Christmas wishlist at Peter Alexander

I love the undewear from Peter Alexander. They are very cute and very comfortable.

In love with...

The Body Shop Vitamin E night cream.


So, so good.

Gambled and won!

On the weekend, Brett & I went to the Casino. Now normally i am not a gambler, but i came out $200 on top- not bad for a $35 bet. I played the poker machines and won $70and the rest on roulette.

Now i just have be careful and not become addicted.

;)

Christmas gifts

I am trying to get organised for Christmas, and came across this little gem. It is a handmade calendar by Still Life With Wallpaper. I bought 2- one in green and one in red.



Each calendar is $14 (bargain) and is even better in real life. You can get them here

Another one...

When I first saw this dress I wasn't too fussed on it, but now it's growing on me. Good for work and play.

Today...

Today i am going to go to the city with my fella, to have lunch and drink wine (and maybe shop). Why? Because i can. As much as i know Uni is worth it, and i will benefit from the extra 7 years of education, it still has its moments of...shit.

Since i work full-time and study part-time, i really dont have much time for general hanging out, and whenever i do, i feel guilty because there is always an assignment due or papers to read.

So today, i am doing nothing. Because i can. I will also blog more, because i can. I will also watch re-runs of dodgy movies and tv shows because i can.

Ahhh. Bliss.

On my way to work...

Brisbane has many beautiful things, especially these flowers that I see everyday alongside a busy, main road as i walk to the bus stop . Don't they look like they belong in a resort or something??

In its place

Now that Uni has finished for the year, i actually have time to do...stuff.
So, i have decided to organise- especially my jewellery and makeup. Here is what i have found so far...





You can get them here , but first tell me- how do you keep your 'stuff' organised?

Idea

Thinking that you should be able to get vodka tablets. Kinda like a multi-vitamin.

Organisation is key!

Am i the only person in love with Cath Kidston products? I especially like the 2009 agenda...

Work/Wine

So, in Australia there is a horse race called The Melbourne Cup. Basically, its an excuse to put on a dress, drink copious amounts of wine. My work is having drinks and we have to dress up- but not too much because we still have to work...or look like it anyway.

Here is what i am thinking of wearing. Thoughts?


I know its a dodgy photo, but basically its pink dress and new, lovely shoes!

Mineral makeup

Has anyone else joined the mineral makeup band wagon? I recently bought this Bloom stater kit and love it! It costs $100 and has $162 value. Included is; mineral foundation, mineral bronzer, makeup base, foundation brush concealer brush and an intructional DVD (which is good because i am clueless about makeup!).

I haven't tried any other brands, but I am quite happy with Bloom. Any other suggestions?

Oohhh, i also bought this eyeliner and got about 10 (very nice)comments the next day about it.

Nerd.

I so want this. I am such a nerd.

Its from here

Very Important Stuff

If you are anything like me, choosing a calendar is very important stuff. It is a something that you have to look at for a YEAR, so it has to be good.

Here are my picks from Etsy...




You can get them here

Or, if birds aren't your fancy- CUPCAKES!


You can get them here

Undecided.

I'm not sure if i love or hate this top.

Yep, another one...

So, i kinda like this dress too. It has white birds printed on it. Thinking it would be good for casual days at work etc.


Thoughts?

Haikus inspired by the bus...

The bus was soooo gross today, but did inspire these...

I feel bad that your
facial hair is abundant but
am glad it's not mine

Help! I am stuck on
public transport with the crazies
I want to get off

Reading...

So, for the past month or so I have been reading The Unabridged Journals of Sylvia Plath. One word-Brilliant!

Its a massive book, but so, so worth it. My favourite quote so far (when thinking about attention from boys) 'how could that not frost my cake?'

Love it.

Some things never change

I love simple dresses. Therfore, i love these dresses.

Want..

This purse...



Love Spencer and Rutherford bags and purses. They are sooo decadent. I will have to find $170 for this one though. Hmmm, how can i justify it to the credit card?

Wondering...

if birds have a penis?* I realise they have something, but is it a penis, and if so, do they have testicles AKA balls?

I would google this question, but i am afraid, very afraid, of what would come back!





*Do not ask me why i am wondering this.There is no logical, reasonable answer. Just go with it.

Up at the crack of a sparrows fart

Hmmmm, you maybe be wondering why i am posting at 7:16 a.m. on a Sunday morning? Well, there are a couple of contributing factors:

1. The blinds/curtains in our bedroom are CRAP. I thought it was about 10:00 when i woke up, not 6:30. So, so sad.

2. Yesterday, i finally managed to track down and purchase the dresser (below) from IKEA that i have wanted (yearned??!) for forever. Brett is putting it together now, so i think it is best to stay ot of his way. So, finally i have it and i can get rid of the one i have has since i was 14.

My Mum

As you may or may not know, there is a fast food chain called 'Aporto Chicken'. On my recent visit home, i was driving with my mum past it's construction site, where my mum advised me that we are getting a new chicke shop called..................... 'Portfolio Chicken'.

hehe
love my mum.

Tastes like....shit.

Firstly, thank you chickies for your lovely comments re: my imminent death from hayfever. As you can probably tell, i made it through alive, and realisticlly, i probably wasn't go to die from it in the first place(although it felt like it!)

p.s- in case your wondering, i was so doped up on drugs, i have had this intense taste of gross in my mouth that i just can't get rid of.

Maybe vodka will get rid of it?

p.p.s- please dont focus on the insane amount of spelling errors in this post-you wouldn't think that i proofread for a living would you? (I swear, i am good at my job, just incredibly lazy at home!)

Seriously,

can people die from severe hayfever???

Maybe i will be the first?

Hayfever= not fun, especially while trying to do assignements.

Pure Brilliance!

OMG, this is a brilliant website -Passive Aggressive Notes

If you haven't seen it before, you must take a gander.

I want....

This.....

And this....


And yes, they are from Peter Alexander

Confessions....

... I like Avon perfumes. And before you make any assumptions, they have really pulled their fingers out the last couple of years and have made NICE ones. (No Imari or musk for me)

yes, i am serious.

Slightly...drink...oops, i meant drunk!

yep, and i am wearing my pink velour track suite top(the paints have to be taken up because i am a short arsr!).

OMG, should i be handling hot beaerages right not?

bye!

Best Club Ever

On the weekend i went to a club that played:

1. Play that funky music white boy
2. Baby got back, and
3. Thriller

I think it is the best club ever and thought you should know.

Essential.

I am sooooooooooooooo getting this track suit. I don't care who you are, no wardrobe is complete without pink velour.

And yes, i am serious.

It's from Peter Alexander. The second best thing i sleep with ;)

I love summer

Pretty dress

Yucky.

I can't stop sneezing. I am all congested and have massive amounts of WARNING-you may want to not read what i am about to write- SNOT. Yep, gooey, yucky, slimy snot. And now my nostrils are starting to hurt even though i have those lovely aloe vera tissues.

I need help. I need a cure. I need a lobotomy.

p.s- what is a lobotomy? Maybe i dont need one...?

Argh.

pps- Do you think i should buy the top below? Maybe it will make my feel better, and then i can concentrate in my assignment?? Maybe? Worth a try? (please?)

Want? Yep!

I also really like this top...


Hmmm, can you tell i have an assignment to do??

More.

Why??? Why do i want so many clothes all of a sudden??? It's some weird, freaky torture. Or maybe, it's because i am slowly getting rid of my 'country' clothes, and moving into a more 'city' style? All i can say is, thank god my wage increased when i moved!

Maybe?

Last night i went to a comedy bar, a I felt like i was in a Seinfeld episode (minus the outdated clothes of course- oh, and Jerry, but thats a minute detail)

More Shoes

See? Pretty. They are a charcoal colour and thought they would be awesome for work. Although, the lady told me they were made with snake skin. Slightly freaked out, but will try to deal with it.

Is this going to give me bad karma?? Time will tell i guess...!

Random purchases

I have recently bought 2 CDs:
1. The Vines

2. Pete Murray

Love them both.

I have also bought some books:
1. Valley of the Dolls. (I have bought one previously, but someone pilfered it.Argh.)

2. The Journals of Sylvia Plath. (I have heard alot about this lass, but haven't read anything yet. Looks fairly deep, so wish me luck!)

3. Count Me to the Stars by Kylie Johnson. (It's a book of great poems. You need to google it- i am way to lazy to provide a link at the moment!)

4. Hipter Haikus. (Yes, furthering my love of Haikus. Once again, too lazt to put a link up.)

Gee, i seem to have a bit of attitude tonight. Ah well, deal with it!
:)

At least i am consistent

Today i purchased these little gems....




The dress is heaps cute, it has little bluebirds all over.

Bring on spring *sigh*

You can get them from Frock You

Life Purpose

I am thinking about buying some Roller Skates. There are a couple of reasons..
1. They are cool.
2. I actually think i might use them! (well, for a little while at least)
3. The name of the skates is 'StarFire 500'. I kinda just love the name.
4. It's possible my purpose to life is to bring skates back. Not Roller Blades mind you, but Roller Skates.



Thoughts?

I love foreign people!

I have been compiling a list of mixed phrases that i have heard and find higly amusing and thought i would share the love...

1. I would love to be a spider on the wall ( as opposed to being a fly on the wall)
2. I didn't want to stir the boat ( as opposed to stirring the pot)

and finally, my favourite...

3. I wanted to stab his head off! ( i'm not sure what this is supposed to be, but it makes me giggle all the same!)

Shoes

So, the other day, Brett and i were driving around, and he asks me if i would like to call into the local shopping centre. And, well, of course i would (silly boy should know it goes without saying!).Anywho, since i have plenty of dresses (see previous posts), i was on the lookout for shoes. Below are my purchases, AND they were half price.





Tell me, could you have said no to shopping?

Agitated

Argh, im all agitated. A while back i went off the pill to see if it would stop my slight skin pigmentation, but then i started to get some side effects, so about a week ago, i went back on the pill, but now i am all AGITATED. Seriously, i want to dismember anything that slightly pisses me off.


And to top it all off, i think i am suffering buyers remorse.

Help!

I have a problem

I just can't seem to stop...





You can get them here

I want....

This...
This...
And this...

There. All done. Oh,and you can get them from Frock You

I'm calm.

Today i received a Uni essay back from marking, and do you know what it said? That some of my terms were a little to 'academic'. It's an essay for gods sake- it's supposed to be academic!

In saying that, my mark was quite good, but still, this comment is annoying the crap out of me.

Argh.

My favourite (clean) joke

Me:Did you hear about the wedding between the antennas?
You: No, what?
Me: The ceremony was crap, but the reception was great!

Cmon, share the love-i want to hear your favourite jokes (clean or dirty, i'm not one to discriminate!)

It strikes again..

So, my favourite store, Peter Alexander, is having a stocktake sale. Needless to say, i have made some purchases. This cardi is my favourite....



I really must stop shopping.

Turn offs

Today i saw a man (about 40 yrs old) wearing skate shoes, black jeans with a hole near his bum and an old tweed jacket. Needless to say, it was not a good sight. What made it worse though, was the excessive ear hair. It was long and stuck out of his ears like it has been straightened.

Stangely enough, i can deal with nose hair, but def. not ear hair.

What are your turn offs??

Coolness

How cool are these?! Book tabs.

I sooo wish they were my idea.

You can buy them here

Love this

Available here

Freaky

The other day Brett and I sent the exact same email to each other at the exact same time (3:47 to be precise) Freaky. I guess this proves how much couples tend to think alike, OR just how bored people can be at the same time.....

:)

Must stop...

Shopping. Seriously. It's just there are so many bargains to be had!

Tell me, what are your vices?

In love

Love swing dancing!

That is all.

Decisions!

I love bags and purses. Specifically, i love the ones below....





Although im having troubles choosing what colours to get. The purse with the hearts also comes in grey and black, while the orange clutch also comes in black. I love the orange, but surely black is more practical??

These, and many more, are available here , AND if you enter the code 'MISSY4U' you get a 20% discount. Hooray!

Such a conundrum!
