Soo suckered into et another ASOS sale, grabbed this dress I’d been eyeing off for the bargainous price of $32 (or close to)
This print is horses on a carousel
Which vaguely reminded me of one of my favourite Florence Broadhurst prints
Yeh nothing alike but hey it’s horses!

What things do you enjoy when you’re feeling a bit “meh”?
New Girl
Such a funny adorable show, the more I see of Zooey D, the more I love, seriously I wish I was as cute and funny. I was in a crabby mood this morning and I though mm I’ll watch New Girl, it was the Penis episode, ahhh I giggled and grinned so much :D now I feel so much better, almost ready to take on the day.
Green Smoothies
Joined the green smoothie 21 day challenge initiated by the lovely Sabine of Echolife, it’s really fun mixing random stuff together and glugging it down in the pursuit of health and glowing skin :)
SHOPPING!
I got these StyleStalker flares on sale at ASOS for about $15 *eeep*
Dress and shorts both from Topshop
Tinted Lip Balms
I picked these up on evilbay, not available here in Au yet

What does a person’s *stuff* tell you, what does your *stuff* tell you…
Reflection, introspection, consumerism, who am I, or more importantly who do I want to become? I’m excited about the new year, it always fills me with a sense of hope…
Ran 10k run on sat morning, gorgeous weather, I am sloooooow though.
Watched My Idiot Brother, how adorable is Paul Rudd?!
Spent some much needed quality time with my Venus razor.
Went to Xmas street fair.
Bought some awesome resin bangles from a lovely girl, it was her second time holding a market stall, I think she has a facebook page though :)
Lusted after home made jams and sauces but they all had sugar in them, woe is meeeee.
Went to Harris Farm sniggered at long cucumbers, then decided to buy three ;)
Marveled at all the good looking healthy people who were in Harris farm.
Bought basil and grape tomatoes wished in my head for basil scented perfumes.
Bought Fuji apples to make Maya (tweetmayatweet) inspired snack
Had Fuji apples with almond butter and peanut butter amazing
Bought myself horse ring on ASOS for three reasons -
A: for my mini weight loss goal pressie YAY 55kgs, only 5 to go!
B: to remind me to keep running, keep fit/healthy
C: to remind me that I am my own person and I am free to do what I want
This morning we (miss 3, miss 5 and miss 11 weeks) tottered off to K-mart and Go-Lo and bought a heap of Christmas crap to make Christmas crowns…
I bought a mouldy avocado from Coles, and decided to eat it regardless, tasty.
I also bought this bread, because I wanted something toasty with low sugar…
It’s yummy, I could easily eat it all day, but I won’t.
Mail this week (from online shopping splurges) included…
My Silk Naturals order, I’ve already tried the Vitamin C serum and the Firming moisturiser and I love them both, full reviews to come later.
T2 jug, I was hoping the weather would stay hot but it has been crappy and rainy and now the kids are sick and I am getting sick too, woe is meeeeeeeee.
Tea I bought, I plan on drinking them all chilled, in my mind the fantasy also involves a deck chair and some serenity. Not likely.
I hope the weather improves in Sydney and I hope you all have a fab weekend x
