Down Sizing

In my last Post I explained that I was in the process of Moving to an Apartment, I have now settled in after a few weeks, But had to downsize from my self built walk in wardrobe to a single wardrobe. 

Oh my god has this been a little painful, as I have been trying to go through all my clothes and see what items I really do need. It is now well and truly into Winter here in Sydney, So I'm trying to do my best and completely downsize to just he essentials you need in your wardrobe

What is one part of clothing that you cannot live with out?

Below is my Self Built walk in wardrobe

I have always wanted a beautiful dressing room or wardrobe, where all my clothes can be neatly stored away.

 

My New wardrobe

Remember whose wardrobe this one was?

But this Winter I'm going to try and make the most out of it, and when I think about it more there are so many things that I actually enjoy about Winter in Sydney.

At the moment I'm in the progress of moving out of my Townhouse with my Hubby, to a smaller more Affordable Unit to try and save some money for our own House. 

While unpacking the Winter Clothes, I came across my Grey Knit dress from last Winter, which mind you I only have worn Once since then! I decided to wear this out to a Family dinner on Friday night and dressed it up with one of my favorite scarfs.

Replay Of the Weekend

Did I tell you already that I love my weekends?

Why? You ask. Because the company I work for does not operate on weekends, and I get to do what I do best, SHOP For a bargain.

I went to Parklea Markets in Western Sydney on Saturday and Found myself this Leopard Print bag and Flat Ballet shoes for a bargain price that I could not Resist.

 

Leopard Print Bag $55.00

Black Perforated Flats $22.00

A Trip to the Hairdresser was so what I needed. So I opted for an Auburn Colour.

Maybe next visit, I'm thinking of jumping on the band wagon of Red Hair Colour.

Royal Fever

A big congratulations to Kate and Will for saying their "I will" during the ceremony that had taken place on Friday 29th April 2011, London.

I was one out of the 24 Million viewers who decided to watch the Royal Wedding at the last minute. I myself am a Nearly Wed ( Married in December 2010), and had a bit of a tear in my eye watching Kate walk down the Aisle.

Kate wore a stunning dress by Sarah Burton the house of Alexander McQueen. I'm predicting lace satin gowns to be in the trend for weddings in the next year.

Pippa, Kate sister looked gorgeous and nearly stole the show in a elegant fitted hugging ivory satin gown also designed by the house of Alexander McQueen. It was interesting watching the guests arrive into Westminster Abbey, there was a colourful sea of Fascinators and Big Hats.
