What I Love About... Today.

I hung out the washing and cleaned the back table and it's only 7:45am.
I love being productive.
The net is back on and functioning again. I love Telstra. I will (try to) never doubt them again. I have oats in my belly. I love honey in the morning :) I have a job. A decent job. They pay is poor and there is a lot to learn but it's an income and independence for me. I love that.

I have a boy in my bed that I can now go back to and snuggle for 5 minutes and I love him. Today will be great!

Your turn :)

Technology and me

Aren't friends right now. My enthusiasm for the camera has long since died, along with my self confidence in my health and fitness. My laptop needed reformatting (thank god for online backup!) and then the Internet got cut off by good ol telstra because we were apparently hacked and used to send malicious emails. Great. Me and my iPhone are still on speaking terms, but it's very early on in our relationship. I got it last week. Along with a job at Jb. So I guess life isn't too bad. :P Will return when telstra decides to play nice. Thanks for hanging around :)

edit. The net is back on! Telstra has restored my faith in... them. And I do love my iPhone - it just takes up all my time with crazy little apps. Angry birds anyone?

Date Night 1#

Sometimes the simplest outfits are the best. Especially in the summer time *wipes sweat from brow.* I love looking especially girlie when I go out with David. Partly because we're very similar in height and weight so dresses remind me that I'm the pretty one. Or something like that.

I'd spent all day at home with my new steam mop so I'm so glad David agreed to go out for dinner and a movie. We went to Dome and I had the spinach and ricotta cannelloni and D had a club sandwich. Then we cruised to the cinema to watch True Grit. I was hoping there'd be a 9:15 showing of Black Swan but no such luck! Just means we'll have to add it to our collection when it comes out :)



I spent all weekend gardening so I'm a little behind in the outfit department but just like healthy eating, I refuse to fall off the bandwagon completely (ok, not like healthy eating, because I used to just throw the towel in the whole week if I've had a bad day, yeah.) and I'm pushing on with my 30! I'm also considering cutting my bangs back in, I'm due for a trim either way... what do you think?


Mischa and Daddy having outside time ^ Normally David would be heading north today for the 9 days but he's working from the city all week so we're going to have another 2 full weekends together! :) I guess I am in luck after all.

How To Train Your Dragon

romper: vintage c/o lauren | skirt: just jeans | belt: from valleygirl dress | shoes: novo

These are my favourite shots David has taken for me so far - at the little park at the end of our street, it was just really nice taking the time to do them together. It had been a while. This romper is Lauren's! I love it and can't wait to get more use out of it this month before it has to go home.



It's ridiculously humid and hot here at the moment so my hair wasn't worn like this all day; instead I donned school girl plaits but these photos were post nap-time so a headband was the go. I can never be bothered wearing makeup on warm days, am I the only one? This belt came on my polka dot dress and as soon as I saw it was detachable I knew I had to wear it with this romper - they were made for each other!


I played touch football in the evening and then we had David's cousins stay over to watch the first 3D movie on our new tv. They're 11 and 14 and so much fun. We watched 'How To Train Your Dragon' and then played xbox kinect. I really loved the movie, if you haven't seen it you should. It's so cute and funny... right up there with Monsters Inc (which is my favourite animation film.) We're now on the hunt for new 3D movies to add to our collection, do you know of any must-sees?

The interview of eternal stench.

shirt: jeans west  | dress: kimchi blue | sandals: novo | necklace: portmans  | belt: spricy sugar

Least I looked cute. So the interview was held resting on a tv box in the middle of the store because "the desk and the back is really messy". I'm not too good with interviews let alone interviews where everyone else is watching me so naturally it went less than well... Now I know I'm not good at describing my good qualities in three words, or when put on the spot and asked if I want a position I'm not even interviewing for. The interview ended with "Is there anything else I should know about you?" and I answered "nope." They'll be in touch apparently :p Ah well, it's behind me now. Ultimately I didn't want to drive an hour a day to do a job I didn't love, which is why I hesitated when he said he needed someone to man the computer section...


I picked David up from the train station that evening so we could go late night shopping. We were there to pick up David's sunglasses and as luck would have it, that store was the ONLY one not open. Not our day. We decided to treat ourselves to fish & chips at Ciserello's for dinner - it's so cute and retro inside (there are seniors specials!) and they give you these little beepers so that you know when to collect your order. It was delicious :)


There's one in Freo as well so I'm crossing my fingers that we get one in Rockingham soon! I am loving this 30x30; it makes getting dressed in the morning so much easier and I'm trying new layers I never would have before :)

My boyfriend's back!

top: jeans west $10 | shorts: sunnygirl $30 | shoes: novo $50 | necklace: katies $7

I didn't do much yesterday. I didn't even get dressed until 2:30pm but this lil ol challenge here made me get my 'glad rags on and join the fun' :D I washed up, sorted David's clothes and then cruised to the airport to pick him up. Oh the charades of a modern house-girlfriend. We got home and pigged out on far too much McDonald's while watching the cricket, even though we knew the score. Yay Australia! I haven't even had a meltdown yet which tends to happen on the first day what with hormones and overwhelmgness so snaps for me. Maybe I should reward myself with a haircut? Like my cousin it impression? Yeah.

Today I have an interview at a jb hifi 20 mins up the road. Cross your fingers and your toes and whatever other appendages you have because mumma needs some new shoes! Well actually I don't, I only got a couple of pairs last week, one of which you can see is getting good use. They're from novo and daaaamn comfy, so if you've got a spare $50 I suggest you invest in some. They come in blue, yellow and white as well. Maybe get two. Anyway, I need a job. So be thinking good thoughts.


And yes, Jumpability is high making this a win of an outfit! Plus I look like I'm wild and playing air guitar so this pic had to be included, as did the next one. Little did I know I was about to jump on this poor weed-looking plant. I never liked them anyway :p


This is David. He's still alive. And he's home (and damn cute if I do say so myself). Have a great daaaaaaay! And if you're here because you found me on Kendi's 30x30 roll, say hi. I do not bite. Unless your name is Lindsay and you look like a hotdog today ;)

Count Me In!

psst, outfit one is already up, below.




The jeans are just in case the weather changes drastically; keeping March in mind :) I think it's gonna be easy for me because it's summer here... if the weather was consistent I could have easily just chosen 30 dresses, but alas! Dressember has passed and here we are. I chose my items based on what I thought I could remix and those that I couldn't bare to go the rest of the summer without. I haven't even worn that first romper yet, it's Lauren's and it's gonna be a beauty at the beach.

So there you have it, my first remixalot! If you're doing it too do share!
