Excited

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

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

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

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

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

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...

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

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...

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

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...

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

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!

Sorry about the last pic! Here is the link


I did order the dress too, but i wont get it for another week or so.

Want this dress BADLY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Working from home

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...

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

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!
