Dresses

I love this dress by Mimosa.

I can haz cheesburger

hehe, love this website!

Found it!

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!

A dress!

Liking this dress for upcoming weddings. Thoughts?

Things I am loving right now

1. Clairns beauty products
2. Sarah Blasko
3. Radio Head (old)
4. Clothing by Wish and Review
5. Coats!!! I have bought 4 this winter and i am in Brisbane, a place that doesn't get particulary cold!
6. Spaghetti (especially when Brett cooks it)

Deers and stuff

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!

Shopping update

Yesterday i won this top on Ebay. I have been lusting after it forever!

Birdy

I am really like bird themed accessories. I'm not sure why, but i am going with it...




You can get these from here

It's getting cold...

so time to pull out the winter wardrobe...

Reading...

This book makes me cry everytime i read it...


An not that sniffle cry, i mean a gut-wrenching, sob type of cry.
It is just an awesome book.

Boots

Loving these boots:

And at $70 they are a bargain, however they are out of my size :(

Although, if you are an 8 or a 10, you can get them here

Homewares

This is the best photo holder i've seen in a long time!

And this is the best jewellery organiser i've ever come across.

That is all.
:)

Dresses

Now, everyone knows that I love to shop online (clothes, purses, makeup etc), but i have never bought handmade clothes online, specifically Esty. I was having a quick browse and came across this lovely dress.


A good friend of mine is getting married in November and i am strongly thinking about buying this. The wedding is going to be formal, and I think this dress is sophisticated, timeless, classy, and easy to accessorise.

My only issue is- do you think it might be to brides-maidy??

You can get this dress here

So, what do you think?

It's been a while between posts! I'm not really sure why, probably a mixture of laziness, lack of inspiration and...um, laziniess. However, I am back and have a very important decision to make...


Should i buy this bag?



I like it for three reasons;
1. It's pretty
2. I don't have one like it
3. It's pretty

You can get it here
Thoughts?

In love with...

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
