Had the best week with familiar faces from home! My cousin Vianna and her boyfriend came for a visit last Wednesday so I've been busy showing them around town. They were only here for a quick pitstop before heading up to Gold Coast but we definitely were able to share some laughs while they were here. Highlight of their visit was making our lamb roast dinner! Never been so proud. 
Friday morning was spent sending them off and welcoming another friend from home. Jenn also came for a visit and we have been keeping busy adventuring all around town. Went up to Mt. Tomaree for a hike, toured a few beaches, danced Saturday night away, and hosted our first BBQ on the patio. 
Highlight - rode my first wave (laying down) but I was on a surfboard so it counts!

 

Being addicted to instagram and pinterest…I spend my free time liking and sharing my dream closet. Focusing on a casual everyday look, my favourites are: Sienna Miller, Nicole Richie, Rachel Bilson, and Candice Swanepoel.  
Honourable Mention: Blake Lively, Kate Hudson, and obviously the Olsen twins. 
Hello style icons...

How good are these! These leading ladies can't go wrong. I would probably rearrange those names if I wanted a red carpet look….but when will I ever need that. 

So its a friends engagement party, and its time to get fancy! I haven't met most of the people here so it's a big deal. I guess I get to go shopping to find the perfect dress! Heres some inspiration. 

So many styles..short? summery? boho? lace? patterned? white? am i allowed to wear white? Clearly I would accessorize differently to suit the occasion but these are just some ideas of what to keep an eye out for.
I'm off to let the search begin! xx

So, I dropped by the arena the other day. Had to make it all the way out to Warners Bay...two busses and a 20 minute walk later, I got to the arena where they weren't even going to let me on the ice! Luckily, they changed their mind but I forgot what it's like to skate on real ice again! My blades need a little sharpening but all in all, wasn't too shabby! The coaches gave me a nice warm welcome and invited me back anytime. One of the coaches used to skate in ice capades with my old coach! He even knew the one Aussie I skated with on Disney on Ice. I guess it's a small industry here…however, it gets weirder! I was given a number to call the manager of the building if I was interested in working with the Learn to Skate program, I definitely was so I gave the guy a call. Turns out he is from Port Alberni on Vancouver Island in B.C….just a couple hours north of where I originally am from! Such a small world. 
PS: I finally took the brown off my skates so they're back to pearly white! 

Not a lot of words, just peachy days.
