And then you say hey, I bought you flowers

Just a few little snippets (there's laods more to come!) of Helgastock 2013....

Fark me, what a gloriarse bender it was, and I met some simply divoon peoples!

I'm still getting over it.....

....and then I'm gonna love you completely....

Lights are gonna find me shining like the sun

And here I am, home again after a tremendous Helgastock 2013!!!

I have loads of random pix to sort through, and pix to take of all the goodies I bought, so I can show them off!

In the meantime, here's some pix of what I wore to a dinner at our awesome friend Dave's the Saturday before I left for Helgastock....

Frock-ophopped at Helgastock 2011! 'Twas a maxi, but I'm much happier with it as a mini!

Headband-also opshopped at Helgastock 2011!

Sequin clutch-from the gorgeous Vix

Pink fishnet tights-retail (somewhere in the States)

Shoes-retail, Las Vegas

Earrings-from darling Leisa

Brooches-the top one is from my Sarah, the left one was thrifted in Truth or Consequences, and the other one was from a market

Cocktail rings-a mix from Sarah and Kitty

This pic was from the last Helgastock 2013 dinner in St Kilda, before going to Tenacious D........just what is that  giant dong doing stretched over our table?!

Sort of sums up Helgastock in all its smutty glory!

Just hours to go...

...until I hit the tarmac in Canberra tonight and Helgastock 2013 goes off with a bang!

I've been frantically packing, panicking, unpacking, packing.....so I'm rather behind on all your funnage out there, but I know y'all understand!

Feck only knows if I have all I need. 

Too bad if I don't!

I have time before my flights tomorrow to double check, and I'm certain-sure I'll find loads of goodies on our travels to compensate for anything I've forgotten or suddenly require!

See you in about 2 weeks, or you may see me before that if you keep up with our shenanigans over at Misfits Vintage!

I look forward to a good catch up when I get back!

All together now:

SQUEEEEEEEEEEEE!!

Now she's in purple, now she's the turtle

How lovely to prance about in the crunchy, golden Autumn leaves!

I'm sure I could wax lyrically, Nigella style, with loads of sensual pouting and deliciously raunchy metaphors........but I'd get too carried away!

I like to think I am the Queen of botched up frock adjustments, but whomever had this frock before I found it has outdone anything I could ever do.

I just can't quite work it out.

Never mind!

I've added some purple ribbon to the neckline to hide some messy stitching, and I have pressed the former pleated skirt since this wearing.

I like the colour, pattern and shape, so was happy to persevere in making it more comfortable to wear!

You last saw it here, more pastel themed, just after I scored it from a favourite opshop.
