this one's a serious one sorry

A friend of mine has asked me to promote this
http://how2savealife.tumblr.com/
It's regarding bone marrow/stem cell donations for people suffering from leukemia and other blood related diseases. I'm not sure why its so important to her; but I'm afraid I might have figured out why. Its an incredibly worthy cause; you have to be 18 to sign up in Australia here, the website is this in America and either The Anthony Nolan Trust or the British Bone Marrow Registry in Britain.
I'm still unsure if I'm eligible to donate once I turn 18 because I was born in England; and in Australia there are regulations against blood and blood product donations if you lived in the UK for 6 months or more between 1987 and 1995 or something. I think I can donate marrow, but not blood.
And I will.
As soon as I possibly can.

as of late

inspiration has made me reconsider the direction i'm taking here. I feel this more becoming an actual blog than just a list of things i like; which is ok with me.
greta is giving me blog envy.

note to self: stop making all the titles sentences carried on in the first line.
so we didn't win swimming today; but we definitely won most enthusiasm..thanks to the year 12s, 11s, some 10s and literally 2 year 9s.
yay dryads!
maybe if all our bathers looked like this we might have won?

beach blanket bingo bathing suit: $89.99

kaleidoscope swimsuit: $149.99

I'm in love with the second one. Both prices are in USD though, and way out of my price range for swimsuits I'll probably be too afraid to wear into water. They come from here if you have a larger budget than me.

Happy shopping! Also, might I suggest that wherever you are, if you're in school and your school has a "house" system; get involved. Its taken me way too long and now I will only have had 2 years of spending so much time with the amazing girls. It really is the best thing ever. Just go for it.

clothesies

printed singlet style dress with ruffle down the front. available in blue, red or floral. $220 from Joveeba.


I'm so jealous of anyone with money right now. I'm trying so hard to scrape together enough money to buy soup mix for lunch, and someone is going to buy this dress. Waaaaaah :(   

I found it on the estile website. I want to cry; even reduced to $99 by ny friends over there I still can't afford it. One day

im sorry ok!

I know its been way too long but I've been in France and do you really want me to recommend an entire country?

Actually....that isn't a bad idea. So France; located in Europe; variable weather conditions and variable inhabitant attitudes. Do it.
