Jimmy I Choo Choo Choose you!






















Some very belated pictures from my 3 year anni with the boy last month =)

Wore my Jimmy Choos finally! It was so painful after a while im so glad i picked the hotel that was literally arcoss the street from the resturuant for us to stay at. It was also the first time wearing out the beautiful gold ring the boy got for me =)

The dress is by H&M and actually belongs to my sister. She bought it for her farewell dinner in september before she left for london however ended up wearing another dress instead so she left me this dress brand new and unworn! I loved the drama of the dress so thought it would be prefect as my anniversary dress.

Was a beautiful night =)

Me so Arty!







Wheee finally some pics of my YSL lapis arty ring! I got the blue and my friend got the pink =)

Sooo addictive, I want to get more now!!

Laced with Stripes


















Wore my new Motel nautical skirt today. It is so pretty and fun!

I was worried that i was a bit too casual for work even though it's Friday, however one on of senior co-workers said i looked really cute today, and i always look up to how fashionable she is so it was definitely a nice compliment! =)

Wheee finally it's the weekend! Argh but boy problems to sort out this weekend. Bloody boys!

Peachy Cuts










Wasn't feeling very inspired so just threw together the above outfit for work. Very much over work this week, even though it's only a four day week.

Though i did have a small pick me up today when a sweet girl working at the chemist, whilst helping me look for the tissue boxes (which were stored OUTSIDE so when i grabbed three boxes i felt like i was some kinda thief before i quickly hurried back in to pay) asked where i got my top from, i had a mini brain freeze and all i could say was "ummm i got it online". She was like oh okay it's just a very cute top! Haha i dont think i was very helpful. And if anyone is interested i got it online from forever 21 =)

Ruffles & Twists












Yet another ASOS newbie! I love this top from ASOS, the ruffles are so pretty and much more dramatic then i had anticipated from the online pics/video! However i think it is still appropriate enough for work whilst still having a fun ruffly look. The only thing i was disappointed in was the colour was a lot duller then i had thought it would be, it was a much prettier and lighter shade online!

The outfit was completed with my trusty black witchery skirt. I love this skirt because of the front twisty detailing, it really gives the basic black skirt such a femimine feel and look. Plus it is surprisingly super slimming so a major bonus!






In other news i have made two new committments to myself this year, and yes yes i know it's not even NYE yet! But both items are really important to me and instead of wallowing in self pity, which i have to admit i have been doing, i am taking proactive steps to do something about it! Even if it doesnt work out at least i feel like i am trying instead of just whinging and bitching that my life is shit blah blah. That only feels good for so long and after a while even i am starting to get sick of myself!
So the two things are:

1) Get a new job (in an area i actually want to develop a career for myself in!)

2) Loose weight (and along the way stop comparing myself to my six 6 friends and bitching and being paranoid my bf is comparing me to all my teeny stick friends!)

Hopefully i make some progress before the year ends!

Flower me up!






This is such a pretty dress but im reluctant to wear it again as it made my hips look HUGE! It was just so unflattering from the front, however from the side it was so slimming. Wierd! But i loved how feminine and flowy this dress was, especially as i walked.

I also took some snaps without the lights and i think the print looked a lot softer and less garish.






This dress is of course another ASOS buy!

Argh with the free shipping and doscount codes i have made two orders this weekend and about to do a third tonight! And i only got my huge as xmas haul from there less then 2 weeks ago! FOUR ASOS orders this month!!

Twisted Grey Silk









I love this Veronika Maine skirt. The silk is so soft and luxurious in real life. Of course the fact that i got it for 70% plus an extra 10% off because of a minor stain (that is hidden within the folds of the skirt anyways) only makes this skirt a more precious find.

Feeling quite down today. It's funny how as you get older you think more opportunities would arise for you, especially when you see everyone else around you moving forward. Im feeling quite stuck at the moment, like i have no real purpose. This is of course due to the fact that every job i apply for i keep getting rejected for, i took a 6 month break to work on building up my level and length of experience, but it seems that hasn't done much good. It doesn't help that my boyfriend, who works in the same organisation as me, seems to get through to the interviews for all the jobs he has selectively picked. Also all my friends within the last month have gotten new jobs. I still have the "best" job out of all my friends in terms of salary, but other then that i haven't moved a step forward since i graduated last year. I am happy for my friends and bf but i can't help but feel a bit bitter too. I am a tertiary educated self motivated person who has gotten good feedback from all my past jobs in this company, and yet i can't seem to find myself a goddam decent new job within the last year, even within the same organisaton.


I know it is just a job, and i already have an ok job that at least pays well for a recent graduate, but the rejections are really make me doubt myself and my ability to contribute to the workforce.


Sorry for the above self pitying rant, but i think this little blog has been quite good to me in terms of allowing me the freedom to show my loves (clothes and designer accessories) and also the chance to vent my rages and sadness into the vast world of the internet.

I really hate feeling this depressing sadness and gloom, i wish something would just go in my favour to show im not completely useless and that the world just hates me in general.

Shirted & Belted









Wore my new ASOS wrap shirtdress thingamajiggy. It looks amazing on as it actually gives me a defined waist that looks slim from certain angles. The dress certainly wraps itself in all the right places, however it is SO tight around the arms. I can not literally raise my arms above shoulder length with having to do some aerobic adjustments to my shoulders. Also when i sit down the wrap opens wide and its like hello there! So definitely need to wear a slip or bandage skirt under the dress next time! However despite all its discomfort, the dress really does stroke my vanity so i think i will wear it again anyways! lol



Also threw on my Dior necklace for a bit of sparkle so that i didn't look so black and dull.

Hope Mondayitis wasn't so bad for everyone today!

Short & Sweet



















Wheee my first pair of shorts in like at least 4 years!! I really feel self conscious in shorts as my legs are really short and stumpy. Im a dress and skirts girl through and through but i decided i needed to have at least ONE pair of shorts for this summer. I got these awesome shorts from Polly Fashion, they have an online store and a store that just opened in the new pitt st westfields. I think i may have cheated a little as the majority of comments i have gotten is "oh what a pretty SKIRT". Lol ahhh well good enough. The shorts are super comfy and pretty, a perfect combo for the upcoming summer heat.

Plus im loving my neck jewel bib necklace! Have been looking for one for agesss, and nothing either quite fit my description or was overpriced. Found this for ONLY 10 DOLLARS at some random little asian store selling clothes and shoes in this quiet arcade. I LOVE IT!

Saw the social network last night, it was great! Definitely reccomend it. However i read a comment from Mark Zuckerberg saying that it was all pretty much fictional as he's had the same girlfriend before facebook and the only thing the movie got right was his clothes. lol. So of course straight after the movie i did some googling and it seems that is the case. The movie makes him look a lot more socially wierd then i think he is in real life, but it sure makes for a good film!

Fly me away







Another gorgeous summery top and once again no stockings! It seems the warm weather of spring and summer is finally here.

Im actually not a fan of summer, in fact i loathe it! I hate the sweat and sticky uncomfortable feeling you just cant shake of in summer, im a winter girl through and through. However i do like summer for the fact that it allows me to wear all my pretty fluttery tops without cardis and jackets layered on top of it hiding away its prettiness!

Argh my room looks like a homeless shelter in the background! I really do need to clean my room, but it always gets messy again anyways so i give into the attitude of why bother? Haha my bf is scared to ever move in with me cos he cant stand my "willingness" to live in such mess!

Also im running out of room in my closet! I love to hang all my pretties but theres hardly any damn hanging space left. Im going to have to start putting some stuff away into drawers, but i cant pick which one of my pretties to shove away into the obvilion of dark drawers?? Which reminds me i need to do a post of my wardrobe one day, i absolutely love those kind of posts from other blogs!

Ahoy my stripey!









I love my new stripey top, its so summery and pretty!

I walked into Cue and saw heaps of tops in the same style as this, however instead of paying $100+ i got this top for about $30ish off ASOS and the material is just as good as cue if not better!

And for the first time in a i believe half a year or more im not wearing stockings anymore with my outfits! It makes me feel kinda naked lol, but it does feel a lot lighter too =)
