RAW DECOR.

If you follow me on Instagram you may have noticed a few shots of cotton socks' new store, amongst the photos of artfully arranged breakfast and OOTD shots that litter Instagram.

Raw Decor, that is the store.
I'm a poet and I didn't even know it.

You can find Raw Decor at 93 Victoria Avenue, Albert Park.

I used to work a few doors up, if only I still worked there so I could spend my lunch breaks gossiping with cotton socks instead of whatever crap I used to do.

Nelly gives these childrens chairs a massive tick of approval, as you can see.

I honestly want everything in here.

I need a money tree.

I would really love a bedhead like this, in a vibrant colour for a guest bedroom. 

Keeping in mind that we don't have a guest bedroom...

cotton socks is happy to take phone orders should you be interstate.

Make sure you like her Facebook and Instagram Pages to keep up to date on the awesome stock that she has her well manicured hands on.

It looks like blithely unaware was on a ladder when she took this at Jocks Ice Cream. 

I couldn't resist this pineapple christmas tree deco, and it was only $9 - bargain.

Are you in Melbourne? Will you pop in? Do you like what you see?

Same old stuff.

Look, here is something you haven’t seen before.

Me, cross eyed in the bathroom mirror, in a colour block dress and wedges. Fancy that.

I quite like this dress, it’s light and comfortable.  Good for the warmer weather. 

I feel sorry for my work, I try and be well meaning and wear a blazer but I am just roasting at my desk despite my fan working overtime. Every day is like Casual Friday for me.  I try and make up for it with my charm though.  Not sure how that is working for me.

It’s online, but appears to be sold out. You can see it here any way. I think it was about $29.  If ordering online from Target maternity, I say stick with your normal size as I have still been an 8 in all their stuff, but their sizes do fluctuate a lot. 

A bump and a flash of cleavage. 

I went to the ballet with Merowyn last week and on the way I was roped in to buying a crepe from the enthusiastic French fellow despite my planning to get grapes from the fruit man next door.  I regretted it so quickly, they were not stingy on the nutella let me tell you.

 I haven’t been enjoying sweet stuff very much this pregnancy, I'm all about the savoury. 

The ballet was beautiful! People were in tuxedos and I was very under dressed because it was 30 degrees and my feet were swollen so I just had on sandals, this blue Kookai dress and a long necklace.

Before the ballet, I had a threading appointment and then had my hair blow dried but raced home to soak my feet in cold water for a bit as they were in agony. Glad I did as I needed to change necklaces anyway. This does not match at all. 

We decided to put the baby in her cot from the very start, and to have a day bed in the nursery for me to nap on if I want to between feeds rather than going back to our room.

I was hard at work trying to decipher how I could fit a day bed in the nursery when it dawned on me that I couldn't get the previously shown change table.

Never mind, I ordered the matching Incy Interiors change table.  At least it matches the cot and I got it for 20% off thanks to Tegan's keen spotting. 

Look, everything is cut to scale. It will fit, but wont leave much room to do ballet or get crunk. 

I've found all the décor for the room that I am getting, except the rug. I need to see the room finished and then will decide whether to get one or not. 

Anyway, I am out of nonsense to type about. 

Share the Love.

It's time to share the love guys. That's what this blog is all about. Sharing is caring.

Please take uno momento to go to the 2011 Pedestrian Blogster Awards and click on Blithely Unaware to vote for Merowyn & Hamish!

Every time I visit the blog, I end up raiding my pantry and binging. I blame you Merowyn.

Blithely Unaware

Snaps to anyone who instantly recognises where the name of the blog is from...

Unlike my blog name which is meant to be tongue in cheek about my domestic uselessness, oh well, at least I rock an apron like it is nobodies business.

Statement

I am currently on the hunt for the perfect statement necklace to wear with my 'Reception Dress'.

I have been killing Merowyn from Blithely Unaware by asking her opinion on hundreds of said statement necklaces.

We think we have narrowed it down to two.

They are both Very Wang.

La di Da.

Whilst on the topic of necklaces, I got this bad boy in New York City at Lord & Taylor.

Shortly after paying for it, my credit card declined on another small purchase which lead me to thinking I had maxed it out, and not shopping any more.

Turn out I had not maxed it out. It must have been a terminal fault.

Dammit.

I'm really squeezed into the above dress. I don't know why I still have it, my bust does not fit any more. I just wanted to show the necklace with something white and strapless, like my reception dress.

It has sentimental value though, I was wearing it the night I met S.

I also had on a blue necklace and pink sparkly Steve Madden heels.
