Etsy Revamp Sale

Hey lovelies. I hope you all had a wonderful weekend. Mine was a lot more relaxed and fairly productive. I've finally listed all my old mini note cards in my Etsy. 

So I'm revamping the shop and selling off everything in it for 50% off. You just need to use the coupon code SALESALE. 

Here's the mini note cards that are for sale...














Brown, Turquoise and Pink

And there are a bunch of headbands too. They will only be $5 each! I'm changing my stock so I thought I would put the items I do have on sale. So remember to use the coupon code SALESALE to get your 50% off!

Thanks lovelies. I do have a lot of ideas at the moment and I'm just trying to use the time I have. Hopefully I will have some new items and a new design soon!!

Happy Things to end the week with

I'm so glad it's the weekend tomorrow. It feels like it's been such a tiring week. I definitely appreciate weekends a lot more (and time in general) now that I work basically full time and volunteer. 

So happy things to end the week with...


♥ This is a piece of chocolate slice I took with me to my desk at work after another morning tea. The second morning tea in three weeks. Hee I love my government job. 


♥ My citrus tart and hot chocolate that I had for breakfast this morning. I usually treat myself on Fridays before I go to my volunteering. 

♥ I have paid off my half of the credit card! It feels awesome.

♥ I got my tax back and my first pay check in the same week. It almost blew my mind.

♥ Email convos with Jasmine through our work emails. Seriously we talk about the most random things on there.

♥ Laughing until my stomach hurts at work (it's a shame I missed out on a mini party in my area today. They told me they ate my share of food lol)

♥ Not having to pay off the loan I owe my parents because they said it is a gift. They are so amazing and generous! I can't get over how wonderful my parents are. 

It looks like I will just have to do a world trip. I can't decide where to go because I want to visit both Europe and the US and Canada. I will just have to do more research I guess :)

What's making you happy this week? Have a beautiful weekend.



P.S. Oh and I did a guest post for Micaela here.

Just a Minute in August...


* brooch from Sophie Isobel - This was a gift from Anastasia awhile ago. 

 Just a Minute in... August

Thinking... About getting health insurance. After volunteering at the hospital, I would love a private room when I have a baby and I need at least a year on health insurance. 

Hoping... I can organise my life better.

Wanting... To get more inspired and to get out of my creative slump

Loving... My work mates. I get along so well with one of the girls and we have a great laugh. Too bad I only work with her once a week. 

Planning... A baby shower for my sis in law but it will be even more exciting when we find out if it's a boy or girl

Buying... A pleated skirt... I still haven't quite decided on which one I will get though (Thanks for your comments by the way)

So, I'm also wanting to plan a holiday. I'm thinking of either Europe or the US next year. I'm just not sure where to go first :) What are your suggestions? 

Anyway, have a lovely rest of week.

Pleated Skirt love

Lately, I've been obsessed with pretty pleated skirts. When I get my first paycheck it just might go towards one of these skirts.


Via Elle

I think this is beautiful. Peach top and mint green skirt.



I do love this outfit. 



I would wear this in summer time.



So I'm trying to decide with this pale pink skirt. Or...



This pretty blue skirt. 

What do you think??  I need to make a decision so I can figure out some outfits :) 

Have a great week.

Happy Things to end the week with

Hello lovelies. It has been a good week. I'm slowly starting to understand everything at work and I did my volunteer at the Mater today. I get so clucky around all the babies.

Here's some happy things to end the week with...


♥ I bought a bunch of $5 tops for work and some racer back singlets. And those shoes were $10. 

♥ I get to hang with Jasmine again tomorrow :)

♥ Jasmine and I have email convos through our work emails. It's nice to see it pop up when I'm typing away. 

♥ I'm planning my sis in law Melly's baby shower!! That's means there is another baby Landicho coming into the family. 


♥ Um...I have no words for this but I can say that I am soo excited. Josh Hutcherson is really living up to Peeta :) I think I love him. 

 Have a blessed weekend.

It's an outfit post!

I hope you had a great weekend. I feel like I accomplished several things so I feel good about that. This outfit is what I wore to church yesterday.


Cardi: Miss Shop from Myer
Leggings: We Love Colors
Shoes: Winsor Smith from Myer
Belt: Forever New


This is my lovely dress I got from the Finders Keepers market, from RaRa Superstar that is made from vintage fabric or recycled fabric. And the awesome blue leggings I won via Much Love illy. It's from We love Colors and I chose this pretty colour. They are soo comfy. I also won some knee highs. 

One day I will be able to do better outfit posts. Usually this is done in a rush and there's not much time to get some better photos.

P.S. To see better outfit photos check out Jasmine's look book post with me :)

Happy Things to end the week with

It's been a busy week and I'm so glad it's nearly the weekend. I'm still tired and my head is full of so much information, I wouldn't mind relaxing for the next few days.

So happy things to end my week....

♥ My new job. It is going well as my last post indicated. 


* not the greatest photo. This is my volunteer ID tag

♥ I had my first volunteer session today at the Mater hospital. It was fun though kind of daunting. I loved holding little baby feet and making little prints but I'm not sure I will be able to do this by myself so I might change positions. I will try again next week and make a decision then :) 


♥ My current read. A Clash of Kings, the second book in A song of Ice and Fire (Game of Thrones is the first book). The more I read the series the more I love it.  

I have a ton of things to organise including a blog giveaway, an Etsy sale, a letterpress course and potential ballet classes. Plus I have mail to respond to, packages to send out (I have a bit of a back log) and swaps to complete. But tonight I'm going to do lots of reading and relaxing.

Have a beautiful and blessed weekend.

P.S. I have another guest post at Anastasia's blog here. It's a ballet inspired post.
