The weekend just gone was a pretty fun one !
I went to the album launch of a local band I have seen play many times before. No matter how many times I see them though, I'm still impressed by how into it they get and how much fun the entire crowd has. They played at the Adelaide uni bar with another Adelaide punk band, Stolen Youth
I took a few photos, but again I had the wrong lens to get any great shots of the band close up, I was too busy having fun anyway :)
From their facebook page:
"After sharing the stage in various punk bands; 2009 saw four friends with similar dreams come together to write and record some of the most fun, heartdriven and diverse songs in Australian punk rock.
Drawing influence from the greater world of music, the band has managed to create a sound which clashes with many a genre; yet always carries the passion of its driving punk rock roots."
Visit their website to check out their songs or get their album on iTunes and if you're in Melbourne, Sydney or Woolongong, check out the tour dates.
The aftermath
Everyone was pretty gross and sweaty afterwards, but it was worth it :D

Logan
Today is my eldest nephews 6th birthday!!
As the youngest in my immediate family, and second youngest in the extended version (by one month) I had almost no experience with kids or babies until I accidentally watched my sister give birth to the most adorable little guy (Yup, accidentally. and yup, scarred for life!)

What I wore - Cheap outfit + New hair colour
This is what I wore today to do some shopping and have lunch with my Mum, sister and nephew. I didn't end up buying anything except some shoes for my boyfriend (when I find shoes in his size, I have to grab them, most of the time he has to custom order them online. Turns out, they were too small anyway)
Outfit Details:
Shirt- K-mart
Skirt-Target
Shoes- Big W
I always go into Traget and have a look through their reduced/ end of season clothing. Sometimes you can save a ridiculous amount on some pretty nice pieces. This skirt was reduced from something like $60 - I paid less then $10 The only problem is, every time I go in there I buy a ridiculous amount of things! My wardrobe is starting to overflow
The shirt was also really cheap one I bought from K-mart instead of going home to change after work
All together this outfit was less then $20. It makes me wonder why op-shops around my area have such high prices.
Spinning !
My shoes are cut off in these photos, but they're just basic black flats. Taking photos of yourself is hard. Posing for them without feeling super silly is harder!

p.s Check out my crazy smile eye! It always looks like I'm half winking from my lopsided smile

What I'd rather be wearing
(I lost the source of the knitted cape on Etsy. If anyone knows what it is, please let me know) xo Jodie
The Dresden Dolls
Recently my boyfriend surprised me with tickets to see a band that I adored in high school - The Dresden Dolls. He had the entire day off of work, so we went out for lunch and stopped to play arcade games before heading to the show.
We had lunch at a Mexican restaurant in Glenelg - Gringos - that a relative had recommended. The food was pretty but not that great, and I'm definitely not a fussy eater !

Cats!
Just because I think they're cute, here are some photos of the cats I live with
When I moved in, we envisioned them being best friends and curling up next to each other on the couch. A perfect photo opportunity! Sadly though, they don't get along and while they don't fight, they will hiss at one another if they suddenly realise how close to one another they are standing.
Molko (above) was named after the lead singer of the band Placebo and belongs to one of my housemates. He is such a funny cat, sometimes angry, sometimes snuggly he almost always loves getting petted with bare feet (never your hands).
Asha used to belong to my sister, but I adopter her and I'm so glad! I think she is just the cutest thing and I am, unfortunately, one of those people who thinks that anything their pet does is adorable and discussion worthy.
Her fuzzy little paws and pink nose! So cute!
The photo above was taken with instagram for the iPhone. You can follow me - username firsttooth - for more cat (and other) photos

New Bag
This morning I went shopping with my mum and ended up finding an affordable bag I like (which seems to be difficult for me. Most of the ones I am coveting are $300+ which doesn't really suit my budget right now!)
As a bonus, it was on sale. 50% off
It's by a brand I've never heard of - Cab 55
On sale now at Harris Scarfe !
I thought I might as well show you what I carry around in my bag while it's all neat and clean :)
1. Sunglasses - I can never find sunglasses that I like/ suit my face and this pair is on its last legs. They went through the washing machine. Woops
2. A sparkly little wallet to keep my customer loyalty cards that I have so many of
3.Various note books, 2012 Weekly planner, pen
4. iPod Nano
5.Fake Jimmy Choo purse from Indonesia
6. My DS and Lego Harry Potter game years 1-4
7. Sparkly zip up purse
8. My glasses - I am meant to wear these all the time, but the lenses got scratched and it drives me nuts. I still like to carry them around with me though, just in case. I find it especially hard to see at night, and without them I can't really tell how far away cars are when crossing the street. How dangerous !
9.Keys - George Michael key ring from his Sydney show in 2010
10.Eclipse mints - I kind of just wanted these because the tin is pink
11.Spare pen from Typo.
12.Mirror
13.Kate moss for Rimmel London - This shade really surprised me. Normally I stick to the same kind of lip colour - this one is really different but I like it alot
14.Mac mineralise skin finish Natural in Light
My mum was nice enough to buy me these shoes by Human Premium - she said she hates to see me in the old beat up flats I normally wear.
A fun morning
