My day in Pictures

Today I started off with a bit of early morning early bird Christmas shopping at the Freo markets and then headed off to a day spa for some much needed mid morning relaxation. Next stop was the Beaufort Street Festival. Needless to say I headed straight for the Huge Vintage Sale.

Oh. My. Gosh.

I picked up three lovely dresses, two for m sister and one for me ofcourse. Can't wait to wear it!

My absolute favorite treat for the day was the Laundromat. The creative folks from Flexhaus transformed an ordinary old laundromat into the Kingdom of Lost Socks. Their whimsical story tells the tale of how lost socks and washing machines come alive and party the night away... It does make me feel a bit better to think that all my lost socks are out there somewhere making friends with other lost socks and  partying up a storm every night instead of actually just being lost... under my bed... or in a corner of my room somewhere.

The laundromat was alive, not lifeless and glum,

The machines know how to work,

But also have FUN!

I hope you had a fun weekend too.

On the Line

I am househunting. And by househunting I mean searching on all my favourite blogs and sites for all the lovely things that I am going to buy for my new adorable litlle house instead of searching for the actual house. 

So I might end up with all sorts of lovely bits and pieces and nowhere to put it, but who cares, I am loving it!

Today, I found these cute dolly pegs via Not on the High Street. 

The strawberry ones are my favourite, how about you?

A spring crush

One of my absolute favourite blogs ever ever is A Beautiful Mess. The author of this gorgeous space is Elsie, and she is getting married soon ! Yippeee and Congrats! Today she launched her very own wedding blog, Le Wedding Party, and that deserves a crush for sure.

Delightfully Tacky

I am always super excited when I come up with enough posts to start a new section on my blog. So drumroll please..... Introducing my latest section.... Crushes.

I am so inspired by all the creativity, prettiness, loveliness and originality of what's out there, I am sure will have no trouble filling my crush diary with plenty of sweet bits. 

My first crush is Delightfully Tacky. Marvel with me.

Elizabeth's blog is her amazing story about her travels in a 1973 Winnebago Brave RV. Along for the ride is her adorable pooch Little Bit (very photogenic). The pages of her blog are filled with beautiful pictures of awe-inspiring scenery along the way, gorgeous vintage outfits, every-day people and once in a life time experiences.

I admire Elizabeth's courage for taking on her dream to travel and only hope that I can show the same courage and fashion sense in the pursuit of my dreams...

 

Bow-Vember

The lead up to Christmas is sooo special and I am savouring every moment of it. Everyday I stare out the bus window on my way to work trying to spot new Christmas trees, lights and displays. Before we know it, Christmas will be over and all the shiny decorations will be packed away only to be quicly replaced by a multitude of easter eggs. So take a moment to just appreciate the wonderful and exciting couple of weeks ahead.

Have you started thinking about Christmas gifts yet? I have been on a shopping mission for the past few weeks, which explains my recent lack of posts.... sorry.

Today I stumbled upon Whiskers Lane, cute and crafty fashion accessories label that specialises in one off designs using vintage fabrics. The last bow even makes me think of a Christmas tree... or is it just me?
