dragon alliance.......

2012-01-27T06:01:00.000+08:00

When I was about 9 years old my friend gave me a post card she got from some fashion magazine. With this blondish girl with bright red lips and aviator style shades. I thought it was the coolest thing ever, and I wanted to be her. I used to carry it around with me all the time for a while. It was pretty weird. But looking at the first photo of myself in these rad Dragon Alliance shades, I realised I looked pretty darn similar to the girl in the post card.

Life goal complete!!

These snaps are from yesterday, which also happened to be Australia Day, and I happen to love Australia very much.

The Dragon Alliance shades are also featured on Mr Stompface. I think they look better on him actually. He is always stealing my thunder. Sometimes its all why has the storm only got lightning? It's because he has trapped my thunder in a cupboard.

Meanwhile, in Photo Town. He is channelling his skills from when he was a child model (HE TOLD ME SPECIFICALLY NOT TO MENTION THIS, I'm fairly sure he never reads my blog so I think I'm safe).

I think he looks very handsome.

Dragon Alliance are also having a super awesome competition to become Dragon's BFF their party animal friend!! You can enter here. All you need to do is upload a party time excellent photo, and you can do amaze things with them like hitting up exclusive parties. You may even get to play hopscotch and hold hands and skip, because that's just what BFF's do! Just enter, you know you want to, all the other kids are doing it!

Dragons...there's just something about dragons.

Just a quick snap from yesterday at Lawn Bowls.....

I should be getting ready for work right now...ahh procrastination.

Why am I not on holidays forever?!

2012-01-11T07:30:00.001+08:00

As you could probably tell by my lack of posting, I'm back at work. It is not fun. I would like to be a housewife please. Here are some random instagram snaps for your eyes to look at.

2012-01-04T15:22:00.000+08:00

My mum handed down this beautiful jade ring to me at Christmas. It was the first piece of jewelry my dad ever bought her, when she was only 21! Which makes it over 40 years old. I love history, especially family history. This ring will not leave my hand for a while!

minkpink shades.................

2012-01-03T09:43:00.000+08:00

I am obsessed with these amazeballs MINKPINK shades from Market HQ. And the most shocking thing of all is that, my husband likes them too!! I don't think he has ever, in the 7 years we have been together, EVER liked a pair of my shades. It's a Christmas miracle!!

Gosh the packaging of these were even more magical in real life! They made me feel like a pirate with a treasure chest. And I just happen to love pretending to be a pirate! Hoorah.

Happy New Years............

2012-01-01T15:33:00.001+08:00

Here are a few snaps of my outfitty on New Years Eve. Unfortunately I made the horrible discovery that sequins are my enemy. They were cutting up my arms all night! But they are so gosh darn sparkly all I want to do is cover myself in them head to toe, but I also do not want to be all cut up and bleedy...what a dilemma!! Also it was so floaty! It was crazy windy last night, I was flashing people the entire time, including my friends grandparents! Awkward.....It WAS a beautiful dress though.

I spent my new years celebrating the engagement of our absolutely wonderful friends John & Janet. Super happy for them, they are off on a long travelling adventure and I will miss them very much!!

Did you all have amaze celebrations last night?

My new years day has been pretty chilled, spending some time with family and currently drinking wine eating doritos and watching Ship To Shore. Yes Ship To Shore. Why is it that all kids tv shows insist on the kids forming some kind of band? It makes me cringe.

dress from Princess Polly, boots Sportsgirl (had to wear flats unfortunately as there were many stairs and it was a backyard garden affair), bag Sportsgirl (which actually broke half way through the night, I was so sad it broke whilst I was just standing still, all of my bags from there have broken. It makes my heart sad), lipstick Morange by MAC

2012!!

2012-01-01T06:50:00.002+08:00

How did that happen?! The world doesn't feel very ended yet but I'm sketchy on when it's supposed to!

Some snaps of my facey last night before New Years Eve times. More pics to come later assuming we got some good ones!

Hope 2012 is treating you well so far!!

2011................

I can't believe 2011 is nearly over.... Wishing you all an amazingly wonderful night with millions of adventures! I will see you again next year!

two x pockets = a good amount.......................

2011-12-30T19:15:00.000+08:00

If you refer to this post, I was rambling about staples and tables and what not. Turns out staples can be outfits, because Staple the Label is in fact pretty amazeballs. Super loving on this tee by them.

Probably sick of seeing this skirt but it's pretty much one of my favourites. I do love a flowy lacey skirty dream. Yes I sure do. In fact I love it almost as much as I love protecting my eyeballs from the harsh UV rays that are all around us. Yes these shades are the best for that plus they are BE AUT IF UL. Yes. capslock was entirely necessary. Everything is better in capslock. EVERYTHING (see.)

Too much rambles too much wine. Can you believe it's New Years Eve tomorrow night? It actually shatters my entire universe that it's nearly 2012.

If I don't blog again until next year ( ho ho ho) have a super amazing night. Or Else!

camera...............

2011-12-30T06:59:00.000+08:00

After being without a decent camera for a very long time, and relying heavily on my good pal Mr Iphone, I was pretty super happy to receive this rad camera for Christmas from the ever lovely Mr Stompface.

I highly recommend, it is freakin' cool. And also very beautiful.

pink minkpink is alright by me...............

2011-12-29T20:29:00.001+08:00

When you have two ridiculously hot days in a row, it becomes too hot to put together any sort of outfit.

So I was happy when this arrived in my Market HQ package yesterday. Super comfy, perfect summer table. I must be tired because by table I obviously mean staple. Not the kind you use to hold pages together, dresses can not be used to hold together documents. Unless it is a dress made entirely out of documents. But that is an entirely different story.

Can you tell I'm delirious? It's the heat, THE HEAT I TELLS YA.

I love things that are pink.

The End

the world's funnest dress................

2011-12-29T06:57:00.000+08:00

This lacy dress is pretty much the funnest dress in the world. Anything with tutu's are alright by me!

Unfortunately the only photos I got of me wearing it were a couple of instagram ones and some of me playing on the cross trainer.. Isn't Elliptical a funny word? Elliptical, Elliptical! It was the most exercise I've done all year!

Fun lacy dresses, I highly recommend!!

Crazy heart on this Fairground Pony dress I had been saving especially for Christmas day. Pefect to throw on over bathers. Super sparky and fun, and I loves things that are sparkly and fun! I hope you all had super fun Christmas and Boxing days! I sure did and am still on the wines! Wooh!

So today I started my Christmas holidays!! Work was super cruisy today and I was out of there by 10.30 in the morning! Happiness consumes me! Super excited for summer time fun! And Christmas time, I have been getting crazy festive this year, making snow flakes to hang from the ceiling, watching an abundance of Christmas movies and going to look at neighbourhood Christmas lights. It's been wonderful!

I'm almost not sure what to do with my next 17 days off! So expect a lot of bloggety blog blogs from me. Especially since I got a nice fancy camera as an early Christmas present thanks to my Love.

These photos are taken by Mr Stompface, who fancies himself to be quite the camographer (his words).

Hanger Nation with Shelley Craft.................

2011-12-22T17:12:00.004+08:00

I was lucky enough to get to shoot a few questions through to Shelley Craft about her latest project, the Hanger Nation . What a super cute lady she is!

If you haven't seen Hanger Nation yet, you should download it, its free! Free stuff is the best kind. It's super useful if you are as obsessed with fashion and online shopping as I am. I'm finding myself browsing through nearly every day, definitely a good time waster when you are supposed to be doing work!

Hanger Nation is basically a central point for many amazing Australian Designers, you can view their latest collections and even locate where to buy them where you live.

Check out the Q & A below:

What was the main inspiration that gave you this idea, and got you started on this project?

The idea came from the fact that I am a mad internet shopper and I was forever looking for a: my favourite designers estores and b: new Australian designers. The problem being that if you don’t know their exact address, precious shopping time is wasted!

You mention being ‘time poor’, how did you manage to put together this project with everything else on your plate? And was it hard to keep yourself motivated?

I am fairly time poor yes, I work for channel 9 on Australia’s Funniest Home Videos and THE BLOCK and I have a 16 month old daughter who is a true live wire and needs constant entertainment. I started working on HANGER NATION when I was pregnant, so I really had no idea what I was in for when Milla came along. Thankfully most of the ground work was done and now it is just a matter of making sure when new collections come in, they are uploaded straight away and of course I am always on the look out for new design talent

On compiling the list of designers for Hanger Nation, who were the first that sprang to mind that you knew you had to feature?

I wanted there to be a great mix of big names ie: WAYNE COOPER, LEONA EDMISTON, SAMANTHA WILLS, and of course some great smaller Australian Designers that I have fallen in love with: LISA BROWN, FRANCIS LEON, LUELA, SPELL.

Are there any up and coming or relatively unknown Australia Designers that you are a fan of?

Oh Yes, as a child of the 80’s I am loving the return of the jelly sandal. HOLSTER is an Australian shoe design company based in Noosa and they have the most fabulous range of summer sandal AND winter gumboot. All in the jelly style. Again, LISA BROWN is an absolute favourite of mine, I love her style and it certainly suits my lifestyle.

Can you recommend a few online shops that you visit the most or find the most reliable?

I shop a lot from ALL ABOUT THE DRESS which is site completely dedicated to special occasion/party dresses. I do get many of my FHV frocks from here.

Is there a designer or store that you can always rely on when you need to find an outfit for a special occasion?

It doesn’t matter the season or collection,

WAYNE COOPER will definitely have what you need, party, wedding, work, races – he is my never fail go to designer

Will Hanger Nation feature designers from other countries in the future?

I am a huge fan and supporter of Australian fashion. We have such a diverse sense of style and each of our Aussie designers really has cultivated a unique and individual look. I don’t believe the need to feature overseas designers on HANGER NATION – support Australian, buy Australian and be proud of our fabulous Australian designer talent.

whoa PINK.....

2011-12-10T14:37:00.000+08:00

Yes what you are witnessing right now is pretty much the greatest party dress in the history of all party dresses.

It is a VERY wonderful and VERY pink dress! It makes me want to roll myself down hills and jump up and down on the spot for 15 minutes whilst yelling things about dresses and pink things.

I wore this absolutely adorably adorable dress from Justyna G to my work Xmas party last night. What an amazingly wonderful creation she has created here, she is not a fashion designer she is a secret wizard because she clearly has magical powers. Secret wizards are the best kind.

Gosh I am feeling super super seedy but staring at photos of this dress is brightening my day, and should brighten yours too! It's fun to look at things that are pink and pretty! Weeeeeee

Yes, I am slightly delirious today..

stylestalker x pink flamingoes x gold belt................

2011-12-04T17:20:00.000+08:00

Surrounded by pink flamingoes in my friends backyard last night. A very beautiful garden, I'm sure they won't mind if I invite myself over constantly to do photoshoots with my new birdy friends who conveniently coordinate with my bag.

The pink flamingoes always reminds me of the movie of the same name, which is disturbing, it is a pretty whack journey and you will know what I mean if you have seen it.

p.s what a blog roll I am on lately....mmm it is a delicious roll, because as everyone knows blog rolls are always made with hundreds & thousands! weeeeeeee

2011-12-04T08:45:00.000+08:00

Fun Friday afternoon times with my best friend Max and Mr Stompface, running around the streets in the sunny sun wearing a spotty spot dress and sparkly sparkle shoes on my veiny vein feet! It was wonderful.

Can you feel the summertime!!! I am having a summah constantly, and I like it.

Good day sirs.

2011-12-04T08:25:00.019+08:00

Good golly, who doesn't love a ridiculously sparkly foot. I sure do, feet are not my favourite thing to look at, but if you cover them in sparkly goodness it is a pleasant distraction. Although beware of magpies.

I thought I would show you these minus my feet first, so you can really appreciate their beauty, because in a second I will show some photos where my feet are in them and I have silly feet.

These Holster shoes are a magical dream, you can find them here! I think it's so hard to find sandals in this day and age that are a bit different, I feel like everything looks so similar so its nice to have something a bit unique partying on your feet on hot summer days.

tilkah x christmas spirit = best

2011-12-03T06:43:00.000+08:00

Gosh! All these Christmas timey things going on all around me are getting me super into the Christmas spirit!!

I've just discovered Tilkah have an online shop, and it's pretty amazeballs.

I remember being so excited to check out their store when I was in Melbourne nearly 5 years ago!

They are running some great Christmas specials, and holy hell their neckpieces are beautiful.

Also that cream bag is called the "Veruca Salt - I want it now daddy" bag. Anything referencing Willy Wonka is alright by me!
