The Weekend!

I feel like my Siri is really stupid. Does anyone else feel the same way? We asked her "Is it raining outside?" and this is what she thinks I said, and her response. Rightyo then. I usually have her turned off. She is not as helpful as the ads would have you believe.

I know that I have said it a zillion times, but I want a dog so badly. I got this cute little Sausage Dog statue at Target for $12 and S just looked at me like I was insane. Whatever. He is awesome and lives on our bedside table now.

One of our generous clients gave some of the staff some chocolates, they were so delish! I don't mind a box of artisan chocolates, that's for shizzle.

S has been well trained - if I do say so myself. If he is going to eat them whilst I am not home, he must only eat half. I don't want to miss out on the flavours!!

I wore my Gorman dress to work during the week, I love this dress. I really do.

 It doesn't sit right on my waist though, more on my rib cage so I kind of feel like it makes me look thicker than I am. Never mind. Still good. I wore it with my Zara heels and now have no idea where they are.

Look, a ladybug thought I was a flower. Silly little ladybug. I remember I only ever used to see red ladybugs.

This is how I wore it to Stakes Day if you need a refresher!!

As I am slack/trying not to spend too much money, I normally get 3 weeks out of my shellac, but as our work Christmas party is this Friday I changed it up after 2 weeks in order to be able to have the right colour for the Festive Season.

Hot Pop Pink and Zillionaire - after 2 weeks.

I have OPI Strawberry Margarita on my toes, and it is a very close match if anyone is interested.

Here is a photo of me being the awkward human being that I am on Friday.

After work, I was rushing to get my nails done at Miss Fox  as I was running late, surprise, surprise and on the way a guy ran after me, grabbed my arm to stop me and told me he just had to meet me. Flattered much?!

He asked what I was doing and I replied that I was going to go and have a manicure and he said that he bet I was getting a colour to seduce the world. I told him that my husband might not approve of me seducing the world. He said he wished he met me earlier, before I got married. What a charmer.

I totally give him points for chasing after me on the street. I think that would be a great pick up tool.

Welcome back, Long Arm. It's been a while since you have popped up.

Wearing my Target Dress. The Husband said to me "Love that dress" and I proudly said, "Thanks, it's from Target!!!". I think a compliment is better on a bargain dress than on a pricey dress for some reason.

I took this photo whilst waiting to meet a friend at The Tan running track the other day, before I broke my phone. I still haven't had it fixed because Vodafone said it will cost $350 excess with my insurance. I will also make an appointment to see Apple. I'm getting used to using it now though!

andddd the standard weekend shots. Coffee, Macarons, Breakfast.

If The Husband does not have a coffee, I just can't deal with him. Snappy like a Crocodile.

Yesterday I decided that the day had come to find my jeans. When we found them, they were crinkled and had shrunk from being in the wash/dryer. The Husband said "There is no way you will fit them!. They look like they belong to Ashleigh-Rose."

Well, I showed him. The old trick of laying on the bed and then jumping around to get them on worked a treat.

New Shellac by Miss Fox in Wildfire

It really has been so long since I wore a red nail, but wanted to match a red ribbon bow belt from Review that I am wearing to my Christmas party.

When I sat down in Miss Fox, the lady next to me turned and exclaimed that it was so weird to see me! She is a blog reader and fellow voguette who went to Miss Fox on my suggestion!

So lovely to meet you & I hope you enjoyed your quick Melbourne holiday!!!

In other news, this amazing Zimmermann dress is back on eBay after the winner unfortunately could not pay.  To bid on this stunning New with Tags maxi dress, click HERE

Happy Monday! (Haha, yeah right).

Beans. Shellac. Bunnies in Coffee Cups.

This is how my Shellac is looking 22 days after it was applied. I am impressed.

It is still shiny and has not chipped. Considering I type a bazillion letters every day at cut throat speed, which has been the enemy to polishes in the past. If I could get a week without OPI chipping and cracking, it was a miracle.

 This is 2 coats of Romantique. I wanted something soft and subtle for our wedding.

 The re-growth of my nails is annoying, but with a colour like this it doesn’t really matter. I am having them re-done on Saturday. Any shellac colour suggestions?

I have my sister Jo’s wedding next week, and my dress is a mint green kind of colour – I am thinking of maybe having a cream polish or a soft lilac? No idea…

 Has anyone had a french manicure done with shellac? I would like to have that done, with a soft pink over the top so that the white is not too white, but am concerned with how it would look after 3 weeks once my nails have grown. 

Would love to hear any colour suggestions as i've only had Romantique and Gotcha.

 I had to have a latte this morning, with 3 sugars, to kick start my heart.  I have been sleeping an insane amount of hours the last few weeks and am still bone tired every day. I think I should maybe go to the doctors to have a check up, just in case.

I’ve been trying to add beans to more things that I eat lately, and yesterday added ¾ of the can to my lentil and veggie salad. I don’t know why I buy the standard sized cans as I never eat the entire can in one sitting.

Would love to hear some 4 bean recipes that you enjoy.

Weekly iPhone Photo Wrap Up

Okay this first one was sent to my email, which can be accessed via my iPhone so it still makes the cut.

Hiiiiiii. I'm the cutest baby ever.
Mum gifted me this cookbook, which she has been using probably since before I was born.
It keeps it old school, and that's how I like to roll.

Fruit Loops

Has anyone else noticed that Babybel cheese has changed? Not for the better either.

The taste is not what I remember.

I went out for coffee with Greg of both Morning MC & Excuse to Begin fame last night. I was at the gym, sweating it out with hair oily enough to fry an egg on when he rang. He was sporting this man bag.

He also had on one of Geefas old suit jackets.

Today I am wearing this purple silk skirt that I had made in Thailand. I might do an outfit post later. Perhaps. Time will tell.

Who is Craig? Oh, you mean Greg?

I never order coffee so I don't have the pleasure of having my name mistaken for something else.

I do however often get called Anne-Marie. That is annoying.

Today I am Wearing...

Target.

I have only worn this Target dress once I think, I wish it was a little bit longer, I feel like tight things should be knee length rather than thigh length.

I have sore joints at the moment, so no heels today.
I love this ruffle. Even if I am bloated, nobody can tell.
The perfect dress.


Zip Zip Zippy.

We have a client at work, who is lovely, but I have to take him an espresso every 15 minutes despite whether the appointment lasts for 20 minutes of 4 hours.

I don't know how he manages to sleep at night after so much caffeine.

One of the other PA's refuses to do it. Maybe she is worried that she will be blamed for an early heart attack.

When I was on reception I thought the PA was kidding me by saying she was meant to take him one every 15 minutes, but now that I am the PA and the unfortunate sucker who has to do tea & coffee I realise it is no joke.
