Sharing my life

I have Tumblr....

Life happens

You know when something comes along, usually life and throws you off balance? Makes you a little lazy, a little forgetful and before you know it months had passed and you still haven't done 'that thing'?

Well today, right now actually, is when I'm grabbing that thing and darn well doing it. This 'thing' is this here post. It's been a long, wonderful, exciting and sometimes testing four whole months since my beau and I left our comfortable sunny little Melbounre existence for the unknown endeavours of the unknown shores.

We travelled Malaysia, exploring on foot, bicycle, boat, train and plane. Met monkeys and mountain lizards in crowded streets and deserted islands. He asked me to be his wife high amongst the trees on a terribly dangerous bridge in the middle of the jungle. We had unexpected meetings with his childhood friends in Thailand where we shared the most beautiful sunsets, swam through hidden underwater caves, snorkel with magnificently coloured fish and made it through a terrifying night of horror which left us not only extremely shaken but with rather large medical bills and the boys with a few scars. We explored the colourful culture of India and stood on the steps of the Taj Mahal, saw the most emotional, harshest examples of human suffering and met some of the happiest most beautiful children in the world! Then we came home to Bonnie, Bonnie (snowy) Scotland to spend the first Christmas with our families in two years!

We have certainly been on a magnificent journey with my camera capturing every step of the way!

BUT, we have a problem, a rather big one see! A problem that has kept me from writing this post for so long...

My beau killed my Mac Book Pro, my beloved, my everything (the Mac not him). Dead. Gone. Never coming back. He saturated it with Gatorade and well life without photoshop has been rather dull. Rather non existent, particularly when NO ONE you know has it that you could pinch! 10,000+ kodaks await their unavailing. Until then Instagram will have to do...

Bikini for Breakfast

Can you believe I got TWO bikini's for $20...I can!!!

I don't know how this happened...but it did. All of a sudden I have 2 weeks and 3 days until my beau and I leave beautiful Melbourne to embark on 3 month adventure. It was planned months in advance and it totally snuck up out of nowhere!

You can imagine my morning delight when I found these little gems at a sample sale...and all before breakfast!

I can't wait to be kissed by the sun!

Frill Me

I have been tired of late, tired of the count down to the day my beau & I leave for our travels. No spending, all saving. Instead of current trends, im thinking of how much I can fit in my rucksack and how the hell I'm going to squeeze 3 months of outfits into that tiny little space. Never mind Christmas and New year.

I can't help but buy myself a little treat when payday shows its lovely face...so socks it was. Topshop 3 for $17 beautiful little frilly numbers....because it's a basic rule that all travelleres need socks...right?

Now its 'mission find a travel wardrobe', of beautiful things that will most likely end up ruined by the time I touch down on the home turf. I am now on the hunt for cheap chic shorts, t-shirts and dresses that will work both in the beautful Asian/Indian sun and also sheild me from the harsh, bitter cold of Moscow and Scotland....

Wishful thinking?

Giveranchy

My workies and I when out in support of our company Godwin Charli at the Fashion Aid 5 Media Launch at Mon Bijou. Free champagne and a Givenchy clutch later this is what happens. When the boss is away his minions with play!
