The Dress!

Hey guys

On my way home from work a few days ago I was walking past the QVB and noticed this beautiful dress in the window of Country Road.

Luckily they had it in my size and when I put it on I felt so beautiful and happy. That NEVER happens to me when I wear clothes. EVER!

I'm not going to say Country Road clothes are incredibly cheap, but I thought it would be $180 as a absolute maximum but when I checked the price tag I almost had a heart attack! $299. In the most melodramatic way possible, I had to have it. I put it on layby.

I'm going to wear it to my birthday! I'm so excited for the big day, it'll be so much fun! I've already got the shoes to match which I bought a year or two ago now all I have to think about is my make up and hair.

Here is the dress, you can get it from Country Road here:

While I was also in Country Road I tried on a few things that I am going to be adding to my wish list, here they are below:

This is one of the first times I have liked almost every item Country Road have brought out. A lot of the time there is only one item I really like and the rest of the collection is a little 'meh'.

Hey ladies & gents!

I can feel summer in the air; It's getting hotter, more humid and the days are longer. I like summer but it's meant I be spring! Spring is my favourite season because it's not too hot an not too cold but absolutely just right. The flowers are starting to bloom and the whole city seems brighter an lighter. I also like spring because my birthday is in spring!

This year I turn the big two, one and I am officially legal in all countries which is pretty cool. I guess I now consider myself an adult and well on my way to independence. 

This has been such a huge year for me. I left my comfortable family business job for a (at times) difficult and stressful job in Sydney CBD. I got my red P's so I can now drive solo and bought a car a few days later. My boyfriend, Andrew and I both moved out of the family home into a small unit closer to the CBD which has been an interesting learning experience that I have enjoyed so much.

I look at everything I've accomplished and I am so proud of myself. For the first time in my life I'm not focusing on the negative parts of my life, but seeing the big picture and in all honesty, I really like what I see. I'm very proud to be me and incredibly thankful for everyone's support that has got me to this point.

I don't think I am perfect, I know I have parts of me that I need to work on but I'm heading in the right direction and if I go off track, I know that there are people who love me who will keep me going the right way.

Backtracking to my birthday (AKA Festival De La Lucy) my amazingly amazing boyfriend gave me an early present! It's a beautiful and elegant Fossil watch. It's called the Georgia Mini Three Hand Stainless Steel Watch. You can get a similar kind in rose here. My watch isn't on the website yet (it's that new), the lady at the shop said that they only just got them ordered in and I was the first person to get one.

 

I always thought that watches looked silly on me because they made my wrist look huge, but now that I have this one I want a collection! Honestly, I've always loved watches especially Fossil watches. I think they are so classic and elegant and that's what I think a watch is meant to be.

I chose the gold and black version because it will go with almost everything I already own. In the photos it comes out looking very gold, but it actually is a rose colour.  The clock hands are glow in the dark which I thought was pretty nifty.

On an equally exciting note, I pick up my car tomorrow! I'm so excited about it. I'm not excited about paying for petrol and insurance but I am very happy about the freedom having my own car brings and with that comes some financial restrictions.
