Random Stuff

And so begins the post about random stuff that does not deserve an individual post, mainly because I can't be frigged.

You can thank me later.

Check out the dress that my Mum is getting for our wedding! Reow. She will have straps and a shawl though. It looks fantastic on her.

Greg tried to capture the sunset behind me, but it really was not working for us.

I am wearing my Nana's red dress, and my Zu boots which are 6 years old and going strong.

The said sunset.

Does anyone else have bucket full of money sitting on their microwave? I took it upon my self to count it last week and discovered $83!! Bam. Straight to the cas' I go.

My Aspect products arrived, Loving them so far.

Last night I went out to dinner with ze bloggers, Blithely Unaware, Cotton Socks, Holly Pop

and A Freckle to the Left

A real bunch of mis-fits some might say.

I kid, I kid.

We went to Carlisle St Wine Bar, and I had no idea where it was. Whilst in the cab on the way there, my cab driver was picking his nose, inspecting it and then wiping it on his shirt. I had to try so hard to swallow the vom that had worked it's way up my throat and into my gob.

He then tried to dump me on Acland St, telling me I was there. I was so confused. His GPS was wrong, so I ended up having to use my iPhone to direct us, and still had to pay for him being lost. Ergh.

I had the spinach and ricotta gnocchi, but I must say, I didn't really like it. It was dull and gluggy.

Fritelle (Doughnuts)

Cheese and stuff.

Holly and I

I'm so glad I met you girls, you are all so sweet and clearly hilarious.

I had my nails Shellac'd at Miss Fox this morning, and used the colour 'Romantique' which I love and is perfect for our wedding.

I think that it is in between OPI Sweetheart & Bubble bath, which are both my faves.

I love the salon, can't wait to have our hair and make up done there for the wedding.

Wedding, Wedding, Wedding. This shizz is taking over my life.

Romantique

You can't see it, but on my ring finger nail there is some slight bubbling. I didn't notice until I left the salon though.

Shellac polishes are quite glossy I think, but not any more so than my usual OPI with a top coat.

If they really do last 2+ weeks without chipping, I will be a regular.

I also bought this little CND Essentials Solar Oil Nail & Cuticle Conditioner ($8) which feels quite nice on.

I am currently staring at the back of my brother Greg's neck, and all I want to do is pick his black heads. It is an all time fave hobby of mine. There is your interesting (and I use the word loosely) fact of the day.

The Dress is Nearly Finished!

I got in trouble for having filthy hair!!

I was not going to share any more wedding dress photos, until the day (6 weeks to go!!) but I am just too excited and need to show people!!

The dress is nearly finished now. I had a slight moment of FML when Rose asked "Have you put on weight!?!?!" Mum was telling me not to panic, and that it will be okay but the dress is pulling across my hips. If I don't lose the weight (I'm already 1kg down so will be fine) they will have to let it out!! Damn you hips, damn you to hell.

Le Reception Dress.

Still waiting on my frigging necklace to arrive. It is stuck in customs in Chicago. Noooo.

Excellent. I can sit.

Oh, and I can breathe.

Just.

The silk has yet to be pressed hence the wrinkles.

I can't wait until it has the silk covered buttons, they are so cute.

You could smuggle a couple of Mexicans across the border under my skirt!!!

This is just a mock veil, mine will be french tulle so very soft. The length is right though.

Note my bow? How could I not have a bow on my wedding dress?

This is just silk knotted, not the actual bow, as it was a last minute decision. What a fantastic decision at that.

Loving life.

Mum and I.

Hi.

My camera died half way through, hence the crappy iPhone pics.

To me, this dress is perfection. It is my dream dress and I feel a gazillion dollars in it.

I nearly cried to be honest. I had the tears, but I didn't want my mascara coated tears to drop on the dress!

I know I have said it a million times, but Rose at Annette of Melbourne is my dream dress maker. I can't even muster the words to tell her how much I love the dress.

Well, that's all folks. I have a few more fittings to go, but this is the last time you will see the dress until the wedding. I can't believe it has come around so quickly.

I only sent my invites out on Thursday, I'm a bit of a slacker.

Battle of the Bulge

Most brides like to look their best on their wedding day, and usually this leads to losing weight and getting healthier.

So many people asked me "Are you going on a wedding diet??" that it got to the annoying stage and I ended up over eating, whilst thinking "Eff you. No, I'm not dieting".

I weighed my self for the first time in 2 months last night, after realising there was a problem when I could not get my jeans over my thighs. I nearly cried. I have never weighed a smidge over 53kg in my life, and now, 56.5.

I know that I have put on some weight, and I also have my period for the first time in 10 months (Thank you very much Implanon!) but I don't think period fluid retention would be 3.5kg!!

I'm not going to lie, I wallowed in self pity all of last night.

I'm in no way saying that 56.5kg is a large amount to weigh, but it is all relative.

Here I am going to the gym last night, at least I know that my tummy is just bloated, and it will go down, BUT STILL.

My 2 new besties.

Time to watch what I eat, and stop shoving my face to show people that I don't need to diet.

I have my full wedding gown fitting on Saturday, it probably won't do up!!

I need to step up my exercise regime obviously, boot camp twice a week aint doin' shizz.

Sorry about the pity party, I'm having a bad day!!

All I need is to get back to my normal weight and I will be a happy camper. I think it will take about 3 weeks.

JettBlack, Trak & Chapellis

I don't know how I found the energy to go out on Saturday, after drinking both Thursday and Friday night, but I some how managed.

We started at JettBlack, then moved on to Trak (It was better this time, but it may have been because I was drunk and with excellent company) and ended up at Chapellis for a 5am feed.

Thank you Instagram for giving me the tan that I desperately needed!!

The Three Musketeers reunited!

Why are we on the floor? I do not have an answer for this. Maybe we were tired after some serious booty poppin'

I wore this Victoria's Secret Dress

The only thing I dislike about this dress is that the ties around the waist go around to the back of the dress, and create a puffy bit around the stomach.

Still resting after busting out the booty pops like pro strippers.

How cute is Vanessa's face here?

Me and all my mates.

One too many shots later...

The lens thingy on my camera won't move out of the way when I'm taking a photo unless I poke it with my fingers, so annoying. Considering it is a new camera, I am going to take it back to be fixed.

We randomly met up with some of Celeste & Vanessa's friends at Trak, and ended up going to Chapellis for a late night feed around 5am.
