Weekend

I am hoping that this weekend will be filled with:

• Catching up with friends
• Watching old movies
• Reading cookbooks
• Vintage Shopping
• Baking
• Pin curling my hair
• Reading lots of vintagey blogs
• Learn how to charge the new camera so I can take some more photos for my blog
• and no study - because I'm now on university holidays!!!!!

I cannot believe how fast my practicum went.  I thought that it would be boring being at the same school every days for 4 weeks, but instead I had a great time and didn't even run out of outfits (one of the other male teachers remarked he had never seen me wear the same thing twice).

I enjoyed it a lot but am glad it's over as I have felt bad about the amount of time I have spent away from my paid work (conducting) and am hoping they still remember me.  I have left them with very close friends though - so they should be playing better than ever before.

The week past

This week has been quite busy.  I have been on prac and had n exam but have still managed to follow all the blogs on my pages and feel inspired to do some vintage hair!  

Here is my hair from last night.  It involved some backcombing, pinning and hairspray.  I also did some Marilyn inspired make-up, with the wings.  I don't think it looked too over the top - especially when I had my glasses on.

The other photos are of my current half-macrobiotic breakfast (polenta with ginger, tamari and a coffee) and the view the other morning.  The light was just incredible - I wish I could take better photos to show just how wonderful it was.

The plan for my first Sunday no study to do is:

• Be the Perfect Housewife and do dusting and washing until the cows come home.
• Do some cooking today so during the week I will not be living on junk - well healthy junk but it's still not great.
• Try not to miss my Beau too much - I haven't seen him for 15 days now - that's the longest it has ever been.
• Watch Mona Lisa Smile
• Hopefully go op-shopping and food shopping.
• Visit my best friend, Christine, will she is at work and get a coffee

Favourite Things

Here are the most recent photos.

Some of of the Beau when I went to visit him at uni and the others are of our naughty pumpkin, helping me to set school lessons 

Daily Outfits

Here are some outfits make-up that I have been happy with lately.

The make-up is inspired by a Pixi-woo tutorial (sorry for the weird angle on the photo - it's hard to take one o your self).

Since looking at e\these photos again, I will be doing more ironing

Birthday Continued and a Wedding Venue

Here are a few more photos of my birthday and place where we are going to stay to decide if we will get married there.  It is Claremont House in Love Dale.

My hair and outfit

Sunday

There are so many things that I would like to do today that have been inspired by all the lovely and amazingblogs I have been reading latley. 

Here is a list:

• Sleep- in
• Have brunch at someone's place
• Go Vintage shopping
• Go to the Macro 70% closing down sale.
• Really focus on styling one room at a time using antiques and vintage pieces.
• See my Marmee and go to the French Patisserie in the Rocks with her to get macaroons.
• Have the Beau home.
• Watch all of Mad Men Season 1 again.
• Go for a walk to Long Reef Headland
• Set my hair.

And now for the boring reality:

• Going to a six year old birthday which has a princess theme.
• Going and buying a coffee plunger to replace the one I broke while on practicum.
• Study for an exam I have on Thursday (argh!)
• Setting school work for the week for my new classes.
• Vacuuming.
• Doing 10 000 loads of washing.

To make this very boring list seem more interesting I will post stacks of pictures that have been lurking on the camera
