Loving...

Some things floating c'est bon bon's boat this week.

• Reality tv overload. I'm almost getting my housewives and my masterchef's mixed up. Almost. Honourable mention goes to The Amazing Race Australia... Loved it when the father and son team teared up over the hanging lantern task. Good times.



• The White Company's new candle scents. The calming white rose is just divine. I am trying not to use it too much.



• A perfectly starched and ironed white shirt.



• Acupuncture.



• Starting to think seriously about planning Project Fiji October 2011. Destination weddings - I love you.



• My husband trying to teach an old dog how to high five... Cute but I can't see it happening.



• Twitter for iPhone. I can't tell you how fascinating I find it. I can track my IVF Dr.'s every move. ( In a non stalker/ legal kind of way.)



• Clinique's Instant Facial Masque. So good. Perfect before a night out.
  
  Hope you are having a great week. I am spending a special W tomorrow going Bridal shopping with my bestie. Bring it! xxxxxx

Those things you never do.....

I never go to the ballet or the theatre. And I want to. I missed out on the nutcracker at the Sydney Opera House. It was disappointing. I saw it once when I was little. There is a story here but its embarrassing so I won't tell you. I would really like to go and see Love, loss and what I Wore. Its starting soon at the Opera House and sounds like its right up my alley.

I never go to Pilates or yoga. I want to. I've been before. I enjoyed it. I secretly want someone to come with me. I tried convincing my Gal R to come but she's hung up on aqua aerobics. I need to do the Pilates to be seen in my swimmers to do aerobics. Got it?

I really want to be one of those people who has nice canisters with sugar, flour, tea whatever. All matching. I want the Nigella blue ones. But I need around 20 of them so it would be a bit pricey. I really don't like my unmatched pantry. Its obviously not a huge issue but it bothers me. I just don't ever do anything about it. The intention is there though.

At this time of year I really wish I had organised some charity work. Help at a soup kitchen on Christmas eve. I just never do it. I should. I will.

I was saying to my Mum yesterday, we really should spend one Christmas away with my family at a beach house somewhere lovely. We could have a seafood lunch by the sea. I can picture it in my mind but we don't ever organise it. We say we will. We just don't. Then December rolls around and we think, "Oh yeah... that great idea."

I wish I would print all our photo's and put them into albums. Matching albums from Symthson of Bond St preferably. Get your act together lady.

I would like to start a grown up drinks cabinet situation. Then I could offer you a gin martini next time you come over. Just sayin'.

I wish I would buy things when I see them. Don't buy for an occasion - buy what you love when you see it. I read that in Vogue once and it made perfect sense. I just don't do it. I can see myself regretting a navy striped jacket from Alannah Hill I recently tried on and didn't buy.

So basically I feel bad because I haven't done any Christmas shopping and it has reminded me of all the other stuff I never do. But want to. Hopefully next year I can tick something off my list. Maybe I can go to Pilates on my way to buying some canisters, and get a start on next years Christmas presents. Or I could go back to watching Toddlers and Tiara's. Whatever. x

W is for..

Have you see that show Say yes to the dress?

It combines two of my great loves. Weddings and reality tv. Some episodes are like a car crash. Why why why would you bring 12 people including your fiance's mother and grandmother dress shopping? Call me crazy.

Anyway this show is pure heaven if you love drama and tulle. Its set in Kleinfelds boutique in NYC. They have thousands of gowns. You could die in their stock room and they wouldn't find you till their next sample sale. If I was a bride I would go there. That US dollar is tumbling. This show is definately worth a look.

Happy W peeps. Off to get my new fringe tomorrow, wish me luck ;)

SSB - secret single behaviour.

You know that episode of Sex and the City (possibly 'the good fight' season 4 - I think) where Carrie is dating Aiden and they have moved in together and Charlotte is married to Trey.

Carrie is complaining that she has no alone time in her apartment.

Its all "where you been, who'd you see, what you know."

Anyway the four of them talk about what they do when they are alone in their apartments.

Charlotte admits to studying her pores in a magnified mirror every night before she was married.

Miranda watches info - mercials with Vaseline on her hands and cotton gloves on.

Carrie eats a stack of saltines with grape jelly while standing in the kitchen reading fashion magazines.

She also likes to gossip on the telephone while secretly pumicing her calluses.

Me. I like to watch taped episodes of The Real Housewives of New York City while ironing sheets and pillow cases into hotel standard crispness.

That's the way I roll here.

What's up with your alone time. Spill.

A few things....

I'm in mourning. Tonight is the last episode of The Hills. Ever. Thank you MTV for playing repeats. I heart you.

I feel like I have walked in my Louboutins swinging my Chanel bag with the likes of Stephanie, Lo, Audrina, Kristin and Lauren. When really I've normally had a shower and popped my pj's on ready to watch My Favourite Show. Of. All. Time. They cried - I cried. They laughed.. you get my point. Great fashion, latest tunes. Don't get me started on Justin Bobby...


What will I do without you.....

PS. This also happened in 2004 when Dawson's Creek finished. My sister cried.
PPS. I'm not too devastated... There's still: The city, Keeping up with the Kardashians, Farmer wants a wife and the finale of The Bachelorette. Hell I even love RPA on a good night.
PPS. My 30th birthday plans have started. Yipee.
