Sorry if I offended anyone

Hmmmm I recieved a few emails lecturing me on modesty after my last post and I really don't see what on earth the problem is!! Those dresses I will wear with tights and a cardigan so what on earth am I showing?

Being a Christan doesn't mean being a clone, it doesn't mean that unless I wear an ankle length floral dress and cardigan than my salvation is not assured and it certainly doesn't say anywhere in the bible that fashion is a sin.

If you don't like what I wear then that's fine, don't wear it!!! But please don't send me emails telling me I am dressed as a prostitute when I am nearly fully covered. Sometimes it is far to easy to judge others then look at ourselves.

I am sorry if I offended you and I see I have already lost a few followers but being a Christian doesn't mean being forced into a tiny box that we all must conform to it means being set free!

Some new dresses!!

I know I haven't been posting as much as I should but in my defense I have been really busy!! On the upside the eating plan is going really well. I have barely any cravings for any junk but especially sugar. I am never hungry and always full of energy, I just leap out of bed in the mornings ready to start the day! I only started this as a ten day thing but because the benefits are so overwhelming I think I'll be giving up sugar for good and in the future really limiting my bread intake to twice a week. I think bread just limits my creativity anyway ;) why have a cheese and salad sandwich for lunch when you can have wholemeal penne salad with feta, spinach, cashews and a sun dried tomato sauce.

OK all these above dresses are ones I brought yesterday at a shop for under five dollars each. The black one is a size too small and it is my goal to fit into it before my sisters wedding in November. Now I will be spending a few hours altering these dresses! the necklines are way more plunging than I would ever dream of wearing so that will be the first thing I change. I have a few gorgeous cardigans to go with them already.

My muscles have repaired enough now so it's back to the gym first thing tomorrow! Hope you had a wonderful weekend ladies :)

My wish list

I woke up this morning and everything was covered in ice! My mum rang me first thing to tell me not to get out of bed as it was too cold!

Well I did get out of bed, I needed to try out a new make-up look that I am going to do this weekend for girl at her formal (prom). I got the idea from dolce candy's blog, I love to watch her tutorials on youtube too

Here it is.......

It may be a tad too much on me for me on a monday morning but too bad I love it anyway :) I teamed it with a Jade top, black satin miniskirt, black leggings and black knee high boots.

Whilst Aviva has been making Maps of European countries, I have been browsing my dream dresses for winter.

If the Purple one was just a few inches longer, it would be perfect! Hope wherever you are it's warmer than it is here and p.s can I come live with you if it is?

The dress up box

It's every girls little dream. A dress up box complete with tutu, her mothers wedding veil, various hats belonging to grandmother and an assortment of shoes, and maybe if shes lucky a feather boa, all held together in a wooden chest.

I didn't have a dress up box and neither did my daughter. When I was a child dressing up was not really high on the priorities list for my mother, she didn't even have the emotional energy to read to us let alone for other creative pursuits but that's o.k because instead I fostered a life long passion for reading instead. And as for my own daughter well fashion of any sort has never appealed to her. She has never shown an interest in the way she looks, I can't even recall a time I've seen her look at herself in the mirror :)

However at the age of twenty six I have decided to create a dress up box for myself!!

It is going to house my many scarves, sari's, pashminas and other thrift shop accessories finds that I seem to come home with.

I'm so in love with scarves at the moment. They make any outfit complete and they are so versatile. You can wind them through your hair, use them as a belt or tie them cutely around your neck. I am a big fan of wearing a pashmina and putting it around my head and shoulders and pairing them with a huge pair of Sunglasses so I can saunter down to the Library or local shops and pretend to a be an incognito celebrity LOL

But seriously they look fantastic with everything, it's really just how to wear them. I might write a post on this too. For under a dollar from any thrift shop they can make a plain outfit look amazing.

I'm becoming a much bigger fan of hats too! I have the cutest selection of beret's that will be making it into the box as well. My proper Lady's hats, have to stay safely in their hat boxes but the other ones will certainly be going in my new chest.

So on the coldest of the winter days (and it's been raining her everyday for well over a month) I can pull out a french lace vintage scarf or sequined beret and add some much needed colour to my day.

I'll post some photos of it all soon, I lent my camera to a friend over a month ago and am yet to get it back.

Hope you had a restful weekend!
