I’ve heard mixed reviews about my dear Whitney Housten and her Australian tour but the concert couldn’t be anywhere near as bad as the day I’ve had. I’m off to the concert to sing my blues away!

I was feeling under the weather today so I chucked a sicky from school. I’ve been going mad not being able to exercise because I can’t breathe through my nose so I went to a Body Balance class. It was perfect. Then I did some designing for my exhibition at the end of the year. I made the mistake of visiting the mega mall up the road that consists of three giant stores – Bunnings, Storage World and Office Works. I just really love tools, boxes and stationary and emptying my bank account buying those things.

* Shorts from Country Road
* Top thrifted in Canberra
* Shoes from Nine West (my first pair of these snapped clean in half and I’ve been waiting for the replacement for weeks. Mr Smaggle brought them from Canberra on the weekend. Thank god. I can’t live without them.)
* Coin necklace from Poppy Smaggle
* Wheelie Bin Necklace from Roomy Smaggle
* Men’s watch from Fossil

Oh and just to let you guys know my internet connection in Melbourne is questionable and it usually lasts just long enough for me to write a post, visit my favourite blogs and write a few emails which is why I’m being slack on replying to comments. Rest assured I do read every one and love you for it!

Today was one of those days… feeling a little sick, a little cranky and a little average. Can’t complain too much though because I’ve been really healthy in general recently.

* Dress from DFO in Melbourne
* Cardigan from Valley Girl
* Pants from Bonds
* Shoes from Funkis (I am so close to ordering more of these shoes… but I can’t decide which ones!)
* Head scarf is a belt from a top
* Earrings from Diva
* Men’s watch from Fossil

Well that’s it from me today. I’m going to lie down now…

I’m so ridiculously happy it’s the weekend! My week was great but tiring. I’m teaching a kid who has a phobia of people using computers (I’m serious…) so he belts the shit out of anyone using a computer in the classroom and my teacher assistants and I have spent all day training him not to do this. Meaning I got pinned to the floor (by said child who is very strong, very male and very seventeen years old) at twenty minute intervals throughout the whole day. I pretty much wrestled for 6 hours straight… that means I can skip the gym right?

* Dress from a shop called U Cutie off Puckle Street in Moonee Ponds. I had to cash my pay cheque (hello 1985!) and found this gem today. I like.

* Shoes from Marco Gianni in Canberra

* Coin necklace from Poppy Smaggle

* Wheelie Bin necklace from Roomy Smaggle

* Earrings from Girl Props

* Mens watch from Fossil

I’m currently waiting un-patiently while Mr Smaggle sends me updates as to how delayed his flight is going to be tonight… we are having a date. And he is running really, really late.

I had the most perfect Melbourne weekend starting with a trip to the gallery to have lunch with Roomy Smaggle which resulted in much giggling and sexy note swapping with the cafe staff. I also saw the Ron Mueck exhibition. Everyone needs to see this, it’s exceptional. Following that I had an impromptu date with Mr Smaggle’s bestie drinking tea and chatting then had drinks and dinner on Brunswick Street with Co-Dependant Smaggle. I’m like, so cosmopolitan right now.

* Dress from Maxine’s on Brunswick Street. This store is a hidden gem. It looks like a hippy shop but there is more than meets the eye. Trust me.

* Shoes thrifted in Canberra.

* Wheelie bin necklace from Roomy Smaggle.

* Flower necklace from Browny.

* Coin necklace from Poppy Smaggle.

* Men’s watch from Fossil.

* Scarf from Sportsgirl.

Right now I’m trying not to move lest I sweat in this hideous heat. Then tonight I’m off to hang with the Underbelly crew to watch So You Think You Can Dance and The Biggest Loser. It’s our Sunday night crap fest.
What about you lover? What have you been up to?

Also, if you’re a Canberra reader don’t forget to enter my giveaway!

I’m a self proclaimed summer hater and despite my irritation at people who state the obvious I’m allowed to indulged because a) I’m pretty and b) heat hurts me more than anyone else so here goes – It’s so bloody hot!!! I’ve spent the last week settling back into my Melbourne routine which includes Monday night swim/sauna/spa/gossip sessions with Roomy and Co-Dependant, lots of tea drinking, cooking and cleaning. I even spent a glorious Saturday evening drinking vodka on a gorgeous balcony in the city. Melbourne is treating me well this time around…

* Dress from Sportsgirl
* Shoes thrifted in Canberra
* Necklace from Roomy Smaggle from Greece

Spending the afternoon cleaning, going to the gym, doing some research for work and some sketches for school.

What are you up to tonight?

P.S Melbourne and Canberra ladies be sure to check out Yoink in the Brunswick area in Melbourne. I just cleaned out my cupboard! If you’re from Canberra and want something just yoink it and let me know and I’ll bring it to Canberra at Easter.

So guess what? Mr Smaggle’s Yoink iPhone application got approved and released today! Which means that you can yoink anytime you like. As a matter of fact I yoinked this bag. Yes I did.

* Dress (top?) from Tree of Life

* Tights from Barkins at DFO Canberra

* Men’s watch from Fossil

* Shoes thrifted in Canberra

*Earrings from Bijoux by Bouvier

I normally don’t give a crap about Mr Smaggle’s projects because most of the time they’re really boring so unless they involve fashion, ponies, Johnny Depp, or Johnny Depp riding ponies I’m like zone out. But I really, really like this one. So I’m sharing.

You can download it for free from the app store now.

Oh and while you’re at it, if you have a petrol head boyfriend he might like this one. It’s pretty funny.

I went to the dentist this morning and she showed me how to brush my teeth because she thinks that I’m not doing it properly. How humiliating…

Today I got up early…ish. Did some writing, spent some quality time with the Wii Fit, who by the way, I am not longer speaking too because he makes me have guilt. Then I went and did some bead shopping and made some some delicious truffles for dinner at the Smaggle’s tonight. It’s becoming my signature dessert.

* Dress from Ebay years ago. I love it.

* Shoes thrifted in Canberra.

* Coin necklace from Poppy Smaggle.

* Earrings from Girlprops.

* Rings from Mlebourne, Mamma Smaggle and a director of a play I was in around ten years ago.

How was your weekend my dear?
