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!

Hat That

Hat, Sportsgirl (surprise) Sale $9.95

Meet my new hat, ain't he just handsome? I've been looking for 'that' hat for quite some time as I have a rather large head you see so most of them are quite uncomfortable after me squeezing them on. This one...fits like a head glove. Even better when I got to the till point it was reduced to $9.95. Is that even possible? 

Crown Frown

Excuse the orange face...new foundation went wrong.

Last week sure was eventful, in both good ways and bad. I was super excited about getting my bushy, over grown mane scultped and dyed into a new crop. I've had my fair share of hair disasters in the past (basically every time I have ever visited the salon) so I opted for the renowned Joey Scandizzo Salon on Toorak Road, South Yarra (which was conveniently a 5 minute walk from my new little appartment). I went in with a  head full of hairspirational dreams and blurted out 'lighter'...'praline brown' to the poor colourist who was finding it hard enough to understand my Scottish accent. Clearly our communication was beyond poor and I came out a lion cub blonde. I am raven, a brunette through and through. I had already defied my dark haired sisters by opting for a 'few shades' lighter...I was thinking more along the lines of a nice warm shade de Cherly Cole...now I was Simba son of the Lion King. I was so confused by my light barnet I spent my whole blow dry (which takes quite some time as I have rediculously thick and curly hair) avoiding my own eye contact in the mirror. No amount of their special complimentary dark chocolate, melt in the middle cookies could turn my quivering lips up at the corners. I done what I do best. Pretended I liked it and left, ran round the corner to work and got my lovely ballsy boss to call them for me.

Wollah...at 9 am the next morning I was toned back to a brunette...a light one at that. I must be the single most annoying customer of all time. Walking in there with my tail between my legs asking for a re-do. I was meet with not one bit of hostility and treated again like a queen and walked out with a new do and a complimentary blow wave and a biscuit. I am offically swayed. I think I like going to the hair dressers after all.

Last week, if not a wee bit sick, I celebrated my beautiful friend Yvonnes birthday by making her a crown. Ok, I might have the creative skills to rival a 5 year old but I got a new stamp set (and Yvonnes 'real' present) from Kikki K and I could wait to try it out. Who am I kidding...I made a crown and I'm god damn proud of it.

Let's make it a Rich'tual

Every time I have snapped my handsome Chard we always finish with a good old grab of the crotch shot. Y'know loosens everyone off after the 'hard' work (by hard work I do mean having a laugh up alleyways/ against walls of preferably grey). This is by far my favourite shot of the day. Everyone should do a little crotch grabbing every once and a while...no?
