The Day Before The Big One

The count down has officially started!!!

In little over 24 hours our D will be walking down the isle. I'm soooo happy and excited for the cute couple. The day is going to be amazing, beautiful and between the people, dresses, booze and love... it is definitely going to be an event to remember.

Get ready, it's time to celebrate people!!!














On a side note, I must confess I'm kind of bricking it a little. I am wearing these super dooper, high shoes... one bad bridesmaid move and I will be flat on my face with footage instantly uploaded to You Tube.

Fingers crossed I make it through.... I don't want to be the one bridesmaid that falls, how unglamorous!!!!

Forever Heart Bon Jovi

If you know anything about D... you know she hearts Bon Jovi  (and by heart I mean the big fat, about to explode kind.)

This is a serious love which has spanned years and totally needs to be celebrated this week.

I'm sure hubby-to-be understands that if you marry D..... you marry Bon Jovi.














To be honest... how can anyone not love a bit of Bon Jovi? (purely 80's Jovi for me, but I'm kinda retro that way...)

Dune Buggies and Glitter Glam

You would have to have your head buried in the sand not to know that this Saturday D is getting hitched to a super cutie. There is a buzz in the air, the party is going to mega and OMG the DRESSES ( I'm officially in love with my bridesmaid one.)

Soooo in the lead up to the nuptials, I'm going to theme each day this week with something inspired by D and her ways.....

Today... it's this kick ass video from Vouge Italia. It's full of rocking dune buggies, glitter glam, and one tough, cool biatch. It's

D all over...

If D owned that zebra stripe top- leather harness- swimsuite combo.. I would soooo be borrowing it, (together with her dune buggy)

Adore.

The Week Before

Soz, I missed Monday.

Loads of stuff has been happening around Melbourne town but the most important thing of all is that this week is the lead up to D's wedding!!!!!

Soooo, exciting and it's time to get the celebrations started!!!




I'm sure you have all noticed D has had a leave of absence from Meat for a while.... promise she will be back in full form after the moon. (she better or I'm kicking ass!!)

It's......

We all know what day it is... so I'm not going to say it.

Just bring it... give it... do it... live it.

Enough said.
















Oh and if you can't do any of that... just have a dance.

Bugs, Butterflies & A Summer Lost

I know the pain in your inner core that comes from a shitty summer. Having grown up in Oz, I was always told we are spoilt when it comes to the sun. It was only when I moved to the UK did I really realise that a brilliant summer did not always follow a long winter. In fact in the 8 years I was there, I think I only had one proper summer (and by proper, I mean mostly sun... cos temperature is irrelevant at this point.)

Oh there was always talk of an Indian summer ( Mork, I'm thinking you here) and you always got excited that the good weather was starting if you had sun for more than 2 days in a row... but the reality is, there is a lot of grey in a UK Summer.

When I stumbled across these adorable images on I-D Online all this residual anxiety around an average summer surfaced... closely followed by a wave of empathy. These images are basically what you have to do in your mind when the sun has let you down. You just take the grey that is around you and superimpose as much colour and summer as you possibility can....

Awww, to be honest living in London was so amaze I actually found the grey charming..... well, most of the time anyway.

Is It Time For A Change?

I don't want to shock you all but maybe a hair colour change is on the cards. Eeeeeeeek, I know!!! 

After a misspent youth of chip-chop-changing to every colour under the sun,  I have had black hair for years and years now. I'm getting itchy feet and think I need a change. I want to go for an orangey tone... something like these deliciously, perfect locks from the latest Schön Magazine

I think I'm in love with the drama.... and I sooooo wanna, so should I?

Have no idea if I am brave enough for a such a dramatic colour change any more..... I hope I am, cos it's kind of exciting just thinking about it.
