When I saw Kate Walsh's dress I knew it looked familiar. So when I saw this J Mendel dress wrap up at Green Wedding Shoes I could put two and two together. I'm swooning over practically all of these gowns and if I was living in the US then these little babies would be on my wedding dress shopping list most definitely.
My First Blog Award
Yay! Today I got my first award from My Spare Thoughts (a simply lovely blog) so here are 10 random things about me....
1. My dentist says I have big teeth - the roots are longer than most peoples and I have twice the nerve cavities of a normal person.
2. My mum and my aunty are my role models and I feel really lucky to have these two amazing women in my life
3. Chocolate is my downfall - Its not uncommon to eat a family size bag of maltesers in under 15 minutes
4. I am guaranteed to cry when I watch Extreme Makeover Home Edition and I am guaranteed to clap my hands with glee when America's Next Top Model or the Rachel Zoe project come on
5. I met the Big A (my now finance) at a school friends 21st party in Surry Hills. I was wearing a black dress with a pink scarf and he had a cast on from breaking his arm jumping out of a window.
6. My favourite drink is a G&T but don't get me near any brown spirits. I can't even smell them because they remind me of feeling horribly sick and throwing up from my teenage years!
7. I think travel is a big part of life's adventures and living in other countries rates high on the agenda for the Big A and I. Next stop America hopefully
8. Most people say I'm one of the happiest people they know. And its probably true most of the time. I like to see the positive side in life and I reckon a smile can go along way
9. To fall asleep at night I work out what I am going to wear the next day or I imagine how I would redecorate my house.
10. I've been learning to knit but I don't think I have the patience to stick at it.
And now to pass the award on! I think you are awesome....

Retro Jewels
I think in a past life I was a 1960's cabaret singer. I have such a lurve of sparkly retro jewelry so you can imagine my happiness to find Etsy seller My Vintage Jewels. Would you just look at these treasures? 
The Big A's Birthday Bike Derby!
I'm getting very excited because tomorrow is the Big A's birthday. And boy are we celebrating! At 10.30 we start on the 'tour de macca' a fixxie bike derby. I've made some cute little flags to cover the street to give the start of the race a festive feel. All the guys are going to ride on up to a harbour beach where the rest of the gang are going to meet them with beers and of course a bbq! Here are some of the pictures that were my inspiration for planning the event.

Home Decorating Tuesday
As Rachel Zoe would say "I die".... Oh Happy Day introduced me to Little Green Notebook and I simply can't get enough! The very clever Jenny is a interior design mum with a sharp eye and a thrifty budget. Here are some of my favourite looks she's created - a divine room for her little girls, pleated curtains from scratch and a coffee table to ottoman conversion - yes she did this herself, what a nifty lady.
