French New Wave, (Mini) Blogger Meet up

Two weekends ago, I met my lovely long time blogger friend Hayley (from livejournal) and her partner Adrian! It was my first time ever meeting a New Zealand blogger. It was super fun, and we really enjoyed their company. They are such genuinely nice people. :) I can't believe we've been friends via blogging for over a year and a half now. Gosh, we should have met them ages ago.

Earlier in the day, I decided I wanted to wear my bold blue-ish, turquoise coloured blouse. I was feeling inspired by Anna Karina, and decided to match it with my canary yellow tights. (Oh Crayola box where are you?) I love the 1960s look, and my wannabe French New Wave attire is much more age appropriate.

Meeting Hayley & Adrian!









We couldn't stop laughing about this.



We looked at a couple of books.

They'll be going on a trip around the US pretty soon! A road trip from Los Angeles to New York! I'll be making a list of things for them to do and see. Do you have any recommendations of ANYTHING?

Respect Yourself

I've been a pretty big fan of this blog So Much To Tell You for a really long while now! Turns out one of the writers will be hosting a fun Saturday night at the Library Bar. It's a place I've never been too, but it looks like so much fun!

"...if you're in Auckland, and you love the 1960s and dancing and drinking classic cocktails and books (it's at The Library Bar) and fun, then you should come."

I always wondered if Auckland had a sixties soul night.
Cue = impending homesickness and my forever wish to hang out with my good girlfriends from back home.

Friendster 2003 - 2004

I just found out that I have one month to save my Friendster profile! I can't believe it! It's fun to look back at what a nerd I am. I've dug up my old photos from 2003/2004.

True fact: I told Dave & Mark from The Killers to make a Friendster profile, and they did :) This was in their very early demo days, playing shows at Sasha's.
This is the first social networking website (see here) they made for the band back in 2003!
I'll have to blog about those good old fun days another time, but I'm obviously out of touch with those guys.


Here are my Friendster photos:

I'm on 13th street in Philadelphia, PA at a gelato shop with Philly Mark.
He took me there on a scooter! This is one of my most favourite vintage dresses (purchased in Brooklyn), and I still have it and wear it!



I'm visiting Boston here and used to have really short hair! This is just off of Newbury St.




Enids in Brooklyn, NY with Ted & Melissa 2004! I spent this really amazing summer in Philly and New York the semester before I graduated. It was the best decision I ever made since I worked for a solid 3.5 years after that!




downtown Las Vegas, admiring the vintage neon signs




And here I am with blogger Doug from Sixties Soul Blog, Christina and Joe from Lipstick and Cigarettes! :) We're at Club Underground in Los Angeles, and it was my most favourite place to go dancing. Sixties soul, indie, punk and brit pop music = the best.
