Back to Reality

Yesterday got back from our short trip away. Of course I didn't take much photos. The wedding we went to was so much fun and I pretty much danced all night to all the corny and fun music on the jukebox. 

This is Ben and I at the wedding. We had to buy Ben some new black pants because his normal ones are a little too tight now. We've both put on weight so we both started a healthy Low GI eating plan now. It's not a diet it's just a new and improved healthy way to life... gee whiz, listen to me. It's only Day 1 but I'm doing OK.

I bought a few things while I was away so I'll post them up hopefully tomorrow for you all.

Last day

Today is our last day of our short trip. Below is a picture of Boomerang Beach at Pacific Palms. We stopped through to meet up with the decorator for the wedding and the owners of the Surf Club didn't turn up :( oh well another excuse to come back up.

Happy Monday everyone!

Holidays!

Tonight I am heading on my holidays to Coffs Harbour for once again another wedding. I don't really have much to blog about today. So I'll leave you a couple photos of Coffs Harbour.

 

The Big Banana! I remember going to the Big Banana when I was little with my parents. I want to go again, Ben thinks I'm silly for wanting to go. I love doing kiddy things. 

This is the resort we are staying at. Right on the beach...LOVELY! the wedding is at the resort too. Ben and I only booked the basic room, but then we got upgraded to a bigger and better room for FREE! 

Don't miss me too much... or work to hard

Shopping Spree!

Yesterday I spent the whole day shopping with my friend Corrine. We had so much fun. We both live in the same town, and not very far from each other and we haven't seen each other in over a month. And that's LONG for us. You know how you have those friends who you know if you haven't spoken or seen them in ages you can just pick up from where you left off? That's what I have with Corrine. I don't have that with many friends. Only my besties, Stefanie, Amy, Corrine and some girls from school. Anyway, back to the shopping. I went a little... ah CRAZY! BUT, I didn't buy ONE dress. You should be so proud of me. 

Look at my overly excited SMILE!!!

Dress: Dotti (got sooo many comments on this dress whilst shopping)

I got some gold jewellery (obviously not real gold) from Lovisa which is a jewellery/accessory store. I could spend HOURS in these kind of stores. 

Above are some black patent heels from Betts Shoes. They aren't too high or too low, just the right heel for me. They have a special soft cushion feel too. The deal in the store was buy one get second item half price. SO the sales assistant suggested I get a matching bag! Which is below.

In Newcastle there is a Wanted Shoe factory outlet. the silver flats were $20 and the Gold sandals were $10!

Then went to Just Jeans and got two tops for $40

Still in Just Jeans, and grabbed some Rider jeans. There's these new type of jeans called second skin in the store. Looks like a jean, but as comfortable as wearing leggings. So I decided to get them in black.

Saw this cute top at Valleygirl for only $14.95! BARGAIN! I loved the lace at he back of the top.

So, I think that's me for a while at shopping. Time to be a tight arse and SAVE SAVE SAVE for this wedding!

A huge HI to a few new followers! Hi there! Hope you visit me more often xxx

You look like a Witch!

"I'm not sure about those shoes matey!"

That's what Ben said to me last Thursday after we went to Chemical Brothers. We were in the lift so I could get a cab home. I said to him why? He said:

"you look like a witch!". Gee, thanks Ben. I'm glad he never said anything before we left for the gig because I would of been so annoyed. I like them, and that's all that matters. Men just don't get fashion do they. So today, I decided to wear my "Witch" boots. 

 

Dress: All About Eve, Boots: Winsdor Smith, Necklace: Just Jeans.

It rained all morning so boots were perfect for this weather. Now to sun is back and it's muggy :( 

Come back rain please!!! I love the sound of rain when in bed.

Going shopping tomorrow, hopefully I'll find some treasures.

Outfit Post...long overdue

Think it's time to do an outfit post. I wore this to my last shift EVER at the baby shop :( It will be closing down this week. 

Dress is form Dotti. Ah good old Dotti hey. This bad boy cost me $79.95! Extreme I know! I don't understand why Dotti is so expensive for what it is. Plus, I still bought the dam thing too. I bought another super cute dress from Dotti that I'll probably wear on Friday when I go on a  girly shopping day to Newcastle with one of my besties Corrine.

It's been raining this afternoon. I love the smell of rain. I can't wait to wear layers of clothes, jeans with boots, dresses with tights and ankle boots. I can't wait for festivals where you camp, and drink by the fire, then dance like a lunatic so you get warm! I think because Summer is so long here, I am enjoying winter now. 

7 more sleeps till I am on holidays, catching up with friends at ANOTHER wedding!

Wedding Dresses on Etsy

Since I am in wedding mode, I've decided to do a post on wedding dresses from etsy.

Orchid Gown

Dotted Swiss Layered Tulle

Acacia organza tea length bridal gown 

Most of the wedding gowns I've seen on Etsy are very affordable as well. 

:)

I see red, I see red, I see red.

Today I have been researching some decorations for my red themed wedding. My theme is Japanese with red butterflies. At the reception I am going to hang red lanterns from the roof. I'm been having a sticky beak on Google images, here are a few I have been inspired with. 

Today I purchased these.

I purchased the plain red one in three different sizes. 

I got myself a red fabric parasol for the photos as well. If I like the look of it, I'm going to buy a white one for my bridesmaid Stefanie.

Also, for wedding favours for our guests I've decided to have a lolly bar. We'll set up different sized glass jars and vases, fill them up with red lollies. We'll give guests a little noodle box and they can take them home with them. 

Exactly 8 months today till the big day!!!

Eeeekkkk!!!

Will try to catch up on blogs tonight and tomorrow.

These boots are made for dancing!

Picked up these boots today from another local store in town. Their Windsor Smith and I am in love with them. 

 I love how I can wear them two different ways. Fold them up, or fold them down. I'm seeing Chemical Brothers next Thursday in Sydney so I'll have to test them out then. I'll be dancing like a demon!

This weekend I finally have the whole weekend off and I get to spend it with Ben. Here are a few things I am looking forward to this weekend.

Ben hopefully, fingers crossed sells his car to a guy on Saturday. It will help us fund some of the wedding!

Seeing a dress maker about getting my wedding dress made.
Don't worry, this is not my dress. It's by the same Fashion Designer Oscar de le Renta. I have found a dress from his 2010 collection and I'm getting it made. 

Going shopping to find some black heels to go with my purple dress from my previous post.

Getting dressed up on Saturday night and going out for Ben's cousin 40th at Nelsons Bay.

I don't get out much, so when I do I love to dress up!!! 

Make sure you check out my Twitter!

.....DRESSES......

I've been searching for a different and unique dress to wear to a wedding in the next couple of weeks. Living in such a small town, I always worry turning up to a party or a wedding wearing the same dress as someone. I ended up finding this gorgeous dress off eBay . 

I picked it up from the post office today. I raced home, and tried in on. I am in love with it and I feel so pretty and girly in it. Excuse the messy hair and no make up. 

It's by the lovely HARAH DESIGNS. I actually purchased mine off eBay. I wasn't sure what size to get so I gave Maria my measurements to see which one would suit better and she sewed a made to measure for me! I was very pleased. The quality of the garment is unbelievable, the sewing is amazing. Since studying Fashion I am always looking at the quality of all garments. I'm already thinking of buying another dress. I'm thinking about getting maxi, in blue.

The plus side, it's made in Australia!

Also today I picked up a layby from my favourite shop in town Milk. I originally had one of these two dresses to wear to this wedding.

 The top two are both Cooper St. I might return the black one. It's a little too short for me.

This dress I fell in love with and actually bought this two weeks ago from Glue. The brand is Anise. The collar is actually detachable and it comes with straps as well. I'm seeing Chemical Brothers next week and was thinking of wearing it then.

So theres a bit of dress overload for you. today is the second day of Autumn *insert sad face*. But I think I'm half glad it's going to be  little cooler. I think I'm going crazy!
