A daydream lasts a lifetime

Saturday 1/1/11 4:46pm.

I can not believe we have said goodbye to another year. Is is me of did '10 go a little too fast? I did a lot last year but i feel like it passed me by just that little too fast. I don't mind though, as i am way too excited to start this new year. I am way more focused and as I said to my boyfriend today "This year is my year- I'm going to make it my bitch". Not that I am the first person to ever say it, but I am going to make it happen. I want a lot of things in the coming months- and I'm not afraid of a bit of hard work to get there.

I bought a new scrap book today to document a new year. I normally do one every year. So I'm going to continue that tradition! I love keeping memories in a book so i can look back and get that warm, fuzzy feeling! I also bought some Karen Walker earrings- I can't seem to get enough of her jewelery lately!

Here's a look back on my year. I hope you got something out of 2010. There's no worse feeling than feeling like you haven't grown as a person. I feel extremely luck to have grown and i can't wait for this time next year to add more to my list.

1. Kikki-K diary- Brand spanking new!
2. Mimco Keyring- Love the little saying on it
3. Karen Walker skull earrings- FIRST purchase of the year.
4. OPI nail varnish- Still love my black nail varnish
5. Urban Original wallet- Fits so much in it

Here's to an awesome new shiny year! I freaking can not wait for it.

"Bling" is such a horrible word. If i were to use it, i would say "this is my new so called bling". But, i never do use it. If you read my blog regulary you probably notice i have two new accessories. I thought i'd give you a closer look! So here is my new Tiffany & Co bracelet and Karen Walker necklace.

Happy New Year Lovers,

Ally

Machine in the ghost

I kind of feel like a stalker when i wear this shirt with Aggy's face plastered on the front. I love/ admire her. I secretly wish the image was just that little bit bigger, just so it was even clearer to those walking past me. If Aggy knew her face was printed on this shirt, I'm sure she'd be very proud. Who wouldn't want their entire face on a shirt?

The hat: This is stolen... Stolen from Jonathan's wardrobe. My mum even asked "Do you guys share that hat". It was more of an extended borrow for this trip. I have the most hideous regrowth and this little black piece of felt was a very convenient way to disguise my bad hair week. I keep telling everyone that i have balayage, but I'm pretty sure that joke is well and truly over. Sad but true. I think it's time to contact my hairdresser and tell her I'm in desperate need of new hair.

Still not over the comfort of these pants. They're heaven. Conveniently casual or conveniently not...Either way I love wearing them,

Hope your planning some cool things for tomorrow night!

No need for introductions

My new perfume off Mumma and Papa.

I've had it before and I love it. It's a subtle blend of fruits, woods and dry florals. It stays on me all day long as well, which is unreal. Normally i can not smell perfume after the first couple of hours.

Mum really kicked a field goal with picking it.  


This is one of many cool presents i received this Chrissy!

Photo taken by me

lost in this world

Dress: Lucky 13, Shoes: Sports girl, Watch: Nixon,

These photos were taken at where Jonathan and I stayed a couple of nights. The place is called Q-Station, it is on North Head,just out of Manly, Sydney. It is the most amazing place ever. The scenery is wicked; from your room and balcony you look out on Sydney Harbour.  The Q-Station is on acreage so there is so much to do and see while staying there. I know I'm a fashion blog and you probably don't really care about all these details but seriously- the place is super, super rad! Q-Station used to be the place where immigrants in the 1800's were taken to be quarantined before being let into Australia. Since the early days, ownership of the Quarantine Station has been transferred from the Commonwealth to the State Government and it is a reserved part of Sydney Harbour National Park. Now you can stay there! Which we have done the past two years...

I totally forgot to mention that the place is said to be "haunted". I don't necessarily believe that, but
you definitely get an eerie feeling while you're there, especially at night.  We did the Ghost tour last year and right at the end they took us to the shower block where they used to give people acid baths. I'm not going to lie, I got so scared. I may or may not have screamed when the chick hosting our tour intentionally scared me. Far out was I on edge.

You will see a bit of these Sportsgirl shoes as i didn't take too many shoes with me- which is unusual for me. And as one of my readers stated they're "Heaven built in heels. A luxury for tallies!" I couldn't have said it better myself. Normally I try and fit in my entire wardrobe "just in case" I need something. But this time I saved more room for boxing day sale items- I'll have to do a post on what I bought! The dress is what I am showing you mainly in this post. I love it. Perfect cut and length for me. Favourite feature: The back.

I'll be drawing the winner of our giveaway soon! SO make sure you get your last minute suggestion in on my Facebook page!

HEY GUYS!

I have had the greatest time away. Our flight back to the gold coast leaves tomorrow night and I really don't want to go back. If i could be on holidays forever i would be quite happy.

How were your Christmas days? I hope Santa was kind to you all. He was extra kind to me this year. Stoked on every present i received.

We have been hiding out in Terrigal, Manly and Narrabeen. I love visiting family- it's so much fun. The weather for the first half of our holiday was really nice, the second half has been balls. Hence why i have a chance to blog.

I have missed blogging for you all! Because i haven't blogged in what feels like forever, i thought i'd incorporate an outfit post and a photo diary post. I hope you like looking through my photo diary!

I feel like i have put on about 10kg's in 6 days. Copious amounts of alcohol and food does that to you though.

Hang tight for another post soon!

ALLY XO

p.s don't rag on my heading- i didn't have my drawing tablet with me to do my heading.
