Modcloth Outfits Are In!!

Yay! I have been not so patiently waiting for my Modcloth buys to travel through snail mail from the other side of the world. Today they arrived and I am overjoyed. I love all three items and they fit like a glove. I can't even choose a favourite because they would all be worn for different things. When I get pics of me wearing I will post but for now images from the website.

The first item I fell in love with was the 'Fur sighted top.' The little fur baby on here looks the same as my not so little D'Argo. I love the bold red glasses against the yellow. I am not normally a yellow girl but this was my go to buy.

The dress I originally fell in love with was out of stock so I was brave and took a risk on this 'Ignite the Night Dress.' I will actually wear a black belt with this outfit. I was unsure of the capped sleeves and the unusual neckline but I had nothing to fear. It is such a light weight fabric and is perfect for the tropics.

Finally last, but in no way least, is my new hitting the town dress. It may be covered in cherries but I haven't had a dress fit my body shape this well in years! I love the retro feel of it and cannot wait to rock the look with a small black cardi, black stockings and heels. Might add some bright red lippie and nails to.

Scarves, Herbs and Flowers

Lots of happy, busy things happening this weekend. While working today I caved and brought 2 beautiful scarfs I have been eyeing off for the past 4 weeks (i know self control right) they match the Gypsy top and singlets I have had to order in. I have been looking for an excuse to buy these and managed to get the necklaces to match :).
We have also started getting our flowers into the pots, it is heading towards the end of winter here (26 Degrees Celsius with the humidity kicking in) and we need to get them in and growing before summer hits and they start to dry out. Ideally we should have done this about a month ago but time flies when you have lots of stuff to do. We are planning on starting our herb garden again, after Yasi we just have not really maintained the garden beds because the weeds went insane. So to get back into we have picked up seedling for rosemary, basil and chives. These are the three main herbs I use in my cooking. By some miracle the thyme has survived the neglect and just needs to be trimmed.
We also picked up a few varieties of flowering plants because they are pretty. I love having lots of colour and lots of different shapes with my flowers so I managed to get varieties of marigolds, snapdragons, petunias and a rice flower plant. The rice flower plant is really lovely, it is an Australian Native they called it a 'everlasting daisy,' and when you crush the leaves they smell like curry! Love it.
