Happy Halloween!

Here in Australia we don't really celebrate Halloween.. but it seems more and more people are dressing up and going trick or treating. So this year I thought to myself.. do I want James growing up being a part of Halloween festivities or not. 

The answer was clearly yes! I mean who doesn't love to get dressed up, eat lollies and watch scary movies? I would have loved to celebrate Halloween when I was a kid!

To start the Halloween tradition, I decided to carve my first pumpkin! It was fun (and so messy!), Rob bought the biggest one he could find (it's almost as big as James haha). I have to say.. I'm pretty impressed with my first efforts carving a pumpkin.. it looks even better when lit up at night. 

I also bought James a Scary Pumpkin costume. How could I resist!? He was, after-all, nicknamed Pumpky when he was growing inside my belly. I'm sure he'll kill me when he's older for dressing him up like this haha (I'll definitely be bringing this one out at his 21st!). 

I can't wait to see what we'll be doing (and wearing) next Halloween!

Do you celebrate Halloween? If so, what did you get up to this year?

I'm a bumble-bee!

..well I was on NYE anyway :)

A big group of us went to Jindabyne (of all places) for new years and it was so much fun! It was great to do something different. I just couldn't stand the thought of another new years eve spent in a hot, crowded club where some drunk would spill something all over me. It was great to dress up too! Costumes are always fun and I loved the costumes my best friend Emma picked up for us (she's a lady bug). It was a great start to the new year..

..and what a year it will be with our wedding in April (I can't believe I'll be a Mrs soon!) and trip to Bali and Thailand for 6 weeks after that! I can't wait! There's alot of prep work to do beforehand though and I'm not just talking about wedding arrangements, I'm talking about losing some weight, not a huge amount, just enough to feel confident in my wedding dress and bikini!

I made an attempt last year to lose weight by trying to eat healthy and exercise but I kept giving up and after 5 months I'd put ON weight! So now I'm on the dukan diet (which I'm sure you've all heard about as it's the latest fad diet) which basically means no carbs, sugar, alcohol or fruit until you get to your goal weight (did I mention you can only have veggies every second day?) then you can start bringing these foods back into your diet. Well let me tell you.. I've been on this diet for a week and it's SO BORING and I'm craving sugar like a crazy person BUT I have lost 2kgs already so it must be working. Lets just hope I can stick with it!

Anyways I think I've rambled on for far too long! I hope you're all having an amazing day and I'll talk to you soon.

Spread your wings and fly..

Hey lovelies,

I really wanted to do an outfit post for you on sat to show off the dress I rented (and you chose) for the engagement party I went to...

...but I was sick with the flu (worst timing!) and was running late, so I didn’t get a chance to take any pictures of my outfit :(

I loved the dress, and wore it with a blazer to the engagement party. I also had a Halloween party to go to after the engagement party (busy, busy) so I took the blazer off and put some wings on, in a half-assed attempt to be a “butterfly” lol.



Not sure why they had a Halloween party last sat when it’s Halloween this sat, but whatevs!

Now I need your help again. I've got 2 weddings coming up in November that are a week apart. Usually for weddings I'd rent a dress but not sure what to do in this case, so I need your advice -

Should I...

a) Rent 2 x dresses?
b) Rent 1 x dress, Buy 1 x cheap dress?
c) Buy 1 x nice (expensive) dress and wear it to both?



Today I wore -

♥ Miss shop white shirt
♥ Country road cardi
♥ Cue black pants
♥ Siren heels
♥ OPI What’s with the catitude? nailpolish
