ear people, today I am not very inspired at all. This is mostly to do with going to bed late last night which was very silly. Also, not very patient (quelle surprise). Also also, I suffered a budget fail over lunch time and overspent on fabric. I am getting straight back on that bandwagon though - I only have one thing that I'm committed to doing this week, and I will just have to keep my spending to the bare minimum. That's just the way it is, y'all.

♥ Looking like: My look for today is Naughty Librarian - sensible, yet sexy (mrrowh). I'm wearing a brown and black checked mini skirt that I made myself and a black vintage tee-shirt with silver sequined leaves sewn on it. Heavy tights and black patent leather lace-up flats.
Also, my skin is pretty crappy at the moment (I rather thrashed it during the weekend) and I'm letting it effect my happiness a little. I think I'll go and do something wicked exciting to make myself feel more upbeat. Coffee, perhaps?
♥ Listening to: Stephen Fry read me Harry Potter audio books. Oh, yes please. Don't mind if I do experience Stephen whispering sweet audiobooks into my ears. Oh yes Stephen, you are my secret - and unlikely - lover.
Much as I love audiobooks and geeking about, I think that I would like to find some newish music to listen to soon ... I need to broaden my horizons. I think I'll get the Boy to recommend me some and thoroughly overhaul my iPod. Yeah! iPod purge is awesome good time fun!
♥ Fad a la Mode: Making my own knickers. I've been working on this for weeks. It's a bit stressful but mostly fun. I can't wait to succeed! I have plans to make a whole post about the mission, so watch this space for news and stuff. And endless ranting about PLACKETS and GUSSETS, two of the finest words in the English language, if I do say so.
♥ Watched this Week: The Tudors (awesome) and the third series of Underbelly. What do these two series have in common? Sex and death, people, sex and death (and BOOBS). The Tudors rocks my world.
♥ Reading: Lipstick Jungle by Candace Bushnell. I'm reading it for book club (I think I've mentioned this) but I seriously cannot get excited about it. The style of writing is like that of Jilly Cooper; but while Jilly is awesome and rocks my world because the material she writes is dreadful and hilarious, I'm just not interested in the career woes of a bunch of unsympathetic uber super New York women like the main protagonists in Lipstick Jungle.
Anyways, we'll see. I'll probably fall in love with it by the fourth chapter or something and then be horribly embarrassed about liking something I've so openly panned.
♥ Webreading: I've been trying to keep myself enthusiastic about saving and have been reading a bunch of thrifting and saving and inspiration blogs. You should maybe look at Shopaholly and Thrifty Chick pour examplar. Also, I find Unclutterer can help to keep me on the straight and narrow. Oh, and I've really liked a bunch of posts on the Happiness Blog lately: 8 Tips for Boosting Your Energy Right Now and 5 Common Happiness Mistakes. Especially that bit about "treating yourself".
♥ Anticipation: Finally completing a good pair of undies; baking pie with my new flat mate tonight (boysenberry, rhubarb, apple); upcoming trip to Christchurch!
