The weather here is unreal right now. With temperatures soaring into the 40's (Celcius) with the humidex, it's hard to be outside and not break a sweat ... standing still! I met up with the the girls on the weekend for breakfast and chatter. We dined al fresco (love it) and had a great time. I certainly got some sun, and although I was adament on applying the sunscreen (I carry it in my bag), the top of my head and my upper legs got a little toasted. New goal: start keeping a hat with me.
Psssst - I got these shorts on my shopping trip back in May.

While the temperature in these pictures might look nice, it was quite the opposite. I froze when I took my jacket off and for this time of the year, that's very surprising... and not enjoyed! C'mon summer. We only get what, three months of you to begin with, get this cool weather outta here!
On a side note, these are my favourite flats ever. I've had them for a couple years and cannot give 'em up. I've tried to purchase other black flats, basically to enable a switch up and prolong the life of these ones, but always go back. They are my tried and true. Comfy, stylish... comfy. But then again, why would you wear flats if they weren't comfy?

Swatch watch (last seen here), Bay ring & necklace & thrifted clutch
I wore this out to dinner for my Aunt's birthday on Saturday night. Almost immediately after capturing these shots, my necklace broke. Not impressed. I'm hoping I can fix it with some super glue but I guess we'll see. The kicker though, is that it's one of my more expensive (costume) jewellery pieces. I certainly scored it at a deeply discounted price, but initially, it was pricey! It always amazes me when my more costly items break and the cheapie stuff outlasts it. Something is wrong with that picture.
Lastly, this top is another one of my creations, made without a pattern and I have to say, it's probably my most favourite article of clothing I've ever made (not that there are tons, but a few which you can see here, here, here, here, here & here). I've worn it twice within two weeks (which is kind of a record for me - I really try to spread things out), like this, and once to the office tucked into a pencil skirt. The cut is perfect for me (boatneck, cap-sleeve, long in the body, slightly a-line & low back), in my opinion, and it's comfortable. When I saw the fabric, I had to have it. I initially planned to make more of a tank style, but then grew ambitious and this end result was more than I hoped for.
Do you remember the last time I was at this location? It was abruptly interupted by the police! I thought I'd try to do another shoot here since the graffiti wall got a ton of positive feedback from you, the lovely readers. Isn't it amazing how much the shrubs and grass have grown in a month!? Several feet - incredible.
Lastly, I know you're probably getting tired of seeing my fiancé's watch (which is offically now mine, according to me), but I just cannot get enough. Not only did I get it sized to fit, I'm also really getting used to having a time-teller on my wrist - so conveniet and chic (all in one). However, stay tuned as I did just get my new Swatch watch (which I won) sized, so I'll be able to switch it up a bit.

First ...loveMaegan did it. Then elisharon did it. Then it was my turn! Thanks for the great inspiration girls.
Will you make your own?

Everytime I get my hair coloured, this friend of my hair stylist always tends to show up. She sits around, chats and the conversations between the three of us are always so ripe. The most ironic part of it though, is that at yesterday's appointment, it was the third time she showed up and I happened to be there. If you knew me, you'd know I don't get my hair coloured that often, and it certainly isn't like clockwork, so, it really is such a coincidence. Regardless, with my wedding quickly approaching (just over two months away), I, for the first time, made a colour appointment months in advance. The three of us agreed that we'd all 'meet' there on that day, wine in hand, foils in head. When I go, it'll be one week before 'the big day' and I'm sure I'll be needed a couple glasses.
