Aussie Curves: Blue Lady Antebellum

Hello Lovely ones! 

This week marks the end of my school holidays :'( so its back to work for me tomorrow. 
I took an 8am flight out of Sydney to Melbourne and caught the 10:30am flight all the way back to Mildura. So I'm sad to be leaving all my Sydney-siders for another 10 weeks. 

My 2 weeks were jammed packed with outings and catch-ups and lunches and dinners so I guess it will be good to get back into my normal routines and my controlled cupboards ;)

Anyways this weeks challenge is Blue and I planned to wear a gorgeous vintage blue pussy bow dress to my friends wedding but the weather was warmer than I anticipated and I didn't want to be melting at my friends wedding so I didn't wear the dress. I will have to save it for another occasion I guess.

On a brighter note I finally made it to one of my opshops. I didn't get to scour them all as I planned but I made it to my favourites Mickey and Mallory and the local Salvation Army store. I found this pretty blue blazer at the Salvos and it was only $3.50! I wore it with another opshop favourite of mine; this pink and brown rose blouse. This ensemble is comfortable and I love how blazers can transform and smarten up any basic outfit. I wore my converse chucks because I was catching public transport into the city to watch one of my most favourite bands at the moment and I just didn't feel like donning a pair of wedges or sandals. I mean any excuse to wear a pair of chicks. I also thought of Closet Confession's October Blaze challenge HERE. So two birds with one stone. Gotta be happy with that right! 

Also October marks the start of Buy Nothing New Month. So before you make a purchase why not take the time to consider if the item is an essential or whether you could swap, borrow or buy it second hand. If you want to participate you can actually win a monetary prize so all the more reason to buy nothing new this October. It's only 4 short weeks and a challenge worth taking.

Those who know me are aware of my love for music and a special place in my heart is reserved for country music. Raised up on it because my Uncle would play all the old classics on all our road trips. Soooo I nearly passed out in class when I saw that Lady Antebellum had tickets on sale. I had no idea they were even coming to Australia. Thank goodness for credit cards because I managed to get 2 tickets to the 3rd and final show of their Own The Night World Tour.

The concert was sooooooo very good! Lady Antebellum were so much fun with loads of audience interaction. They even sang American Honey acoustically. I was just saying to my sister a few months ago "I'd die if I got to see them live" seriously though I woke up the next three days hearing their songs replay in my head. Definitely the highlight of my school holidays. Planning to go see Boyz to Men in November and the Made in the 90's concert this coming December. Sooooo excited to see Colour Me Bad. How about you guys? Any concerts or upcoming gigs you are looking forward to?




Big Love,

Dinner with the girls

I'm in love with this floral blazer and it reminded me of all the cool floral shit from the 90's (hence my lipstick  colour too). I found this at one of my local opshops and I can finally wear it since the weather is warming up here :)












 Dinner and dancing with the ladies at Chilli Jam in Parramatta.

Fun times with my lovely ones.

School Holidays pt. 1

Hello my lovely ones,

How are you all? I had a quick scroll through my blog and realised all my posts have been Aussie Curves submissions. While I love participating in it I, I realised I haven't shared any of my fun times with you guys lately and really......that's not good enough because I'm all about fun times :)

So these school holidays I have been REEEEEALLLY busy catching up with friends and family. I'm not complaining because I love moving around...If you have some idea of NSW geography I will share my travels with you all.

I started off in Nowra, headed up to Sydney, Newcastle, Raymond Terrace, Williamstown, Cooranbong, Tuggerah, Sydney, Campbelltown, Mt. Druitt, Nowra, Sydney, Opera House, Penrith, Blacktown and back down to Nowra. PHEW! I'm tried just trying to remember it all.

So my friends I wanted to share some pictures with you all before they get stored in the "to-post" file and that is long enough already (I have some lovely photos from my trip to Samoa, family reunion photos from New Zealand in April, a cousin's grad party, and another cousins 21st in Qld to share).











Congratulations to my beautiful cousin Hermione. She has officially become and Educator <3
