Parklife Outfit...Outift for sunshine.. Outfit for Rain

Arrrrrrrrrrggggggggggggggghhhhhhhhhhh It's suppose to rain on Sunday when I head to the music festival Parklife in Sydney! ARGH! This so annoys me because that means I have to have two outfits organised in case it doesn't rain and in case it does. Every Parklife I go to I ALWAYS wear jeans, because I know by night time I will be freezing my arse off so in the end it pays off. But this time I don't want to wear jeans but knowing me I'll change my mind and wear jeans. Here are a couple of outfits, the first you have probably seen before as I was going to wear it to a past festival this month but ended up changing my mind as usual!




This is the dress I got off ebay. When it gets colder at night I was thinking of putting a black long sleeved shirt, a black shrug and black tights as well.


Mmmmm what do you guys think? I will be shopping in Sydney on the Friday and Saturday so I might find a top to go with my jeans. I'm thinking if it rains I'll wear my pink high top conserves or my little white sneakers. I hate my feet getting wet when it's raining!

Now here is another outfit, I had this skirt and belt along with some basic tops on lay by at Just Jeans and picked it up today. Do you think the skirt looks too poofy? I think because I keep looking at it in the mirror it looks funny. I was thinking of wearing this to Parklife with some cute boots but it looked way too silly! I've worn it slightly high waisted as it looks ridiculous on low waist.



Anyways, I'm going out for dinner tonight with the girls to a dodgy Indian restaurant in town. For the 20 odds years I've lived in this town I have never eaten there, so this will be a experience!

worn it slightly high waisted as it looks funny on the low waist.

Ok I have an ebay obsession!

Well well well Ladies! You wouldn't believe what I did last night? I was bidding on clothes once again on eBay. From my post yesterday I did win the black loose jumpsuit for $29.95AU and I then found this lovely and oh so cute dress as well and got it for $10.00AU I hope I receive both of them by end of the week before I head to Sydney.



I still have no idea what I am wearing to Parklife! I have Wednesday off so I'll be experimenting then.

Shopping Wish List for Sydney!!!

Five more sleeps and I will be in Sydney for a few days, and if you know me too well shopping is always on the cards whenever I am in Sydney. So I have created a look from the website polyvore of the items I want. I am going out with some girlfriends on the Friday and I'm hoping to find an outfit like this below, mainly the harem pants, lace gloves and some killer heels. A friend of mine is playing for the first time at a club (he is a DJ) called Chinese Laundry so we're heading there to check it out. Chinese Laundry is the place where Prince Fredrick of Denmark met Princess Mary from Australia, so there's a pointless fact for you :) I'm liking the idea of wearing cute lace gloves, it will jazz up my outfit as it's a little plain but the gloves will make it look cool...or cute I don't know but it's definitely something I want to try.

I am definitely buying the new Havianas Fit, they are a bit daintier then the original style and they are more like sandals. These will be perfect for me at Parklife next Sunday, I can dance away all day/night long and not loose my thong. They are available in black, gold and silver. I will HAVE to get all three colours but probably only buy black or silver on Friday.

Today I have been eBaying again...surprise surprise and I found this really cute black loose leg jumpsuit. It ends tonight so I think I will be bidding on it for sure.



It looks so comfy doesn't it? I still don't know what I am wearing to Parklife so I think this week I'll be getting together a few outfits and sharing them with all you lovelies and will be asking for advice! Here a some pictures of a few celebrities wearing jumpsuits.




Hope everyone enjoyed their weekend.... Monday tomorrow :(

Busy Little Pippi

Sorry for no post since Thursday. I have been a very busy bee since Thursday and continue to be a busy till Sunday. Here's what happened:

Thursday: Chilled at home in the morning, had to very quiet as my fiance was sleeping as he is working night shift. I try so hard to be quiet but I always seem to drop a big pan or slam a door. I then ventured out to go to the banks so I could get my two eBay dresses by next week. I absolutely despise PayPal as they have stupid fees so I prefer to put the money directly into their account. Headed to work at 2pm and finished at 6pm. My fiances cousin and her partner's band were playing at pub in Maitland (which is 30 mins drive) so I invited my friend Rhiannon as she's a singer and I knew she would be into them. I had to call Rhi and let her know not to dress up as the pub we were going to was slightly run down and was a very alternative pub. A lot of bands play at this pub and it has a lot of character. I love going to these pubs because I can be myself and feel comfortable, I don't need to dress up to the nines. Jeans, a funky top and some cute flats or thongs (AUSTRALIA'S CAN FLIP FLOPS THONGS! I THINK IT'S SO RIDICULOUS AMERICANS CALL THEM FLIP FLOPS.... DON'T GET ME STARTED ON AMERICANS THAT'S A WHOLE NEW SUBJECT!!!) We were there for about one and half hours and went home. I didn't get home till 11:30pm so I went straight to bed.

Friday: Worked all day and we had a sale so my day went way quicker. After work I grabbed a six pack of beer, Mmmmmmmm beer, and a huge packet of Honey Soy Chicken chips and went home. my friend Corrine came over we watched tv, grabbed some take away, watched the rugby league and then walk the line was on tv. One of my best friends from Sydney was home for night so she came over for about an hour...and I went to bed.

Today (Saturday): It's 10am and I have to be quiet again as my fiance has come off night shift. I have to wake him up at midday as we have a BBQ at a friends place for his birthday. This time last year when it was his mates birthday, my fiance got incredibly drunk, he drank a case of beer, a bottle of rum way too quicker, and then of my friends was giving him straight vodka! The poor boy was spewing everywhere, I had left by this time to go to the show and my friends kept calling me. He was very funny but I also felt sorry for him putting him to bed with spew all over himself. And this afternoon another great friend will be in town from Sydney so I will be seeing her as well!!!

And for Sunday? Well we might be heading to Newcastle to catch up with some more friends but depends on how wasted and drunk my fiance gets :) I really hope he behaves today!

I just need to keep busy from now till next Friday! Why do you ask? As I am going to Sydney and I have fun filled weekend! more details when it gets closer, and you what that means if I am in Sydney? SHOPPING!!YYYYEEEEEEEEOOOOOOOOOWWWWWW!

I'll leave you with some pictures of my fiance Ben and I. I don't have any nice recent ones of us, I'll have to get some taken today.









The top photo is the most recent from April this year. I much prefer him with a beard, I have a thing for guys with beards, I'm not sure why? He is my one and only and he makes me laugh and I mean laugh real hard every single day!!

Hope you all have a lovely weekend! xxx

More eBay purchases!

Well I did something naughty last night. I found two dresses on eBay that I absolutely loved and not one person had put a bid on either of them, and they had about one hour to go. So clicked the bid button and off I went. I only put one bid on each item and won both.

This is by a brand called Kenji, its a flannelet winter shirt dress. I remember seeing this dress at Myer's when it was on sale but all the press studs had come off so I decided not to buy it. Si I'll be hanging out for Winter now so I can wear it. it will look great with tights and boots, and was only $10 what a bargain!



This dress is by Quirky Circus which is from the Mink Pink designers, I think they exclusively do Quirky Circus for Myer only. I think this will be my outfit for Parklife next weekend. Whenever I go to a festival I pack a summer outfit and a rainy outfit in case it rains... you just never know!!



I think I better stop my eBay habit, it's getting worse. I go through phases where I go on eBay all the time, then I go off it for a while. I think maybe cause Summer is coming up and summer clothing is so much more nicer and more fun... I'll just keep telling myself hey? Hehehehe

Party Dress Arrived!!!

Remember the oh so cute party dress I bought off eBay for $12? Well it finally arrived today at work for me. I was suppose to go to the gym this afternoon but I couldn't wait to try on the dress. I did a Pilate's DVD after I played dress ups in it. It was from China and I can see why I got it for $12.00. It is slightly poorly made but with a bit pressing with the iron this dress will definitely be the ultimate party dress for summer. Here are a few pics for you.





Now I have to find a party to where it to! I have a few coming up in November but that's way too far away! Might where it while I'm out in Sydney?

Make-up? Beauty? where's all the Fashion bloggers?

Is it just me or is there way too many beauty blogs and not another Fashion blogs? So I thought if you can't beat em, join them. Don't get me wrong I think all the beauty blogs are great, it's actually giving me great make up tips. But it's probably about 3 years ago that I actually started spending money on good make up. I use Napoleon Perdis which I think is probably the Australian equivalent of MAC. There was so much I didn't know about make up until I went into Napoleon at Bondi Junction and the lady sat me down and showed me everything! here are the products I use from Napoleon, now be nice to me Ladies I use the very basic of makeup, I see no point going crazy with eyeshadow and mascara because:

1. I wear glasses you can't even see the eyeshadow
2. I don't even know where to start when applying eyeshadow
3. I can't even wear mascara because my lashes are too long and they scrap on my glasses.

My fiance hates it when I run out of make up because he knows how much I spend on it! Hahahahaha

Napoleon Perdis
Auto Pilot Pre-Foundation Primer

“Not to Prime is a Crime!” - Napoleon

This is how much little I know about make up, I didn;t know there such a thing called Primer! It was a whole new world to m. I feels great one and I use everytime I put my make up on.It helps make up glide onto the skin and makes your make up last longer.

Napoleon Perdis
Minimal Makeup
“An oil-free for all, that’s sheer to revere” - Napoleon

Oil free foundation that has that minimal look. I love this foundation because it looks fresh on and it's not thick. I use this foundation for everyday use and for work.

Napoleon Perdis
Camera Finish

“Paparazzi-ready for a close-up” - Napoleon



Camera finish is the finishing powder that conceals, cover and sets your foundation. I always carry this around in my bag in a little round tin fromt eh first one I broke so I out all the broken powder into a Napoleon plastic tin.

Napoleon Perdis
China Doll Foundation

“ Porcelain skin like a living doll” - Napoleon


This stuff is my savior! The benefits of this foundation it's lightweight and has the combination of self-setting foundation and powder in one. I use china doll whenever I go out, which very rarely so I it last for a while.

Napoleon Perdis
Pro Palette Concealer


Obviously we all know what concealer is. I never knew how to use concealer until I started using Napoleon, yes I know I am new to this make up stuff. This pallette is great because I can mix the colours to get the colour to suit my skin.

Napoleon
Base Make Up Brush


I take good care of my brush, I clean it every week and I use it to apply my primer and foundation.

I have Napoleon blush but it was a limited only kit and I'm too embarrassed to show you as it's soooooo messy and I broke one of the blushes so it's now crumbled. I am so hopeless.

Anyway I better go to work and I hope I didn't bore you with my lack of make up skills. :)

Lady of Leisure Adventures!

this Lady of Leisure had today off! God it's great having Mondays off. My intention was to go to the gym this morning but ended up on the Internet for one and a half hours looking for accommodation for New Years eve in Sydney. Everything and I mean everything is booked out, and you either have to stay at least min 7 days!!! But I eventually found some apartments in Lane Cove where I used to live in Sydney for New Years Day. I am going to a festival called Field Day on New years day, it has the greatest line up EVER!!!

After my hectic hour or so on the computer I had a coffee date with my friend Allissa who is off tomorrow with a friend around Australia in a van. I am extremely jealous as the fiance and I would love to do this before we settle down and have kids. I had a great time seeing her and I hope her adventures take her far.

This is what I wore to coffee.




* Living doll Bow Singlet * Jeans from Just Jeans * Shoes from online at shoeshow

then after coffee did the usual grocery boring stuff really..... any who I have a massive headache and sore back I need some drugs to get rid of the pain!!!

Hope everyone had a lovely weekend!

Lazy Sunday

Today was a beautiful day, it was about 30 degrees today. I am feeling much better today and felt fine to venture out. One of my school friends has been in Africa for two months and she was back in town for the weekend. So four of us girls went to one of the local parks and had a picnic in the shade. I was going to take photo's but I was too involved with eating food :)

Here is what I wore today, it's nothing flash, its very comfortable and I am thinking about wearing it to Parklife in a couple of weeks. BUT I bought these shorts about a month ago and I must say I regret buying them now. They gape BIG TIME at the back so you can see my underwear!!! I even wore a belt with the jeans and it still didn't help. Not happy! So I might sell them on eBay in a couple of days.




* Mink Pink Top *Volcom Denim shorts *Black Havianas *Black Belt Which you can't see

Daily Outfit

Australian Summer is almost here! This week I have been a little hesitate to wear a dress to work as I get cold very easily. But every time I have worn one it was the best choice I made. Today I wore one of my many favourite dresses from Summer. It's Mink Pink and I wore it to death last Summer and of course I will wear it to death this summer.

This morning while I was getting ready my fiance was watching me while he was still in bed. He said "your starting your collection of dresses now for summer aren't you?" Hehehehe He knows me way to well! This is the first time he has ever taken photos for me so it's kinda special to me. As I am a little shy talking to him about my blog, and I am shy about him taking photos of me.... Yes silly I know! I've been with the fella for nine years and I still get shy :) I shouldn't worry as he is always happy to help me out!







*Mink pink Dress *Gold Belt from Op Shop *White Flat Sandals from work.. Yes I fit into little girls shoes! It's awesome!

And all I can say right now is...THANK GOD IT'S FRIDAY!!!

The Project Runway Australia Finale!!

Sorry for the no post again yesterday! I started typing this up and of course my internet dropped out!!! GRrrrrrr!

So Wednesday night was the finale of Project Runway Australia..and guess who won?? Anthony of course! I was really hoping William would win as I loved his collection. He was the only one that used colour and I normally prefer black but it was gorgeous! Anthony's collection was of course all black but it was awesome, and some of pieces you could wear with normal everyday life and was still avant guard as well.



This is Lauren's collection, a few days before the finale Simon Lock (the founder/creator of Fashion Week) came to see the final three. He told Lauren her collection wasn't as cohesive and at the last minute she had to do some minor changes.




And last but not least Williams collection. I absolutely loved his collection, he used colour and the theme was very romantic which is very William. Williams Father died while he was making the collection, I admire him for his strength and determination for still going through the competition.



I am so sad that Project Runway Australia has ended :( I look forward to Wednesday nights. Hopefully in a few years I'll try out for Project Runway if I am game enough.

Not feeling too good

Hi there Ladies!
Sorry for the no post yesterday, my Internet was down last night and today. Some MORON in Sydney cut the cable that was connected for all telephone and Internet, I think that's why mine was down because I called my Internet provider this morning as I was having withdrawals.

I don't have much to report today as it was my day off and I have felt sick all day. My sister in law was sick last week with a stomach bug, and it's gone through her whole family so fingers cross it doesn't get to me! I just feel very light headed and my stomach has been hurting all day long!!!

But Project Runway is on tonight so I'll be posting tomorrow for you! hopefully I feel better tomorrow!

Massive Weekend

Hello my Lovely Ladies!!! I hope everyone had a fabulous weekend! Because I sure did. Saturday I had to work till 1pm, then I rushed home got ready and we caught the bus from my friends place out to Bimbadgen Estate for the concert. I must say I was very disappointed with the way it was organised. We had to wait for AN HOUR to get alcohol and there was only one bar!! So you could imagine how long this line was.

I didn't end up wearing any of the outfits as my friend Corrine made some awesome shirts for us to wear. My best Friend Stef, it was her brothers 21st so Corrine made some shirts up saying Happy 21st! Here are some pics from the weekend
