The week that was

Phew! What a crazy busy week it has been. I thought it would be fun to recap with some photos.

Bastille Day - View of City from Eureka 89 as part of my brunch with Mum.

Monday - Sunset from my balcony and a relaxing night after a busy weekend os shopping and girly treats with Mum.

Tuesday - Late night at Ludlow Bar in Southbank for a fundraising event for work. Tough crowd but managed to raise $6,500. Thank you everyone.

Wednesday - A sleepy me had an amazing dinner with a girlfriend at the recently opened Touche Hombre Electrica in South Yarra. If you love Mexican food, check it out! I can recommend the New Jack Cheese Fondue.

Thursday - Homemade mushroom and thyme pasta with Brie cheese and an early night after watching America's Next Top Model.

Friday - Thai food from Blossom Thai in Toorak Road and home to enjoy a lovely bottle of wine with dinner and a good girly catch up with girlfriend number 2 for the week.


Saturday - Snow falling in Martin St, Blackwood - Crazy cold weather for a catch up with some fundraisers at the awesome Blackwood Hotel. No ghosts on our adventure but the food was great and the fires roaring.

Sunday - Sunset from the balcony after a long week.

Sunday - Barley & Sweet Potato Warm Salad for Dinner on the couch with S and a movie on TV.

Monday - Dinner with S at home watching Hamish & Andy's Gap Year Asia. (A nice tradition that started a couple of months ago when it was all about Game of Thrones Season 3.)

Tuesday - Lights of the MCG for the Liverpool Soccer Club training session (S is there somewhere soaking up the atmosphere and watching his favourite team in action.)

Gilmore Girls Inspired Mind Wanderings....

Having spent my weekend immersed in Stars Hollow with our favourite mother and daughter duo, I have now rejoined my reality and have had sufficient enough time to digest this next (and possibly last) instalment of my favourite TV family. I, like many others of around a similar age, spent the early 2000s religiously tuning into Gilmore Girls each week to get my fix of the latest caffeinated goings on in Stars Hollow. While Lorelei and Rory were closer in age than my mum and I, we did share a similar synchronicity of our relationships. We too spent plenty of time together shopping and enjoying hanging out. Though it is only now that i have developed a taste for coffee that we too can share this. So it was with excitement that we sat down Friday night to see what the last 9 years had held for our beloved Lorelei and Rory. Would Lorelei and Luke have finally got together? What adventures and accolades would Rory achieve on the Obama campaign trail as she pushed to dizzying

Handbags

As a girly girl I love shoes, champagne and handbags and fashion and plenty more. But I wanted to share a few handbags I am currently loving. Miu Miu Bag  - Image Making Magique The Hermes Birkin. Bliss Loving the pop of neon Another pop of neon My current favourite pop of neon yellow. Am trying to find my own before winter ends. As you can see my current style crush is a more structured tote. One day I will own a Birkin. Wonder what colour I will choose? A black or tan that will go with everything or something a little more special that shows off my fabulous purchase? I am in handbag heaven with these beauties. Can't wait to find my own slice of perfection. I feel a shopping weekend coming on! xxx

It's about a safe place to download and share. The good, the bad, the exciting and the ugly. While those close to me will know that the last 12 months have been tough and the last 6 more so, others will probably not have noticed a change in the business as usual version of me.  (aside from a lack of posting anything). Up until recently, I prided myself on that. On projecting that veneer to the world that everything is ok. But honestly inside I am sad. And it made me realise that we put on this veneer, this mask as if being the real version of ourselves would not be liked and accepted. That people would shun us and think less of us for showing our really feelings and our real lives. In this day of social media and the desire to share the best bits of our lives with everyone (those we know and those we don&#
