Winter Layering .. HELP!

Winter fashion is here, and I'm totally at a loss what to wear. I love wearing dresses - I own one pair of jeans and a few pairs of tights for gym (when I say "gym" thats actually translated to relaxing around home). Unfortunately its getting to the stage if I don't embrace stockings or some sort of leg coverage I will look like a poor-per that can't afford pants.

So I've been googling and pinteresting for winter fashion. I like the idea of layering, but several problems have arisen thus far. 1 - tights/skin tight pants are BIG this season . 2 - due to number 1 I'd be required to wear boots (considering that's basically all you have to choose from in the shops at the moment) and 3 -Thick woolen jumpers. I bet your thinking yeah so what, nothing to worry about. Anything that requires me to wear boots is out of the question. Boots do not suit me AT ALL. My calves are like beasts. Even being a fitness freak my calves were big... unfortunately this means boots either cant' zip up OR when they do fit, they accentuate an already problem area. Tights are OK depending on the quality - but they also accentuate my thick legs. I do however desperately want one of the many gorgeous woolen jumpers in the shops at the moment - But the extra bulk scares me. I already have biggins, do I really want to make my top half look bigger? The point of the rambling is, do you have any winter fashion ideas for me? Just hit me with some links that would be awesome! 

Meanwhile on my hunt for a winter jacket, I found this gorgeous wool trench from Witchery. I adore it! Granted its bulky and probably isn't doing me any favours, BUT I don't care I love it! 

Witchery Long Line Wool Trench $349.95

I actually bought stockings for this trench so I don't look naked under my jacket. I am not looking for that look as I go into the office! 

I also have embraced hats... this is my current favourite! 

My only pair of jeans but more importantly the jacket. Its brand new from David Lawrence. What a disappointment. Such a saga.... I bought it and when I took it home, right next to the zip there was a hangy bit of stitching that kept getting caught in the zip. I couldn't cut it, because it was actually in a loop (this is really hard to explain clearly). Obviously it kept catching on the zip until finally it pulled the stitching and now I have this long hangy thread on the inside that I never pulled to begin with! Whats annoying is that when I took it back to the Geelong store, I was told to possibly choose another item, and they need to 'check with the regional manager' if they could refund, but they would let me know on Monday (this happen on Sunday). Anyway I'm yet to receive a call. I'm concern because they took the item, and all my docket details, and told me to retain the docket.  Now that I don't have the item I feel like I have nothing to show for this docket  Does this sound dodgy to you? I dunno, I'm really a bit confused about the whole thing. 

Anyway that's enough rambling for the moment. and yeah I know, I'm yet to blog about my birthday. I will do it soon! Every time I go to write something about it, I realise I have the funny photos on the other camera damn it! 

The Winter Freeze

Hi Guys,


How cold has it been? I went to visit some friends last night who live in Sunbury .. If your not from Melbourne its about an hour and a bit from the CBD. I think I am so used to city driving it felt weird being on a highway driving 100kms ... on the way home it was pitch black and I freaked out as a car looked like it was coming directly for me. The road was kind of bending and it was deceiving... that said I still swerved like a drunken person even though I was not drunk at all! I blame frostbite to my head... I took a picture of my car temperature gauge... actually thats really hard to read but it says 2am ... 1 degree! BRRR!

Although the weather was cold, the company was not! My Sunbury buddies are so funny, they make simple things hilarious. They have a son who is nearly 3, and came to greet me thinking he would be seeing a real cat. No no, just me buddy! Apparently he has a blue cat.... well thats what he told me, I'm not exactly sure where this blue cat is but ehh whatever hehe .. very cute! 

When I finally got home to sleep I shivered most of the night... I seriously have never been so cold! I feel like I have a hangover just from the terrible lack of sleep. I feel I should invest in some sort of small portable heater, although I love my apartment, heating was not on the landlords agenda when leasing this little baby out! 

So during the week I finally ventured into the city to visit Miss Fox for my eyebrow threading appointment. With Mezzy as my escort I still nearly opened the doors to the wrong place.... but I made it! and to my delight Miss Fox was as cute as can be! I really forget the name of the girl who did my eyebrows but she was lovely, and told me all the things I wanted to hear like .. I think they need to grow out a bit and maybe the shape should be this way bla bla bla. Anyway so off she went and truth be told , it is rather painful... but I am reasonably happy with the results. I think I just don't like how they aren't thicker on the ends how they used to be so I am glad she mentioned to grow them out. Here is the verdict.... 

As you can see I'm no photographer but you get the idea.... 

I have found the skin has been rather tender after the threading and I may have had a slight reaction to the aloe used afterwards. My skin is like old person, it doesn't like change! 

Have you tried threading? How do you shape your eyebrows? 

Afterwards Mez and I had dinner at the pancake parlour! Seriously their deluxe fries are the bomb, its heart attack material but o'so good! 

I had to laugh during the week... I don't know if any of you follow the footy but I like to know whats going on so I watch my fair share of shows like before the game, the footy show etc... however one person I cannot stand is Hutchie. I found this photo of him online, and I thought it was rather funny... I am not sure what he is doing... off to get few croissants (you wouldn't believe how many spelling attempts I made before I got that right - I am the worst at spelling) before the match Parisian style, I don't know haha His right eye looks rather odd.. I only just noticed this... hrmmm

Mezzy gave me this lipstick holder at work on Friday... and funnily enough I can make good use of it! 

I have also fallen in love with my Kit Shine on Polish. Love love love! If you have OPI do you lilac it, you surely would love this too. 

I have been asked by a few for the strawberry jam recipe I previously posted ... I shall try to put it up soon. Unfortunately I did follow a recipe but kind of adapted the amounts for uno... cooking as a solo can often make things rather difficult! 

Meanwhile I have really got on board with the whole get my hair dyed thing... I am trying to get some ideas as I want to easy myself into it but also have a somewhat half dramatic change. Maybe I am jumping the gun again... last time I wanted change I cut my hair too short and regretted it! If you have any good ideas please post pictures or tag them on insta for me ... i'm @kitty1983

Have a fab sat night ... and keep warm :) 

Weekend Wrap Up

Hey Prowlers,

I have been a bit neglectful of my post lately. You know what its like, too busy for your own good. 

Last Thursday I ran out of work to grab a few things for the weekend. I didn't realise the shops closed at 7pm (I thought 9pm for some reason).... so I ended up buying under pressure. I bought this gorgeous coral peplum dress from Sportgirl... I had the whole outfit planned in my head.. my tan wedges, gold jewlery... and I get home and find this! 

DAMN YOU SECURITY TAG!!

It made me so mad because I knew I didn't really have much time to take it back and get it removed. However it maybe a blessing in disguise, after trying on the dress with my shoes etc, from the front I thought yep loving this, then I turned around and thought good god, this really is not forgiving! I don't remember my butt looking like this ... ahhh I guess thats what happens when you neglect the squats haha! 

After the coral dress purchase I ran over to Forever new. I went there for one of the cute new dresses they have but ended up with this outfit..... 

I bought both the peplum floral top and white collarless jacket. 

I am a HUGE fan of Forever New. They have great stuff all the time. I don't know if I'm getting to old for it but I don't care! The jeans are bettina Liano Curvy Fit and RMK coral wedges. I bought some gold costume jewelry from Diva as I think it suits the outfit better than my standard silver. Generally I'm a dress girl, but I thought I should try to embrace jeans! I thought I did okay for a non jeans wearer haha

The weekend didn't turn out to be a drunken mess after all! Friday night Mez and I had work drinks for End of Financial Year. We were happy to be told Moscato was on the menu ... horray! I ended up driving , and found this to be a real drainer! Next time I will organise myself better so I can enjoy the bevi's. 

When I woke up on Saturday I felt a bit NQR for some reason... turns out so was Pani .. and she ended up at my place around 6ish. I got a few things done around the house etc, but really I needed that extra sleep. Anyway, so by the time we yabbered on for hours it was 8pm so we had to make a decision on what to do. The thought of dressing up in next to nothing for a night on the town did not appeal so we opted for dinner. We were going to try Mamacita's but I did read its a line up kinda situation so I randomly picked a Lebanese restaurant called Mezza at the top of Lygon. By the time we got there it was around 9pm but well and truley packed. (Sorry about my dodgy photography!)

Street view.... 

Falafel, fried cauliflower and some sort of Lebanese salady mix. 

Some awesome potatoes 

Lamb rice and veg... totally forget the name. Looks boring but tasted great. 

The funniest part was that they cranked up the Lebo music and out came the belly dancer. Call me a prude but I didn't know where to look! I must have had this unsure look on my face and the girl came right up to me and was like swishing around and what not... awkward! I said to her..."you just came up to me because I look petrified" and she said I wouldn't do that! I thought ...Sure you wouldn't! ... you get joy out of seeing my fear lol 

Some of the people there were getting way into it, full dancing old school style. Probably the only chance those old guys could dance with a half naked woman lol.... Anyway it was funny to watch and at least the place had a good atmosphere. We had a great waitress.... she was pretty friendly.. extra tips for her! 

Usually Pani and I waste most of Sunday if she comes to stay, but this time we thought we would go into the city.. the weather was awful! After returning the coral dress back to sportsgirl (the girl was ultra apologetic, but it was the mall store to blame not melb central so she can be forgiven), we stopped in at Mecca.... far out I could browse that shop for hours. I love all that beauty stuff... no wonder I'm broke and have nothing to show for it! I did however restrain myself and bought these beauties....

Kit 'Shine On' and 'Game On' and a 4 way nail file.... You know file, buff, smooth, shine. Honestly the girl raved on about it at the counter, but I have bought the same thing from Woolies that has Smooth, Buff and Shine and does the same job.. but for $6.95 I don't really care. Kit has some awesome nail colours, if your into the nail polish like me, I would definitely recommend to check it out! I'm pretty sure the polishes cost $15.95 .. they are Australian made too, which is always a bonus! 

Upon Pani's request, Game on.....

Pani bought some awesome coral jeans surprisingly from Dotti and black peplum top from Forever New. We are loving the peplum let me tell you that much! 

Meanwhile Pani and I were talking about where singles are supposed to find decent guys! Every guy I meet out turns out to be a flat out sleaze!....  Sometimes I think I am too nice for my own good......  The retards we have on our plates are just not worth it I can tell you that much! (sorry if your reading this .... well not really... get your act together you loser! grr!)

My threading appointment in on Wednesday which I hope goes to plan! Miss Fox better not let me down damn it hehe 

How was your weekend? Do you find winter adventures that more difficult when the temperature at night hovers around 5 degrees!? I guess thats why one drinks heavily before they leave the house lol I am becoming weak in my older age!
