Pink Thursday

There is a lot of pink in this post. Quite unintentionally too.

Hope y’all are fond of pink!!

To start the pink parade I will start with the new Missoni umbrellas that I snapped up from OzSale today (and whoever the heck it was that introduced me to OzSale, why did you do this??) for a fresh bargain. Prices started at $70 I think.

The Husband doesn’t have an umbrella so I’ll keep the green one in the car, incase he needs it I suppose but there is a good chance I will never see it again. 

This Kevin Murphy Powder Puff stuff is meant to be awesome. I’m due to wash my hair tonight, (after all, dry shampoo & a headband can only go so far) so will try it out and get back to you! If it is awesome, I will do a video of me using it. Would that be a good idea? I don’t know about this video stuff. I don’t like the sound of my own voice.

 Apparently all the cool people use it and I had no idea. Can I join the cool club now?

The mind is a powerful little feature in a human body.  Earlier this week, these cupcakes were baked by a partners wife and brought to work to share. Kitty left a note next to them saying they were Salmon Cupcakes, and me hating salmon was not sure about it. I ate one and low and behold it tasted like salmon.

Well guess what, they weren’t Salmon Cupcakes at all.

Just regular cupcakes with salmon colored icing. I promise you, I could taste the salmon. I ate 2 more, and I could still taste the salmon. Ergh.

They also matched my nails perfectly! OPI Princesses Rule with OPI Teenage Dream over the top.

If you ‘like’ the Domestic Divinity facebook page, you will already know that yesterday I sighted a gorgeous young woman wearing a tan impeccably tailored trench coat, black patent Christian Louboutins, a nice pencil dress, smart pantyhose, hair in a great bun and flawless make up. She was crossing the road, pulling a small suitcase and I looked at her and was struck with a pang of ‘why don’t I ever look neat and put together?!?!’.

I think some women just have it. I don’t, and for this, I blame you MUM. Thanks a lot. Why didn’t I get these fancy genes?

How about you? Can you wear white and not get it dirty? Stay creaseless all day? 

I used the China Glaze Shocking Pink (neon) again. Grrr. Why didn’t I consult my old blog post about it before this? It’s a matte mess before putting top coat on and it chipped within hours. Not cool dude. 

Matches my highlighter perfectly though. 

I’ve been embracing wearing jewelry and accessories more often so it is time for my Aquamarine & Diamond ring to see more day light. I kind of think that it is too big to wear all the time, but it’s too pretty to live in a jewelry box too. 

How amazing are these?!? I don’t know if they are real, I found them online randomly and have been drooling over them ever since.

Hot damn. Who doesn't want some glittery Louboutins with a bow on them? 

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.
