It's summer!

I know most of you are heading into Winter, but here is Oz it's Summer! This is very exciting - especially it will be my first Summer living right across from the beach.
With this is mind, i have been looking at accessories...


I have never been a hat person, but i could be persuaded...!










A scarf. So cute.

You can get these here

Memory Lane

I have an interesting Uni assignment to do. I have to write a 2500 word memoir about reading and/or writing. It's funny, because i had never thought about why i read- but when you do, it's interesting. Often it stems back to childhood, and it's fun to go back and look at what you used to read. Me? I was obsessed with the Baby Sitters Club, and funnily enough, Mills and Boon.

So, i pose the question: Why do you read, and what were you obsessed with?

Flamingos

Ok, so i find myself in the midst of a 'flamingo' phase. It is great, but there really aren't a lot of flamingo themed accessories out there.
I did, however, come across this little silver beauty.





What do you think?

My head hurts

Argh, today my head feels all funky. Wanna know why? Ok, i'll tell you, but it's kinda gross...
Yesterday morning at about 5:00 am i work up with a terrible migrain, so i took some heavy duty painkillers in the hope that they would fix it. Oh how i was wrong.

From about 10-2 pm i was vomitting ( not that there was anything there to vomit mind you), and then spent the rest of the day trying to fall asleep to escape the pain.

Migraines suck! And while i'm not a stranger to them, they are changing in their effects, and getting progressively worse. I am pretty sure they are hormonal, so i am not quite sure how to handle them.

Any ideas? While i was in Brisbane, i did see my doc, and we decided to change my pill to the lowest degree. In a way, this has worked because i don't get them as often, but when i do they seem much worse.

Shoes!

I am in love with these shoes, pale pink suede and the red bow is detachable. Bliss.
$90 from Frock You. I can't buy them yet, but my shopping ban finishes very soon!

Buy pink

It seems that more and more people i know are getting Breast Cancer. At first i just knew one person, but now the list is growing. Friends, family and coworkers are being diagnosed and at a fast rate.

Honestly, i feel quite helpless. I donate money, buy the pens etc, but still feel...overwhelmed by something that is quite obviously out of our control. While i haven't had anyone close to me pass on, it only seems a matter of time.

This may seem quite trivial, but whenever i need to buy anything, i always to check if there is a 'pink' version, and have recently stumbled across some that have really caught my attention for many reasons; charity, looks, usage and cost.

Collette Dinnigan Ballet Slippers $69

Dunlop Volley shoes

Blush Leather Purse $100 www.luxeaccessories.com

Baby Jumpsuit $16

Teacup and Saucer set $8.95

Beach Towel $50

There are so many more than what's on my list, but i think this is a good start. I am considering buying through websites such as the NBCF and RSPCA for Christmas presents. What do you think?

Most of these items are available through here

It's been waaaay to long between haikus

Loud, rambunctious birds
I can't work with you so near
Nature is noisy!


Dear costly new pen
I am quite dissapointed
you're only OK
