It's a beautiful morning...

love this idea- using fabric swatch portraits as mini noticeboards.

broaches aren't just for your nana!

Saturday morning the boy and myself relished in a sunny, lazy child free breakfast in a cafe by the beach, people watching, sipping frothy cappachinno, munching eggs bennedict while reading multiple issues of Frankie magazines. Total and utter bliss.

Sadly, today is my last day off before I go back to work after 2 weeks off. And what a beautiful day to end on- absolutely perfect cloudless skies. The question is, do I stay home and organise the house, tidy, sort, wash and get ready for the week or do I get outside and lap up my last day off sunning and lazing down at the beach?

note to self: order subscription to Frankie magazine...

SATC2

Only 5 months until Sex & the City 2. I can't wait, how about you?
And what do you think about the poster? It's very bright and sparkly, I don't know about those aviators though...maybe she is wearing them so she doesn't get blinded by those city lights?

Edward or Jacob?

We are off for a girls night out at the movies tonight- I have been waiting for this for a looong time. Yes, I am aware I am not a teenage girl but there is something about the Twilight saga that absolutely captivates me. I am sooo team Edward all the way, not a full blown Twi-hard (I didn't go to the mightnight screening or anything) but enough to be classed as a slight obsession.
Has anyone seen the movie yet???

Sex and the city 80's style

pearls, lace and leggings...very a-la madonna like a virgin

a little girls just want to have fun meets flashdance?

charlotte, preppy as always with bobby socks and a knotted sweater and a flick of her hair...

you gotta love miranda, especially that bowl haircut!

samatha does punk like no other...

I am a total die hard SATC fan and just had to post these images I stumbled upon from the sequel.
I love Sex and the city and I love the 80's so the two combined = simply fabulous!

New house found!

It's official, we no longer have the strong possibility of being homeless come settlement day on the sale of our house-we're moving!
Here's the lowdown on the new house.

Saw it advertised online on the Sunday night (was only put on the market that weekend), looked at it Tuesday with my mum and sister, looked at it again on Wednesday with my other sister and step mum, made an offer Wednesday night, agreed to sale price Thursday- Too easy!

I guess when you have a feeling about a place you have to act on it right?
Does it really matter that my partner has only seen pictures of it online? Guess not, though it will certainly be a surprise when he sees it for the first time on settlement day! Hope he likes it...

Coco Avant Chanel

"Fashion passes, style remains" - Coco Chanel

Much fabulousness here I am sure with the film, Coco Avant (Before) Chanel being released at the cinemas today here in Australia.

Isn't gorgeous Audrey Tautou just the perfect choice to portray fashion icon Gabrielle 'Coco' Chanel? Sure to be filled with much glamour and style it details her life from her humble beginnings to the heights of society and I am positive I will leave wishing I lived in that fabulous country and era with any sort of style of my own (sadly mine is non existent).

Somehow I don't think this will be the movie we see this weekend (boys may rather stick pins in there eyes- or my boy anyway).

No, this will definitely be one to see with the girls...
