How beautiful is this picture.. Love the messy hair and headband and even want to try the little flowers under her eyes... maybe next festival :)

birthday madness

 

It was my birthday on Friday last week.. so I spent the entire weekend indulging. Shopping, hair appointment, Saturday night dancing, lunches, dinners.. I have no money left to show for it but I have some nice pictures J

summer fitness

As the weather warms up and the idea of the beach sounds more and more becoming, I feel suddenly aware of my lack of tone. I fought with the idea of going back to the gym for a few weeks before I decided that both my mind and body needed it. So this morning it was me and the gym once again. Went well I think.. had a few moments where I was so out of breath and felt like I wanted to vomit but apart from that I feel good… I suddenly feel even more excited for beach weather.

I heart sunnies

Today is Friday… which means last workday… which means two days off. Woohoo!! So a few of us took an extended lunch break and went down to the pub for a $10 steak and chips and free beer.. Talk about bargain. Anyway here is a photo we took while there and the reason I wanted to post it was.. check out the sunnies. If you remember a previous post I put up with love heart sunnies.. well I found my very own pair at Forever New.. $30. Luv them.

thailand

I wanted to add some photos I took in Thailand earlier this year. I took a bundle of photos while I was there but I thought I would quickly add these. First of all the bunny photo.. it is cute and adorable while at the same time being incredibly sad. The second pic was taken at the markets in Chang Mai, the third is at the beach at Phuket at sunset... gorgeous and breathtaking. The heart shaped rice we got while at dinner..

boho style

Loving the plaits in Blake Livelys hair and the hair piece on Lauren Conrad.. maybe I will give the plaits a go. They look pretty basic but might just search youtube for a quick how-to video.

Pursuit of happiness

I asked myself today what would truely make me happy.. and I realised I have absolutely no idea what that is. I always look to the external for that answer and I know thats not where I will find it.

But I do know one thing a hot bath and candles relaxes me, a glass of red while I cook dinner makes me content, good conversation makes me smile, a hug from my boyfriend or a call from my mum makes me feel loved and a great song makes almost anything feel better.

Boozy lunches and butt shaking

Here are some pics from last night, dancing our butts off - literally. Actually yesterday was just fun and perfect the whole day. In the morning I slept in until the grand time of 8am - oh yeah huge sleep in for me as I am normally up at 6. Than fried myself some eggs and drank my english breakfast while reading a book that I haven't had a chance to pick up in months. Met some girls in the city for a shopping sesh where I found a dress to wear to my boyfriends grad night - 70% off I might add. We met up with an old friend for a few beers over lunch. Although the weather was freezin - when its meant to be summer - and it seemed jean shorts and singlet were not the correct selection. It was still perfect.

The evening saw us hit up a nearby  chinese restaurant  where we shared some yummy dishes of babecue chicken, garlic beef and cashew chicken.

We went out for some but shaking at the clubs.. not a late one I was home by midnight which means I am well rested today and am in good form for a relaxing sunday. Unlike the hangover I carried all last sunday, which saw me couch ridden for the entire day.

I am trying not to remind myself that work starts again tomorrow - aaaagggg. Sometimes I wish I could just throw it all in and work as a yoga instructor or a hairdresser. But I still have the whole day today to not work so time to have a shower and make myself recognisable as human and explore the day.

I Heart Sunnies

Umm I want these sunnies. Reminds of the late John Lennon and 60s fashion. Wonder where I could find a pair of these. The hunt is on.

Blonding it up.

Some cute little outfits from Nasty Girl Love the models blonde locks too. I have just returned from being a brunette and I think I am ready to embrace the blonde again for summer.

It's gonna be alright

As I have had a crappy couple of days – not anything bad – but just a couple of off-days, work stress mainly, I saw this and thought I would post it. At the end of the day nothing really matters that much and sometimes we just all need to chill the fuck out and not take life so seriously.
Still feel the urge to crack open a bottle of red when I get home and forget about the world.
