A Photography Post... Sweet Holidays...

Here are some of my fav picts from our holidays, all these picts were taken with Ifie and now that PICNIK has closed I edited these between Pictureshow and Instagram...

We took a visit to the Capital City and did the tour of the Beehive and Paliament House...

a new dress for Ifie...

A recycled store treasure...

We spent time at the beach... quite a lot of time...

Have you ever picked pipi's before... YUM YUM!!!

We went to the park, we caught autumn leaves and blew bubbles...

And to top a great week off, Miss Manaia made us waffles for supper last night... mmm!

Well School (and work for me) starts on Monday so it's back to the daily grind, but at least we've had a great time recharging our batteries.  I'm planning what to wear tomorrow for super Sunday but at the moment, I'm at a loss... so Tuesday Super sunday Post will be verrrrrrrry interesting...

See you then

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

SUPER SUNDAY... on a sunday!!!

Hi! 

Well its been a while for super Sunday... but here it is...

a little bit of black and white with a cute coloured necklace...

 

Now its beginning to cool down, its time to start layering and leaving the sandals behind, but today was beautiful and this outfit was perfect for today, I need a new winter coat... I went to the Trelise Cooper Outlet Store in Greytown last week, unfortunately there was nothing for me there, but Nikki is going to email if anything gorgeous comes in... fingers crossed...

 

 

Blouse: Gorgeous vintage style, crochet lace and cotton top from Sussan.

Dress: Maxi dress from the Warehouse, I love this length.

Vest: I love the cut of this vest, from Farmers, Wild child.

Accessories: vintage beads made out of clay - so cute and a bargain!

See you Tuesday with some more of my garage sale and thrift scores...

A little write up... xox

Terrible! Terrible picture of me, but a lovely write up nonetheless.... I'm still a little excited... read the article here... Article from Manawatu.co.nz

Editing on an iPhone4s...

It's no secret that I love my iPhone4s, I even gave her a name 'Ifie'.  One of the things that make me swoon over 'Ifie' is the ability to edit and manipulate the photos taken from her stunning camera...

If you have an iPhone4s and you do NOT have "Pictureshow"  Get it! Now!  Seriously, you will love it!  Out of the 4 editing apps I have downloaded this one is by far my favourite... photos edited on Pictureshow come out so funky and a little bit grungy. 

These picts were taken by my 14 year old son and edited by me on "Pictureshow."

I love this quad option, it just randomly choose parts of your pict and splits it...
quad styles...

This is a pretty general holga-ish type, I like the grain running through it...

You can choose 'light leaks' I love this spotty option...

I love the dirty, kind of street look in this one...

This is the door of the Colosseum, the first place any of my photos were
on display... with the exception of my passageway...

This is almost a lady of the night look... although there is definite GRIT here...



This is fun! the mirror'd option turned my double head into heart shaped
funky sort of circus freak...

The spotty light leaks again...

This is a fuzzy spot focus option...

And this is my favourite, dirty, grungy, funky and interesting...

So I hope you download this app and I hope you use it and love it as much as I do... have fun...
