23rd April

Something weird happened with my pics, and these are literally the only three that survived!
The weather has seriously turned, so this is probably the last lightweight frock for a while!

I'm going through a massive nail polish phase... I'm thinking I need to do a weekly mani post!

forgotten February

The weather has been so wet, that by the time I get home I'm either unphotographable or the light is so bad it seems like too much work. And then... the rain has stuffed our internet connection on and off for a month, so even when I did take pics I couldn't upload them.
Anyway, I've burnt my hand badly and am on forced couch-rest, so thought I'd catch up!

titles are hard

Let's be serious folks - I'm here for the clothes, not for the clever word-smithery. Eventually my titles will be dates, I suspect.

We just had our first proper puppy-walk as his vaccinations are finally sorted. He had a lovely time, and the husband and I discovered an unsprayed blackberry bush in full fruit - hurrah! Plus side of a wet summer is nice plump berries!

back to the grindstone

So, I'm back at work this week. I'm hoping this translates to more blogging, as I will have good reason to wear more interesting clothes than puppy-wrangling and house-cleaning clothes.

The weather has been really up and down, and today was only in the low twenties. And today was really overcast too! It's like there's no evidence of summer weather on this blog!

This is Obie. He is our new Beaglier pup (Beagle X King Charles Cavalier). He is about 10 weeks old right now, finds buttons and shoelaces delicious, and is never happier than when sleeping on a person. 

New hairstyle I've been trialling -  a braided crown. A friend sent me a link to a tutorial , but I sort of worked it out from the photograph. Tutorial here:

Hope to be here much more - January was dismal!

sale away

So, friends and I hit the Boxing Day sales today, and had a lovely time. I keep reassuring myself that one can never have too many dresses... especially since I change my mind about what suits me every 3-5 minutes!
Apologies for drab inside pics, I'm hiding from neighbourhood children who come and bug us if they see us stir outside.

And I've clearly forgotten to smile again! Oops! Let me reassure one and all that I am high on a wave of joyful retail therapy! :)

Too tired to think of anything useful to write! Christmas is a-coming!

I'm not feeling as sad as I appear in these pictures - clearly my mind is elsewhere! Also, I may have smudged my eye make-up when I got home, so that may account for it. Also... I often forget to smile.

Anyway. I'm a bit excited because I worked out the inside-out braid all by myself. We were supposed to go out Sunday evening and it was a bit windy and I thought "A braid would be good, but the normal ones make me look like a school-marm... I wonder how you do in the inside out style" and then I raised my hands and did it. I guess years of braiding and knitting means my hands understand how it works better than I think! Today was the third one I've done since Sunday and I'm loving them! It's very messy in these pics because the day has taken its toll, but I'm very charmed by it!

catch up

This was Tuesday. The weather has been somewhat apocalyptic, and it's crunch time at work, so I'm a bit behind on my blogging!

You can see aspects of my new garden in the following pics too - strawberry patch, grape vine and cherry tree, and assorted veges and herbs.

Dress - Princess Highway

Flats - Rubi

Hair clip - Industrie

Quick to follow - evening look from Thursday night's work function.

be afraid

We settle on our new house tomorrow, and did our pre-settlement inspection today. I'm so excited! This is probably why I am feeling brave enough to post this psycho pic... ;)

Obviously, Halloween isn't really a thing here in Australia. But I had this shirt, so it seemed like a good day to wear it!

We move on Friday and I just can't wait.

I'll be white with you

It was pretty warm today - 27C! It seemed like a good day for white, but I caught myself in the mirror while leaving this morning and wondered briefly if I looked like a wedding cake!

I think I look rather like Alice in Wonderland, what with the bunnies and all!
