Food & Friends & Facials.  What better combinations are there?

Snack while we cook.  Rather, while a few people cook & the others stand around snacking.

A pasta necklace!

Such a cute little birdy pear.

Yes, those are boys in the kitchen. What a catch they are!

The pink colour bug looks so cool in T's hair.  Photo on the right - crazy girls!

Now time to FEAST!

Facial time!

(I was forbidden to take photos mid-facial, so you don't get to see the girls in all their face-mask-glory)

Holidays!!!!  Is there any better time of year?
Good luck to those of you who are going through exams now - just think of all the fun you're gonna have on the other side!

STM Fashion Stage at the Beaufort Street Festival

Went to see the STM fashion parade at the Beaufort Street Festival yesterday, held at bamBOO at the Luxe Bar.  Styled by Claire Davies and Amanda Ashurst, it featured pieces available from many of Beaufort St's retailers (including Billie & Rose - you may recognise some of the outfits from here).  Funds are a bit prohibitive at the moment, but I have been dying to take a stroll down Beaufort St to stock up on my summer wardrobe.

Here's some of my shots from the 2pm show - apologies for the terrible colour, in part I blame the scorching sun (plus my hate of the sun, which makes me cranky and not in the mood for tweaking settings) and my less-than-perfect positioning (which resulted in me sitting on some gum, thus ruining my leather shorts!!  Argh!!!).  Quite a picture-heavy post nonetheless.  You were warned.

Excuses, excuses.  Oh well, let's start with some ready-to-wear: 


This Twenty Seven Names blouse is now on my want-but-don't-need list.

Cheap Monday sunglasses - not bad!  Might settle for these rather than blow a ton of money on those coveted Karen Walkers...

A bit of tuxedo-tailoring!  A nice touch for an LBD.



A close-up of that hair - something I think I'll try to beat those bits that fall out when I put my hair into a top-knot


Some swimwear:




Surprise!  The back of that blue tank has harness-like straps!





"Oh hello there!"



Finally some evening-ish wear (almost finished - I promise!)



I'm going to hazard a guess that the next manicure S tries will be yellow with orange accent nails

More harness-like backs



Leather, studs and slices of agate





My two favourite pieces above - a navy jumpsuit and that yellow dress.  I also want that coral lipstick!

Hope you didn't get a RSI from having to scroll down for so long.
More photos of the festivities happening on the street to come!

P.S. more photos of the parade here.  I should really start a facebook page for the blog...

Neon Manicure

A long year of clean nail polish-less nails has taken its toll and since exams ended, I have been rebelling like a ninja. (Oh what a rebel, I know.) 

These neon polishes were found - believe it or not - half way between Perth & Merredin in a small roadhouse bargain bin!!  Trust me to manage to shop even in the wilderness, thanks to the funding (6 hefty dollars) of my lovely sister-to-be!

Masking tape: manicures for the poor! ;)

It actually turned out SO SPLODGEY and I'm keen to try again using proper manicure stickers to do the tips.  Any recommendations brand-wise?

Also, maybe I'll try to avoid having red tips next time... the murder accusations were a bit much to handle ;)
