Weekend ramblings

This weekend has gone by so fast its hard to believe that I've even had a weekend!!

Firstly on Friday night after work I had a Client Christmas party to go to for my workplace. It was great to end the working week with a few wines in a relaxed BBQ environment!

(Me in the car on the way to the party - perfect selfie op lol!)

On Saturday I worked and it was SOOO hot! After the last two big weeks that I have had, I crawled into my bed after work for an arvo nap! That night I had another Christmas party to go to (this time it was my Bf's work party) which meant more drinking, dancing and food!

I feel like ever since our holiday on the houseboat last week in SA all we have done is eat and drink alcohol! I am just about ready to go on an alcohol detox, seriously! (A terrible time to try and detox just before Christmas though right??)

Today was my relax day. I kicked off my shoes, got in my swimmers and lazed by our pool. It was another scorcher today so sitting in the pool was very fitting. We had prawns for lunch and relaxed the afternoon away.

Before the sun went down I managed to convince my Bf to help me put up some Christmas lights on our house (I am a very Christmas-y person so I love all of this stuff!) It was hot, but being the amazing Bf that he is, he climbed up onto the hot tin roof and strung the lights from one end to the other! (Thanks babe!)

Tonight I skyped my little sister and we chatted for a good hour or so. I love Skype! Best.Invention.Ever! Whilst chatting I remembered that I have been meaning to download Michael Buble's Christmas album. I love it! It's playing as I type. Ah, he has a gorgeous voice doesn't he?!

That about wraps up my weekend, how was your weekend? Ready for another working week??

Lets do it! ;)

Blog love: Harper & Harley

Sometimes I find some spare time to cruise around the Internet and read up on cool stuff or find an awesome new blog that I love.

This week I found a couple of new blogs (all are completely different and I love them for totally different reasons!)

The one that has stuck in my mind the most this week is a fashion/style blog that maybe some of you have already heard of or are subscribed to!

It's called Harper & Harley and I am addicted to it. For starters this chick has got ah-mazing style! (and probably a decent wage to support her impeccable taste in fashion!)

Here are some snaps of her featured on her blog:

Amaze-balls sunnies anyone? I want these soooooo bad!

Check her out! She's only 23 and based in Sydney so its nice to keep our blog love local! :) I'm off to drool over more of her amazing outfits and cry at how low my bank account is knowing I cant afford any of this stuff! (LOL)

Tony Bianco Iphone app!!

As if I needed another excuse to shop for Tony Bianco shoes and bags, they have an Iphone app out now!! OMG!

I'm not sure how long the app has been around but I only discovered it late last night when I also found out that they were having a 20% off everything sale online (sadly it ended at midnight and I didnt get any purchases).

I'm loving all of these shopping apps, even though it makes it that much harder to resist shopping, it does really make life easier for quick shopping on the go!

Bought it! Push bike love... found one finally!

You might remember that I was talking about buying a new push bike in my post back here and I mentioned a 'Giant' beach cruising looking bike that I had been lusting over since early January.

Well it turns out that they dont make that particular bike anymore, but thats OK cause I've found a better one! AND its ordered and heading my way before Christmas! *Jumps with excitement*

I was cruising through Facebook and found a link to Reid Cycles and saw a picture of the EXACT style of bike that I have been searching for. It was love at first sight. I quickly jumped online and located my dream pushy.

Here it is:

It's this exact colour (it also comes in watermelon - (which I was tossing up between), lavender, red, white, yellow and blue)! The only thing I couldnt get was the white wire around the basket (something about being on further order, blah blah so I settled for black but thats OK. Its no big deal!)

I am so excited for it to show up!!! I can see myself now cruising to town with my groceries in the front! Haha

I am even more happy about the price! It was a good $200 cheaper then the last bike I was looking for, PLUS a 10% discount, its like hitting the jackpot!

The guy that I spoke to on the phone (Allan was his name) was so helpful and funny! He made ordering it so easy and quick. I love a helpful salesperson.

Another step closer to living a healthier life with this new addition. Check out Reid Cycles here.

Colours of Summer: Country Road

When we were in Adelaide last week (I love this city btw! It was my first time as an adult in the city and the shopping, food and lifestyle was fantastic!!!) I got to do a spot of shopping (mostly Christmas shopping and a bit of window shopping (still a broke uni student *sad face*).

I couldn't help but notice the gorgeous summer colours in fashion right now! I am addicted to the bright and summery feel that every fashion outlet seems to have in stock.

I have a subscription to Country Road via email and often see what gorgeous stuff they have on offer (which is a blessing and a curse most days!) and I quickly popped into their Rundle Street store and got a glance at their stock in the flesh!

I am LOVING the colours!

Here are my picks:

 

 

I love this colourful combo! Those linen/cotton blend shorts are so cute and come in a heap of different colours!!

 

 

 

I can't get enough of "jelly shoes"!! I purchased a blue pair last summer when I was in the Greek Islands and love them! I bought a pair of these Country Road ones in black this year! The gold buckle and detail on top make them look a little more dressy!

I also cant go past the 'fedora' styled hat this summer! I didn't actually see this hat in store and wish I had because I love it! Its cool to be sun smart people! :)

 

 

 

 

I love a cute, breezy singlet that can be dressed up and down. This one also comes in yellow! I love this orange colour teamed with the sky/aqua colour - I'm really digging this colour right now!

 

Who doesn't love a fluro bight beach towel?! These towels are gorgeous and thick and come in heaps of different patterns! You wouldn't miss me at the beach with this doozy!

You can find all of these products online here. Shop up people! :)
