be afraid

We settle on our new house tomorrow, and did our pre-settlement inspection today. I'm so excited! This is probably why I am feeling brave enough to post this psycho pic... ;)

Obviously, Halloween isn't really a thing here in Australia. But I had this shirt, so it seemed like a good day to wear it!

We move on Friday and I just can't wait.

feeling corporate

 Blogger was being stubborn on Friday and Saturday, but this is what I wore on Friday. It's a sneaky dress that looks like a blouse tucked into a skirt, but without the risk of it untucking itself.

Dress - Target
Wedges - FSW





 We move on Friday, so things might be a little inconsistent for a while.

overcast

So, this whole moving business is a massive pain in the proverbial! I have done so much cleaning etc in the last month that I'm not functioning on all levels anymore. I'm back at work, and have been oufitted as usual, but keep forgetting to photograph because I get home and change before I remember!

I'm so exhausted! We move in 8 days and I can't wait.

who the fudge is Alice?

I guess I got dressed this morning still feeling a bit Alice in Wonderland!

Our house went on the market today and is open tomorrow - seriously freaky stuff! At least it allows for nice neat backdrops!

I'll be white with you

It was pretty warm today - 27C! It seemed like a good day for white, but I caught myself in the mirror while leaving this morning and wondered briefly if I looked like a wedding cake!

I think I look rather like Alice in Wonderland, what with the bunnies and all!

blue as blue can be


Nothing new today! Our house was photographed this morning for sales material, which meant cleaning 'til 12.30 or so, and then climbing out of bed at 6am to start again... and then tripping off to work.
I was surprisingly ok today despite the lack of sleep!

Bow T-shirt - Jeanswest
Shoes - Barkins

If I suddenly drop off the face of the earth for a week or two it's because the insanity of moving has meant I'm wearing nothing worth documenting!

acorns again

This was yesterday. And, yes, you've seen this exact outfit before.

All this cleaning is taking its toll!

grey by day

Back to work today!
I'm really liking the new availability of feather-weight tees. I like layering, and done right they look so floaty and chic. I'm not sure about this one. I love the colour and the feather/bird lazering, but it is SO static-y! There's only so much exstatic a girl can use!



I like how the top feels, but after looking at the pics I'm not sure I like how it looks.

Cardigan - Cotton On
Feather tee - Portmans
Purple singlet - Supre (yes, I know)
Jeans - Just Jeans
Boots - FSW

I don't know if there is a word beyond exhausted, but that's where I am.

play by play

So, the hiatus is not because I have lost interest! I've been on "holiday" for two weeks, and this entire time has been spent scrubbing walls, painting, spot-treating carpet, gardening and generally being a labourer. Today was genuinely the first time since my sushi dinner last week when I got to shed my uniform of grubby tracksuits, shorts and hoodies - totally not worth documenting! It's depressing when the most fun you get is changing out of your painting gear into your running gear!




Anyway, I went to see a (very odd) play with a friend this afternoon. 
Yes, you've seen this one before! But this is the first time my home has been presentable enough to feature properly in a shoot!

It was a weird play, but a joy to leave my prison house!

dinner date

  Lovely anniversary dinner - sushi and plum wine!


Dress - Portmans
Shoes - Robert Robert (yes, those are hearts on the toes)
Necklace - mikaela


Pardon the poorly lit shoes - the colour is far more accurate in the other pics, but this one shows the detail better.
Swishy skirts are very pleasing :)

anniversaire!

Yesterday was my second wedding anniversary with my lovely husband. I'm on a little two-week break from work, and will spend most of the time readying our house for sale. However, I got to play hooky for a little while yesterday and duck out for a coffee with a friend.
It was gorgeous and sunny and I was nearly deceived, but it was only 17C after all, so I needed a warm jacket!

Jacket - knit by me, this pattern

I might get to dress up for dinner soon! The husband just had his wisdom teeth out, so last night he wasn't quite up for a nice dinner.
