Retail Therapy

I had a quick little visit to the shops tonight - had to get out of the house. First I whipped into Country Road - they have lovely bright colours arriving at the moment. I purchased a pair of charcoal linen shorts and a bright blue breezy blouse - a little see through so I will wear a white singlet with this.

Then I cruised into Oroton - now when I was a wee lass at highschool I love loved Oroton. Over the years I have drifted away but tonight I could have bought some earrings/sunglasses and a bag. Anyway I did not make any Oroton purchases BUT I did go to Kikki K next and bought the below bag for a whole 14.95. I have already put all the boys swimming gear in the bag.

Next I went to T2 and bought this teapot which is perfect for 2 cups. I also purchased some Vanilla Sencha tea which I am having now. Love shopping - love shopping XXOO


Also - last week I bought some bejewelled insect thongs from Nine West for $50.00 - great Summer shoe but need to get my toes done XX P.S having probs with uploading pics - will do later

Spring in the air!

Spring is in the air - however Brisbane is having a cold snap today. Life is coasting along. Last term of school is nearly upon us. Both my boys had birthdays last month and today I got my first hair cut and colour in a year.

Normally I have a few blonde foils in a creamy blonde colour. I did not go back to my usual hairdresser and due to the short lenghts of my hair the hairdresser suggested an allover blonde. Two hundred and seventy dollars later (product included) I am now a very strawberry blonde - very gold. I cried when I left the hairdresser but promptly pulled myself together when I thought of having no hair again. Anyway on my next trip to the hairdresser I will be armed with pictures of the colour I want.

I have been asked to speak at a Breast Cancer cocktail party in October in front of 400 people. I am not sure if I can do this at the moment - I will have a think about it. I am not a huge fan of public speaking and emotions are still raw so maybe next year.

I have taken delivery of a few lovely houehold antiques and bits and pieces that I will post pics of shortly. I have been searching ebay for some fabric to cover a chaise lounge and I have found a lovely Schumacher fabric that I have am bidding on. Looking forward to the weekend XO
