This is a cute little vintage dress I got just recently – its lovely, with bell bottomed sleeves and puffed shoulders (although I was thinking about getting rid of the puffs because I thought they may just be a bit much, but David really liked them and they don’t look that bad really). So I think I’ll leave it the way it is and see how I go!
It’s that annoying time of year when everything is due – new bond, insurance, vet bills, Christmas presents etc etc I always feel rather poor around this time!
I had to take Mocha to the vet this morning to get her vaccination and worm treatments and the poor little thing had to have her temperature taken, I can’t imagine having a thermometer up your bum can be all that pleasant really. But she’s all good and healthy and instead of constantly meowing at me the whole way back I think she was a bit high on worm treatments and vaccinations so she just meowed quietly every now and then to make sure I was still there.
In other news, I just got Christmas presents from this really cool website, Oxfam that I’ve been going on and on about. You should too – its great, there’s a gift for everyone and is most definitely affordable, ranging from gifts priced towards those feeling the end of year money crunch and those who can afford to fork out a bit more. Check it out…
Have a great weekend everyone – I’m going to go to Dunedin’s premier Santa Parade tomorrow, probably not as big as the Macy’s parade in NY though :)

I love love love polka dots! And I know those shoes! I'm pretty sure they're the same ones I have in red!
weird - my boyfriend really likes puffy sleeves too!
Aww I miss having a cat! Mocha is so cute in that tree-climbing picture a few entries below. I love long haired cats.
Cute shoes! I am always on the look out for yellow shoes, really of any kind, but so far no luck.
And thank you for the sweet comment on my blog! Sometimes I worry I am coming off stalkerish to people, but I don't think other people really perceive it that way. A compliment is a compliment, right? :)
The colourful polkadots and the puffy sleeves add a hint of FUN!
I like how you compared Pushing Daisies to Gilmore Girls. I never thought of it that way. I'm such a Gilmore Girls addict, so I actually like the constant talking!
I so hear you about every bill in the land being due at this time of year!
While the dress is cute, I would have to say my favorite part is the outfit is definitely the shoes. I love yellow shoes!
yellow shoe adorable!
that's a lovely dress! it looks good on you :)
the dress is very cute, the polka dots are just adorable... but i love the shoes more! they are so sweet. and that colour just pops against the dress. i love pairing really crazy shoes with an outfit to take it to the next level.
hope you are well, and that you had a good friday.
TGIF, baby.

ps. i wish there was a christmas parade in sydney! i got to see the christmas windows at David JOnes though, which was a sort of mini parade, i suppose.
It's lovely how you matched the dress with the shoes!
Gorgeous dress, I love the colours of the spots and the beautiful yellow shoes are a great match. Porr kitty, I don't think temperature taking would be too fun for them
I love your dress here - the polka dots are so adorable!
super cute dress! I love those shoes, too.
DEFINITELY keep the sleeve poofs. They're fantastic! Glad Mocha survived the vet ... ours become the Evil Felines of Death whenever we drag them in.
Hi there-that dress is just adorable, I love it!
Such a lovely dress! And it looks great with the yellow shoes.
I agree that the dress is adorable! And you look very good in it!

Oh, you look soooo lovely my dear.
The dress is really so cute and you paired it with those great yellow shoes... adorable.

The sleeves are my favourite thing about that dress. Really cool.
