Orange Is The New Black

These photos were all taken last weekend, because I am now back in the prison they call school. Not next week but the week after is my exam week and so study has consumed my life. This is also on top of all the other dance, acting and singing classes so I am very sorry but blogging has taken a slight backseat. This won't be for long however, once exams and end of year concerts are done I'll be all yours for the Summer Holidays. These photos were actually taken when I went to the the Fleet show in the city, I'm wearing a orange valleygirl crop top, denim pinafore from valleygirl, jellies from cotton on, sunglasses from Dangerfield and necklace from pompom and co.

Also guys please follow me on Bloglovin it would mean so much to me as I really want to reach my girl of 100 followers

Pretty in Pink

Today's pictures were mainly taken at the local library on my digital camera. Yay! finally managed to get it working. I'm trying to enjoy these last few days of holidays before I go back to school and exams. Sigh... Anyway, apart from trying to desperately catch up on study and holiday homework, I've been shopping, beaching and blogging.

The top today was a recent buy that I love from Valleygirl, skirt from Brandy Melvilee, shoes from hype and necklace from Diva. I don't think you guys can see it to clearly but the necklace is a series of golden skulls. My family says it reminds them of a Indiana Jones movie. But I love it and I like to add a touch of grungey vibe to the otherwise pretty in pink outfit. Hope you guys have a great weekend!

Trending Up: This weeks trends according to me

1) Pink- I love pink, it makes me happy

2) Healthy Food- going on a bit of a health food kick, my best friend is super into healthy eating so she kind of dragged me along and I'm hooked. Recently up the road they opened a new food place designed especially for people like us. Everything is either or a combination of organic, vegetarian, vegan, whole food, wholegrain etc.

3) Electric, colorful tees- When looking through my wardrobe earlier this week I realised that 99% of it was black or white. For a couple of years black and white was pretty much all I wore, I was really into the grunge look. Now I'm kind of more looking for a brighter look (hence pink, see above). Thus the shop for some awesome coloufuful t-shirts came about. These ones are from The Birdcage Boutique and the one below it from Escapology worn by the beautiful Isabella from Views of Now. Completely and utterly in love. 

4) Cameras- I figured out how to charge my camera. Yay! Photos taken by it coming soon.

5) This hair- I want to dye and cut my hair like this so bad

Finally I have a couple of questions for you guys, I'm thinking of changing my blog's name is Yesterday&Tomorrow, thoughts? Any suggestions? Let me know in the comments. Plus go and follow my Instagram @themoonanditscraters

Around the World

Today is a day for reading, emerging yourself in the magical world that is a book. Yesterday my Mum-bless her- brought me Grace Coddington's memoir definitely a good read and I can highly recommend it. Another book that I am itching it get my hands on is Alexa Chung's new book 'It'. Having only glanced briefly at it in the bookstore I can't say much for it except for the fact it has a pretty cover.

Your Never Fully Dressed Wihtout A Good Hat

I don't understand while not enough people wear hats. Hats have everything going for them, they:

1) Shield your face from the sun- News flash people- skin cancer, melanoma etc. Need I say more?

2) Disguise bed head- who actually has time to do their hair in the morning, hats are an instant full-proof disguise

3) Create the appearance of you being someone distinguished- when you're wearing a hat you hold your head high, hats increase your sense of well-being and importance, people will always follow the person wearing the hat

So from here on in the campaign to bring hats back in to the fashion limelight is back with vengeance. Some of my personal favourites include:

1) The Bowler- stylish and suave this hat has been around for centuries and will be for very more. This hat is not just for men or the daringly stylish, bowler hats are actually suprisingly easy to pull off

2) Straw or Felt Sun hat- I love them both. Felt is more hipster and in at the moment but I prefer Straw. This hats are awesome they both are stylish and protect from sun (see above)

3) Cloche hat- take me to the 1920s, the Great Gatsby brought these babies back lets not let them get away again

4) Beanies- are beanies even hats? Well they cover your head and that's good enough for me.

My Cactus's Name is Bob

I don't have greenfingers. And I mean that both literally and figuratively. When I was little my Mum tried to encourage me to grow things. She picked the simplest thing she could think of. Mint. So I had my mint and I had my little bit of earth. On the first day when I had to actually plant the Mint, I found a worm, freaked out and never came back again. 

This was the first of many traumatic and scar-inducing gardening experiences, that I'm sure will result in years of therapy in the future. However, I am willing to attempt to overcome this previous experiences. I intend to grow a cactus.

Cactus's are great. They are simple, minimal care, prickly (as to prevent against unwanted younger siblings) and they use minimal amounts of soil and what soil they do use you can buy in a pretty, worm-free bag. It's a win win situation. Plus Cactus's are cool, Cactus's are fashionable, everyone wants a Cactus. Right?

See! I told you they were cute. So If you email me at claireholland2@bigpond.com you can get one of these awesome cactus's (cacti, cactusus?!?!) in  a bucket, with lace on it ($35). Trust me they are way cool and awesome decorations for either your home or garden. If you're feeling particularly adventurous you can also get a Aztec Skull T-shirt ($20) or a Painted Tea Light Holder complete with twine (2 $15, 4 for $25). These are all awesome bargains and it would fantastic if you guys could shoot me an email and order something.

Lots of Love
