I’ve really got to do better with moving things out of frame in my photos ~ the last two outfit shoots there have been things that are distracting in the pictures that I could have moved and saved myself the annoyance!
Anyway, don’t you just love this tree? We have an amazing amount of ornamental plum trees around our area and I just adore them in flower! I call them cherry trees even though I am 99% certain they are not; simply because they look like the cherry trees I see photos of. Spring is definitely making itself known down under; I have a plethora of violets in my front yard that I am enjoying, and with all the trees budding and blossoming I am already dreaming about summer… Blue skies, sunshine and pretty frocks {that I have to sew myself.. > < }. It will be fantastic.
Something else I am loving is finding vintage~styled modern wear. I think this top looks wonderfully 1940~ish, but the tag says Tempt, which incidentally, is one of my favourite RTW shops. I think it’s great that vintage is really trending ~ it means that you can stock up on gorgeous repo, wear it all the time and not have to worry about destroying your really old vintage items. This is particularly relevant when you have a 14 week old baby. {Yes, Theodore is 14 weeks old now; it goes sooo fast!!} Mind you, it’s also a bit of a pain because it means that the price of real vintage items sky rocket, but you can’t have everything.
Speaking of babies ~ I can’t get over how much my figure has changed since Theodore arrived. I have hips now! Sometimes I am okay with it, and sometimes I hate it, but at the moment I am slimming in the of hopes loosing a few extra kilos that I have been carrying.
I am doing the Atkins low carb, high protein diet, but I am also considering it to be a detox. Seriously, I am going through terrible sugar withdrawals! I have been experiencing low energy and major cravings. Gah. It’s awful, which only shows how badly I need to do it to get off my addiction. : S I am currently snacking on Brie cheese and macadamia nuts. Not bad, but definitely no substitute for chocolate…. : P
I am hoping I can make it in one piece; 4 days down and 10 more to go. *dies*
xox,
bonita
