Work Outfit Challenge - Day 97.

I've had a busy morning. Started with a 6am body pump class, then took Rocky for a walk, had a shower, straightened my hair and then browned meat and onions for a slow cooked beef stew we'll be munching on tonight. I only just made it to work on time!

I nearly braved bare legs this morning but being a whole 7 degrees at the moment I'm glad I wore my new knee highs. I actually bought these socks because I saw a chick wearing a cute black skirt with knee high socks/stockings and ballet flats and it looked fabulous. I haven't been brave enough to do it - I'm just not sure it would suit me.

 
Wearing: dress - One Teaspoon (eBay), top - Supre, jacket and belt - vintage, shoes - Siren

Geez, I may just have to name this silly face week. Have a laugh on my account!

  

And just for some fun, here are some photos of my rock dog and his older cousin (our family dog) the other night. How super cute!

 

Think i might paint my nails this weekend ... and maybe search for some treasures.

What are you planning?

Treasures from the past in a house from the past … moving towards the future

To say the boy and I have differing opinions on home furnishings is a slight understatement. We live in a 1970’s era house which we have been slowly modernising.
for example

Lounge Room Before and After

Kitchen Before and After

I am constantly visiting op shops and garage sales and see things that I think are cool to hang, or display but know if I take them home that the boy will turn his nose up at my not-so-modern homewares.
I have managed to sneak a couple of my treasures in and here are some of my favourite pieces.
This Asian hut/shack lamp I picked up at a Garage Sale for $5. It gets so many comments. I love it and the boy thinks it’s pretty cool too.
This cool dude was picked up at a garage sale for $10.00. I bought his lady friend at my favourite twice-yearly church sale for $1.00.
These are just a few of the cool prints I’ve picked up. I love big eye prints but unfortunately the boy doesn’t think they are so great. Boo!
Got this vintage circus clown ages ago for around $2.00 and Curtis Stone and Gordon Ramsay Cookbooks for $4 each.

The KEY to successful bargain hunting is to be persistent. DO NOT get discouraged if you find nothing! I spent 5 hours garage sale hopping on Saturday and only came away with a pair of earrings and a Tupperware container and yet my urge to do it all again next weekend is unwavering.

Oh how i love a bargain.

Cannot wait for Sex and the City 2 – due out in 2 weeks!!!

Did the RSPCA million paws walk on Sunday. Here are some pics of the other man in my life.

as always would love to hear any comments!
