Lace & First Gear

I love this dress so much. It is awesome, just awesome I tell you!!


It's the one my mum got me from French Pony. I don't know the brand and I am too comfortable to get up and find out. Sorry about that. 


It was too big around the waist but I've packed on a bit of extra cushioning and low and behold it fits me.
Not that I am justifying my weight gain as a positive since I now fit this dress better... or am I?!

It’s the perfect work winter dress, short sleeves since I swelter under down lights all day, and thicker fabric than your standard dress.


Plus, it's damn cute. 

I am wearing these Windsor Smith $50 bad boys to death and they still look good! 


Patent makes everything look better. Just make sure you are wearing undies, ha. 

This is China Glaze – Jitterbug but I feel like it is failing me and not wearing very well.

I want to have robot fingers for more than 3 days okay. Is that too much to ask for? Is it?!

The palm of my hand looks so soft and fleshy.

Speaking of soft and fleshy, how disgusting is that story of the naked guy eating the other naked guys face off in America?! Gah.

I drove my Mother in Laws car to work on Thursday and I drove half the way in first gear.

It's an automatic car, but with steptronic. I couldn’t work out why the revs were so high when I was driving and then I realized I didn’t have it in Drive, but in First. Derrrr.

My bad. 

Don’t you think it is weird that this car has broken English?! 

Damn you Steptronic. Apparently our car has it, but I don't even know how to enable it. 

Kitty and I schlepped around Myer and David Jones for about 4 hours on Friday night, stripping down the lingerie racks for bargains. I got 10 pairs of Elle McPherson & other similar designers undies for $85. Yes please.

We look like mushrooms. 

We were also given these La Mer samples to try, and also the oil absorbing lotion, but could not find it when I took this photo.

I'm not in the market to change my skin care, but am still interested to know more about the healing properties that La Mer apparently have.. Have you used it? How did you justify the crazy price?

It's been fresh to death lately so I whipped out this hoodie which I bought whilst in line to the boat to go and see the Statue of Liberty in NYC.

It was so freezing that despite all of the layers I had on, I was still shivering and we ended up leaving and not taking the boat trip in the end.

This tacky tourist hoodie comes in handy on a cold night though!

I've had a bazillion "Great blog. Check out my (insert florist, clothes, toothpaste, dog food etc) company" comments lately and I am sick of the spam grr.
