I am feeling very very very lazy and naughty at the moment for neglecting this blog that I was so excited about starting. I am going to make a conscious effort from now on to update it more regularly. I say more regularly because the fact of the matter is I probably won't update it as regularly as I would like too. It's not that I'm so busy and I just can't find the time to do it. If that were the case I wouldn't be watching masterchef every night. The truth is I'm totally and completely bored at the moment and that is exactly what I have been repeatedly telling my friends, my colleagues and my boyfriend. So why can't I update this blog? The answer is the same as the answer to many questions in my life. Why can't I start that new book? Why can't I start getting up at 6am to go for a run? Why can't I get all my work done? Why am I finding it easy to waste all my time with mindless tasks that reap no reward? The answer is simple and it is a word that has stuck with me since high school, and that word is- procrastination. Everybody does it and nobody really talks about it. It's like being a part of a secret society that is neither cool or constructive and as I said earlier has no reward. So why do we procrastinate? My answer, like most people's is that it is the easy option out of most situations that require one to actually make an effort. This blog for example is not something that I absolutely, 100% have to do, so it's much much harder to motivate myself to do it. Like an old university assignment that gets left to the last minute, this blog floats around in the back of my head constantly, making me feel bad for not writing a post. And like that old Uni assignment every time I sit down to work on it I get distracted with something else. Between participating in a spot of online shopping, looking at blogs, checking the weather or even updating my other blogs, I can't seem to find the time to update this particular blog. It seems that the moment I feel bad enough about this and decide it's time to start a new post, I realise its midnight and I'm half way through a thrilling episode of True Blood (Damn Eric is hot, I think to myself!) and I'm better off going to bed as I have to get up at 6am for the run...... let's be honest that run is not going to happen but I'll keep setting my alarm for 6am nonetheless. I guess it's time to change this bad habit and try to change I will. I can't promise everyday updates. But I can promise that I will try and get rid of that word procrastination. It's such an annoying word anyway so who needs it. Not me anymore!

I think I said I would update this blog daily, at least that's what my friend told me today. It turns out that updating a written blog daily is a lot harder than I thought. My other blog- what i need now, is much much simpler to keep updated. I think it's because it's pretty much based on all the clothes, bands and people I love, and of course all the things I need now. I'm not going to lie, I tend to surf the world wide web pretty frequently and I am constantly looking for my next purchase. I have been wondering about this lately, 'this' being my addiction to shopping. You probably think I have something insightful to say about this, but actually I have nothing. I can't explain it and I will never understand where is comes from. The simple fact is that I love clothes. I especially love shopping for clothes and dressing up in them and further I love to look at clothes, and research them, where they are made, who designs them, how much they cost, where I can buy them from, how I can accquire them, the way they make me feel. Once the researching starts my brain starts to click into action and then I start to build budgets, budgets which mean that I will need to wait approximately 10 weeks till I can afford the perfect pair of suede booties, or 5 weeks until I can afford that divine floral dress or even 1 week till I can afford a new pair of Converse Chuck Taylors. These budgets work in theory, however they are never actually put into action and all the purchases are quickly thrown on one of the three credit cards. The debt is still mounting and I'm starting to feel a little bad about it. It was not until recently when  I looked through my giant wardrobe and realised that almost 80% was filled with impulse buys I didn't wear. Maybe if I followed the budget I would have realised that by the time I saved for the almighty item, I didn't actually need it in the first place.
So in a moment of saneness (is that a word?) I decided I needed to change this bad habit of impulse buying. It was then that I decided that I really had to start thinking more about what I wear. I realised that 5 or 6, $100 dresses was the equivelant of a pair of Miu Miu shoes. This realisation was a bit sad at first, especially when I think about how many pairs of Miu Miu shoes I could own right now! But the simple fact is it's a hell of a lot easier to justify a $100 dress than it is a $500 pair of shoes. Despite this I have made the decision to make a clean break from impulse buying and am now looking for  a classic wardrobe made up of quality pieces. This will be an investment in my future and I have decided that from now on I am looking to the future. No more will I impulse buy! No more will I buy exessive amounts of high street floral dresses and blazers. From now on I am looking for quality not quantity. I am looking for luxury, rather than a cheap thrill. Most of all I am looking for a Chanel, Chloe and Pucci bag, a pair of Miu Miu shoes, a Dion Lee dress and a Louis Vuitton scarf. I said earlier I was worried about my impulse buys contributing to my growing credit card debt. Sometimes I think that my new idea of luxury buying might be worse...... I'm willing to take that risk.

Hi there, if you are reading this, then you are reading the first post on my new blog. A friend told me I should start a blog where each day I rant and rave about all the things I usually rant and rave about- Celebrity, music, gossip, parking police, hopes, dreams, aggravations, cupcakes, unnecessary exercise, people who I like, people who annoy me, how I am trying to eat healthier, how much I love McDonalds,  the list goes on. I guess she meant was as opposed to bombarding her everyday by giving her a verbal daily dose of Lucy, I could write it all down in a blog, where she could read it, and where perhaps maybe others would read it, these others may even like it and further could propel me into the spotlight to become a world famous blogger, or better yet a world famous writer...... Perhaps I'm getting ahead of myself.
As you can probably see (or maybe not at all..... can you see? Or do I have to attach a link?) I already have two blogs, One dedicated to Alexa Chung and another dedicated to all my fashion loves, and trust me, there are a lot! This blog however will be more like a writing outlet. Yes, I will probably talk about fashion and Yes I will probably talk about Alexa Chung, but I promise you this, if you read this blog you will not be disappointed. I'm not suggesting I will give you in depth discussions about things like current affairs and politics, but I will give you and insight into the life of a 24 year old production coordinator living in Sydney.  
I urge you as the reader to comment, whether it be good or bad, to ask questions, even if you think they are insane. I will endeavor to answer anything you throw at me. AND PLEASE feel free to correct me for bad spelling or bad grammar. It is a personal pet hate of mine. On a brighter note here are some things I absolutely love-

The book, the Bronze Horseman
The movie, The Godfather
Eating ice-cream for dinner
Chicken taco salad from the Beach Burritto Company
Alexa Chung
Anything Alexander Wang
Reading gossip magazines at the hairdresser/dentist/doctors
Blogging
Travelling the world
Online shopping
