FRANKIE FUN TIMES

        

        

Boy do Frankie Magazine know how to throw a good shindig.

Last Thursday I had the pleasure of attending the magazine's celebration of their 50th issue with my good friend Tania. We learnt many things that night, one of the more important facts being that bingo is a great way to get everyone in the party spirit. Oh, and that there is actually someone on his earth with a sweeter tan than the tall lady herself. Mind blowing shit. 

Above you will find some photographic evidence that we did actually attend the event and therefore I am not making this whole tale up. And proof that I like to dance like a gimp. Mini hotdogs are good too. The end. 

LOVIN' LIFEwithBIRD

LIFEwithBIRD, a store that, for the sake of my purse strings, I should never have set foot in. For it is not often that I love everything my beady little eyes set sight on within one little store.

After what was probably the most annoying hour of the wonderful sales assisstant's day, and putting the same 5 dresses on and off again (and on and off again), I finally decided on this little number for the wedding of Mr Smith's brother in December. Digital print on a silky smooth chiffon base, thank you kindly dress gods for putting this beaut in my life.

The B-A-D part? I'm already pining after another dress from their Spring/Summer line. What's a girl to do?

Oh, and here's  a headless me wearing it in store, for old times sake.



Fuck Yes To Flower Crowns.



With Spring Racing Carnival/Summer/Insert any old excuse here fast approaching, I found it 101% necessary to equip myself with some ruddy good flower crowns. Plural yes. Because one is just never enough. Especially when you stumble upon a nothing-short-of-glorious etsy store, based locally, with colour option after colour option. I had no choice, really.

Mr Smith was horrified, of course, but what does he know? I will wear the shit out of those little headpieces of love, even if it's just to prove how god damned glorious they are. So, here's to you Summer. And sauntering into you with a superbly flower adorned head.

PS You can find the above beauties, among many others, in this here Etsy store (see, I told you, addicted). I will warn you now though, that trying to pick just one is something you'll probably try to do for, oh, around two hours, just before you get the feeling that anymore intense comparisons will make your eyes pop right out your head and you have to give in and get two (or more, I won't judge). Connie, the designer, also has a wonderful little blog which can be seen here. Go have a gander.
