Instagram

As bad as I am at blogging regularly, I’m actually really good at keeping up with Instagram (I’m bronnyzig if you guys want to be Instagram buddies). So here’s what I’ve been up to latey:


We went out to Tom’s parents’ house in the country for the weekend a couple of weeks ago. This is their cutie kitty Ollie.


And their cutie sheep. This is Mrs Wooly.


On our way home from the country we stumbled across an abandoned motel.

I mastered the sock bun.

This is the sight that I see every time I leave the house. Bye bye Zigmond!

I’ve also sort-of mastered curls.

My street is looking very Autumny at the moment

Bored at work? Take photos of yourself in the bathroom.

Bored while waiting for food? Take photos in the mirror

We introduced Zigmond to one of possums in my front garden the other night.

Not the greatest start to a little Saturday daytrip.

But eventually we made it to our destination and were greeted with this! The sheep’s name is Timmy. This combined with hanging out with Mrs Wooly has me wanting a pet sheep.

I’m not sure if I’ve shared any photos of my home on here, so here’s a bit of my lounge room.


I went to a car show yesterday and hung out with the DeLorean.


And last but not least – all the ingredients you’ll need for the easiest and tastiest pumpkin and sweet potato soup.

Mustard & 2 Min Beehives

Mustard & 2 Min Beehives



jacket: angry young & poor (DIY studs, courtney love buttons/badges via etsy), tights: c/o we love colors, dress: gift from a friend but originally ASOS, boots: ASOS.

In case you were wondering, yes my hair is up in Tavi’s famous 2 minute beehive (so quick! so easy!) which is my new favourite 3rd-day-hair hairstyle.

Instagraming it up

Instagraming it up

Since it wasn’t exactly practical to go to Washington after watching too much Twin Peaks, I decided to go up into the mountains last night.

The view is pretty amazing.

I’ve been attempting to learn how to curl my hair. I think I need to invest in some hot rollers.

I wore this on Easter Sunday. I’ve been doing a few bad-quality outfit photos on Instagram when I can’t be bothered carrying my heavy DSLR around.

Tom and I went to see This Must Be The Place and dressed as twins.

I went up to Hepburn Pool on Good Friday for what was probably the last really hot day of the year. It’s a pool that was made in the 1930s by using concrete to create a dam wall type thing in an existing natural body of water. It hasn’t been used as a public pool since the late 1960s but it still has water running through it and you can still swim in it. They held the Victorian swimming championships there in the 1930s.

The Easter bunny visited my office and I got a blurry photo with him.

Little sleepy Garfield.

I don’t think a bowl of chilli fries ever looks especially photogenic but these ones from The Gasometer were the best chilli fries I have ever tasted so they deserved a photo.

Zigmond: the cutest cat to ever live.

Some new reading material from the Kill City crime bookstore.

I’m excited that Instagram is now on Android, so many of my friends are on there now! If you guys want to be friends my username is bronnyzig.

Heaps Cool Stuff: Bloggers Edition (Part 2)

Heaps Cool Stuff: Bloggers Edition (Part 2)

I did a blog post a few months ago featuring links to some of my favourite bloggers (Heaps Cool Stuff: Bloggers Edition) and it was pretty well received so I thought I would share some more blogs I’ve been loving lately.

Ashley writes the blog This Is Ashley Rose. She is clearly Jennifer Connelly’s babely twin sister or something, idk. She owns the online vintage clothing store Studded Rose Vintage, lives in Melbourne and frequently dresses awesomely.

Broadist is Caroline and Roxy’s personal style blog but it’s also so much more. They post weekly lists of ‘some babes I liked on the internet this week’, their own outfits and reblog enough feminist quotes to make Broadist feel like some kind of wonderful online girl gang.

Katie Merchant blogs on Thank You, OK and posts photos of delicious food, her beautiful home and various cool/inspirational things. She used to live in Seoul, now she lives in Toronto and she also has probably the most perfect hair I have ever seen.

Cute dogs, a cute cat, crafts, motherhood-stuff, weekly manicures, you’ll find all this and more on Unicorn Parade. I have known Tanie online for a really long time, like four or five years I think and I can safely say that she is really awesome and you will enjoy reading about her life (she will even drunkly live tweet Twilight movies for your entertainment). Tanie also has a great Etsy store where she will make you a glitter banner saying pretty much anything you like (even feminist killjoy).

Arched Eyebrow is the blog of British babe Bethany. She posts great outfit posts and gets involved in stuff like Burger Queen.

High Socks is Kristin and basically I kind of love Kristin because she buys great couches and puts photos of Beavis and Butthead in lockets. She also op shops (thrifts) like a pro and dresses really well.

Chances are if you’ve been blogging/reading blogs for a while you’ve probably come across Kaelah (her readership is seriously enormous) and generally I try to link to smaller/lesser known blogs but I couldn’t leave her out because she is one of my absolute favourite bloggers. Unapologetic about her somewhat repetitive style (if you find something that you love go with it, if you ask me) and love of ugly shoes I find her to be one of a very few ‘famous’ bloggers who actually kind of tell it as it is (even more so on her tumblr). She has great taste in everything (I can’t wait to see photos from her up-coming wedding), owns her own business, has amazing hair and posts multiple times a week so there’s always something new to read on her blog.


Dresses and Snacks
is just that – cute dresses, delicious snacks and the most adorable little dachshund you’ve ever seen.
