Super Sunday - Lady in Vintage Red...

Well winter is well and truly on the way... It was raining hard and I was happy to have the chance to finally wear this dress...  I LOVE this dress, the colour, the long sleeves, the high neck and the fabric.  I'm not sure how old it is but I was lucky enough to have been given this by one of my Nanny's... What do you think?

 

I also thought there are a few ways I could wear this dress... like one dress, three ways...

 

Mix-mash!  With my TCD black Nautical dress...

And... with my $5 vintage polka dot over vest.  I love this vest but I've never worn it yet... All of a sudden... light bulb!

I think it looks fab with this dress...

 

You know, to be brutally honest since I switched jobs I've been having a bit of trouble with my personal style... its frustrating, especially after finally becoming comfortable with it when I was at school.

Last week I was super lucky to be on the receiving end of a wardrobe clean out of a super generous, friend and colleague. I was astounded at the beautiful clothes that she was getting rid of... I love them and I'm going to do some post's called "Hand-me-over lovelies" which will be all about the stunning clothes that  I have been lucky to be given lately. 

Exciting!!! 

I'll keep you updated with my style dilemma as well, I'm hoping to get over that fairly soon, but with a change in season, comes another new change in wardrobe as well... plus I have way too many clothes and now I have no room in my wardrobe!  How can I have so many clothes and constantly have nothing to wear?!

My toes are freezing, I'm going to bed but I know there are a couple of little lumps there already.... My kids are my own personal bed warming hotties.

I have another shoot coming up soon, I'll let you know all about it...

Super Sunday...

Apparently women with curves arent supposed to wear stripes... but I love stripes.  I've been looking for a stripey dress for a while now and I finally found one...

Dress: Farmers - Whistle

Shoes: My favourite Sweedish Hasbeens as worn last week... (yes I wore them again... the honeymoon is so not over lol!)

So what do you think?

These beautiful girls seem to agree with me... I think they look gorgeous!  Why don't you go over and visit them at their respective Blogs; they'll give you some serious curvaceous style inspiration...

Curves and Confidence...

Inside Allie's World...

Do you do stripes with your curves?

Super Sunday... At Last...

Yes, I know its been such a long time since I've done a Super Sunday post... BUT listen up because I'm about to hit you with a seriously personal experience... good... and bad!

THE BAD: So... the honest truth? I stopped posting Super Sunday's because I felt I had put on too much weight... and I felt my curves were turning into one big curve, you know... kinda like a beachball (lol)...

THE GOOD: Anyway, on June 14th I started an amazing programme, a holistic approach to weight loss that focus's on physical, mental and emotional well being.  I'm not going to get into all the details because it's a whole other story... infact, its probably a whole other blog... but I want to share with you that in the last 6 amazing weeks I have lost 15.5kg's!!! (thats around 34 pounds!)

I'd never want to be super teeny-skinny (ie. Posh-Spice), for me that would be plain un-natural, besides I love being curvy, it's part of what makes me a woman, and we women are amazingly awesome!!! 

But today is the first time in aggggggeeess that I have wanted to do a Super Sunday post...

So here it is... Super Sunday, I hope you enjoy it...

  

Dress: TCD dress as worn in this post.

Shoes: my new, super gorgeous Sweedish Hasbeens sky high t-bar clogs... they arrived in the post last week from Modcloth, so dreamy and comfy. Yep I got it bad with this pair, seriously shoe-smitten!!!

Bag: a beautiful vintage thrift shop score $2

Scarf: Pure silk Garage sale score 50c

 It's really very annoying that some of my favourite clothes are now too big, BOOOOO!!!! However I can now properly fit into more of my gorgeous vintage dress collection that have been sorrowfully stored in my wardrobe for a wee while now, WOOHOOO!!!!!

Hope you are feeling as awesome as I am...

It's been a while...

Hello Blog land!!!

I'm so excited! TCD (The Carpenters Daughter) monthly email newsletter came today and I was mentioned along with Curves... How cool is that? Very very cool!!!! Thanks Caroline... looking smoking hot by the way...

I wore my new TCD dress on Sunday but I was far too busy with Sunday things to take picts and by the time I had time I looked far too haggard lol! So tomorrow I'm going to take my daughter, and my camera to the park... and take some real photos... 

This Saturday some of us girls are heading to Palmerston North for a girls day out in honour of the 30th birthday of Mrs 'Optimus' Prime, YAY! Looking forward to that... I'll post all about it on Saturday when I get home.

I was so disappointed that the Sweedish Hasbeen's I ordered from Buy Invite NZ aaaages ago didn't come through... aren't they're just beautiful? Yes! Boo hoo! They are!  Especially in the green, oh well, I got a refund and now have to wait for another sale to come up. 

Anyway, till we meet again on Saturday why don't you go and visit some of my friends at some of my fav blogs...

...I'm loving Julie's ombre hair and gorgeous yellow dress here.  I think this will be the next thing I do to my hair, I wish I had her length as well, but the colour ROCKS!!!

...Jo's got a beautiful Mother's Day Brunch up here, complete with recipies, Mother's day is this Sunday for N.Z...

...Victoria is so lucky, recieving some lovely packages this week, check out her pressies here, she's also joined the iPhone4s gang YAY!

...And if you havent already checked out my new business venture blog with the Fantastic Mrs Fox pop in here for a browse.

Have you heard of HCG drops?  If you have let me know, positive or not so positive I want to know please.  Thanks.

Ok, see you on Saturday

My Ganama's dress...

I love this dress. 

It was ANZAC day on Wednesday and I thought I would wear this dress to work on Thursday because I felt... hmmm I suppose I felt sentimental...  I'm really grateful for the men who went off to war to fight for our country, to keep their grandchildren free from bondage and incarceration.  What a beautiful country we live in and I'm very glad that I have the freedom of speech, might and mind, that I'm able to share it with you...  I love New Zealand.

Green with envy...

This must be the first time that my laptop has suffered withdrawls from me and not the other way around... I haven't touched the poor thing since I posted Super Sunday... You see, Blogging helps me to relax; but these holidays I just haven't needed any help to relax... isn't that wonderful?  Yes it is!

I'll post some of my fav holiday picts tomorrow... but for now let me introduce you to the latest edition of my curvy wardrobe...

Yesterday, we stopped at the Savemart in Upper Hutt and even though this is not exactly what I call a bargain at $20.99 I did think it was a bit steep, but, it was pay week yay!  and I just could'nt pass up on the colour... or the fact that it looked brand new... so I had to snap it up because it's just so beautiful... do you agree?

I'm so excited that The Carpenters Daughter is coming to town next week! 

Yay!  I'm looking forward to going along and checking it out.  I know exactly which dress I want so fingers crossed... if you live in Wairarapa check out this link out for more information about TCD and who knows, we may just bump into one

another at the roadshow...

Have a lovely weekend
