Lazy weekend

This weekend was a slow burn of heat, humidity, love and relaxation. Friday night after work, Pete and I headed out to see one of our favourite bands, La Dispute, play at Fowlers Live. We caught up with our good friend Steve, who we see no where near often enough and were entertained by the raw, emotive music of La Dispute.

Saturday I worked, then eased my aching back with a quick dip at Seacliff while we watched a couple get married on the beach. The wedding had about as many guests as we will have and so was inspiring to see how simple and lovely a beach wedding can be. At night we stayed in, watched movies on TV and cuddled on the couch.

Today we had a nice, slow start to the day with pancakes and coffee. We headed to town for The Eclective, a non-traditional wedding expo which I'll review shortly over at my new, wedding-oriented blog, Wild Ocean, Calm Sea.

During the week I also received an adorable Valentine's Day card from my dear friend, Emma, who is currently living in England. I love receiving letters in the mail and was so happy to hear from her.

La Dispute gig outfit: jeans from Savers, cameo singlet from General Pants, shoes by Airflex (Betts). Note the lack of pink hair :(

Adorable card sent by Emma. 

Delicious Sunday breakfast. 

New additions

Just a quick post to share some new things.

I got another tattoo. This one is the lotus artwork from La Dispute's latest album, Wildlife. Anyone who is a fan of La Dispute knows how utterly beautiful, poetic, and often tragic, their lyrics are. I'd spent ages trying to decide which line/s to get, gave up, and decided on the lotus to sum up my love for the band and their music. Happily, I will be going to see them play at Fowlers in February.

Freshly inked.

All healed up.

Also, Pete and I exchanged early and not-so-secret Christmas gifts the other day. He bought me these amazing chunky platform heels from work (Betts) and I bought him a computer console controller thing that somehow can be used for his telescope... yep. Accord also come in black and nude and will set you back $89.99. I will post better pics involving the shoes/outfits soon!

Rust-coloured corduroy. Amazing!
