Everything Must Go!

 I like a bit of clutter, it gives a nice shabby, lived-in, genius-at-work feel however I dislike not being able to find anything.

This is a long time coming but Everything Must Go!

 I started to clean up my room 3 years but then decided that moving to Glebe with housemates would be a better option.  Then I had a space problem in Glebe – it could not contain my movie collection! To solve the problem I started to deliberately leave movies at my boyfriend’s house, then movies turned into cds, my shoe collection and book collection. All that and I still forgot my toothbrush!

I know, I know I could just stop buying things but I can resist everything except a sale!

Anyway I’m trying this whole clutter-free thing and I’m getting rid of everything thats inessential to me;  you’ll find my things cluttering eBay’s online auctions.  Visit:

Then maybe I’ll find my genius or Bikini Kill cd when the mess has cleared.

Things I have on auction:

 The Bell Jar Clutch

My friend Michaela is a big reader, she’ll read anything except Catcher in the Rye again. She also lent me her copy of Sylvia...the movie about Sylvia Plath.  I really hated the movie probably because I really really hate Gwyneth Paltrow. She is so fucking annoying.  

 I read The Bell Jar when I was a teenager holidaying in NYC and I was so depressed.  I was on holidays with my family. Reading the Bell Jar at the time and at that age I felt like my world was getting bigger and smaller at the same time but now rereading The Bell Jar – it leaves me kind of deflated.

When I saw this Bell Jar clutch by Black Friday, it renewed my interest again. Who knew suicide could be so chic?*  It’s even big enough to carry my copy of The Bell Jar!

*Oops I think I may have said something offensive but my blog has a readership of zero so zero complaints.

Aqua Zimmermann Tassel Bag

Apparently tassels are in and I know this because Shop Til You Drop magazine told me so in their October issue. This is a magazine you really buy for the ads and not the articles. Shit! It’s probably smarter to read the contents of your toilet paper than how awesome Harem pants are. From behind it looks like you’ve dropped a heavy load in your pants...that can’t feel right.

Anyway not that I take to trends but all this Shop Til You Drop  information must have made its way into my brain subconsciously when I bought this bag from Zimmermann.  I liked it but like a lot of my stuff I never got around to using it.

Vintage Roma Coin Purse

Another trend people are warming to is the purse/bag as a necklace as seen in the Sportsgirl catalogue below. I can see the efficiency as it has 2 functions; it's two accessories for the price of one! 

I don’t know why I have this but I found it behind the heater and I think it’s probably a kid’s bag which I did not realise it at the time when I bought it. That aside, not only is it a purse for girls, you can use it as a coin purse or necklace. It’s multi-purpose and made in Italy. Score!

 

As you’ll find in future entries eventually, I detest trends and most of the so-called fashionable and stylish people are boring and they’re probably assholes. I don’t like overtly stylish people or total try hards; I like ideas – creative, ridiculous and dangerous, a bold element they work into their outfit and a fearless approach to presentation.  

And fortunately I have never succumbed to the Harem pants trend, never ever. I respect Aladdin too much.
