Geometric Dress, Holographic Shoes, Red hair

So, this is my (unfinished) hair.  The short story is....it didn't bleach.  The top did but the bottom didn't!  Apparently there is too much black in the ends to get out in one hit and by the time you guys read this, hopefully my hair will have been bleached again and looking a tad better.

This Deco inspired dress is from Target!  Sometimes that place can have some surprising finds.  I scooped this one up when it was on sale for $20 last year.

 

The shoes, obviously, are stupendous.  I mean...HOLOGRAPHIC....hello???!!!

I REALLY need a clutch purse to match.  Anybody have any suggestions?

 

See?  Red top, black bottomed hair!  A reverse Ombre??!

Dress: Target
Shoes: Forever 21

Yep, it was windy.

Our Week

 

The girls got SHOES cupcakes brought as a present for them.  Miss 4 was FLABBERGASTED!

 

 

 Our sunset one night last week

 

I attempted a 4 layer polka dot cake!

I took a class with USA glass artist Holly Cooper, who flew all the way over to Australia to teach us a few new tricks.  She made the beads above.  Aren't they exquisite?

 

What the kids think of antique browsing that takes any longer than 2 hours.

Shoes Day! Irregular Choice Mhari

I purchased these bejewelled lovelies during Irregular Choice's end of season sale as a thrown in with another pair.  I thought that being black they would match most things.  Turns out they don't match most things because of all the rhinestones conflicting with my outfits!!

They are pretty tho aren't they?  Notice that the design is of a peacock?

You all must excuse the CRAP in the background of these photos.  We were packing up a garage sale and Miss 11 forgot to tell me that you could see the remnants in the background.  (BTW, garage sales are FAB and an easy way to earn some dosh!  Go clean out your garages!)  One day I promise I will become a 'proper' photographer.
