found this 70s dress at the op shop. the asking price was $20 but i haggled it down to $15, love a bargain even more if i can manage to make it cheaper.;) it did need some work done to it though... it came all the way down to my toes and it had a couple of stains around the bottom, so i needed to cut a lot of it off, and because of the type of material its made out of it also had to be hand

went to australia zoo a couple of weeks back with a friend and her two kids... he kids had fun, and me... not so much because i had seen it all before on my 24th birthday.  but hey, i still enjoyed the elephants and the tigers but most of all terri erwins line of clothing, check out the name!

so as mentioned before i have a new job... where? at a motel in their conferences and events department.  i work amongst a lot of paper pushing, corporate zombie types in 2x2 cubicles. the 'coporates' as they call them, although hard working seem to be just all work and no play. most of the laughter and smiles come from the cleaners of the motel, who to me seem more welcoming and pleasant to be

i am at work... bored. i can always ask for something to do but i choose not too. last time i did ask for more admin related jobs they told me to concentrate on my current job which is to clean up the kitchens and look after the catering and meeting rooms.  so yeah it's a bullshit job and i don't want to be here, so why should i show initiative right...?  i wish i had my old photography job

it is best to make the most out of the end of season sale and stock up on those shorts.  here is one i picked up from ses for $5.  but keep in mind, when bargain shopping ask yourself... can i use this again next summer?  my suggestion, stick to the basic colours and shape.  you don't want to be stuck with something that will date. but hey, for $5 you cant go wrong. xoxox

i was out to meet with mum and because she can be so judgemental with what i wore and how i presented myself and i was faced with the inevitable question... what the hell do i wear?  and after trying on 3 different outfits with none of them working i decided not to get frustrated but instead i opted to  reach my arm into the dark pit that was the bottom of my closet, dusted off some cob webs

ok, so had a job interview at a photography place yesterday so instead of the formal outfit i needed something that was memorable and funky... so i wore my black dress and my yellow stockings.  never been used before in the fear of being too bold.  but to my surprise i received a lot of looks from people... some good some bad, but regardless... i felt like the injection of colour really made me

valentines day..was low key this year,strictly no gift giving just a dinner out. j took me to delugo, the restaurant where we had dinner on the night of the proposal. it was very sweet, i think it might be another tradition of ours in the making.

went to the vintage fair with my friend emma...sometimes at these places i tend to be a little picky because of the price and often come out with nothing, this day was one of them. the highlight of the day was an armadillo bag. before after... poor little armadillo...wore:skirt = icesinglet = thriftedbefore heading home my friend surprised me with a little giftfrom her shop. it now sits on my

i haven't posted in a while so i will try and keep this as short as possible.... what have i been up to: went to the movies last week.... saw confessions of a shopaholic and loved it! i laughed and cried and was probably the oldest person there. my favourite character wassuze played by krysten ritter...bought a vest from iceand wore it to my partners birthday dinner. we went to 'the german club'

what i did today:1. i love love love bourjois... i just wish i had enough money to buy the whole collection... there is time. for now my second addition to my collection is this lip tint in rose pixel. what is great about it is that when you put it on it actually doesn't feel like you have anything on. and it lasts for a long time...i also think that their adds are cute... how wonderful would it

the last day of my holidays... so what did i get up to?1. being the last day i was kind of tired and wanted to stay home. however, upon thinking things through i realised that officially my holidays are over, but i do have 2 more days (sunday and monday my weekend equivalent) to recuperate and stay at home. so with this in mind my partner and i decided to go out and watch a movie.... i wore my

what i did today:1. nothing much... we did however get the chance to meet the new addition to the j's family. little mia... she was perfect in every way. 10 fingers, 10 toes really long feet. she didn't cry at all apart from when it was time for her to feed and soon after she was fine. i think mia and i will get along just fine.2. finally wore my bardot dress... 3. feeling bad that he wasn't up

what i did today:1. spent most of the morning in bed... my partners teeth were bleeding profusely last night so we went to the hospital to check on his stitches and we didn't get home until midnight. not to worry he is fine... when i did get enough energy to get up out of bed i finished sewing my skirt. i don't think i did that badly considering i didn't have a pattern to work from and made

what i did today:1. woke up at 1am and couldn't get back to sleep. so i turned on the computer and started watching youtube and found this guy... he is awesome and funny and oh so cuddly looking. i suggest you check him out. anyway an hour of watching his entries i get a call from my partners mother with the great news that his sister was in labour and that we needed to give them a lift to

what i did today:1. emma warned me that the village markets were small, but still curiosity got the better of me. so my partner and i drove down to the gold coast to check out the hand full of stalls that were there. they were great stalls that sold beautiful vintage clothes and shoes, but sadly money is an issue this month with birthdays just around the corner. i did however grab this bow

what i did today:1. whined and winged until i was granted my wish… my partner took me to see 'twilight'. after reading the first book and currently enjoying ‘the new moon’, i found the sudden need to see the movie on the big screen instead of waiting for its arrival on dvd. so off to the movies we went, and can i say that i was thoroughly disappointed.i honestly did not expect it to be as bad as

what i did today:1. met up with my mum for lunch and then did a little window shopping. i showed her the bag i placed on lay-by. needless to say she wasn't impressed by the price.i also gave her a copy of mama mia. i know she is going to love the movie because she is a big fan of abba and without giving too much away; 1 woman + 3 men at the same time = 1 spawn (me)... yes i am a little uncertain

what i did today:1. today was austalia day. people celebrate this momentous occasion by hanging out at the beach, drinking lots of beer and having a barbie with family and friends. for my partner and i we usually take a long drive to the country so that we can listen to a radio station called triple j. at this time each year they list the top 100 songs as voted by the australian public.this
