When I was a little girl, my mother had this puffy baby blue gown that I used to always dream of fitting into. Now that I can, I wouldn’t dream of wearing it anywhere other than for a costume. And with that, I bring you today’s theme: Cinderella. The dress may not be fashionable by…

Day 14: Librarian
I’ve hit the two-week mark and I’m not over it yet – YAY! Only 24 fortnights to go (doesn’t sound too hard when you put it like that) Now let’s get better acquainted….with the dewy decimal system and today’s theme: librarian. So rather than go for a modern librarian – SNORE – I’ve opted for a…
Day 13: OutKast
As submitted by P.Diddy I have taken on the theme of OutKast. My inspiration, the Hey Ya film clip. If you hadn’t guessed it already I’m the back-up singers in the jockey gear. Please note that until this point I have not purchased any item for any of the themes addressed so far (I am both ashamed and proud of…
Day 10: Harajuku
Harajuku is just plain fun. It’s basically pretending you’re 7 and given the chance to dress yourself. And yes, I’ve used two colours for my lipstick.

Day 9: A Night At The Roxbury
Tonight at Teen Spirit the theme is “A Night at the Roxbury”, one of my favourite films from the 90’s. I’ve gone for a mix of the main characters Steve and Doug with the shiny blue shirt, but then mixed in a little bit of 90’s minx with the black mini and standard brown lippy. One last…
Day 8: Joey Jeremiah
If you were a kid growing up in the 90’s in Australia, then there is a high probability that you have watched Degrassi Junior High. A teen drama that followed the lives of a group of students in junior high tackling adult issues. That, or you saw the remake they did a couple of years ago that…
Day 7: Americana
July 4th: Independence Day. No better fitting theme for today than Americana. So as per my Canada Day homage, I have decided to dress up as my favourite fictional American character: Rex Kwon Do from Napoleon Dynamite. In the paraphrasing of such a great man: “Take a look at what I’m wearing, people. You think anybody wants a roundhouse kick to the…
Day 6: Space
Space, the final frontier, but only the sixth theme. July 2nd is World UFO Day, so it seems I’m a day late…but then again we have yet to build a flying car, so we’re used to being behind. Deal with it. I’ve gone for a space cadet look, ergo the dog tags. Later Vader. …
Day 5: Stepford Wife
Today I am lucky enough to be a contestant on Ready Steady Cook. Ready Steady Cook is an Australian cooking competition show that pits two teams against each other, Team Capsicum and Tomato – consisting each of a professional chef and an audience member. Both teams aim to create the best entrée, meal and dessert…
Day 4: Canada Day
The 1st of July is Canada Day. So what better way to spend it then dressed up as my favourite fictional Canadian character: Robin Scherbatsky…or rather, Robin Sparkles. For anyone who isn’t an avid fan of How I Met Your Mother, Robin Sparkles is the teen-aged Robin Scherbatsky’s alter ego which she used during her time as a…
