Winner Winner Chicken Dinner

This morning I received an email in my inbox with the subject 'winner winner chicken dinner'... immediate thought - WTF and then, oh it must be spam.

But no, it was not spam. It was telling me I'd won a giveaway on the broke ass bride - a wedding stationery pack from Esty seller BonMoment!

My prize includes save-the-date postcards, 5X7 wedding invites, 50 matching envelopes, RSVP postcards, menu cards, and wedding programs and we can pick the design.

I think our (my) pick will be the Spicy Papel Picado set although the Classy Mustache Set would look cute in a different colour.

the bonus is you can choose from a large range of colours too!

YAY! The only slight issue we have is that we'd discussed using a photo from the e-shoot on our invitations. I wonder if our prize would stretch that far to incorporate a photo because we will not need the save-the-dates. Even if it doesn't how awesome! I'm rapt!

Work Outfit Challenge - Day 67 with some B.O

Oh no ... I have B.O. today. Stinky, stinky B.O.

Just kidding friends. B.O - BLUSH OVERLOAD. Sometimes I go a little crazy with my friend Mr Blusher. And so do some of my friends.

Exhibit A

lol. Just a bit of fun for a Saturday afternoon in outback Queensland quite a few years ago now.

Exhibit B

Sorry girls I just had to do it - a perfect example of B.O.

Anyway, now that I've horrified you with these photos I'll show you today's B.O.

 
I got this Wish dress at Myer at 75% off the marked price. Man I hang out for that time of year when the signs change over from 50% off to 75% off. JOY! It's a silk dress that says dry clean only but I'm not going to get a dress dry cleaned when it cost less than it would to get it dry cleaned. The issue is that it was sitting in the Myer bag crinkled up and was really creased. I washed it on the hand wash cycle in the washing machine and tried to hand iron it but failed a little. Oh well, it's still cute with its wrinkles and all.

Wearing: dress - Wish, sandals - pulp (op shop), waist tie/belt - from another dress

Super, super excited about mum and my FAVOURITE church sale which is on tomorrow. Without a doubt I'll have some awesome treasures to share with you next week.

Stay safe and party on this weekend.

Don't forget to enter my giveaway and tell all your blog friends!

Giveaway Time

Hey peeps.

I've decided to do a giveaway NOT because I want a gazillion new followers but BECAUSE I bought something that is super cute and does not fit.

The prize??

The ASOS double finger cross ring in SILVER (pictured below in gold)

It is a size small and would suit those of you with non-podgy type fingers.

All you have to do is be a follower (thank you to my lovely 35 followers at present) and leave a comment on this post. Oh and tell your friends!

I'll draw the winner next Thursday about this time ... a nice little easter surprise for someone!

I urge you to only become a follower if you actually like what you see and read ... not just for the sake of winning a giveaway. I love getting new followers and even love comments more so get a reading! I do daily outfit posts, stuff related to weddings (mine is in November), op shop and garage sale finds and some other random shiz-niz as I see fit.

Work Outfit Challenge - Day 66 - I love bows.

What a beautiful Thursday. I started the day off with a 6am RPM (spin) class which really gets the heart rate pumping but boy, it's getting harder and harder to get up when the alarm goes off! Ignore the freshly washed frizz-wa hair.

Remember to go check out my column over at finda which should be up sometime today.

Wearing: dress - Forcast, tights - Ambra, shoes - Novo via op shop, Accessories - Diva & Lovisa.

Peace out Homies. Keep your eyes peeled for a giveaway very soon!

Work Outfit Challenge - Day 65.

Hey peeps! Happy hump day. Did you read the translation from our feature on the German blog I wrote about yesterday? Man, I read it to the boy on our way to trivia at the pub last night and had tears rolling down my face. He wasn't that amused - what he was more amused at is that he sat through an entire green light because he was so engrossed in my amazing and enthusiastic reading skills.

There was a pretty funny comment too ...

Something different. The pictures with the duck pleased me best. The vintage style is really something. Especially the last with the light beautifully romantic.

I didn't see a duck ... did you?          
Wearing: dress - vintage, flats - Siren.

Gotta run ... have got to prepare our monthly morning tea. YUM!

Guten Tag for Work Outfit Challenge - Day 64.

I guess you're wondering why I'm greeting you in German on this rather late Tuesday post. Well, I found out earlier today that our e-shoot was featured on a German blog! The story got a little lost in translation but how exciting that we are truly GLOBAL!

Toowoomba, the garden city in southern Queensland is among one of the cleanest and most peaceful places in Australia. This is the home of Darren from Metro Ck Photography , who is known for its beautiful vintage styled photo series.

S as well as today's engagement session from Peta and the patient experience with a vintage antique rarities, as they are known only from museums. Peta parents avid collector of old things and the collection ranges from antique furniture, to radios from the 50s, old bikes out of old collector cars, like the restored images from the FJ Holden.

The arrangement of the in-house collectors collection makes this vintage photo shoot at an incredible bracing experience. The perfection is achieved by the beautiful decoration of Vera and Rose and it really lacks for nothing. Even a short trip by plane (mind you a collector's item from the second world war) is a real highlight.

But the most romantic part of the day was Pat's marriage proposal. Between cycling and a romantic picnic on the way, her Peta Pat jumped at the neck, which is clearly happy to be interpreted as a YES.

And how cute is yes, because of your dog, which held the two at every turn? Formalwear and tie he already fits like a glove at this early wedding party.Simply wonderful!

My year of studying German in grade 8 clearly did not help in deciphering the text in this blog post. Anyway, danke Patricia and Alexander of Hochzeitswahn (NO idea what this means)

I had a meeting to attend to attend with various faculty staff so I dressed a little more formal than normal as was a poet and didn't know it.

Wearing: top - Basque (op shop), pants - Banana Republic (purchased in the USA), shoes - Diana Ferrari (Myer), sunnies - Cassette Society
