goodness gracious.

oh.my.god. i have been busybusybusy since 9am and i'm STILL not finished with my day and it's 10.30pm! i was so busy i didnt even consume any chocolate which is a massive thing for me not to do! My day started with a round of the oppies which moved onto some serious dress altering which moved onto measuring which moved onto posting people buys which moved onto listing which moved onto where i am now. blogging. Not only has my day been massive but my week has been full on too.
i dunno if you have noticed but recently i have consistantly had up to 40 items listed in the store. i currently have SO much stock that neither i or any of my housemates can safely move about the apartment without knocking something over or getting something caught on our heels. so the 'sell all my current stock' intervention has begun. don't be surprised to find some brilliant bargains in the store as EVERYTHING MUST GO!!!!!
recently i drew The Lost Laundry prize which was won by Lisa Beaumont! well dont Lisa who is one of our UK followers.. i hope she likes her prize! Thank you to everyone who suggested my page to their friends! if i could bottle a little love and send it to all of you i would!! i am currently devising a bigger and better giveaway for JUNE so make sure you look out for it!!
the stock i got today is super AWESOME with a whole lot of lacy and velvety fabrics to be hitting the store. I can't wait to get it all onto facey so you lovelies can have a peek! i think June will be a real winner!
the last few weeks have been rain rain raining and i have to say i've been suffering a mild case of cabin fever. at least it's kept me in the house so i can work on listings and improving the store :) on a brighter note we have been blessed with some breathtaking stormy sunsets which i absolutely had to run out and snap!
pledge (our next door neighbour) graced us with the presence of his favourite reptillian friend silvia the snake which kept us entertained for the most of 2 hours. Little did he know that Jodie is not terribly fond of snakes which was rather more entertaining than the snake itself.
i'm super pumped for this friday night because christians best friend who is a DJ is playing a gig at the cross. it has been SOOOOO long since i have had a night out dancing, or even a night out at all. I know i have lots to get done but i feel as though i deserve at least one night out, and hopefully everyone will be there which will make it even better. Also tomorrow i'm having a glass of red with the lovely Sarah Hendo so we can sit and complain about our overly busy lives (she just opened a cafe in north bondi) which i am really looking forward to!
my lovely lady Fiona left for New York this week. She got into an art school and will be there for a few months. I miss her already and wish her the best of luck with everything.
dad's birthday is this saturday. I'm yet to get him a gift. anyone got any suggesttions? Mum has booked us into Toshi's which is my FAVOURITE EVER japanese restaurant. i miss my family i can't wait to see them. My poor sis Karina has had a serious case of the chicken pox i hope she will be better by the weekend!
anywho my eyes wont stay open and there is a handsome man warming the bed for me, so ill leave you with some snapshots of my week.
BIG LOVE xo

why is it so hard to find the perfect pair of jeans?

(coffee and breakfast at Brave Cafe)

it absolutely baffles me how it's so impossible to find a pair of jeans that ACTUALLY FIT. i tried on many a pair today to try and conquest the need for some denims and suited my derriere! no.such.luck. can anybody recommend a brand that has not failed them yet??!

otherwise today was filled with an unsuccessful shopping trip. sometimes it seems that when you picture something that you want in your mind you can't find anything that even comes close. I've been on the hunt for a chunky kinda cardi to keep me snuggly in these nippy colder months and something of the like was just nowhere to be found! you would think that coming into winter cardi's of the chunky kind be would turning up in the fashion world left right and centre!! im headed to the home town on sunday where i will go for a cardi search in the local oppies. i'm sure they will not fail me!

GUESS WHAT! my Lost Laundry splash page is up and running yeeewww!!!.. so now you can go to the web address on my card and actually find something there! it's a strategic page that will direct you to all elements of my business and i'm so stoked with it!!! a MASSIVE thanks to Marky and all the bril guys at macdaddy for getting it all set up.. i owe you guys :)

it's sams birthday today HAPPY BIRTHDAY SAM and i briefly went and said happy birthday whilst he was celebrating at his cafe/store, Porch&Parlour, which is TOTALLY BRILL! how bloody cute is this wooden butterfly badge that i picked up there the other day!!

(wooden butterfly badge RRP$35 from Porch&Parlour)

Anyway peeps i'm pretty tired and i have ALOT to do tomorrow (including photographing the rest of the new range) so i gotta get some Z's..

SLEEP TIGHT XXX

i heart my new camera.

tick tick tick tick. thats the continuous noise that resonates within my head when i know i have 1000 things that i need to get done. today the ticking never stopped and i still hear it faintly in the back of my brain! the list is hardly shorter despite running around trying to reduce it!

i was up early in an endeavour to start sewing. i got through a couple of items before all my flatmates had awoken and brought our place back to life. i also photographed my new Lost Laundry giveaway and posted it on facebook. it's BRILLIANT! you really must enter. i want to keep it all to myself! what you will be possibly winning is a brand new nude angora beret and scarf from Forever New plus a brand new O.P.I nail polish in "coney island cotton candy" all at the RRP of $75! .. the picture better describes it :) so to enter just go to the facebook page and follow the instructions!



Anyway after i tried to get a few things done i went to see Marky Mark (of macdaddy) for the approval of the web page he has designed for me (those of you who have recently recieved one of The Lost Laundry's items will have recieved a business card with my web address on there) which is very nearly up and running.. the address is www.thelostlaundry.com.au and my site should be ready for your eyes in the next few days! ill be sure to let everyonoe know as soon as it is :)

other than working today i have been running around with my camera taking pictures of eveything! even stupid boring things.. here are a few silly examples...

some bondi flora.

our housemate fishbowl

the blouses still to be photographed for the MAY collection

Bondi Sunset (from yesterday)

anyway i desperately need to clean my room! (i know i know i wont do it) but i'm gonna at least try. so i'm gonna love you and leave you. Have a lovely snuggly evening at this turn of the seasons!!

xx

wow.

Today has been a fantastic day. you know, those days that just happen when everything falls into place. I don't want this day to end!! but i guess you wouldn't appreciate the good days if you never had bad ones.
It all started with a morning that breezed. I got photos done for The Lost Laundry store within an hour and a half!! I photographed 14 items in total which would usual take me 2-2.5 hours. After my roll of a morning the lens for my DSLR (which I've had for months now) arrived and clicked perfectly into my camera. It's a canon EFS lens which i scored off eBay (where else) for a very reasonably price!!
Jodie, my housemate, and i then decided to have a coffee and some grub at The Depot where i work. We leisurely sat and laughed and sipped coffee with our friend Clint who is currently in the process of moving to Bondi from Bowral (my home town). It's gonna be so much fun to have him close by!!
The day progressed to a successful shopping trip to Bondi Junction where i managed to score some great stuff! A CF, SF card for my camera, a brilliant new giveaway for all my lovely facebook followers (this will be photographed and posted on facebook tomorrow so stay tuned) and a whole lot of thread to alter and upgrade some of my brill new stock. Oh and Jodie and myself managed to squeeze in the grocery shopping!
With my camera set up and the sun suggesting a stunning sunset i ventured down to the beach and spent almost and hour photographing random things (see photo above^^). It was so beautiful to sit and watch the sunset on a crisp autumn afternoon. I hope there are at least a few more days to be spent like this before winter really sets in!!..
anyway here are a couple piccies of the new range! hope you love it as much as i do :)...


till next amigos!
