anyone who has read this blog for a while would know my distaste for so-called ‘fast fashion’. i don’t mean to sound snobbish; i just think there’s a lot to be said for buying quality over quantity (if only my stomach was so easily convinced…).

however, unfortunately i am not made of money, and, after this week, i will be officially unemployed (ugh: more on that later). thus, my already-very-small non-essentials budget will dwindle to zero. or less than zero, really (though i’m not going to develop some mad heroin addiction to deal with it).

thank god i love second-hand shopping; no money + no work = heaps of time to trawl the aisles of savers for bargains.

and thank god for topshop, who make clothes that are inexpensive, mostly well-made and slightly bonkers. because while i think a little-black-dress is good in theory, i’m always drawn to the not-quite-right colours and cuts that topshop do so well (why are australian high-street shops so shit?!).

and don’t get me started on those sandals in the last picture… <3

 

coffee

i have recently developed an obsession for market lane coffee at the vic market.

i don’t visit the market anywhere near as often as i should – the food selection is truly exceptional – mostly due to a reluctance to catch a tram on the weekends (some may call it laziness; each to their own). but since discovering market lane’s drip coffee (served in samantha robinson cups, no less) things have changed and i have found myself there much more frequently.

the coffee is that good.

i realise that this post probably seems as if it has been sponsored by tourism victoria (melbourne! victoria market! trams! coffee!), but really: it was just an excuse to show you these beautiful pictures…

the images above represent the current state of my torso, front and back, because i seem to have developed pityriasis rosea, which is an incredibly harmless but extremely ugly skin rash.

ew, gross. i know. too much information, perhaps. apologies. but it is a tad uncomfortable having to wear buttoned-up-collars and to-the-elbow-sleeves in 35c heat. plus, it’s not contagious, or ‘dirty’, so chill.

my doctor told me that PR (oh yes: i’m down with the lingo) usually only affects teenagers and people in their twenties, which i am not. (just, people. i’m not going senile yet).

i was slightly flattered.

by a V I R U S.

yikes.

i’m VERY easily bought, it seems…

i think the jealous curator is the best name for a blog ever.

i am jealous of that name; it’s slightly more inspired than anne louise likes.

(fact: i originally wanted to call this blog anne louise likes cheese – for absolutely no other reason than it rhymed and was pretty much the first name that came in to my head – but it was too long, meaning that the web address was going to have to be shortened to anne louise likes che. and i didn’t want it to look like i was some che guevara tshirt wearing wannabe; thus anne louise likes it was. hmm…probably could have thought that one through a little longer…).

anyway – thanks to the jealous curator – i am now also jealous of claire falkenberg, too.

these pics are mad.

 

weekend clothes

you know, i mean it in the absolutely best-possible way when i say that these are the sort of clothes i always hope to find when op-shopping.

old, worn in t-shirts, slightly bonkers prints, and baggy eighties cuts. (okay, perhaps not so much the baggy eighties cuts…)

high praise, sincerely.

that said, i can imagine that although these suno items are many cuts above the selection at my local savers branch, they wouldn’t look as classy on me.

dude; i can make anything look cheap. without even trying. effortlessly.
