Purple Rain & Winners!

Sometimes my mind just wanders away.

I was staring blankly at this blog post trying to decide what to name it. After 1200 odd blog posts, you really do run out of things. I may even have to number them when I really lose originality.

I am giving the ol' 'Shop My Own Wardrobe' thing a whirl and so far it is working out for me. 

I got this dress whilst in Thailand (I just have to interrupt this to say that The Husband is sitting next to me mocking me saying 'I got this dress from RAH RAH RAH RAH RAH RAH RAH' like an annoying weasel) and pretty much forgot about it.

I wore it for my 21st Birthday dinner and then my sister Jo wore it to our engagement party, but apart from that it has had no love. 

Bathroom selfie. Nothing new. 

It is perfect with stockings and heels for work. Success.

I love the fluttery sleeves. Like a butterfly I tell you.

The only down fall is that I have to wear a lame minimizer sports bra with it, otherwise it doesn't sit right.

The above pictures are a tad dark, but this is the dress when I wore it for my 21st and with flash.

Not to mention how tan and small I was. We had just come back from Thailand, what a successful tanning trip that was.

Anyway, I'm off to continue shopping in my wardrobe rather than your typical brick and mortar stores. 

I'm on a budget you know. 

Have you been shopping in your own wardrobe? Give me tips on how to turn summer clothes into winter clothes. 

*I have had this blog post sitting in my drafts for 2 weeks now, sorry about that!!

Hump Day.

This weather is perfect for capes. Preferably the cute kind, not the flowing in the wind, fighting crime, superhero type.

I haven’t worn my cape for a while, but my sister Jo wore it on the wedding day and as I still have not properly unpacked from the wedding day, it was hanging around the house and screaming to be worn.

Anyway, as I was saying – this weather is perfect for capes. It’s not quite cold enough in the morning to wear a trench or winter coat, but it’s also not balmy enough to just wear a dress. This cape is the perfect solution.

I got it from Sunny Girl a few years back, and I think it was around the $30 mark. Believe me, this little baby has earned its keep.

I’m wearing it with the yellow Angey dress that I got in Thailand, which is honestly one of my favourite items in my wardrobe. Great excuse to go back to Thailand.

One of my readers recognised me in Tiffany & Co on Saturday – I hope you come up to me next time to say hello! The Husband (haha can’t resist) doesn’t quite believe me that people actually read my blog. I show the page view count, and he still doesn’t quite think it is possible. It would have proved him wrong!
Moral of the story? If you see me out and about, please come over and say hi. Unless you are a murderer, then please refrain.
I’ve been writing our Thank You cards and have discovered that they don’t fit in the envelopes I purchased since they are ginormous. Massive. Gah.
I might cut some down to size at work on the guillotine tonight after hours, or just try and find behemoth sized envelopes.

I try and write something personal in each card, I don’t like writing the same message in each card as these people went to a lot of effort to attend our wedding – and we want them to know that we appreciate it!!

Jiggle

This needs to be me. I need to sweat it out, and lose the jiggle in 53 days.

The gym rang me to check that I was okay as I haven’t been in so long. May-jah guilt trip.

Before Thailand in Dec 2009, I was body pumping/stepping/spinning my way to a bangin’ bod with the image of a swimsuit in Thailand to motivate me.

Then I had my surgery, couldn’t work out for 8 weeks, then went on Roaccutane, couldn’t go in the sun anyway and got a little soft around the edges. After that, I was just making excuses. Booty camp did nada for me. Nada. Lite n Easy was good though. I want to go on it again just because I like the food!


The time has come to get this body back!! I’m putting it out there so I can let you judge me if I’m not bikini ready for Fiji haha.

Whats the point of paying a whopping $53 a fortnight if I am not going. I could use that for a fortnightly Shellac instead! I'll go tomorrow! Yes I will.

I just found this post sitting in my drafts section and thought I may as well post it.

We have prepaid internet at home, as we are hoping to move soon so did not bother with broadband, but I tried to recharge it last week and Optus kept saying they cannot find me on the Australian database as living at the address. They needed to verify me apparently. She then asked for my previous address, which I gave her, and she said there is no record of me ever living there either. I don't know what stupid database she was looking me up on, but I was getting pretty frustrated. The moral of the story? Optus suck and I have no internet at home.

We are trying to eat more greens at the moment, so went to the Vic Market to stock up.

I hate these avocados. I only eat Haas Avocados.

We had Date Night on Saturday, and went to watch Hangover 2. I had heard a few people say it was pretty crap, but I loved it!

The resort that they filmed Hangover 2 at, is actually The Sheraton in Krabi where we stayed, and S proposed to me!! It is such a beautiful resort.

I wish I was back there.

Boysenberry Choc Top

I don't eat the cone, only the ice cream.

I had been craving Green Curry all day so went to Gin Khao for a late night dinner.

Some form of prawn dish.

Have I ever mentioned that S does not drink tap water? I know, right?!

My magical green curry

It would not be complete without Roti Bread to soak up the goodness.

We also bought a new blender, water purifier, steamer, book case, photo frames, dish tray thingo and that's about it.

Boring life this week.
