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!
