in the city. at least i got my tax done, i'm only getting like $460 back. = (



i didn't have time to take a photo before i left the house so i tried to snap one on my walk to the car, as you can see below. hahah i snapped the above one when i got home.



it's super hard to get shots of shoes, how do people do it? anyway, i got these boots yesterday and i think they're great. a bit different. patent and suede, the contrast isn't as harsh in real life. i brought it back with a patent waist belt that i awkwardly wore on the side of my hip with my shirt tucked into the thinner side.



i don't actually have any news. i've been trying on one-piece swimsuits, my favourite is $250, worth it? eeeek, there's nothing nice out though... i guess i should wait for the second wave. not a peep from james. no weekend plans, i'm going to try to catch up with ange. work tomorrow!

love,
beth

ma!

they're here! my zipper socks! they're so amazing. i'm going to call good guys and see if they have a cable for my camera because this is beyond awesome.




it was hard to get a good photo of them, i'm actually falling over. i'm too impatient for the ten second self-timer but not quick enough for the two second. i'm not sure whether i'd prefer to wear the zip at the back or the front.

i tried in the garden which was a failure too but thought i'd chuck this one in so you could see how it's all going. lots of green and long long grass. you can probably see the huge gap in my new dress (actually a shirt), slutty or sexy, only time will tell.



i bought a lot of nice things today, you'd give me one of those part disapproving, part proud looks. when i'm happy i shop and when i'm sad i shop and i've been a hell of a lot of both recently, so i'm shopping. at least my room is still relatively clean.

i think i'm happy with my haircut, it's hard to tell before you have it to yourself for a few days. oh ma, life is grannnd. theo's coming over later and i think we're going to go get dinner someplace, my "kitchen" is an absolute mess, seriously disgusting. i'd actually pay to have someone else clean it. but i've promised i'd clean it and cook for him sometime so i suppose i will.

dear ma,

oh man i'm so incredibly tired. i went to the gym earlier and did this class called cardio box and it destroyed me. i could barely lift my arms to shampoo my hair afterwards, which i had to do because i'm getting my haircut tomorrow. i can't believe you used to box, you must have been so fit.

i went to uni early this morning to work on an assignment (and see theo, shhh) but then i realized it wasn't due for another week so i really didn't do much at all. we went to the pancake manor for lunch. HIS idea (is this guy perfect for me or what?) but i got to choose the flavour, amazing. i'm so smitten.

and thennnn, i saw james (my exboyfriend). for closure or whatever, i told him i couldn't be with him and he cried a bunch, said some nice things, like that i deserved to be happy etc. etc. then ran away. literally. so yeah, i'm 99% sure that's the end of that.





how cute is this outfit? i'm pretty into the whole nautical thing with the sailor father and all but it's not too kitschy, at least in my opinion. the belt's new... actually all of it's new but the belt is my favourite new thing of them all. i'm going to get a lot of wear out of the skirt too.

i miss you heaps. hope all is well.

love,
beth.

dear ma,

a pretty casual look today, it's kind of like i rolled out of my boyfriend's bed and went straight to uni, which is spot on.



remember hypercolour shirts? i bought this shirt on sale at bardot because it reminded me of them. american apparel is actually making hypercolour shirts now and i was so tempted to buy one but they're a bit pricey for something i'd hardly ever wear. so i guess this will do for my nostalgia factor, i hope it doesn't look too much like bad tie-dye.



dinner was heaps nice. we were one of those sickening couples that hold hands and gaze into each others eyes across the table. afterwards we had cold rock and then just went back to his place to watch a movie.

today we had lunch at this vietnamese place, i had a pretty delic basil chicken dish. then he bought me some chocolate, i was attempting to go two weeks without chocolate, i lasted two days hahah. how's the garden coming along?

love,
beth.

dear ma,

just a quick hello. as you already know, i'm going over to theo's house, we're going to go out for dinner although i'm not really sure where. you know, us crazy kids and our going on dates and what not.





i'm wearing my american apparel interlock pencil skirt and an old gripp shirt. the belt is stolen from another dress (the one i wore to dinner at efes) and i resisted the charm of my usual array of necklaces for a simple bracelet.

love,
beth
