day 5

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 supre skirt 2007 and bonds t-shirt.



2. both comic book lovers (can anybody say geek) we decided to go and see 'watchmen'. it was an interesting movie but i am still a little undecided as to whether or not i liked it. the special effect was great and a lot of action was to be had, but again there wasn't enough to quench my thirst... something was missing...

3. seeing as though we were out and about i decided to stay back at the mall to shop around for birthday gifts. i couldn't find anything for my partners upcoming birthday, but on the plus side i did find the outfit i will be wearing to his dinner party...

i did also find a gift for his sisters birthday. a compact mirror from oroton... i have always loved this signature design, and i was this close to keeping it for myself... but i didn't.... i do have self control you know... :)

until next time... xoxoxo

day 4

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 to taking me to the gold coast today (many sleepless nights from his teeth), my partner took me to my favourite restaurant, i-sushi. he is so cute...



5. to say thank you i bought him the movie 'hancok' which i knew he has been wanting to watch for a very long time. i have it playing as i write this... must say i am enjoying it, but then again who doesn't like will smith.


xoxo

day 3

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 things up along the way. now that i have the right measurements i will be making a black pair to wear out and about. i am enjoying making things immensely and the best part is that it keeps me occupied ...

2. wore my black singlet and skirt from target...

3. eager to start on my black skirt, i drove to spotlight to grab my supplies. no doubt i will be starting on this project tomorrow some time. :)

4. went to the shops and bought this top/dress from supre... they are having a sale and i couldn't resist this bargain...

5. now at home with a cup of tea and watching a movie with my partner... 15 minutes into it and there is very little about this movie that is keeping me interested... hummm... might surf youtube.

xoxox

day 2

what i did today:

1. wore one of my partners unwanted shirt that i made into a dress, wrist band from just jeans.

2. bought the next book from the twilight series, a little boring so far....

3. went out to lunch with my partner

3. drove my partner to the dentist.... poor guy had both of his wisdom teeth taken out.

i waited in the car due to the fact that i hate the dentists... it was raining...

i wasn't alone....

4. went home and made a bow necklace like the one by lovehearts designs....this is the back view...

here is the front.... its a little big...

will post a tutorial when i get the dimensions and materials exactly right... :)

until then xoxoxo

my week off.... day 1

day 1 what i did:

1. wore my dress by bauhaus 2007 and went out to lunch with my partners sister who is visiting from america.



2. bought a cream dress from supre...

3. bought a pair of sunglasses by ralph lauren. it was a good buy at 25% off the original price. not only does it look like my favourite pair that broke the other day, but it worked out to be around the same price after the discount so i was happy about that.

4. spent the rest of the day figuring out how to sew a simple skirt. will post the results as soon as its finished. :)

until then xoxox

a day in photos

valentines day/ 8th year anniversary/ birthday

yes... valentines day is a very big day for me. so what did i do on this special day?

1. my partner and i gave a promise to one another that we wouldn't celebrate valentines this year... but i guess promises were made to be broken.

when he came home yesterday he had with him a dozen roses and a big smile on his face. you can imagine my delight and surprise to receive such a gift. after giving him a big lecture on breaking promises etc. etc. i pulled out a little gift bag which had in it a bottle of perfume for men by diesel, chocolates and a little something naughty (which we wont get into).

2. later that evening we celebrated his mums birthday by taking her out to dinner. at first we had booked a table at a family restaurant and to our surprise we were informed that the menu was changed for valentines day and it was to be $60 a head... i think we were out of there before the waiter could utter another word...

all dressed up an no where to go, we settled for a non fancy all you can eat diner at good old 'sizzler'. 3 hours, four trips to the buffet and a salmon teriyaki later, we were oblivious to the fact that the once full restaurant was now empty. proves to show that no matter where we went we would have had a great time anyway.

3. wore my bardot denims, vintage broach and bonds singlet...

on to a different topic all together...

"I DONT NEED SEX

THE GOVERNMENT F!#*S ME EVERY DAY!"

we.... (and when i say we, i mean people of australia) received great news this week as the government passed the 42 billion stimulus package. each low income earner will be receiving $900 in the hopes of reviving the economy. money will also be put towards schooling and family support. to that i thank mr tin tin (aka mr kevin rudd) for being so generous to my melbourne jar...

as much as i am happy to receive, there is this nagging voice at the back of my head saying..."you are going to pay for this"....

so what exactly am i afraid of?

in a world where nothing is for free, something as big as 42 billion will have serious repercussions. no doubt unemployment will increase as small businesses are over looked. (ie. small businesses such as photographic studios... get my drift?...) the more i think about it the more it becomes clear that keeping my job; however horrible it may be, is better than a quick $900 in my pocket. i just hope and pray that it wont come to this...

Question: what would you do with an extra $900?

mama mia!

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 as to who my real father is till this day.

2. wore my brown cotton on top... yes yet again... i cant get enough of it. this time i paired it up with my shorts from ice, ring from sports girl, bangle from the philippines, thrifted beads and belt.

3. bought a skirt and a pair of earrings to match from cotton on and an awesome scarf from city beach .

before i go i would like to thank everyone for the compliments on my last post, you made my day.
