I am too cold and deliveries and outfits and OH thats about it.

Okay so I have decided I am going away.  FAR FAR AWAY - anywhere to escape this god AWFUL Ballarat weather.  Seriously.  Each morning I head out to my car only to be confronted with a frost-covered Citroen; one day I am certain I will find the doors frozen shut.  I eat breakfast at the kitchen table alternating between eating and blowing condensation.   I wear my dressing gown until the minute I have to leave the house, and take exactly 2.5 seconds to get dressed in order to prevent frostbite.  OH the joy.

Instead - I wish for here:

Or here:

Or even here:

Move over pooch - give me some of that sun.  Basically my wish is for anywhere where the mercury ISN'T dipping below zero.  WAH.

SOOO exciting news.  Today, deliveries arrived.  WOOT:

Three in one hit - must be my lucky day.  Contained:

1x Asos swan print short (eeep it is super cute and cannot wait to wear this guy!); 1x Topshop black and white chunky knit cropped jumper (super warm, snuggly and just PERFECT for this freezing weather) and to top it all off 1x AMAZING Tato + Memi boucle sleeve silk blazer.  LOVE.

And - this delivery came in a special beige packing, akin to an online order.  Interesting I thought - I have not placed an online order of late (although I do have three 'bags' ready to go at this point in time - hello The Iconic, Surf Stitch and Asos). Hmmm.  On closer inspection - there was a 'Grazia' logo on said bag.  Postage paid Grazia Product Department? UH wtf? Has someone accidentally sent me a PR sample?  There was a sender's name on the bag.  Opening the bag... it was the Tato and Memi blazer.  SO - someone at Grazia once owned this fabulous jacket - which has made me love it so much more.  In a surprising bout of quick thinking - I remembered an old copy of Grazia I had left in the lunch room.  Raced out and opened to the staff listing, and there was my seller.  Rather close to the top of the listing might I add.  WOOT.  Maybe I could get her to read my blog...? EXPOSURE!

Cant WAIT to wear it now - it is almost like someone famous has touched it.  Almost.

Close enough for me!

OH.  Started my new job yesterday, so I redid my desk.  New job, new stationary.  Here:

Going for a bronze, cream and black theme.. OOH lala. I do love stationary.

So totally missed yesterdays outfit post.  Not super interesting but really cannot buck tradition - as basically if you have been on board you have viewed my every outfit for the last seven months.  So you would know that I often repeat myself, have a growing penchant for black wet look jeans, wear way too much beige and did I mention the black wet look jeans?  Oh right - of course I did.  I think I dream about them.

yesterday:

star print jacket - Zara (eBay) / leopard print tee - Sass and Bide (eBay) / felt fedora (Mimco) / black wet look skinnies - Neon Blonde (eBay) / tan wedge heels - Tony Bianco (eBay)

today:

black grosgrain blazer - Sussan (Sussan on sale) / bat print tee - Zoe Karssner (eBay) / felt fedora (Mimco) / taupe canvas skinnies - Bettina Liano (eBay) / tan spliced wedge heels - Country Road (eBay)

I should so be sponsored by eBay; I am a walking advertisement.  Totes.

Sometimes OH findettes I do wish I had more interesting outfits to show you.  I know my week day smart business casual attire often lacks inspiration is is totally not utilising my love of clothes, my passion for styling or even the full extent of my wardrobe - but my hands are tied.  This is as good as I can get it - without looking like a complete freak in the office.  I do have a whole lot more to give - just don't expect it anytime soon.

Better get back to work... lunch time has gone on for way too long.

FFIFY xxxxx

PS - my toe hurts.
