I won ( again!)

I just won a bottle of Daisy by Marc Jacobs through an Australian website that has comps. Yay.

Memory Lane

Guess who it is?? Joey Lawrence. Awww, i have missed him- how about you?

Nothing my love can't fix


Now, who feels like watching Blossom?

I won

Sugarbomb by Benefit Cosmetics $51.00



Yay!!

Argh.

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

Fail

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

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!

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

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






and this coat






So in love.

Big decisions

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

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

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

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

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

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

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?

Mod Cloth

Mod cloth favourites...

Very bad...

First day back at work. Wish me luck!

Very important...

Last day of work before Christmas. Huzzah!

Update

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.
