summer & colour

About 99.9% of my wardrobe consists of black, white & grey clothes.

My wardrobe looks a lot like this;

I'm hoping to make my wardrobe look a little more like this...

So I went shopping in my attempt to inject some colour in to my clothing collection and I picked up some nice, cheap casual clothes from Valleygirl & Temt.

This is one of maybe 3 yellow things I own. I really must get more, I love yellow.
It's a lot more vivid in real life though. 

 This dress is actually red, it's coming up kind of orange on my computer screen.
I love when dresses come with belts!

 Plain white t-shirt. An essential in my books.

 Simple coral t-shirt with a pocket. I adore coral.

 This actually looks a lot nicer on, I promise!

 I found this nude cropped 3/4 blazer on the discount rack for $19.95.
The cut is so flattering.
My best friend would disagree with me here but you can never have enough nude items.
Never!

 I love lace.
So.Much.

Love the detailing.

 I hate mullet/hi-lo, but I love this.
The front of the top sits at my hips and the back covers my bum, which looks a little awkward with shorts so I'm not exactly sure what I'm going to wear it with yet but I couldn't resist.
It came in white and coral and I am so proud of myself for picking the coral.

I love the detail on the bust.


Have you done any summer shopping lately?
Does your wardrobe consist of one/a few colours mostly like mine?

weekend wrap up

I had a really good weekend, despite the freezing, rainy whether.

On Friday night I went to a friends Partylite party, and purchased myself a few dozen different tealight candles.

I got 12 black orchid tealights, 12 fig fatale tealights, 4 giant passionfruit tealights and 4 giant twilight sea tealights.

I absolutely adore Partylite candles, certainly more than Dusk candles.

I've never tried Glass House candles so I can't compare those two.

Then after the candle party, Nick and myself went to our friends bonfire/get together which was really fun but we ended up leaving around 11pm because I was just way to cold to function.

Yesterday afternoon, we headed to the movies with a couple of friends to see Ted.

It was really funny, but quite predictable.

I loved that Patrick Stewart was the narrator. 

Has everyone seen this picture before?
It popped up on my Facebook a little while ago and I thought it was so clever.
That is, until I found out Ted is made by Seth McFarlane who also made Family Guy.
Then I realised, it's not that clever, just blatantly obvious where Seth got the idea for Ted from.





This is what I wore to the movies, nothing too special.
I didn't even bother with heels.

Cardigan - Target
Dress - Valleygirl
Stockings - Target
Shoes - K Mart

Overall, a pretty cheap outfit lol

Today I didn't do a whole lot.
I made banana bread for the first time and it came out really well, I'm very proud!
I'm going to post the recipe I used next time I blog, it was very quick and simple, which is how I like my recipes.



And of course, the usual snuggles with my little girl, Luna.

What did you do this weekend?
Did you manage to stay warm?
