Netflix Fever !

Morning Friends! 

Ok no judgment please but over the weekend I FINALLY got Netflix! Probably one of the main reasons I wasn't organised enough for a blog post yesterday! Now I know I'am joining the party a little late but holy moly, I need a minute to fan girl. Friends and family have been yabbering on about Netflix for ages but with paid TV in the house already I could never justify the extra monthly cost. 

But my goodness I'm glad I bit the bullet and have come across to the dark side! I have already started three new TV shows and the binge watching has begun. 

This image speaks to me on a deep level ;) 

Ok so here are the three shows you lovely ladies, my friends and co-workers have recommended which I have started. Please please please leave your recommendations because lets be real, I will have watched these all by next month! 

Gilmore Girls 

I heart Rory and Lorelai! Seriously can't I be a Stars Hollow local already. This show is sweet and funny and I'm hooked! Plus its coming back to TV very soon, so I'm desperate to be up to date! 

Grace and Frankie 

This series is reasonably new and has a huge following amongst the Netflix fans. It was recommended to me by several friends and then I read about it on a 'Top10 Must Watch' list. This is a story of friendship, raging gracefully and having fun. This show has plenty of laugh out loud moments and a killer cast! 

Friday Night Lights 

Ok so I started this series and I'm just not sold. Admittedly I'm only two episodes in but I'll be honest I'm not sure its my thing. What do you think? Quit it or stick with it a little while longer? Let me know! 

Like I said before please leave your recommendations, I'll need them stat!

Friday Favourites!

Happy Friday Sweet Friends! 

This weekend I have a housewarming party, my grandmothers birthday and a whole lot a work to get done! But before we pop the Champagne I'm sharing a few of my favourites from this week! 

One 

I bought these new Birkenstocks last week and I'm loving them. I have never had a pair before but I felt like I should join the craze train. They may be a little expensive but they are so comfy and I happen to think their pretty funky! Grab a pair here.

Two 

You all know how I love my MAC lipsticks! Well I think I officially have a new favourite shade. This is Peach Blossom and my new love! You can grab one online here.

On Tuesday I shared a few Pins from July which I loved! If you missed the post you can catch it here and remember you can find all my Pinterest boards here!

My holiday is only a few days away now and we are pumped. So before I leave I would love some last minute recommendations from you lovely folk. Places to eat, museums to visit, anything. Please post or message me!

July Pins!

Holy Moly its August! 

Seriously how did that happen? I feel like July has flown right by and now it is officially the second half of the year #someoneholdme 

At the end of every month / beginning of the next I like to do a quick post of my recent Pins that I have been loving on all month long. These can be relevant to the season, holidays or just random! Today I'm sharing a little bit of everything! 

Words of Wisdom 

If you are looking for a little bit of wisdom, encouragement or a laugh then this is the board for you. You can check out all of my Pins for this board here!

Party Deco and Ideas 

The last few months have been jam packed with birthdays here so party prep has been intense. These are just a few party ideas I have stumbled upon recently and loved. For more click here.

East Coast Living 

In celebration of my trip to the East Coast this month, EEEKKKK! I have been reasserting and fawning over traditional colonial / east coast style. I have always loved this style, hopefully one day soon I'll have a house that looks just like these ;) For now, a girl can dream! Check out similar pins here!

Have a wonderful day friends, I will be back tomorrow to talk my weekly wardrobe.

Life Lately!

Happy August Friends!  

I hope you all had a wonderful weekend. Mine was hectic but fun filled and has left me exhausted! But thats always a sign of a great time. Life around here has been business as usual with work, chores, birthdays, friends and holiday prep. But today I'm sharing a few of the fun things I have been up too lately. 

Two weeks ago I headed down south to enjoy some quality time with girlfriends. We camped, enjoyed great music and had wonderful time. 

On our way south we stopped for lunch at one of the cutest cafes I have ever seen. We enjoyed lunch in the garden and treated ourselves with a chocolate, marshmallow cookie that would change your life. If you are in the Burleigh area you need to pop into, The Paddock Bakery.

This past week we farewelled our sweet Lauren. Who is moving interstate for work. We love you Lauren!

We sent our sweet friend off with a Mexican feast! And it was amazing. Pulled pork tacos come to mumma!

Planning for the upcoming month / holiday / rest of the year is well under way! I spent the majority of last week organising my schedule slash stressing because I have no idea how it is already August! #wherehastheyeargone

We welcomed the weekend with a trip to the local farmers markets, where we picked up some groceries 

And a few sneaky treats! 

Oh and some STUNNING Columbian Roses! Just look at these beauties! 

Finally, we celebrated our sweet friend Katy's birthday with an American themes birthday bash. There where hot dogs, ice cream and some shocking beer pong skills. It was a great night! 

So there is a little insight into life lately. Thanks for stopping by today friends!
