Factorie Green with Envy

I go this little beauty in a recent blog sale and luv it. Isn't is a gorgeous lush green?


I striped China Glaze Optical Illusion down one side then stamped with Konad Warm Black. Finished with a coat of Seche QD.



And Green with Envy by itself.



After Googling Factorie, it seems to be a teeny bopper small clothing brand company here in Australia. There is apparently a store in a nearby town I am shopping in tomorrow, so I'll be checking it out for sure.

Irregular Choice Lustables!

I made the mistake of checking out Irregular Choice's new season releases and I went into salivating hyperdrive.


'Oh Ello'. I really can't express how much I absolutely NEED these shoes. They are currently in my shopping basket online....I just need some money to pay for them.


Ice cream anyone??


Maybe I can just glue flowers on a pair of my own?? It wouldn't be the same.....


'Aphrodite'. I'm dying.....dying.

At first I thought these a little too 70's, until I saw the cherries on the front. LUV.


I first saw these on Modcloth. They would be perfect for my vintage dresses and jeans.
So...who is going to send me some money???
 I accept Paypal :)

Sally Hansen Cha-Ching!

I usually skip over the Sally Hansen display boxes while in the cosmetics section as I think they are too overpriced in Australia. $16.95 compared to $5 in the USA?? No thanks.
BUT.......Target had SH on sale last week!

But the GEM Crush display caught my eye because, as like every other nail polish fiend, I am currently addicted to glitter. Cha-ching is completely JAMPACKED full of tiny glitter in Ruby Red and sprinkled with Silver. You don't need any undies on with this baby, she's completely opaque in 2 coats!

Above 2 photos were taken in full sunlight, below picture is under artificial light.

Me thinks the next time Target has Sally Hansen discounted, I'll be going back for more.......

A Very High Tea

Last week I hosted a High Tea for 16 gorgeous ladies. My new fantabulous homemade cake stands came in very handy!



12 hours of solid baking later.


A few of my lovely trios lined up ready for tea.


The gorgeous BF, Debbie.


Hazelnut Meringue Cake anyone??


Her Royal Hostness

Who else does silly stressful things like regularly hosting huge morning teas?
