Easter Parade

My poor son will have to wear this monstrosity that I whipped up for his day care Easter parade next week. Hopefully next years effort will be a huge improvement.

One Dimension

The blog has become a bit one dimensional. I do apologise but unfortunately there is going to be more of the same. I'm really enjoying fashion and shopping at the moment and I love using the blog as a diary of sorts, flicking back through to see what works and what doesn't.

Lovisa Assorted Bangles

Witchery Neoprene Pleat Skirt in Rasberry

Pulp Black Stud Sandals

Kmart Heart Necklace

I have been eyeing off this Country Road trench coat for quite some time. It feels so nice and heavy weight unlike other trenches, I can imagine it being quite warm for Winter. A little out of my price range but cardholders 20% off one day only made the deal a little sweeter.

I had to take a few things back to Witchery because their sizing is so off. The long sleeve stripe sweat that I posted about earlier was so big even in an XS that I couldn't wear it. So back it went. I also needed a reason to buy some leather leggings. An exchange made it a little easier. The dress is so pretty but I ummed and ahhed over it as the weather is due to cool down a fair bit but I do have a few events coming up, hopefully the nice sunny days hang around for a little longer.

This bedding set has been near impossible to find, the Real Living Dotty set released in Target stores nationally. It never even made the shelves at any store close to me and was supposed to be available online. It was on the front cover of Real Living magazine. It frustrates me to no end when something is promoted and then unavailable. Target is guilty of this with almost every catalogue they release. Due to go on sale for 2 weeks from Thursday, sold out on the website by 9am Thursday morning and remains sold out for the duration of the sale. Is this a marketing ploy or are they really that unorganised to make sure there is enough stock to handle a sale? I have been on the waiting list for this bedding set for over a month with barely an email to let me know what's happening, when I happened to spot (excuse the pun) a lonely set on the shelf at my local store. That is how I finally got my mitts on this coveted set.

Now I just need the European pillow cases....

Shoes & Shopping

I think the quality of Tony Bianco shoes is pretty good, but the price of them has really jumped in the last few years. Their sale prices are usually excellent so I try to hold out!

Pooped

Has been a very busy few weeks. I'm back working and because my husband has been on afternoon shift I have been able to work 4-5 days every week. When I get home after work each day my second shift starts - looking after my two munchkins! Totally exhausted but really loving it.

It's great being able to wear whatever I want to work!

Got this shirt stuck in the zipper of the skirt as I was getting undressed, it is well and truly stuck so I won't be able to wear either anymore!!

Have bought quite a few new things for work, but won't do a shopping blog post as I can't quite remember what there is! I'm sure everything will be featured in outfit photos very soon!

Happy 100 To Meeeee!

Yay I have reached 100 blog posts! I can't believe I have actually lasted this long! I am approaching my one year anniversary too. So lucky to have such lovely readers that read my little old blog and leave comments. I plan on blogging for a lot longer so I hope you'll stick with me!!

A few outfits from the last few days.

A few bargain buys for Winter. Used my Witchery rewards for the mint coloured jeans! Found the  star print sweater in the teenage girls section of Big W! There is a few cute things in the womens section which I have laybyed along with some Winter stuff for the boys. Can't wait to get it out so I can share with all of you!

I See Red

These red jeans were $15 from Kmart and I LOVE them! The quality is the same as my white ones from Country Road. I'm very tempted to get some more but I'm not loving any of the other colours at the moment. Hopefully they'll bring out some prettier colours for Winter!

A few outfits from the past week that I haven't had time to blog about until now!

I've been a bit disappointed with this Country Road skirt. I thought it would have been quite versatile but I'm struggling to find tops to go with it.

Lips: Revlon Lip Butter in Sweet Tart

My hair is looking pretty drab at the moment. I'm trying to grow it out until my sister in laws wedding then after that I'll get a pretty big chop. In the meantime I decided to DIY ombre in an attempt to blend my roots a bit without causing any more damage.

Goldwell Colorance Mousse in 6N Dark Blonde

I'm really quite happy with the result! Will only last a few washes but makes it look shinier and healthier. I usually tend to go a bit darker in the Winter and this is a really easy at home colour. No ammonia or bleach = no damage! And only temporary so if you don't like it, it washes out after a few weeks.
