Printstagram

I don't know about you but I am addicted to Instagram. I spend way too much time flicking between filters and posting photos of just about everything delicious I eat, as well as sharing snaps of the places I go and the things I do. 

I don't carry a camera with me, and I never get around to sorting through digital photos and getting them printed out. Recently I stumbled across the website Printstagram who print out photos from your Instagram account! I choose photos similar to mini polaroid snaps and ordered a set. You can choose up to 48 photos which cost $12 plus shipping which was about another $12.

These mini prints are seriously awesome! I plan on writing little notes on the back so I can look back on them in a few years and remember where they were taken!

It took a few weeks for the photos to come but I wasn't in any rush so it didn't bother me. I love my little happy snaps and will order some more once I have racked up a few more photos.

Leopard Spots

So apart from my Pistols, I haven't bought any other clothing or shoes so far this year. I haven't even been making a conscientiousness effort, more so that with the unpredictable weather I have simply given up on trying to put together any new outfits. 

As summer officially comes to a end very soon, for the first time I can actually recall I am looking forward to   building up a winter wardrobe. I usually hate winter dressing with conundrums as to exactly which jacket I can find to keep me warm yet not clash tremendously with my outfit when going out on the weekend. 

I am seeing a lot of neutral colours in the shops which I am loving, but I have seen a lot of outfit inspiration by way of leopard print flats so when I saw these simple round toed babies in Witchery, I couldn't purchase them quick enough.

Witchery Angel Flats $149.95

They are leather lined with a leather sole - remember it is all about quality!

I also bought this oversized knit which I can't find on the Witchery website so please make do with this Instagram picture! Super comfy and cosy! I tried it on paired with my (fake) leather pants and pistols and I was very happy with the results! 

So many things I wanted in Witchery actually......must continue to practice restraint. 

Do you prefer a summer or winter wardrobe? I have to say I prefer summer as there is usually let ironing involved not to mention no stockings which personally drive me mad!

Summer Holidays

The beginning of the New Year brings a close to another glorious three weeks off work! Back to work tomorrow to join the rest of the masses for another year......sigh.

At least there was plenty of this. 

And this.

Oh and this! Can anyone say FastFeb?!

Stalked plenty of adorable cats. 

Did not nearly enough of this. 

Headed out for NYE and had an AMAZING NIGHT!

Wore plenty of cool summery clothes.

Ate plenty of BAD things to ease away hangovers.

Lounged in the pool.

Lounged in the spa.

Lounged in the sun! A whole lot of lounging and I was loving it sick.

Beautiful sunsets.

Breakfasts galore!

No complaints here - just how I love spending the break!

Anybody else going back to work tomorrow? I don't even remember how to get up before 10am these days. WAH!

The Dress Saga

I went to do some Christmas shopping with T today when I spotted a gorgeous dress in David Jones that I thought might be nice for New Years Eve. I decided to try it on as it would only take a minute..... OR SO I THOUGHT.

Because the material didn't stretch and it was covered in sequins it was a little challenging to put on , especially as I went a size down because dresses tend to be a little loose in the chest area for me ( WAH!).  Once I had it on I thought it looked quite nice if not a little tight and lumpy around my butt.

I love the back too, very pretty.

Then I tried to take it off. Hmmm. Getting it back up over my butt was one thing, but for the life of me I couldn't get it over my arms/shoulder/head.

My thought proces went a little like this:-

1. Denial - This dress can't possibly be stuck, I just need to keep wiggling.
2. Acceptance - OK it's stuck. I'm stuck in this dress.
3. Anger- I'M STUCK IN THIS F#@KING DRESS. WHYYYYYYYYY?!
4. Fear- What if I am stuck in this dress forever? I'm going to have to wear it to work everyday. I'm going to be the girl who wears sequins during the day. GET IT OFF GET IT OFF GET IT OFF!

In the end I got permission of the girl at DJ's ( who no doubt thought I had problems ) for T to come in help me wrangle this dress off. After much effort I was finally free, but I'm pretty sure I lost half my skin and hair to sequins in the process.

Long story short, I should have tried the next size up instead of fleeing in my frazzled state. Now I can't stop thinking about it! It was on sale from $399.00 down to $199.00 but of course my size is sold out on the Thurley website! The worst part is I know they had the next size up in store .....grrrr.

So opinions please, should I continue on a mission to find and obtain the dress that nearly destroyed me today?! And if I did get it, what accessories would be appropriate?

Another Weekend Wrap Up

Ahhhh so I didn't manage to post anything since last weekends wrap up. My bad. Here is a wrap up of this weekend. 

I wore : 

Anthropologie striped maxi dress with asymmetrical top. I am into maxi dress' in a big way at the moment, I like simple colours and absolutely NO halter necks myself. So comfy and easy to wear.

I drank:

A truck load of cider and too many vodka sodas. Loving it. 

I went:

Out for drinks with my girlfriends for some pre-birthday celebrations, damn you mid week birthday!

Was so looking forward to downing a few million mojitos but the place RAN OUT OF ICE. No thank you I don't think I will be waiting 20 minutes for my drink, give me a Strongbow ( poor substitute by the way.....).

Our table number is my soon to be age, damn this past year has gone quickly.

I burnt:

Glasshouse Coconut & Lychee candle. So summery, so good. A big thank you to my gorgeous bestie for gifting this to me!

I hated:

The fact that my skin is getting it's freak on and has morphed into a itchy mess! WAH! WAHHH I SAY! 

My mum is sooooo nice and brought me a bodywash from Lush to try help, thanks ma!

All up it was pretty good as far as weekends go!

Thanks for all your good wishes last week, am pleased to say I did pass my exams! YAY! YAYAYAAY! Although they did sent the results to my house early so I was convinced it was a letter of failure and spent a good two minutes having a nervous breakdown before I opened it :/ :/

This week: re-enrolling for uni, my birthday, boy toy taking me out for a super nice dinner on Friday!!

Instagram Anonymous

I like to think I am relatively up to date with social media etc etc, so how did I not know how amazing Instagram is until recently?!

I've had this app on my iPhone for ages, but I am completely thick and thought it was for making your photos look cool, I didn't realise that you could post, follow and comment much like Twitter ( oh how I love thee!).

Now that I have seen the light, I am addicted! 

I'm posting what I am wearing, what I am doing and what I am eating!

I think you all ought to follow me, my user name is xxgillpillxx. I need more people to follow too, so shoot me your user name please!
