Coastal Dreaming

Hello my Pretties!

It seems like it has been a million years! So much has happened in just 1 week.

Firstly I am writting this post while sitting in my very own unit and Yes I DO love it!! I can hear the beach right now.
We ended up moving in Tuesday after deciding Monday afternoon we should push the real estate to let us in early. This is how I spent my Valentines Day.

Driving to the coast from Warwick which normally takes 2.5 hours but with Dad's driving took us 4!! Once we got my stuff out of the van and up the stairs into the unit we had to go and get my roomie's worldly possessions from storage. She has a lot and it is the 'good stuff furniture'. You know the real solid heavy ass things. A beach view soon felt hardly worth the backbreaking flight of stairs. We were very lucky we had Father Dearest helping out.

Later that night after having enough of unpacking boxes we thought maybe we should pop down to the shops and get a few essentials.
(Before I tell you the rest of the story just remember it was a very long, hot, exhausting day for the both of us.)
We get to the car and realise the keys are not in Roomie's bag like we thought. I did not even take mine and I had locked the door. Roomie did not have her phone and I did not even have my car key. On our first night we were locked out of our own home and stranded.

After unsuccessfully trying to scale the building and annoying our upstairs neighbours to see if we can be hoisted down to our balcony. Which we were informed would be very difficult and far too dangerous. We learnt our unit is impossible to break into without a very tall ladder so we called a locksmith (a very cute locksmith I might add).

After getting in, and taking both sets of keys with us, we went to the shops and bought some much needed alcohol and all the ingredients to have coffee for the morning.

It seems almost as if the Gods are against our new rooming. On the first night we could not get any hot water. Soon found out the hot water main switch had been turned off earlier when we were trying to find the electricity switch.

The TV is only getting 2 channels (neither are channel 7!!!).

We were missing a pot in our set that we bought. (Of course I realised this after I had washed the lot of them up.)

On day 2 the hot water decided to chuck it in so we still have no hot water (don't worry I have showered).

Thanks to Roomie I now have a nice little scratch on the side of my car after quickly learning my car does NOT fit in the undercover parking.

HOWEVER despite everything, all our bad luck, it has been fun and although I miss my Family & Boyfie terribly I am happy.

Now that the house is in some sort of order next on the list is to get me a job. Anyone hiring??

Fashion Week Depression

Yesterday was the start of what is to be a very depressing 5 days for me. Gold Coast Fashion Week kicked off Wednesday afternoon and I'm not there :( :( :(

Too make things even worse L'Oreal Melbourne Fashion Festival runs from 8th March - 15th March. This is another triple sadface for me. Those dates coincide with the Bestie's 21st and the beginning of my course!

Not even my magazines can distract me at the moment. They just keep teasing me with ads for the upcoming events.

Looks like I will just have to amuse myself until August for Rosemount Sydney Fashion Week and Brisbane Mercedes Benz Fashion Festival... Hmmm...

On a lighter note I am super excited for this weekend. I will be working with some friends doing a photoshoot. We have local girls modelling in the local area for a glam rebel shoot. Should be heaps of fun. I'll let you know how that goes next week, you might even be lucky enough to catch a peek of how we went.

I best be off, lots of organising to be done.

Talk soon my pretties!

The Year So Far

Happy New Year my Fab Friends!

I know, I know 'a little late for that, slack much'? Please don't be too mad at me Darlings.

This year has already been an eventful one and I have been keeping myself busy alright.
In the course of about a month I have...

Thrown a High Tea Baby shower for my sister...

Became an Aunty for the second time (on 18th Jan 2012) to my gorgeous nephew Jace Maxwell Duffy...

Quit my job....

Partied for Boyfie's 21st

(which involved some heavy drinking, dancing and may or may not have resulted in someone falling down a night club's stairs flashing one's undergarments)

In the midst I also had Mumsy Dearest's and Sister's birthdays.

As you can see January was quite a busy month for Yours Truly. But now that February has kicked in everything has died down and I am feeling very bored.

Roomie and I are still unit hunting and not having too much luck. The whole thing is mildly depressing. The thought of finding a nice place within a good price range and actually getting it has become amusing. I realise how naive I was a couple of months ago.

Fingers crossed I will be laying on the sunny beaches of the Gold Coast writing these blogs within the next fortnight. However, I will keep you posted.

I will now be putting blog posts up only once a week on Thursdays. Hope everyone else has had a good start to 2012.
Stay Stylish,
