Weddng Shoe Hunting

While i was in America i was on a mission! Special/awesome wedding shoes were my target....

Unfortunately i came home empty handed (Ben got his whole wedding outfit though so that was good!)....ironic that the one time in my life i am allowed to buy an expensive pair of shoes that are usually not justified, i cant find a pair i love! Seriously 99% of them were foul?! What the hell?? My gorgeous other half has always wanted to buy me a special pair of wedding shoes. Don't get me wrong i saw a few that were pretty cool & almost made the cut, but i just didn't LOVE LOVE any of them.....one pair were pretty close to being purchased, but it was 7pm on our last night & i couldn't bring myself to impulse buy something so pricey. I guess i can get them online of i decide they are the ones...so im not going to tell you just incase!

Cheese cake.

My friend Sian had a 'cheese cake' for her wedding a few years ago & it was the first time id seen one! I know they are popping up all over the joint these days but how divine does this one look! The black plate is so striking. Putting this in my kitchen tea ideas file :)

Maxi

 Ive been a lover of a maxi skirt or dress for ever & am so happy maxi skirts have made a come back! I have LIVED in maxi dresses for the past few years - cannot get enough - despite the fact that my fiance hates them...think he'd prefer a short skirt! Hmpf! Men! How much do these images make you want to go straight out & get one! A few months ago i got an amazing champagne colored pleated maxi from Country Road - it has the most amazing flow to it! Uh oh.... this post has given me the urge to go shopping.....

Wedding + Trees

Dont need to say much really, this shot is divine!

TGIF.

Very glad its friday this week - no particular reason, it just felt like a bit of a rubbish week! Is about to get better though, as im getting out of the office early & am off to lunch with a girlfriend at a new yum cha place that is rumored to have free champagne! Yum Cha & Free champagne?!?! Does it get any better :)

Then on saturday, Im off to be support crew at a 24hr mountain bike race...i know 24 HOURS CONTINUOUS! Who does that?! My fiance apparently! Although he's a little less crazy as he's doing it in a team of 4...and one of his team members is Sam from Black Velvet Chairs hubby! Small world huh!

Christmas is coming!

Its my favourite time of the year again! whoop!

December 1st - thats right people your allowed to put the tree up!

Wedding Wednesday - Rustic tables

In my trawling of all the great wedding blogs out there in the past year ive come across some amazing table settings. Loving these rustic but glamourous looks. Maybe even some inspiration for your xmas table or next dinner party perhaps?

Envelope Love

Im a sucker for packaging - and that includes mail! Plus i always get excited when i receive something hand addressed in the mail, dont you? On the weekend i addressed our wedding invites! I was inspired by some of these images. I did look into having them done in calligraphy by a pro - but it was approx $5 per envelope!!! Yikes. People tell me i have nice handwriting (even though im not so sure) so i thought id do them myself. I think/hope i got a similar look, that ended up just costing me a few hours of my time! Plus was nice to do them myself.  I have to say americans are spoilt for choice when it comes to beautiful stamps - we aussies have nothing like the gorgeous designs you guys have in the states!
