Rain.

Yesterday was the wettest September day in 50 years. Great. The one day that I decide to wear open toe shoes. Okay, that’s a lie – I wear open toe shoes nearly every day.

By the time I sloshed home, my hair was ratty – despite my umbrella, and my shoes were wrecked. I cant think of a better excuse for new shoes.

I had to go out to dinner with Lara at The Atlantic at Crown Casino, and decided to catch a cab. In the rain and traffic it took half an hour, whereas on the way home it took 6 minutes. I timed it.

I am wearing my Review Dress, RMK wedges, Sunnygirl cape & Oroton brolly. My hair is courtesy of Mother Nature and her ability to turn the frizz on like there is no tomorrow.

I got some happy snaps to blog at Atlantic, but after uploading them to the computer (and deleting them from the camera in the process) I was faced with The Blue Screen of DEATH.

I hope they are not gone for ever, like the rest of the damn files. We only got the laptop about 5 months back so it is still under warranty - BUT STILL.

I need a new umbrella. This Oroton one has served me well, since I bought it on April 13 2010 (I blogged about it, hence knowing the date), but I need to live life and spice things up.

My cab driver on the way home said to me “You look like my friend. She was the first female friend I ever had. I haven’t had many since. You both have round teeth. I like round teeth”.

Okay. Maybe you don’t have many female friends because you say people have round teeth? I think he meant that my teeth are curved when I smile, rather than straight across. I don't know actually.

When a car cut us off I said “What a dickhead” and he said “Oh no, don’t swear. You are too nice and innocent looking to swear!!!”.

I gave him a crash course in dealing with females. He failed by guessing I was 25, I am indeed 22. I told him – always tell a woman she looks younger.

Anyway, this cabby was super duper sweet and I loved him. I hope he finds a female companion.

Coral

Yesterday afternoon the husband and I went into Myer to buy him some new shirts, and with me flapping along in my Witchery Wedges which half the sole has come away from the shoe, and is held together by sticky tape, decided I probably need some new wedges. Husband didn’t see it this way, and said perhaps I should just take them to be repaired by the shoe guy..

After he got his shirts and ties, which he definitely does not need more of, he has at least 1000 shirts and ties, it was my time to shine. Down we went to the shoe department and I locked eyes on these gorgeous RMK wedges. They came in tan, black and coral.

The practical side of me knew that I should get the tan, as I would get more wear out of them, but the summer loving girl in me knew that coral was the colour to get. I was prancing back and forth to the mirror trying to decide, before husband finally said "Get the tan. You will wear them more". I pouted and put the coral back and then he said "No, No, get the coral - you want them more". He wasn't wrong.

RMK Alina Wedges RRP $149.95


After a lovely fellow shopper told me I should get the coral, I couldn't go wrong.
When the Sales Assistant got me my size, the pair she gave me were stained and tried to tell me it was just the leather - I think not. Anyway, I ended up with a good pair and upon getting to the register found out they were on sale - $112 , not a bad little bargain!!!

Welcome to my wardrobe!!! 

I wore them with a white dress yesterday to a BBQ at Mums house, and took some photos but after putting them on the computer, it died and reverted back to files from 1 week back. Dang it.
