Currently sitting on my top floor balcony looking out over the pool….But only because its the only place in the apartment what picks up wifi…Currently there is a strong cold wind and I’m rugged up in a snuggie dressing-gown. Apart from the weather, I’m loving it! There is everything I’ll ever need within a 15 minute drive, including the airport and an outlet shopping centre where I picked up this pretty dress.

Dress: Valley Girl, tights: Voodoo, shoes: Chic Naturel.

P.S. Move went ok with a few nasty hiccups…I’ll be happy to recount the tale (inc. name and shame) of the removal company’s issues should there be any problems when my furniture finally gets delivered into my new share-house…

This is an automated post set to appear as I’m driving the 8 hour journey from Melbourne to Canberra. All my furniture is in the removal truck, my car is stuffed with all the essentials I’ll need for the next few weeks before I get into long-term accommodation. Unfortunately my dear Ping is not coming with me. He is to stay here in Melbourne with the family. I will miss him so much…

P.S. Until I get into my new share house I will have no internet, posting will be limited to free time I have which may be spent at McDonalds because they have free WiFi!

I just stumbled across Emma Watson’s new line for People Tree. People tree aims to provide fashionable fair-trade clothes. Emma’s line is organic and reasonably priced. Now, if only they shipped to Australia…

These are my two favourite items:

Moira contrast trim dress

Grenville college bag

The whole line is very preppy. What are your favourites?

So yesterday was Australia Day. I’m not very patriotic and try not to be too bogan, you’ll never see me sporting a flag as a cape or a southern cross tattoo. But I do love the day off and a good barbecue! I went to Amanda’s house which was nice to escape the packing up of my life to visit friends. Unfortunately, I forgot my awesome hat and am now very sunburnt. Not good.

Today I’ve been going though and packing up all my clothes. Who knew I had so many? And I regularly clean out my closet. Its all stuff I wear often and love dearly.

Hat: Rip Curl, top: Valley Girl dress attacked by scissors, jeans: Sportsgirl, shoes: Wittner.

These jeans started off tastefully ripped..Now my leg can fit through the hole in the knee…I know this because I put them on in the dark… *sigh* Need to find a patch of some sort.

This time next week I will be living in Canberra! Unfortunately, moving house means packing up everything and putting it all in marked boxes, hoping it doesn’t go missing and hoping that you can set everything up again just the way you had it. This can be difficult. I’ve tried to solve this dilemma by taking pictures of everything just the way it was.

I thought I’d share my bedroom wall with you all:

Burberry, chanel, pearls, shoes and an assortment of other random pictures I love.

Whats on your wall?
