Tilt my hat at the sun and the shadows they burn dark





When I had a look at these outfit photos I took a little while ago, I immediately thought of the INXS lyrics in this blog post's title.


I'm a big INXS fan. I remember first catching glimpses of the INXS T.V mini series in December 2013 and the song 'Never Tear Us Apart' caught my attention. I've always loved reading music biographies, so when I discovered the official autobiography of INXS in a local library, I gladly borrowed it and loved reading it.

Since then, my love for the band's music has remained. I've collected most of their records.

Take a look at my vinyl collection: 


I have:
INXS
Underneath the Colours
Shabooh Shoobah
The Swing
Listen Like Thieves
Kick
X
Full Moon, Dirty Hearts (not pictured, I have it on CD)
Live Baby Live (live album)
Max Q (a collaboration between Michael Hutchence and Ollie Olsen)



I've never been able to find records for Welcome to Wherever You Are, Full Moon, Dirty Hearts or Elegantly Wasted. I wonder if it's because CDs started to became popular in the early 1990s, so the two albums were mostly made on CDs.



Here's my INXS and Michael Hutchence related book collection:



Are you a fan of INXS? If so, how did you discover them?

    Love the dress!
    Kick was one of my most played albums back in the 1980s. Michael Hutchence was an absolute god. If you haven't already seen it watch Dogs in Space, it'll blow your mind. x

 Where do you buy your clothing from? Opshops? Online shops? Retail stores? For a while, I hadn't been buying much clothing as my wardrobe is absolutely full! From time to time, I sell pieces from my wardrobe on eBay to slowly thin out my collection. Although recently I fell into an eBay rabbit hole and have purchased quite a few nice dresses.  I bought this  Tree Of Life  dress on eBay after admiring the exact same one my mum has. I tried on her dress, so knew which size to buy. It popped up immediately when I looked it up online, and for less than $30 including postage, it was mine ! Leopard is always fabulous, I think. I enjoyed wearing it for a get-together with family friends at my uncle Arthur's house a little while ago. This cotton, brown and cream kaftan was also from Tree of Life. I wore it recently when going to see Simple Minds play at the Red Hot Summer Tour. And boy was it hot, at 35 °C     we were so sweaty, people were fainting around us...

After 11 weeks of term 2, preparing reports and completing parent-teacher interviews, I farewelled my grade 2 students, and began my two weeks of holidays. I was looking forward to spending time with my family, grandparents and boyfriend, as well as squeezing in some day trips. My mum and I returned to our favourite place, Daylesford. It was a cold, winter's day so we rugged up in big coats which kept us surprisingly toasty. I wore my tartan coat that I recently bought at a market. I had been looking for a big, long coat for some time as well as watching Gilmore Girls and admiring all of the beautiful coats worn on the show. So when I found this brand new coat, I was happy to hand over my $25. At Daylesford, we first roamed the Vintage Mills Market. It's always fun to have a look at the unique items. I found a vintage, leopard coat. It was a bit pricey, so I thought about it for some time and then decided to buy it as it was a dream item that I have been searching for, for prob...

  Last Thursday night, my mum, sister and I went to see Wicked: The Musical in the city!  We quickly dressed and rushed there after work and made it just in the nick of time before the 7pm start. We marvelled at the ceiling and Romeo and Juliet style balcony. I even spotted a handful of Australian TV personalities, walking through a roped off area, which is something I've never seen here in Melbourne. Usually, we all just walk through the same entrance!  I absolutely love  The Wizard of Oz  as you may have noticed  here  and  here  and quite enjoyed Wicked The Musical, with its perspective of two witches Elphaba and Glinda from the Land of Oz. The set was wonderful, with references to the Land of Oz such as the Emerald City, cornfield and a field of poppies. It was lovely to see so many beautifully dressed audience members, with many of them wearing the colour emerald. I loved the enchanting costumes and the singing was absolu...
