The devil's in the detail

Stacey told me to go here and watch this super cute girl's braid tutorial... 
and I always do what Stace tells me...
so I watched it and I did it... and how cute is my hair?!


 This is my latest barter frock from my fave vintage store. 
I adore the fabulous velvet ribbon details.


It was a bit too hot for a polyester maxi today but I was desperate to try it out. 
It lasted about an hour.



We came fourth at Porpoise Spit Trivia on Thursday. 
I'm so ashamed.

The young guy who runs it is so completely 
disinterested, it's hilarious. 
He starts his questions... 
"Well, I haven't got a clue why anybody would
even know this, but here's the question..."

Here are three we got wrong:

Who invented Vegemite? 

Which of the Hilton sisters is older? 

How old was Marilyn Monroe when she died?

The dress is beautiful.

I know the second two answers, but I have no clue who invented Vegemite.

I only know one of the trivia question answers but I know all about how jealous I am of that hair and how fab you look!

Roxy Indica said...

Hi, Sarah! Your hair is super cute, and this headdress is beautiful. The dress is great. The polyester is a problem, many items of years past were as hot as this dress, right? But ... much nicer than the clothes of today, sure!

Now you just need to thread some ribbon through your braid... Please try! It looks stunning as it is though, aren't you clever?
Fourth? FOURTH? How can you show your face?! As before, I know 2 and 3 but not 1.
The frock is delicious but save it for winter! Have a great weekend, darling! xxxxxxxxxx

Lovely dress - I have some similar items myself. Would be perfect in the horrible cold wind we've had today! The braiding looks great - your hair looks really thick! Shame about the trivia - maybe third time's the charm?
My answers - An Australian person, Paris and 37.
