I got a fringe

Hello my lovelies. I hope you had a wonderful weekend. Mine was quite busy. First off, I got a haircut and I got a fringe. I've been thinking about it for awhile now so it wasn't a spur of the moment decision. 

This is it. I love it! I'm quite surprised at how well it turned out. 

Dress: Modcloth ; Shoes: Witchery; Bracelets: Mombasa, Necklace: Equip, Belt: Myer? 

I wore this outfit to church and then in the afternoon for my nephew Micah's first birthday party. 

This is my nephew Elijah. He was conked out after a big day. I adored his little overalls. 

And Micah the birthday boy. He looks so happy here. My brother also thought to spike his hair up for the occasion. 

It was a great weekend and I even found some time to clean the bathrooms for our Autumn 'Spring' Clean.

Oh and two more sleeps until The Hunger Games midnight session!! 

Autumn 'Spring' Clean Week 1

Hello lovelies! Well it is the first week of The Autumn 'Spring' Clean. This weekend Jasmine and I are going to clean and organise our bathrooms. Mine isn't too bad but my cabinets could do with some culling.

Remember you can join in with us and show your progress on Twitter and Instagram. You can add me on both.

We will have some before and after pictures and together we can organise our places. 

On other news, I'm getting my haircut tomorrow and maybe getting a fringe! It's a big step because I've always wanted one but didn't think they would suit me. But I'm going to go for it so that will be another big change. 

Have an absolutely wonderful weekend!

The Hunger Games Premier!

It was The Hunger Games Premier in LA today and I was so excited to follow all the news via Twitter. I love Mockingjay.net and The Hob. Seeing all the updates made me extremely jealous but so happy!

She looked so utterly gorgeous and stunning! Major girl crush. 

Even though she is taller than Josh I still adore him.

Well I just had to blog that quickly!! I'm beyond excited and I can't wait for next week! 

Outfits :)

I found these outfits in my photo archive. The funny thing is they were all outfits I wore for birthday events.

I wore this on my actual birthday

Dress - Mombasa

Sandals - Sportsgirl

Bracelets - Mombasa

I wore on my birthday when we went out for dinner

Headband - Muchloveilly

Top - Valleygirl

Skirt - Mombasa

Shoes - Kmart (my $5 shoes!)

I wore this to my birthday celebration on the Sunshine Coast

Top - Valleygirl (I'm wearing the same top)

Shorts - Valleygirl

Sandals - Forevernew (old)

Bow - Muchloveilly 

The back of my top. This is what attracted me to the top in the first place.

I feel that I sometimes wear clothes that are a little too young for me? I don't know. I need to look into my wardrobe a little more and see what I can change. Do I come across like that? Haa maybe I'm looking into this too much. 

Have a great rest of week.

Organising Project

Hello hello! I hope the start of your week has been good. It's raining here and so muggy. I go from freezing cold air con at work to hot and humid weather outside. 

Anyway, Jasmine and I have decided to start an organising/de-cluttering project/mission. In around two weeks time, each week we will have a room or section of the house that will be organised and de-cluttered. One of the best things is you can all get involved so we can help each other out with some Autumn/Spring cleaning. And hopefully keep ourselves motivated and accountable to each other. 

To give you an idea on one of the worst parts of my house, here are some photos. 

This is my creative space. 

I can't even use my desk. 

My floor just has stuff scattered everywhere.

My bookshelves aren't too bad but they need reorganising. I have all those other books on the floor. 

My second wardrobe for my dresses, belts and scarves. 

Each week it will be things like, organise your wardrobe or clean out your kitchen cupboards. So we will just focus on each section and just get it done. Jasmine is going to create a blog button if you want to get involved. Is this something you would be interested in? We are going to show our progress anyway so you can join in if you suddenly feel motivated.

Just a Minute in...March

Happy Weekend friends. I'm so glad this week is over. Some weeks feel like they drag on forever so when I see the weekend in sight I get very excited.

♥ I love pretty collars

Just a Minute in....March

Reading... The Green Mile (I thought the movie was amazing). Assorted magazines

Watching... The Hunger Games movie!

Writing... Letters and putting together packages

Thinking... About the organising/decluttering challenge with Jasmine we want to organise

Jumping... Up and down with joy because it's The Hunger Games movie month

Planning... The itinerary for our USA trip

♥ Booked my ticket to a midnight session of The Hunger Games. With two friends (who still get student ticket prices. Sigh). This will be my first midnight movie session.

♥ I treated myself to these pink skinnies from Asos. 

So there are a few things I'm excited about this month. I can't believe the movie is nearly here! And there should be a few packages arriving this month too :) 

I hope your weekend and March is fantastic. What are you looking forward too?

Shoe Wishlist

Hey lovelies. I hope you are having a great week. One of my biggest obsessions at the moment is looking for shoes for my US trip. I don't know what it is about shoes but I could spend (I do) hours looking for the perfect ones.

Since there will be a lot of walking I want some comfy, but still pretty flats (so no sport shoes unless they are Onitsuka tigers or something). I would love a pair of TOMS ballet flats. I have a red pair of their normal shoes and they are so comfortable. 

I do like both of these colours. I'm leaning towards the cream and black ones. Which do you prefer?

I like both these RMK flats. They have a tiny inbuilt wedge so they might be a little better on the feet. I'm not really sure which one I like better. Maybe the nude/flesh ones. What do you like better?

These are Django & Juliette flats. I thought these would be good for comfort because they have the thicker rubber sole. Which colour do you like best?

I still have plenty of time until I have to make a decision but I most likely will get at least a pair of TOMS and some other pair of flats. I will be living in them for 5 weeks so I need comfortable shoes. 

If you have any other suggestions let me know.
