Goodbye Mr Decade..............

Last day of 2010! How did that happen?? Seriously... I guess this collage shows where my year went! Can't wait for fun new years times tonight, will be partying it up at my sisters with her pool and dancey times and lots of drinky mc drinks!!

Hope everyone has the most amazing times of amazement tonight!!  And that you all make the most of the "I haven't done that all year, that's the funniest joke I've heard all year!" jokes! Hahahaha oh they never get old.

Some Christmas Presents........

Christmas is over! There is such a build up for so long and then it's over so suddenly.  It's always a bit sad after I think.  I feel like our Christmas tree is mocking us with it's festive cheer, when we have to wait a whole year for Christmas again!

Oh Christmas was a super fun day though, we managed to see all 3 families, we spent breakfast with my Mother in Law, had lunch and swimming and fun times at my sister's with all my family, and then had dinner and swims at my Father in Law's.  It's always so fun to see how excited my nieces and nephew get over their presents as well! 

I hope yours was amazement too children of Blogland.

ohhh it is the christmas kind.......

Which is the BEST kind!

Yes it is Christmas tomorrow, in case you weren't aware.  I love Christmas because I love festivity! Our tree is all shiny and glorious, with millions of presents for my millions of nieces and nephews underneath it!

  Tomorrow I will be rushing around all day trying to see all the family, but it is going to be SUPER hot, and I am going to swim, like some kind of underwater swimming creature, like a mermaid or an old abandoned shoe.  And I shall surround myself with delicious food and magical drinks!

Weeeeeeeeee I hope everyone in blog town has the best time they have ever had in their entire lives!

I may even posty tomorrow because I bought an especially fun dress to wear, and I have a feeling there are some especially hot shoes under the tree......

xoxo

p.s. Don't forget to stop by Mr Bird's for an important Christmas message...

some christmas tags I made for all the presents.......

Spot the difference............

Yes our favourite party trick is to swap outfits half way through a party for no apparent reason and see who notices.  It sure does trip out drunk people a lot, some people don't notice at all.  Although my hair looking slightly crimped gave away that it had previously been up in some kind of plaited style.  Oh adventures!

How hot is Hanskies jumpsuit, I never wanted to take it off, and almost nearly couldn't because I got stuck in it when I forgot to untie the belt but tried to change anyway.  Oh I am a clever clogs.



kittens are nice..............

Well, I'm trapped in the study again because my totally sane and lovely kitten is trying to kill me.. Yes she is a nice cat, and by nice I mean crazy.... But craziness is good and clearly runs in the family its just usually my craziness does not end in me trying to eat people....

Here is a quick outfitty from the weekend, I have more wonderful photos to come of those adventures in the next posty post!!

top Dotti, skirt Supre, belt Sportsgirl, necklace Sportsgirl, shoes went missing so I could dust up the dance floor,

Pinwheels + Cupcakes.....................

Oh how I love pinwheels, they are so pretty and so much fun!  I ordered our wedding pinwheels from Pinwhirl parties, who also provided us with the pennants.  I spent a whole day hand making the pinwheels because we went with the DIY option! It was intense but well worth the effort!  I would definitely recommend Pinwhirl Parties they were very organised and always prompt in replying to my emails!

The cupcakes were from Kustom Cupcakes, and were on recommendation from my friend Martina, she also had them at my hens night.  They were so delicious, and they were also really prompt and helpful.

more wedding and glorious headpieces............

Our photographer Christine Lim has also put together an epic post of our wedding if you would like to see. It's a wonderful post, you will feel like you were there.

My estranged best friend Hannah made this head piece for me especially for the day as a lovely surprise.  You can get one for yourself at her new etsy shop here.

...and also lovely Nikki has put a post together about my wedding day too, she is such a sweet lady!

So much love!

Oh Marriage.............

We got all our professional photos yesterday from our wedding photographers Christine & Ruby.  They are absolutely magical!  The photos were on disks with our photos printed on them, in a gorgeous little box wrapped in ribbon.  They even put together an amazing slide show with music.

There are so many photos that it may take some time for me to put together a proper wedding post, but to tide you over you can check Ruby's blog, she has put together an epic post on our wedding!  Seriously these photographers were so wonderful, they are truly lovely happy and fun people and they are also amazingly talented.  I am in awe of their work.

husband and wife dance party..............

Had such a glorious mini-break... should do it more often.  Drank too much wine and fun beach times, boys got in touch with nature and went crabbing, lounge room dance party, and then lots more wine.  No more wine for me for a while!!

nails they go on your hands..............

I do so love on this nail polish colour, yes I do, you can catch a tiny glimpse at my wedding band here, huzzah it is glorious.  My hand looks slightly over tanned here, damn you weird lighting and spray tans.....

I'm going on a semi road trip now, destination wine o'clock here I come.

p.s. yes that is a step ladder, ooh artsy composition.

lack of inspiration............

I haven't sketched properly in so long that I feel like I have forgotten how to draw.  It is sad, here is a rough attempt at drawing today. Sigh.

ohhh summer.....

I really miss having a swimming pool in my court yard.... oh Bali.....

bedroom make over..............

We are in the middle of redecorating our bedroom, have painted the walls and purchased new furniture etc.  Still early days, but it's good to utilise some of the bunting and lanterns we used as decoration for our wedding.  Whimsical, whimsical I likey....

La Ritournelle............

I walked down the aisle to this song.....truly magical.

marriage times.............

More marriage times!  This was taken with my friend's instax camera, and left as a suprise on our message thingy.  How cute!

Also ridiculously excited on seeing this sneak peek on our wedding photographer Christine Lim's blog!  She is a wonderful talented lady!  Oohh and also found this sneak peek via Ruby's blog, who is also a wonderful talented lady!

Night time beach times...............

After many magical beach times on my honeymoon in Bali, I was inspired by the 2threads Billabong summer blogging challenge.....

Chilling on the beach at night time in Bali was most magical.  Especially after eating at a most spectacular restaurant right on the beach. We discovered a magical light up dart thingy that flies through the sky.  Husbandy was most impressed and bought one immediately.  Pretty lights on the beach at night time are the best kind!  I enjoyed the disco laser pointer the man at the beach tried to sell us.  After having many a wine, I began dancing like a lion tamer in the middle of the beach by myself.  Good times... The beach at night time is one of my favourite things, throw on a whimsical floaty dress and prance about in the sand surrounded by pretty stars and a lovey night breeze.  It is glorious!

I jumped on the facebook bandwagon awhile ago, and it is looking very lonely, so feel free to stop by.

I'm also going to be replying to comments within my comments now, so make sure to checkity check with the eyes that live in your head. Okay deal.

scents and dollars...............

Some pretty scents of mine and a couple of my husbands.  It is good to smell good!

Gucci Flora, Chloe Love, Marc Jacobs Daisy, DKNY Be Delicious Fresh Blossom, Body Shop Love ETC, Tresor In Love, Paco Rabanne 1 Million, YSL, L'Homme, Urban Ritual Cotton Candy, Lolita Lempicka

......it's a fun dress!

Kind of outfit posty here, this is on our honeymoon in Bali.  I had to barter for that dress,  I really really was no good at bartering, so I made my husband be in charge of all of that.  He is a good husband. Anyhoo it is a really really fun dress.  The minute we met it challenged me to a badminton game.  It was really keen on going to the beach and playing grip ball and had a great collection of marbles we spent hours playing with together.  What a great dress! So fun!  I am also wearing a sportsgirl hat and shoes from shoe show which although fun did not have the same keen interest in fun activities.



plaited for life..........

Oh being plaited together for life is quite an interesting adventure, and by life I mean about 5 minutes, because then we moved onto other things like giant pretzels of love and running around in circles whilst shouting "whirl pool whirl pool whirl pool whirl pool".  Oh lounge room dance parties at my house are surely strange, and everyone is invited, because it is very fun.  It is as fun as some kind of giant dinosaur who wears pirate hats made out of newspaper and constantly practices the recorder.  If you are loving on my outfit, well then you are only human, because I am wearing a nighty tucked into some ratty cutoffs! Yes I am a classy nighty wearing rapscallion! But Hanhan looks very nice she doesn't wear her pyjamas to classy lounge room events!

I have got to get back on the blog horse, so to speak.  But I am so lazy that even sitting still in the corner facing the wall is too much effort for me.  But I promise to do an amazing post on the wedding and the honeymoon and all things glorious because that's just the kind of gal I am!!

xx

more marriage...........

Just another quick snap of wedding times, that was my wonderful flower girl/niece, and my new husband!

weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

wedding sneak peek.............

A quick snap from my wedding times a couple of weeks ago, this is me walking down the aisle with my Dad.  I was crying like an idiot, which was to be expected as I always cry like a crazy person at even strangers weddings!!  More wedding photos to come soon, it was truly a magical day of magicalness.

almost marriage times..................

Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee how excite! I have been so super busy this week it's been crazy, barely a moment to breathe, but still always saving time for party times!  Here are some pinwheels that will be used at the wedding!  Pretty, pretty, will have photos up as soon as I am back from my honeymoon!!  Good day sirs!

Today I shall.....

....make millions of pinwheels, sketch in my moleskine, wear a hat in the sun and read Franny & Zooey.....

escalator............

Adventures with hanskies on escalators, may have involved crashing bucks nights and rescuing the groom to be from inappropriate train behaviour, also may have involved dressing up strangely and having 90's throwback lounge room dance parties to the likes of B*witched and S.O.A.P.  Yes, this is how we party.

pretty pretty...........

Some things I am loving right now, pretty pretty bag, pretty hair band, pretty bracelet, gucci flora, nude nailpolish and of course Frankie.....

Fun fun fun........................

I bought some severely fun pens today!! They are all colourful and finelinery and they are wonderful and you can use them to draw on things.  The options are endless.  Here is my first practice with them.

I think I am coming down with a cold.  How could you Mr Cold, How could you!!??  I do not wish to be sick.  I really have nothing of interest to share with you today.  It is a bit lame isn't it.  Lame lame lame, stop reading this silly blog your eyes scream at you. LOOK AWAY LOOK AWAY.

Ohhh marriage..............

 

With my wedding less than three weeks away, I really do have weddings on my mind!  Here are my grandparents on their wedding day.  I truly love these photos, her dress and her bridesmaid's dresses are quite spectacular.  And their little bonnets!  I really treasure these photos as sadly I never got to meet them........

The Adventures Of Hubble Nelly and Wilson Shep..............

However I can never remember which one is which??  But one is Hanskies and one is me I expect.

IT IS THE MYSTERY.

Love, building blocks, instant swedish accent, night time expeditions involving sunglasses, cheating at celebrity heads and lounge room dance parties.  What better way to spend a Friday evening!

Pretty much the best photo in existance....

even though you can see down my top a bit, although maybe that makes it more awesome, I don't know! Hahahahah but seriously, how good is this photo, we should print this up giant and display it at the wedding or something.  piggy backs are wonderful.

Shop Shop Shop said the angry man eating dinosaur.............

Please participate in the poll on the left hand side of this page! Thank you kindly sirs.

Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee bridal shower.....

 

For my bridal shower/hens night, we all decided to pitch in and build a time machine.  Now it was no easy expedition, but we did succeed!!  As it turns out, the key to time travel is cupcakes!! Yes time machines should be made entirely out of cupcakes!!

So in our new delicious edible time machine we hopped back in time and attended a 50's dance!!

It was wonderful! Martina the key time machine operator oragnised an amazing night 50's styles.

It was so nice to have such a classy event!! No man bit themed memorabillia anywhere! Yayyy!

I also met the lovely Jessie of The Velvet Bow,  I'm not sure because I can't remember much but I think I may have frightened her with my drunken rattiness and country dance moves... Oh dearyyyyy.

The lovely lady in the rest of the photos is Hanhan, she has a blog here click click click.

The whole night everybody kept telling us we looked like Blair & Serena!! And by everybody I mean one person, but it pretty much made our nights as you could imagine!

Weeeeeeeeeeeeee

picnic basket............

I love on this picnic bag styles clutch bag so freakin hard.  It was a gift from a lovely lady.  The only sad thing is it broke straight away, but she will return it and soon it will be back in my life again and I can go on miniature picnics..oh it is so pretty even the lining is all florally and wonderful.... This photo is from getting ready for my hens night, 50's stylessssssssss.... More photos to come soon...It was wild.
