Bags/Shoes/Pizza

Check out this cute bag that I got at my bargain basement hang out, Femme. 

Not bad for $39.95 huh? I am sure it is a rip off of something else, but I am too unfashionable to know what, or to care really. 

I also got this door hanger thing which houses my bags. I am not a big bag person, so for me, owning 5 is HEAPS!!! 

Here are some new shoes from Basque that I got to wear to work, please note that they are not wedges because you know, wearing wedges to work is guaranteed to create controversy and have someone you work with complain about you because, you are wearing wedges. 

Who would have thought that wedges were oh so unprofessional?? 

Okay I had better stop before I go into a full blown wedges related rant. 

I already wrote a massive paragraph ranting and raving but thought better of it. 

At least I will have another profession to fall back on, Pizza Delivery.

El Husbo is pressed up against the wall in this photo, just watching me like I am silly. 

I don't normally go into this stuff, but in the interest of full disclosure and the fact that I have no other news for you here we go. 

I had an unusual experience on Monday night. We ordered pizza (Exhibit A below), ate said pizza and then an hour later I went to the gym, worked out (or pretended to at least) and then I went home. Within 10 minutes of me being home, I was on the bed in tears and my stomach had puffed up to looking about 6 months pregnant (Exhibit B below). I was suffering from excruciating pains around my belly button and they were travelling, fast. I could not sit up or move my legs without bellowing in pain. It was a pain like being electrocuted over and over again. Not like wind, cramps or food poisoning. 

Needless to say, The Husband was freaking the hell out. He wanted to call an ambulance but I would not let him, so he rang Nurse on Call and they said that if the pain didn't go away, to get to the ER quick. 

This pain, paired with the fact that I had not had a period for months, freaked me out. I had a blood test for pregnancy 2 weeks before and it was negative, so I knew it wasn't that but still, odd. 

I ended up having an ultrasound and internal exam and am waiting to hear back from my doctor. The swelling is all gone, and oddly enough, my period came 2 days after. I wonder if it was all related? 

Anyway, sorry to gross you all out but hey, this is a lifestyle blog after all. 

Check out my belly. Ha. I have no pants on. Coming from someone who normally has a very flat tummy, this was strange, and this photo was taken after the pain wore off so probably not at it's peak bloatedness. 

The Husband thinks it was the pizza, but please. I eat pizza all day long. 

Enough gross belly shots. I'm fine now, so no biggie. 

Here is my Casual Friday outfit for today. It features wedges. 

I look like a shiny little chipmunk. a chipmunk in a skirt. 

I ordered a bag liner thing that will keep my bag looking boxy rather than squishy, since carrying a magazine at the bottom of the bag got old, real quick. 

How did everyone enjoy their Australia Day? 

Kitty at work is being a total hater about my handbag hook, which I won in a give away from Motherhood Career Fashion .

Personally, I think she is jealous that she doesn't have a bag hook. Aren't you Kitty?

My new blog header is almost ready, I am very excited. I am using a lovely lady from Etsy for it since my other bloggo designer person fell through. Shoots evil eye. 

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.
