The Weekend

On Saturday we went to Liz's house for a visit and to say goodbye to Jo & Trev who are leaving Melbourne. 

Geefa was there and told me that he had my birthday present, and would give it to me now as he would be in Adelaide for the Tour Down Under on my actual birthday (Sat 21) and went to the car and came back carrying an orange Hermes bag. 

I squealed Yipppeeee and he quickly said "It's just a bill in an orange bag HAHAHAHAHAHA" and cracked himself up, but low and behold, there was no bill!

 Instead I found this...

Clic-Clac H Laque

Wide enamel bracelet in Black with Black lacquered H, silver & palladium plated, 2cm wide 6cm diameter

PM Size

I absolutely adore the black H as it is a good change from the original. 

No joke though, once I put it on I could not work out for the life of me how to open it and get it off! I nearly had to sleep in it but then the ladies from Twitter helped me out! 

On Saturday night I went out to BlueCorn in St Kilda with holly pop lolly pop, blithely unaware, cotton socks and a freckle to the left. 

Hi Holly. 

All the girls did blog posts, so check them out.

The other girls are too heinously ugly to feature on my blog. 

(kidding, they are crazy gorgeous)

Corn chips & Guacamole 

Nachos

Coconut Prawn Fajita 

How much would you give me to drink the entire bottle??

On Friday (yep, these posts are backwards) The Husband messaged me and said "Let's go shopping, I need to blow some cash" to which I replied "You have come to the right woman". 

People think I have a shopping problem, well, he is bad. It's like he forgets just how many shirts and ties he has because they do not all fit in his wardrobe so are in baskets, bags, hanging devices and whatnot. I need to get one of the rack things and make sure that they are on display all of the time. I need to go through my drawers also and get rid of everything that I have not worn in the past year. I always buy gorgeous lingerie but in real life, it is not appropriate as ruffles, bows etc. don't exactly lend to good silhouettes now do they?

Anyway, I feel like they pump some form of noxious gas into the Mens wear section at Myer and David Jones as I always get so drained when I am in there.

 Funnily enough, this doesn't happen in the womens wear sections...

I got this Oroton umbrella for $25 from David Jones (it's $25 online too) as I left my coral Oroton umbrella in Fiji (Well, it was taken by the housekeeper but never mind.....) 

This Oroton gold glitter polish for $10 down from $25

When someone says "You pick where we eat for dinner" and you want to go to the Pancake Parlour and they say no, how is it really your choice?! 

Grilld it is. 

We watched Girl with the Dragon Tattoo and loved it. There are some very unsettling scenes in the movie however but if you have read the books you already know this.

I didn't love the movie like I loved the book, but I never do. A book is always better than the movie version as you can paint the picture how you want. Lisbeth was incredibly convincing. I have not seen the original movie though. 

You know those terrible My Family stickers (and I just know that I am offending 10092220028 people with that remark)? Well, Geefa has one on his car that he is quite proud of, but it doesn't really feature his family does it..

I spent Sunday taking down my Christmas Tree, at the park reading The Girls Guide to Homelessness and then Sunday night reading Water for Elephants in bed.

I painted my nails with China Glaze Shocking Pink (Neon) and it took 4 coats to dissolve the streakiness, and it started to chip 4 hours after application. Sure, the colour looks awesome but with 4 coats needed it is a pain in the ass.

Whilst shopping I also picked up a Marcs dress on sale and Chanel Inimatable Intense Mascara in Noir. This stuff is AMAZING!!! I am loving it. Why have I been using a crap, dry and clumpy mascara for so long?!

I would love to know what your favourite mascara is. I need to create a massive list of cosmetics for The Husband to buy when he goes to America in March. 

I also want to know what the yummiest restaurant in Melbourne that you have eaten at is as I need to find somewhere to go for my Birthday Dinner with Husbo and so far the Pancake Parlour is looking good.
