What time is it???

Ok so its that time of the year again. Its not exactly the annual family vaction but this gal who loves the cold has for some crazy reason headed north. Sure I stepped off the plane like Lana Turner only to be greeted by a throng of short and singlet tees. *insert fainting motion*

From WHAT KATIE DID swimwear collection

So now my body clock is out and its only the wee small hours of the morning and its blistering hot all ready. Time to crack out the swimwear, any vintage gals who can offer some hair tips in this sub tropical heat would be welcome.

You may be wondering what the plan is in this heat. Apart from the surviving the heat, i will be celebrating christmas with family. Ok so it may not be the vintage christmas like days of old but there will be many old embarrassing stories and of course all those photos you had forgotten about.

TikiDoll First Christmas

Well as its close to christmas a quick trip to santa is needed with Mimidoll and KeechiDoll, hopefully we won't get coal for christmas. Maybe I'll take a couple of extra candikanes with me to bride good old santa.

Then after picking up the latest group flying in, its time to start cooking my little heart out for a christmas day. I will be making the not traditional but still yummy cupcakes. Maybe a quick trip to martha stewart is needed to get some inspiration. Then its all hands in the kitchen.

Stay tunned for yummy cupcake info.....

Wet, Windy equals fun socks

Ok so the weather in melb has gone even crazier than normal. After spending days thinking we were all going to melt the cool change has come through and now its rain and wind everywhere.

Not that I mind, I love an excuse to wear lots of layers and have fun. Hence I decided to break out some of my fav socks and have a slight school girl inspired outfit. Hey in this weather you've got to do something to bring the smile out.

Has my make up melted

Well after looking at the beautiful images of Vargas yesterday I was inspired to head to work in my best little "melting in the heat pinup gal" outfit



Today's color was purple.
So purple eyes, purple shirt, fav purple cardi


The plan was mainly to see if the make up would last the 38 degree day we had.


Thankfully it did....must say the amount of trips made to the juice bar
and ice cream stall may have something to do with the cooling temp.
