Happy Birthday.

Last weekend S and I drove down to visit my family who live in a small country town called York, which is about an hour and a half drive from Perth. It’s a nice break from the city, and even though Perth isn’t exactly bustling it feels good to not have any phone service, not use the internet and wear old farm clothes for a while!

While I was in York I was given a bag stuffed full of clothing that previously belonged to my mums, friends, mother. As you could imagine half the pieces dated back to the 50’s and some were even hand made. Picture my excitement when I dug into the bag and found not one, but four pairs of shorts! They are all high waisted, with intricate detailing and they fit like a treat. These green ones were my pick for the day and I can’t wait to show you the others.

After watching me cavort around in my shorts the family decided to trek into town for breakfast at the JAH- ROC Mill Gallery. JAH- ROC is an old flour mill which has been turned into an art gallery showcasing jewellery, wood furniture and art. It’s a beautiful building and when I lived in York I would often wander around the levels admiring the work; and now that my dad stocks his wood furniture at JAH-ROC I like the building even more! (The chair above is his)

My lovely weekend was complete when S surprised me with this darling rose ring he had purchased from the gallery. Hope you all had a good one!

Campfire Stories

Every year my family holds a party on their farm. Its a chance to burn all the debris over the last year and for every one to turn a tad feral. It was minus two degrees when we lit this, and we were all heated within seconds. The dog always gets over excited and konks out with someone half way through the night. I like the contrast of the excruciating cold and the intense heat.

 

I also like packing. Which is what ive started doing tonight.

Packing gives me a chance to reflect on my most treasured pieces in my wardrobe. 

Items such as my sequins and second hand finds always bring a smile to my face.

I was meant to write a post about how i went to visit my Family in York and stayed on their hobby farm over the weekend. Buuuuttt as you can see S decided we should spend some time in the local hospital instead.

We did go to York and we did stay on the farm (cue cute doc pic) but S fell ill half way through our visit and ended needing a jab in the bum to ease his tummy. Poor boy.

In other non vomity news, i bought some bronzer.Nars Laguna to be precise and I do like it allot.
Like a silly duffer i had previously avoided this bronzer as i thought the slight shimmer would look terrible on my skin.WRONG. its such a soft, luminous shade and I've had fun wearing it to hospitals and farms and to dinner; that's how good it is, you can use it for any occasion. It also looks smashing with my new Fuchsia lipstick.

When the mooon hits your eeeyyyyeee like a biiiigg Piiizzzaaa ppiiieeeee

As you can tell from above we had Pizza last night. But it wasn't JUST pizza, it was Pizzaca pizza. I'm actually drooling at the thought of it. Its on Scabs beach road and totes worth the drive. Every one who lives in Perth please go right now! I don't eat much and i ate the whole thing to my self, i got the Brush and S got the Little Master i think? Brush is Feta, Parmesan, Red onion, Tomato and Pesto. S doesn't like it because its basically a slab of cheese. That's good for me though! mmm cheesy goodness.

Obviously I'm not a weirdo who has dessert first but Blogger wont let me rearrange the pics so you will just have to bear with me. So after after pizzacas - haha- we like to have the Baked Banana Cheesecake with double whipped cream and ice cream. Obesity, i know!

I also needed to show you all pictures of the new top thing S got, its amazing.. oh so drapey and soft and thin and versatile. i wanted one and i sooked when i realised i couldn't get one in my size.

Now its Friday and to celebrate I bought a lippy from Revlon's new Colour Burst range. My shade is Fuchsia and i heart it long time. Very moist but not shiny and only 23 shmakers!

Have a good weekend every one, ill be in the sticks with no phone service or computer or power (ill explain on Monday) so no blogging until i get back!
