major props to MDJPhotography for the photos xo


After a recent trip to Melbourne for a weekend getaway I have decided to move there.

I wish.

I LOVE Melbourne, it really makes me realize how boring Adelaide is. The coffee shops, the outings, even the cold weather, love love love.

The funny thing is, I didn't actually do THAT much shopping there. We hit up a few vintage shops which I loved, but found Chapel St/Bourke St mall.. all the usual suspects, quite predictable. I guess thats what the Internet has done for us, everything is so much more accessible. Having said that strolling up and down Chapel is still a great day spent.

There were so many high-lights and its worrying that most of them are food related, from St Ali's South Melbourne (amazing coffee and breakfast) to Shop Five in Centre Place. Hairy Canary for AMAZING egg plant chips and pizza, and Cookie for superb Thai-Tapas.

My only regrets for the weekend were not getting more photos, but at the time thought we would relax and forget the duties of carrying cameras around the busy streets.

Outfit posts to come.

Love Love xxx

lovehaterelationship

I have such a love/hate relationship with online shopping - for instance, there is nothing better then shopping from the comfort of your own home, in your tracky-dacks whilst watching telly and sipping a warm cuppa, BUT then there's that whole not being able to avoid spending money drama.

Schmeh.. money is made to be spent, right? ;) Heres some recent purchases from ONElittlePIECE.


FREAKING LOVING LACE right now (sorry.. a little over-excited).. after purchasing two American Apparel lace basic dresses I am kind of poo-poo'd about not broadening my horizons and purchasing more 'creative' pieces. For example this dress that is now available for pre-order on ONElittlePIECE (or here on facebook), is AMAZING. I love the detailed sleeves AND its only $79.95! Hmm.. You can never have too much lace can you?....... PURCHASE!


I am also loving the Finders Keepers Range they are stocking.. this dress is an amazing winter staple and only $109.00........ PURCHASE!


Okay, I think I have done my dash for a friday afternoon, back to that cuppa and watching telly.. holidays are hard!

I AM BACK.
Finally.
I have been completely anonymous for about seven weeks now, not just to the Blogging community, but my friends, family, work.. everything. My life has been filled with Lesson Plan, Legal Studies, Students, Teachers, Literacy Requirements... I can finally breathe again!

My only sanity the last couple of weeks has been my weekends, that have been COMPLETELY jam packed. Dinners, Birthdays, Fare-wells, Drinks, BBQs.. endless fun!

Did I mention I was on holidays?

So I have so much to catch up on, a few purchases, LOTS to sell and so many blogs to re-visit. Lucky its Winter!

graduationfun


dress - witchery
shoes - zu
cloak - compliments of Harry Potter
nails - Sportsgirl 'Concrete Jungle' LOVE.

Who would of thought, I actually finished.. yay! well, for this degree anyway, one more year of my post-grad and I am done, done, done.
Had grad on Tuesday and whilst dressing up like Harry Potter is extremely fun, those cloaks are so hot and heavy and the silly man gave me a hat that was too big, plus the daunting thoughts of "I hope I don't trip on the stage". I guess thats the excitement of it all.
Thanks again to MDJPhotography for capturing this wondeful moment. I was a little disappointed that as a group we didn't get the opportunity to throw out mortar boards in to the air, so, I did it anyway.
I went with a 'timeless' Witchery dress that I picked up on sale about a year ago (wow..gone fast). I hadn't actually worn it yet but knew it would come in handy when I needed something simple, yet kind of elegant. I absolutely love these shoes too, as they give everything that little bit of edge.. they were a beautiful Christmas present, gosh I am lucky.
All-in-all, super fun day, and YAY I get to do it again.
Very happy Thursdays lovelies - why? because its the day before friday and then a LONG WEEKEND! bless the Anzacs xxx
