I feel like I haven’t posted in billions of years and I have so much to talk about!! Conference in Wellington was great – exhausting though and there was no time to catch up with Louise or do any shopping even though this time the weather was beautiful (no wind in sight – or feel or something!!)
I also happened to buy skinny jeans this weekend – when I told David I was expecting the “but I thought you strongly disapproved of them’ look but all I got was a ‘cool!” which was nice. I did once strongly disapprove of them but I think it was mostly out of me not being able to find a nice pair that didn’t make my hips wider than they are!! And so Ladies and gentlemen you are allowed to change your mind about fashion trends and I won’t judge you J I’m wearing them with one of the cute pieces that came in my vintage package. I love this little white jacket with its cute little pocket. I think I’m going to sew a button on just so I can wear it open or closed at will - it reminds me a bit of a safari jacket but in white!!
I also got the sweetest little vintage half slip – it’s beautiful and I love it!!
And 14 vintage scarves for only $20!! Oh yes – 14 of them. My drawer is over flowing and they are all fabulous! I think I can give my scarf buying love a bit of a break now. I tried to take photos so that you can see them all but I’m not sure if I succeeded that well, so you’ll need to wait until I wear them all individually – but at least you got a bit of a sneak peak?!?
David and I are also moving in three weeks time – out to a beautiful house on the bay. It’s about 10mins drive into work but there is a bus stop near by incase petrol prices get up again like they did (and still are although we have been given a bit of a reprieve). It’s sunny, extremely private with a cute little garden, quiet (you can hear birds), views of the water and - wait for it….A
This week is also a very busy week work wise – we had one of the new people start and because it’s getting close to me taking over the managers role there are meetings galore! Feeling a smidge over whelmed – I’m not really a huge meeting kind of person and I know next year I’m going to be at tons of them.
Oh well, have a lovely rest of your day - I’m really looking forward to catching up with all of your blogs, I feel like I’ve been a bit disconnected with the world because I haven’t been reading them each day!!

I think you look awesome in your new jeans! And you definitely scored some sweet bargains there - 14 scarves *wow*!!
lol i sniggered a bit about your finally getting a bath comment lol because i so totally relate haha.
Thankyou for your well wishes also hun. I so so so so so need them *sigh*. Catchup sometime? Because i'm deathly keen and seriously what haunt did you have to go to to nab those beauties! ha? HA? :O
Great outfit. The jeans look great on you and I love the sandals. Those scarfs look wonderful
Wow, your new place sounds like it will be wonderful, how exciting!
That vintage slip is beautiful and the skinny jeans are totally cute on you :)
ooooo you look fab in skinny jeans. btw you and me (and the rest of the commenters ;)) i only bought a pair of skinny jeans three months ago because I thought it was just a fad. But alas they got me in the end.
YAY skinny jeans. I hated them at first too, but now I love mine, although I'm one of those people that is probably a bit *wide* to be wearing them! I'm excited for you getting a bath- I was the same, our last like 4 houses didn't have baths and when we saw this place did I was like "SOLD!" I have a bubble bath every Friday night to unwind after work now :)
I know what you mean about scarves. I have had to ban myself from buying any more. I miss having a bath, I havn't had one in over a year and miss it terribly... Lucky you! xx
I know what you mean about skinnies - anyone with hips needs to hunt VERY carefully for the right pair. Which you've clearly found, so kudos! You look rockin'
aww kute casual look! and you scored some great finds!
I love your new jeans! I'd given up on them for the exact same reason, but maybe I should look for just the right pair.
Also, exciting news about your move. When we moved to Arizona we luckily found an apartment with a lot of trees so we can hear the birds in the morning so I know how important that is. I'm moving back to New York (rural NY) in a week and I can't wait to go house hunting!
You look so good in those skinny jeans! I love the whole look with them, too, especially the shoes. Wonderful outfit!
And those scarves look like so much fun!
Aw, thanks guys for all the lovely comments about the skinnies :) And the bath for that matter - oh how i am looking forward to it!!
Eelie - of course I'm totally up for a quick catch up after your exams before you head home for the summer!!
those jeans look great on you!
thanks for the comment, by the way. yea, i deleted the last blog. i just got bored with it!
xoxo, saorise
I adore that vintage half slip and your outfit looks fab! :D
Looks like you've done very well with those scarves! Such a great accessory, how many different outfits can you create with those? It would have been lovely to see you, but I know weeks like that can be a total write off as far as doing much else goes!
The jeans look fabulous on you.
You look great in the jeans! I need to pluck up more courage & wear mine out too!
