You Need a Montage

Salto Wear

Promo time.

On the weekend myself and two friends jetsetted off to Adelaide for a quick visit. Very brief... less than 24 hours in total, from departure to arrival lounges. We swept in, rocked Adelaide to the core, then before they knew what hit them we were back on a plane home, on very little sleep. The reason for our trip? Two of our good friends who once lived with us in Melbourne have left us to go back home to Radelaide. Well, that happened a while back. But now one of them is leaving to go even further afield - NYC, the Big Apple. Plus, it was her birthday. Plus, she was holding a fashion show for her new label, Salto.
Hence, the promo.

Salto is an urban, fresh, male and female clothing line. It combines a range of tees, singlets, cardigans and dresses for both sexes. The current range is cute, fun, very wearable and the girls' pieces have a hint of sixties flavour. Pieces are currently stocked in a number of boutiques in Adelaide, and start at about $60. Despite having only just begun retail sale, the line is receiving rave reviews, and the stores are reporting that pieces are flying out the door.

Salto has it's own Facebook account, so please feel free to add the label as a friend to keep updated on all the latest news.

Below are some pics of the most recent line, as long with some snaps from the parade. Enjoy!

If you go down to the woods today....

It's been ridiculously hot in Melbourne of late, with temperatures skyrocketing to over 40 degrees. Since I've barely left the comfort of my air conditioned house (other than to escape to the comfort of the air conditioned movie theatre) I decided to make the most of a refreshing 25 degree day yesterday to organise a picnic! I've wanted to do it for quite a while, and yesterday we finally got off our butts and headed over to the Canterbury Gardens. We had all the typical picnic supplies - tartan rug, straw hamper, paper plates and cups, plus heaps of fooooooooood :) Was a lovely afternoon of gorging, then working the food off with some ball games. Followed by some serious sunbaking. Took me back to my childhood days of picnics with the family. All in all a great summer day.

blah.

uni is overrated.

today i had a lecture, followed by two 2-hour tutes.
the lecture was utterly pointless, listening to an RMIT graduate talk about her role with the Midsumma Festival.
the first tute was just for group work for an assignment, and 3 of the 5 members of our group were away, so i went to the computer labs. so much homework to do, but of course it was all at home.
the second tute was horrible. the tutor is so irritating, the people in my class are irritating (other than like 5 of them) and the exercises are boring.

overall a craptastic day at uni.

on a lighter note, check out my girl han's new blog. snaps for han starting a blog!

they grow up so fast...

photobooth. good times.

to whoever invented the Photobooth program on Apple Macs.....thankyou. that program has helped me waste hours of potentially useful time - in the morning when i can't be bothered getting myself dressed and cleaned to actually head out and do something worthwhile, in the afternoon when i should be doing homework, before leaving for a night out, and late at night when i get home. thanks to Photobooth, friends' visits to my place have been extended by an extra couple of hours, late into the night. thanks to Photobooth i'm much closer to getting those rock hard ab muscles that girls dream about. and most importantly, Photobooth has provided a chance for me and my friends to pose shamelessly, make stupid faces, take photos of ourselves with 20 different facial expressions, and has basically just satisfied our desire for gratuitous shots of ourselves. god bless the mac.

lolita, yawns and pasta bake

since i woke up today i've been incredibly exhausted... no idea why.
and sitting around in a darkish room watching lolita all arvo didn't help.

so now i'm trying to pep myself up before i head out tonight to my good friend pruey's house. GIRLS NIGHT! yay, its been so long since we've had one...but i'm shattered, because of sickness, i'll be missing out on the obligatory spread of food found at a girls' night at prue's.

no pasta bake!

shattered.

looking forward to giving my stomach muscles a workout tonight though.
here's just some of what we could expect:
