Hate

2010-06-21T19:24:00.000+10:00

I hate Times New Roman font. I really, really do. That is all.

Neutrogena

2010-06-20T20:22:00.003+10:00

Wow. These products are great ( and cheap!). If you haven't tried them, you must, and if you have tried them- why didn't you tell me about them??

Sugar Scrub Body Exfoliator. I can't believe how soft my skin feels after using this-almost like i don't need to moisturise.

Deep Moisture Body Cream. Seriously, it smells just like custard. Sooo good.

Next on my list is the Body Oil. I have also noticed that there is a Pink Grapefruit range, although it isn't available in Australia yet. So, these are my recommendations. What are yours?

This is NOT okay

I am loving the label Finders Keepers. Love their dresses, like this one. Looks so comfortable!

Update

2010-06-08T08:48:00.002+10:00

I have finished Uni for the semester. Normally this wouldn't be a huge thing, but today it is. I can be normal for a few weeks. Yay!!

P.s Ordered this coat yestersday from Shilla.com.au

Fingers crossed it's a perfect fit!

Sick...but Hawaii!

2010-06-03T18:24:00.002+10:00

So, i am back from Broome, and as a momento, i decided to bring back plane flu. So yeah, that sucks a bit ( especially since i have assignment to do).

In other news, i have started to focus on my trip to Hawaii. Maybe it's because of the cold weather, but i can't wait! I have even started to make a few purchases ;p

Dress

2010-05-24T15:44:00.002+10:00

I'm thinking that this dress would be PERFECT for Hawaii in August.

(Rodeo show)

Thoughts?

Cabel Beach

2010-05-21T17:03:00.004+10:00

I have just finished work for a week, because on Monday i leave for Cable Beach in W.A for a friends wedding. It has been an expensive trip ( travelling within Australia is often dearer than going overseas!), but it will be worth it.
Just look at this beach...

Oh, and one more thing. While it is cold here in NSW ( 20 degree max days), Cable Beach is at around 30 degrees. Yay!!

My quote of the day

2010-05-18T16:53:00.000+10:00

I don't believe in a pie without pastry.

Too busy!

2010-05-13T16:54:00.002+10:00

So, a few posts back i talked about a dress from Barkins. I ended up ordering it on the 1st May, and as of today i still don't have it. It's coming from Syndey so it should have taken a week maxiumum to get to me.

On wednesday i sent an email asking about it. No reply.

Today, i called and got a young girl ( sounded like work experience). I asked her where it was. She said it was 'being sent tomorrow as they had lots of orders'. I asked why no-one replied to my email. She said ' they don't check their emails- they are too busy'

WTF???

If I didn't check my work emails and reply, i wouldn't have a job.

This dress had better be worth it!

Another one for the list...

2010-05-07T08:54:00.002+10:00

After a month of exercise and tweaking my diet ( and by exercise i mean getting tortured by my personal trainer), my jeans fit better! ( because we all know that jeans are the best judge).

I am trying to not judge results by weight ( it has changed only slightly), but definetely feel...fit and less heavy and bloated.

Also, i find myself in love with the treadmill. I know, strange, but true. I love running on it and testing myself each time.

So, there you have it. I have another addiction.

OMG

2010-05-02T21:47:00.001+10:00

Is this not the most gorgeous coat you have ever seen? I am in LOVE. Seriously.

Available at Shilla.com.au

I love these moments!

2010-05-01T17:13:00.003+10:00

I just got this amazing dress!

OK, lets start from the beginning. I read a lovely blog called Lady Melbourne who has the most FANTASTIC style. So, when she featured the dress Kimono style dress from Barkins i was in LOVE. I went straight to the site, but it wasn't there. I assumed i was too late and would never get the dress.

Anyway, i was back at her blog and fantasizing about the dress when i thought i'd try and google it and....yep! It was listed on the site- i was too early! And to make things even better, i googled for a discount code and scored 20% off. Not bad when the dress was on $49.95 to begin with. Ahhh, i love these moments!

Hair stuff

2010-05-01T16:56:00.001+10:00

I just won this shampoo and conditoner set by Grown. It seems good (organic etc) but have any of you gals ever tried it before?

Pretty.

2010-04-29T08:36:00.002+10:00

This is a pretty dress. I love the frill on the shoulders. I think i am going to buy it.

28-35

2010-04-21T08:47:00.004+10:00

For some reason, I keep putting off updating my age on the side bar from 27 to 28.
I know i'm not in denial, but all of a sudden i am VERY much aware of ageing and i want it to stop. Now.

I know this because:

1. I am back at the gym seeing a trainer trying to find that elusive figure from my early twenties.
2. I HATE ticking age boxes on forms. I am now in the 28-35 age bracket. The horror.
3. I am obsessed about wrinkles- especially eye wrinkes.
4. I find myself wandering into shops that i used to label as 'old people' shops, and the worst part is...I like them. They have practical pyjamas and heat packs.
5. I increasingly start sentences with 'When i was young' or 'When i used to go out..'
6. My knee is making funny noises when i bend, kinda like it's groaning.

So, there you have it. I'm oldish.

Descions

2010-04-13T14:39:00.003+10:00

So, I have a friend's wedding coming up, and I have been trying to think of something to get them. Everyone wants money in a card, and while i understand that, i would like to put a little more thought into it.

My latest idea is monogramed stationery and a nice pen. The paper would say something like 'From the desk of Mr and Mrs Smith'. They live on the other side of Australia, so the idea would help us stay on touch.

What do you think? Yea or nay?

Lots of friends!

2010-04-11T18:50:00.004+10:00

Funny story from Brisbane, also known as 'what not to ask a stranger'...

So, on Saturday i was meeting 3 other people for lunch, and since i was early i thought i would go ahead a get a table and have a drink while i waited.

The waiter comes to seat me and i ask for a table for 4. He then looks at me and asks 'Have you bought your imaginery friends with you?'

Now i think this is a STRANGE question to ask a customer. So i look at him funny. He then asks me 'What are their names?'

Again, this is odd. I reply with 'I'm not telling you their names' ( hopefully wierding him out too).

Anyway. I get a table, and then go to get a drink, and since it's quite hot i get a glass of wine AND a coke. There i am carrying back 2 drinks to an empty table and the waiter spots me and instantly focuses on the 2 drinks. God knows what he made of that!

But, was that a strange question to ask someone??????

Life List

2010-04-08T17:21:00.002+10:00

2010-03-24T08:31:00.004+11:00

The other day i stumbled across these lovely dishes from Have you met miss Jones

I ended up buying this

and this

Cute. Very cute.

28!

2010-03-23T08:43:00.003+11:00

It's my birthday, bitches! :P

I am going to the beauty spa for a couple of hours, and then will come home and watch whatever I want.

Then, i am going out for Italian to eat and drink, and then come home to eat the mudcake that Brett made from scratch, just for me.

I LOVE birthdays!

I'm on a streak!

2010-03-16T09:55:00.002+11:00

I just won this bottle of perfume by Jean Paul Gaultier- Ma Dame. I have no idea what it's like- do you?

One line a day

2010-03-15T08:40:00.002+11:00

I just recieved this book, One line a day, in the mail. I like the idea of it- writing a diary entry can seem a bit much ( and therefore never gets done), but i think i can cope with One line a day.

Another one

2010-03-11T08:53:00.002+11:00

I just scored this dress for $40, and i have a feeling it's going to be one of those dresses that you get ALOT of wear from.

Today

2010-03-06T10:37:00.002+11:00

Today i woke up with a headache. Here's hoping that it doesn't turn into a migraine.

Today i tried a new beautician and got a $10 eyebrow wax. Yep $10. A bargain.

Today my friend is coming to visit for the weekend. Yay.

Reviews

2010-03-04T13:06:00.002+11:00

Any ideas?

2010-02-14T14:22:00.003+11:00

I seem to be incompetent at handing any type of assignment in before the due date.
For instance, i am doing a book review for a website. It is due tomorrow. I have done 80% over the last few weeks, but could not make myself finish it. Why? because it's not due yet. I had the time to do it, but not the stress that i need to actually FINISH it.

It's the same with Uni assignments. I start them, make some headway, and then leave it till the last couple of days to get my shit together. And now? Now i want to drink wine but i can't because i need to finish the review.

Sometimes i really annoy myself.

Postcrossing

2010-02-11T09:49:00.001+11:00

Fail

2010-02-09T08:23:00.003+11:00

OK so you know how i dyed my hair dark?? I couldn't deal with it and have gone lighter again. I tried it for 2 weeks, but failed. It was odd, because I didn't feel like myself and therefore felt kinda sad and dejected. It's funny how small things can affect your mood.

Anyway. Moral of the story- blondes do have more fun!

Purses

2010-02-04T19:50:00.003+11:00

Loving this purse from Urban Originals, only i already have 2 which are similar. Even i am having trouble justifying this... *sigh*

I just won something!

2010-02-04T19:44:00.001+11:00

handmade goodies by Sarah . The last thing i won was a meat tray, so yes, I am very excited that it is these lovelies!

Apple Tree Boutique

2010-02-03T18:24:00.002+11:00

Just came across an awesome online shop, where i purchased this scarf

and this coat

So in love.

Big decisions

2010-01-25T22:45:00.003+11:00

Oh, and in Breaking news- after forever being blonde, i am going darker. I have made the first visit to the salon ( it's a bit darker than expected, but i have been told it's a process), and in a couple of weeks my hairdresser and i plan to put a copper colour over the top to lighten it up. My overall plan is to have coppery/dark blonde hair.
Thoughts?

These pics were taken over the weekend in Melbourne, Victoria. I love Melbourne. Best shopping in Australia.

Substantial substance

2010-01-25T22:21:00.002+11:00

Does anyone else find it too hard to 'share' on their blog? As much as i want to be completely open and honest, i find it hard to write anything 'substantial'. I am not an overly open person anyway, so i guess it transfers here too. The funny thing is, i like reading about other people's...substance. I'll take it, but won't give it!

Generally i post about shopping. I wonder why i do this? Many would consider this to be highly impersonal, but when you think about it, shopping is quite personal for me. It displays my personality, likes and dislikes, and i put a lot of thought into gifts for other people. I plan months in advance to find the perfect present, and often hound suppliers to get stock if they run out. I like the thrill of the chase, and knowing that i can find a unique gift and make someone smile.

Another intersting point is that i do not tell my 'real' friends/family about my blog. I do not want them reading it, probably because i don't want to be judged ( not that i really think they would), but it's nice to have a seperate avenue.

Does this make sense?

Hawaii

2010-01-19T18:20:00.003+11:00

Well it's official. Brett and I are going to Hawaii in August. We found Starclass flights( Jetstar's version of first class) for $500 each way and very cheap accom at the Hilton.

I am so excited! We are leaving for Honolulu on the 2nd and come home on the 12th.

I plan to go to the travel agents for brochures etc, but has anyone been before, and if so, what is a must see/do?

But, i have 7 months to wait... :(

Clutch

2010-01-13T17:56:00.002+11:00

100% soft leather clutch featuring gorgeous lattice detail. The dream clutch is fastened with a magnetic clasp. The inside is fully lined and made up of five compartments, with a section to hold license and credit cards.

oohhh, this one is nice! I like the compartments as it is now MUCH more practical and useful! AND it's down from $100 to $50!

From here

More weddings

2010-01-13T17:08:00.002+11:00

So, in May i have to go to a wedding in Broome ( aka 'The other side of Australia'). Considering it is going to cost about $2000 for me to get there and stay for 4 nights, i don't plan on buying another dress to wear, BUT, i could be persuaded!

Black, strapless dress with free belt for $60 ( which i can see getting considerable wear)

or this option at a cheaper price ( yeah for Ebay)!

So many decisions!

Keep in mind that i already have this dress if i decide that i need colour!

Revolve Clothing

2010-01-13T08:13:00.002+11:00

Was I the last one to know about this AMAZING website, Revolve Clothing ?

Granted, some of their products are a little pricey, but i tend to stick to the sale items..! And they have free international shipping when you spend over $100. Now that's makes shopping from the US worthwhile.

Being a girl has its bad moments

2010-01-12T08:26:00.002+11:00

I am so agitated right now. Everything is frustrating and annoying and i want to demolish everything for not being as it should. I also feel fat and yucky and it's soooo hot here right now.

Sound familiar ladies?

Update

2009-12-21T08:11:00.001+11:00

Playsuit listed below didn't really work it. It looked hideous. Turns out you have to be somewhat tall to pull that one off.

Oh well. I tried.

Do i?

2009-12-15T21:17:00.001+11:00

There is something about this playsuit that i like.

I have never owned one before, but i am soooo tempted.

Reflections and !!!

2009-12-06T11:50:00.003+11:00

This may sound trite, but since moving from a big city to a smaller costal town, i have become much less worried about looks, clothes, shopping and all those costly things that a city can do to a person.

I guess a lot of this is due to lack of choice. I don't have big shopping centre where i am. Sure, i have all i need and more, but a lot less variety. Where shopping used to take a day ( and sometimes more), it now takes a couple of hours.

I used to get most of my fun from shopping in the city. It's just what you did either alone or with the girls. Now, i shop, but i go to the beach too. I play tennis. I actually read during the day. Brett and i play board games. I look at the ocean for no other reason but because i can and it's pretty.

So there you have it.

Don't get me wrong, i miss the city. I miss the shopping, but not the reasons why i did it. I wonder it that makes sense to anyone else but me?

And, in other news, the company that i work for in Brisbane ( Aka 'the city'), is flying Brett and I up for the Christmas party, and covering all costs for the weekend!!! Happy dance!!

So cute!

2009-11-20T08:36:00.001+11:00

Yesterday I stumbled across this lovely website Buckscoop

It has discount vouchers, coupons and promo codes. I am not a big coupon person ( they are usually much more hassle than they are worth), but since i do alot of online shopping, i love the promo codes.

Most of these are for Australia, but i think i did see some for the larger overseas stores. You should def. check it out!

Another one for the collection...

2009-11-18T08:55:00.002+11:00

Another Ebay moment...but so worth it!

I realise that i am not supposed to be buying stuff, but to counteract this I have listed some things on Ebay. Here is the link if you want to take a look!

Ebay

2009-11-16T07:55:00.003+11:00

So, as you know, i am been TRYING to curb my shopping, but it's so hard! Ebay is what's really making things difficult. Yesterday, I was checking on one of my listings,and i stumbled across a NWT top in my size with an hour to go. So I placed a bid. And then someone outbide me. This is where I get caught- I am now in a competition. Even though I like the top and will wear it, it's the fact that someone is out bidding me that makes me want to win it.

After much bidding, I waited until there was 12 seconds left and placed my final bid....and I won! Hooray!

Here is the top I fouhgt so hard for, Copper St Jungle Ruffle top

Planning my days carefully

2009-11-09T18:36:00.003+11:00

Days of the week underwear are back at Peter Alexander!

Every year i get a pack and LOVE them ( and before you ask, yes, I have to match the pair to the day- Monday on Mondays etc). You must check them out!

There are so many things i love at Peter Alexander, but these are my fav.

It's summer!

2009-10-29T09:23:00.002+11:00

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

2009-10-28T19:31:00.002+11:00

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

2009-10-20T09:40:00.000+11:00

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?

Dress!

2009-10-17T10:31:00.002+11:00

OMG, i am in love with this dress. Badly.

You can get it here

My head hurts

2009-10-17T09:51:00.002+11:00

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!

2009-10-12T17:09:00.002+11:00

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

2009-10-06T21:49:00.003+11:00

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

That'd be right

2009-10-03T11:29:00.002+10:00

Now, if i was shopping, i would definetly be buying up big from a brand called Friends of Couture , but i'm not so i can't.

2009-10-01T08:37:00.002+10:00

I am excited for today because:
1. I have new pens and highlighters to try out. As a proofreader these are my TOOLS.
2. Spring is here and it's supposed to be about 30 degrees today.
3. Following from previous point- i live ACROSS the road from the ocean!!
4. I am going to go browsing. Not shopping, but browsing.

Update

2009-09-30T17:18:00.002+10:00

I am sure you all would be happy to know that i have NOT bought anything online in nearly a week ( although it has been relatively easy as i have run out of money :p)

However, i have been eyeing off this dress in Sportsgirl- it reminds me of a summer sunset, pinks, oranges and blues. So pretty. I went to try it on the other day and all they had was a size 6 or 14. WTF?

It's not on their website, but if i do end up getting it in-store, i will be sure to post a pic!

I think that's about it. I am still working from home and going to the gym and tennis, but am finding it hard to meet people my age. The gym isn't really a talkative place, and while there are some nice people at tennis, most of them are older. Thoughts? I was thinking of finding an art class, but think i might have the same problem.

Question: Where (apart from work), do you meet new people??

Quits

2009-09-24T08:42:00.003+10:00

Ok, no more online shopping until the 17th October. I mean it.
I seriously need to get this little habit under control!

So......does anyone have any tips?

Also, what on earth am i going ot blog about?

Argh.

Skin stuff

2009-09-21T12:52:00.004+10:00

As much as i love shopping for clothes, i also love skincare and makeup. Normally i am a Clarins or Clinque girl, but have recently bought these two from Benefit cosmetics ( and yes, I am a sucker from pretty packaging!).

Has anyone else used the Dear John cleanser or the You Clean Up Nice face wash?

Jackets

2009-09-13T16:59:00.003+10:00

Ok, so since finding the pink Swing jacet in the previous post, i can't stop looking at them! I also like this from Birds of a Feather, but think the pink from Fred Flare would be good as it has a more 'summery' feel to it...

Fred Flare

2009-09-12T16:57:00.002+10:00

I love the website Fredflare, but am hesitant to buy anything due to the costly postage, BUT i am totally in love with the jacket ( never mind the fact that we are heading into Summer!)

I also like their homewares and stationary- i just can't find any here in Oz that comes close to these...

What do you think? Yay or Nay?

It just keeps going...

2009-09-09T17:57:00.001+10:00

Ok, so the dress saga continues. I am thinking the dress below is slightly more formal ( as it's long) so i have ordered this. I have now bought 3 dresses for 2 weddings. Argh.

What do you think?

Hens show

2009-08-30T19:15:00.004+10:00

So i have a hens show coming up for one of my best friends, and the theme is...Little Black Dress. So of course, i have been looking around for a new one!

What do you think? I like it because it is slighly different because of the ruffle, and i think i could easily dress it up or down. Also it's $130 plus an extra 15% discount. Sounds good to me!

Suprising...

2009-08-26T14:51:00.002+10:00

You know those brands that you used to like, then they came out with a heap of crappy designs so then you gave them the flick? Well, i just re-looked and was suprised! Cheap, but no too bad at all!

Maxi dress, $59 by Sunnygirl

Pants,$39 by Living Doll

Top, $35 by Living Doll.

What do you think? Yay or Nay?

Dress update

2009-08-24T18:21:00.002+10:00

Ok, so i found the 'Wish' dress today on Ebay, with a buy it now price of $100 ( save $80) Yay! I'm a happy girl! ( this pic does not di it justice.)

I also found a another dress, (purple with ruffles), that i plan on getting. I will post a pic when i have it.

You may or may not know it, but i LOVE dresses!

The search continues...

2009-08-16T18:20:00.003+10:00

So, i am still trying to decide what to wear to a couple of weddings i have coming up. It is waaaay to stressful! I did find a couple of contenders on the weekend, one a Charlie Brown silk maxi dress thingy, and Wish strapless dress.

I can't decide between the two, although the fact that the Charlie Brown is $400 and the Wish is under $200 seems to be a factor, but i have never bought a long dress before. You see, i am fairly short, and each time i try them on i know i will need to take them up, so i never bother with them......BUT this one is gorgeous on, and i like the change ( and it shouldn't cost too much to get it taken up). Also, while the wedding is formal, the reception will be right on the beach so it seems fitting.

On the other hand, i also like the Wish dress. A little more sexy, but nice.

I also think i will get plenty of use out of each dress.

Thoughts? I seriously think i might just buy them both to save me the misery, but then that seems a little irresponsible.

Argh.

I just can't stop

2009-08-13T19:13:00.003+10:00

If i had any clothes money left, I would but these outfits. I love the quirkiness and the fact that i don't see them in many stores...

You can get all from Glamourpuss

Stuff up!

Working from home

2009-07-13T18:44:00.004+10:00

As a result of the pending move, my work has allowed me to trial working from home. This is great for 2 reasons;
1. I really like my current job as a proof reader, so now i don't have to look for another one.
2. Since i will be home most of the time i get to buy some more 'homey-like' as opposed to corporate attire. Yea!

I bought these on Friday, along with some more jeans...

And, well, technically i don't need the purse for work, BUT i love the texture of it.

Yep, another one...

2009-07-08T17:52:00.003+10:00

Love this dress, but it has sold out :(

I love the colour and style, so i am entertaining the thought of getting it made. Thoughts?

It's from a website called Mod Cloth. Brilliant!

Busy busy

2009-07-06T19:38:00.002+10:00

So, time for some news!

Brett and I are packing up once again, this time back to NSW- Port Macquarie to be exact. In less than a month we will be living by the ocean enjoying a sea change.

I have really liked living in Brisbane, but being 10 hours from friends and family it a bit hard, and Port Macq. is less then a 3 hour drive.

Brett has been offered a great job, and my work has said that i can work from home. All in all this has turned out really well and we have been VERY lucky with how things have fallen into place.

I think one of the main things I am going to miss ( apart from my new friends) is the SHOPPING! Yes. Caps. I love shopping! Port isn't too bad, but i won't have a Myer or DJ's.... :( I guess the move will be good for my bank balance!

p.s- Thank God for online shopping!

A dress!

2009-06-28T19:11:00.000+10:00

Liking this dress for upcoming weddings. Thoughts?

6. Spaghetti (especially when Brett cooks it)

Deers and stuff

2009-06-23T11:27:00.003+10:00

There is something that i LOVE about this cardi. Is it the deers? The colour? The warmth? Or maybe that fact that it is $29. Bargain.

In other news, i have my exam tomorrow and i am trying to be cool, calm and collected. Argh. Wish me luck!
