Again, I have to apologize for the long break in between posts. One of my resolutions for the new year is to try and get back on top of my blogging, I really do miss it but have been so bad with getting back into it after my whole day sickness phase! So here’s to hoping 2013 will be better 
I hope you all had lovely holidays with friends and family and that you’re all enjoying the new year so far. 2012 was a year full of excitement for Liam and I with (more…)
Better late than never they always say, right? My brother and his friend arrived from Canada this past week so we have been busy taking them around and showing them the beauties of Perth. Today is my day off and I am trying to catch up on so many things, one of them being my neglected blog.
So first things first, here are some photos from the past Sunday of a colourful outfit for a slightly cooler summer/spring day. You’ve seen all the pieces before, but I love re-using and mixing up pieces from the closet and making new outfits every time. Who says you need to buy new things for a new look? A little imagination goes a long way
P.S. along with my brother came my beautiful new Nikon I bought and had sent to Canada, can’t wait to test it out!
New in // two-toned heels. When I first saw these platforms, I thought of these ACNE heels worn by Carolina Engman of FashionSquad.com. I love the different shades of blue and the big chunky heel. My shoe collection badly needed some colour injected into it, and these are a good start
P.S. huge thank you to all who helped make the giveaway a success! Can’t wait to do another one

Here are a few shots of the outfit I wore to the wedding reception this past Friday.
Liam & I drove to the shooting range AKA the garbage dump (people seem to think so anyways) by his house to snap some shots before the dinner. I opted for a fairly simple outfit this time: this dress is so easy to wear, so comfortable and perfect for the nights that are slightly cooler. I love the colour and I especially love the sleeves!
The reception was beautiful, the food was amazing, the entertainment was hilarious aaaand I caught the bouquet which pretty much made my life (hence the title). (more…)
