Where.. where... where?

WHERES WALLY??


Ralph Lauren Jumper

Nike Leggings

Late Night Mickey D

Last night Celeste, Vanessa and I headed out to Jett Black on Greville Street again.


I love that moment when you get to the end of a very long line and you hear "Oh, these girls are regulars, let them straight in" - the power of being a group of 3 girls!!


I was having an ugly night so no photos were taken, except by the official photographer so maybe I will share that when it goes online.


I started the night in a fitted coral long sleeve dress, but knew I would sweat it up if I was dancing in the sauna that is Jett Black so changed into this Jane Lamerton dress.

I have gotten a lot of wear out of this dress considering I bought it on Wednesday before Easter.

I wore it to my Nannas funeral, to Easter Church and then to work during the week!!

I have never worn a dress 4 times in 2 weeks!!!


I feel pretty bad for constantly declining the guy who runs the night, when he adds me on facebook (he doesn't get the hint after 4 declines..) now that he was so nice last night.



Of course we had to have The Late Night Meal of Champions after Jett Black. We literally drove around for 20 minutes looking for a McDonalds.

McChicken Burger with Extra McChicken Sauce

Small Fries



I fed majority of my fries to this seagull, I named him Jim.



I'm getting BRACES... again!

So, guess what I am doing in 2 weeks?

Yep, thats right. Getting my top teeth corrected, again.


I had braces for three years and wore my retainers religiously at night time once they were removed.. and then I moved in with S.

I can't talk when I have them in, I dribble in my sleep, I do all sorts of freaky shit.


I stopped wearing them nightly. It went from nightly, to once a week, to once a fortnight, to once every 2 months, to "I've left my retainer in Los Angeles!!!".


My bottom teeth started to moved a year back and I had my teeth shaved down inbetween them, then straightened out with a plate and then a permanent bar placed on the back of my teeth which has solved that problem.

Pity about the 5 teeth to the right of my big teeth. They have all merged back, so far back that in photos they look a different colour as they have a shadow on them.


It has driven me nuts. I hate it.


I went to my Orthodontist yesterday, taking a sneaky 2 hour lunch break, and the news that the only way to repair it would be to have my top braces put back on, but this time on the inner of my mouth so not visible, and to then have the metal bar put on in 6 months time.

I agreed. $3,000 later.

At least my teeth will be perfect again.


Teeth are one of the things I always notice on a person, they are very important to me.


I would have said yes even if I had to have the braces on the front of my teeth, they would be kind of cute!!

iPhone Photos 29/4/11

Here are some photos I took yesterday on my iPhone using Instagram.


I am going out in an hour, yet am sitting here, with dirty hair. I need to get in the shower but prefer to procrastinate.


Toastie from Browns Bakery on Toorak Rd, Toorak.
Red Chair in the lobby at The Eureka Tower.




Southbank





Another red chair at Eureka..


White

Can someone please help a girl out and tell me what these flowers are called?


I love them.

I bought this bunch today at the South Melbourne Market.




They look perfectly at place in that vase, along with my beautiful candle holders.


I love the fullness, they are almost fluffy, like peonies.


Fresh flowers make my day.

The Royal Wedding

I get goosebumps every time I look at photos of this wedding.

I feel so lucky to have been able to watch it.


William & Harry looked so handsome in their uniforms!


I think that Carole got this look 100% correct. Stunning, timeless and classy.
I must be the only out there that loves whatsherfaces outfit! Okay, the bow hat looks like reindeer horns - I get that, but the rest of the outfit is divine. I would wear it in a heart beat!


I don't know about you, but the hair on the back of my neck stood up when I saw Kate.

I feel as though I have no words to describe her.
Prettttyyyyyy sure I predicted the lace sleeves on this very blog a few days back!
I think that the sleeves paired with the V neck and sweetheart neckline are what made it so classic yet modern at the same time.
Her waist is to die for, so tiny!



Dayam, Pippa looked smoking hot.

I still don't think she stole the show though, how could she?!!?





I love this photo, they were sticking to protocol and being very serious the whole time, but obviously snuck this grin in!


I think she was the perfect bride, 100%. I can not fault one thing about her.

If I look 20% as good on my wedding day I will be thrilled.


I loved the second kiss, the first one was so quick!



Perfect Royalty.


I can't stop looking at that waist!


The Cartier tiara was magnificent also!


I did not see this part on the telecast last night, and let out a massive "Awwwwwww" when I saw these photos.


Loving all of the decorations, good work Harry!

(PS. Am I the only one who does not find Harry cute?!)


The Reception Dress


Stunning all over again.

In fact, I am having a very similar belt with my wedding dress!!!!

Not sure about the angora bolero but hey, it was cold!


I hope the release a photo without the bolero on it.

I also wonder what sort of shoes Kate was wearing?



Lovely dress, pretty low cut though!!

The Middletons are a stunning family.


I feel so lucky to be able to say I watched The Royal Wedding,

NOTD

Nail Polish Of The Day


OPI - Ate Berries in the Canaries


As I have nothing better to do, I have posted multiple background shots to show how the colour is affected by different backgrounds, even though it's all under the same light.

Very excited to watch The Royal Wedding tonight!!!


Curry Time

Sometimes I crave food. Actually, that's a lie. I always crave food.

Today my craving was Green Curry, Roti Bread and steamed rice.


S is interstate so I am fending for my self in the food stakes, which means I can get take away and not have to have him tsk tsk me.


I walked home with my order, and then realised that they did not include the rice. I then spilled curry over the kitchen floor.



Fear not, it still tasted delicious.


Here is is, on our ironing board.


I have enough left over for tomorrows lunch also - hurrah!


I just spoke to my friend Beetroot who proclaimed "You make me sick." after hearing what I had for dinner. Weirdo.

I spoke to him for 46 minutes, that boy can talk.


Royal Wedding Fever

I have Royal Wedding Fever.

I have had it for a while now!


I can't wait to watch it!!! I don't know if it is because I love a fairy tale ending or just that I am generally wedding obsessed.


What do you think she will wear?


I see her in something with lace sleeves.
A less is more approach.



Are you sick of the coverage yet? I'm not!!



Creepy Cake Toppers!

For those who have been wondering what I am talking about when I say "Creepy Cake Toppers" this is it.


Cake toppers, made to resemble the bride and groom.

I love a little bit of tack.


They will not actually be on the cake, it's far too beautiful for a cake topper, but they will be on the cake table.
I have to send the website (wowminime) pictures of our faces, heigh difference, wedding dress, tux, flowers etc so that it can resemble us as much as possible.

I love that they are ceramic so we can keep them for ever!

I can't deny that they are creepy, but I think that is what makes me love them!!

Wedding Shopping FRENZY

I have gone mad.


I'm experiencing a wedding shopping frenzy.


I just ordered these cute little bouquet tiles for the bouquets at the wedding, but they say different things and are personalised to each girl.


I also got this ring bearers bowl, again, with different wording but I will keep that a surprise.
Yippeee.

I need to order our creepy personalised cake toppers today or tomorrow also, whilst I am on a roll.

The above are from etsy seller, Palomas Nest.

Bridesmaid Earrings

I have purchased these stunning Swarovski Crystal Earrings for my 3 sisters, my bridesmaids.


From the website:

"This elegant pair of rhodium-plated earrings oozes sophistication. Shimmering in deep blue tones, the stunning Montana crystal is highlighted by a magnificent gradation of crystal colours set in pavé."
Meringue Montana Pierced Earrings

My bridesmaids will have their hair up, and with each dress having a different neckline, I think these will compliment perfectly.


Weighty Issues...

As soon as people realise your wedding is approaching, the ol' diet queries start.

Should you really be eating that?
What special diet are you on?

What?! You are not dieting?? What about your dress!!!

Surely, SURELY, you intend on shaping up?


Uh, no actually. I don't intend on losing any weight for the wedding.

What fun would that be? S likes me with a little bit of meat, and so do I!


Sure, I'll amp up on the arms/shoulders/back weights, but I am not making an effort to diet.


My Reception dress is made for a body with shape...

Morning Tea.
I am still loving instagram.

Newby

S bought me this lovely, lovely, lovely 5.55ct Round Aquamarine ring in white gold, with .45ct of diamonds on the shoulder yesterday as a 'conversion gift'.


I tried to refuse a gift when he mentioned it a month or so a go as I don't need to be bribed, I actually want to convert, but he wanted to show his appreciation of my converting, and this I can appreciate.


He said it was worth buying it for me, just to see me giddy with happiness and smiling ear to ear for the rest of the day!


What can I say, my happiness can apparently be bought. (I kid, I kid)

It is currently being re-sized to fit my stupidly small fingers, and I should have it in my grubby paws in 5-10 days.


I can't wait to take some proper photos of it as this photo does nothing for it's beauty.


I have been wanting a large aquamarine for a while now, in either pear or round as they are the only 2 shapes that I really love, but whenever I found one they were not quite big enough, or the blue was not right, but this little baby is perfection.

Flowergirl Dresses - Check!!

I gave up on the Leona Edmiston Flowergirl Dresses. They were beyond impossible to track down.



I bought these cute flowergirl dresses today instead, from David Jones.



The brand is Jesse and they were $109.95.



They match our cake perfectly!! Hurrah. Nothing else does.

I have no skill when it comes to creating Bows but I'm sure someone can tie a lovely one on the day.


Hopefully little Raina and Thomas are walking by September, as they are not yet!!

If not, they can be pulled in a red wagon by the 2 older kiddos.




It feels nice to tick that off my list.


Tick!
