Outfit inspiration...

Completely and utterly obsessed with maxi skirts at the moment... Think they are perfect for the not-quite-summer Melbourne is in the middle of at the moment... Picked up a stunning peach one from "my" op-shop yesterday for a mere $12... Washed it carefully today and am already planning outfits in my mind...

Love...

My latest asos.com HAUL!

Ping!

Downloading my new emails for the day... Scroll, scroll...Nothing of note, until FREE DELIVERY pops out at me!

Quickly reading the email, I found out that asos.com were offering FREE delivery to Australia till midnight! I thought this was too good to pass up, so I quickly jumped onto their site.

After over an hour of browsing, and many many items in my cart, I decided on the following:

Caramel Cat's Eye Sunglasses

Cream Sheer Slip Dress

Plain oversized shirt - but in a brighter coral-y colour...

Rose Gold Retro Style Oversized Watch

Girlie Vest Maxi Dress in Mink

What I Am...

Wearing:

My fabulous new green and grey printed "staple " cape... white supre single... taupe-y runched country road skirt...no shoes...

Thinking:

About whether or not to take my makeup off before I go to bed... That I really really feel like a cup of tea and some chocolate but really should go and take my makeup off and go to bed...

Wishing:

Hmmm, not sure...

Hoping:

That I have a wonderful sleep in tomorrow...

Feeling:

Lovely.

I attended Fashion Journal's 100th Issue Birthday Party today, as a plus-one of the wonderful Miss S, and had a great time! Free vodka cocktails, ice-cream and getting to meet some of my Twitter "friends", plus getting dressed up, made for a fun mid-week adventure!

Looking forward to:

Seeing one of my bestest friends tomorrow and her adorable little boy as well as working at the Fleur Wood Warehouse Sale on Friday!

(see my post below for details...)

Lusting over:

Every maxi skirt I come across, as well as flat ankle boots for summer.

Am very very happy to already own a few of both, but i'm sure it won't stop there...!!

Quotes...

"I believe in pink. I believe that laughing is the best calorie burner. I believe in kissing, kissing a lot. I believe in being strong when everything seems to be going wrong. I believe that happy girls are the prettiest girls. I believe that tomorrow is another day and I believe in miracles."

— Audrey Hepburn

"I believe that everything happens for a reason. People change so that you can learn to let go, things go wrong so that you appreciate them when they're right, you believe lies so you eventually learn to trust no one but yourself, and sometimes good things fall apart so better things can fall together."

— Marilyn Monroe

The Last Time I...

So I "borrowed" this idea from Mia over at Mamamia - she asked the oh-so-wonderful Zoe Foster these questions in a video chat...

So here goes...

Was jealous:

I would really like to say I'm not usually a jealous person, but maybe hearing about a friends already-paid-off holiday for March next year turned me a lil green...

Cried:

Watching "Life As We Know It" at the cinemas with my mum two weeks ago...I think... If so, that is a lonnng time for me between tears!

Was Drunk:

Saturday night. Definitely.

Over Spent:

Today. Bought a beautiful ring from Etsy. Even though it was only $25, I currently have a negative monetary figure against my name and really shouldn't be buying ANYTHING!

Was Inspired:

As corny as it sounds, ever since I have left my 9-to-5 office job to search for my dream job, every day I am inspired. So many articles seem to jump out at me, people's success stories leave me smiling instead of frowning, everything has a hidden meaning....I love it!

Watched the sunrise:

I use to start work at 7am, so quite often the sun would be rising as I got ready for or was leaving for the day. So in answer, probably not for a long time!

As I type this, I vow to watch the sunrise at least twice before the end of the year...

Made a huge mistake or did something I regret:

Nothing really springs to mind here. I think all my decisions in the last 2 years or so have been good ones, and probably the only things I regret have to do with shopping and spending too much!

Listened to my gut:

The day I decided to leave my job without having another one to go to.

Best decision ever!

Fell in love:

Does a shopping purchase count? lol...If so , then my beautiful Etsy ring I purchased today as well as the 2 gorgeous Staple the Label capes I purchased last week... Most definitely love!

If shopping purchases don't count, then does "falling in love" with new girlfriends?

Have made some truly truly amazing friendships in the last 10 months or so, these lovely ladies make me smile each and every day...

And if they don't count, then the last ( and only...) time I have fallen in love was with my beautiful man, 5 and a half years ago...

Cue "awwwww"...!!
