Wedges, White Dresses, Blog Renos.

In the spirit of being fiscally irresponsible I have been shopping. Hey, someone has to do it!

My Windsor Smith wedges are so comfortable that I went back to Myer and got them in black. Hoorah! They were on sale again too, 25% off. For $112 you can have the most comfortable wedges ever. 

I feel like I should get the cream ones too, but perhaps I am taking things a little too far... or perhaps not.

Speaking of wedges, our new office dress code guidelines was sent out yesterday.

It was this section that scared the bejesus out of me in particular:-

“Shoes should be well polished and highly shined at all times. Shoes should be professional business shoes either heeled (low to mid length) or flat, open or closed toe. Casual and recreation-type shoes such as strappy sandals, thongs and wedges are not permitted. Excessively high heels are also not permitted.”

I looked down at my footwear of choice and thought, well this is awkward.

Not only did I have wedges on, they are also strappy and definitely excessively high.

Oi vey.

What is a girl to do?! Shop I suppose...

Check out my tan line from my rings. My blackness is still kicking on but my back has been peeling like a mother.

The Hunt For A White Dress!!!

Please tell me I am not the only girl who hunts for the perfect white dress, just like the elusive perfect white T-Shirt which definitely does not exist.

I bought this Collette by Collette Dinnigan dress on Saturday, after trying on the Red & White Striped Resort Dress and being appalled with the fit. I have heard that others think it is a terrible fit also, so I don't feel as bad.

This dress is a little different to my normal style, and I think that is why I like it so much.

I think I will wear it to my brothers engagement party tomorrow, what do you think?

I can't stop at one, so I also got this Hi There by Karen Walker dress. I love it!! It is casual but can definitely be dressed up. It comes in blue, I think I might get that too.

I feel that it looks better in person though, which does me no good - being a blogger and all.

Embracing my blackness.

This is the dress on the website, it shows how different body types can really change a dress.

I nearly got this dress from Zara, but thankfully the lovely ladies on my Facebook Fan Page talked me out of it. Don't forget to become a fan so that you can also talk me out of purchases too.

C.O.N.V.E.R.S.I.O.N

I converted today!

Adios Catholicism, Hellllooooo Orthodox-ism.

Greggy was on hand to take some snaps.

I was nervous as heck. I had to read The Creed and had been practicing all week. Damn I hate public speaking. Luckily it was just reading in front of 10 people.

This is before the conversion, the smile on my face masks my nerves quite well.

I really did not know what to expect. Father V had told S that he was going to take it easy on me, but thats about it.

When we got there he asked if I had my towel, ummm nope. No towel. Don't know anything about a towel.

Oh well, here is one, and it was put on my head. I didn't expect that.

The damn thing kept falling off whenever I crossed my self, walked, moved or breathed heavily.

Walking around, thrice.

Future Mother in Law and I

I'm not sure if you can see it here, but Father V is actually cutting my hair.

Nobody warned me about this part, and when he came towards me with the scissors it was nearly time to run for the hills.

Luckily he only took a few snippets!!!

When I got home from visiting Henry and Thomas I walked in and S yelled out "No! Stop. Close your eyes, I have a surprise for you!!!!"

The surprise then lead me on a scavenger hunt around our apartment for DVDS!

"Now look under the.... Flower Vase!"

"Now under the JB bag on the Ironing board"

"Now open the suitcase on the floor!!"

"OK I'm out of hiding spots! Here - The complete Nip Tuck Settttt (now I'm broke!)

Plus Entourage. Excellent. No need to ever watch normal TV again!

My Kum also surprised me with a lovely little Tiffany & Co bracelet which I did not expect.

Surely I was meant to be given this prior to converting??

Of course, S also gave me my beloved aquamarine ring for the conversion.

It was nothing at all to be scared about, I'm really happy that I did it and S looked like a proud parent.

iPhone Pics

It's that time of the week. Time to spam ya'll with my recent iPhone pics.

I'm slowly embracing winter hats. Why wouldn't I? They keep me so toasty.
At work last week I got called into one of the partners office, and on the way was trying to think what I had done wrong recently, or at least, what had they found out that I had done wrong?

It turns out they just wanted to thank me for working so hard the last 2 months and staying back after work in neccersary. The other PA was on long service leave so I was picking up her work. They gave me a $500 Myer voucher which I was surprised by! They obviously didn't need to, since I was just doing my job but it is nice to be appreciated

Anyway, I bought 2 new Hi There by Karen Walker dresses, and am trying to decide what else to buy. The above pic is one of the dress prints.
This dress was my Nannas, and it is beyond cute on. I can't wait to wear it and share it with you all. Our Aunty originally gave it to my sister Jo as her wardrobe is pretty much pure vintage, but I loved it so much that Jo gave it to me. I'm greatful that we are both small enough to wear Nannas clothing!

Thomas is loving life, sitting on his big boy table and chair.

In a few weeks he will be a big brother!!!

Tulips in Geefas office.

So cute. Beyond cute.

This pic is my screen saver on my phone and my phone is currently going thru a craze where it starts to vibrate randomly, which causes the screen to flash up all the time so I'm always looking at this cutie.

On the iPhone front, my 'silent' option has also died. So annoying but I am trying to hold out until they release the iPhone 5 before getting a new phone.

Nom Nom Nom

Loved this Leona Edmiston dress, but was not paying $435 (I think that's the price) for a dress that I have no occasion for.

The only occasion I could think of was a romantic dinner on our honeymoon, and pairing it with sandals. Meh.

OPI - Isn't that precious?

This is one of those annoying polishes where 4 coats still is not opaque and you can see the line where your skin ends behind the nail.

My snack drawer at work.

What? A girls got to eat.

What the cupcake once looked like.

Happy weekend yo!
