Yay...more packages

As the year draws to a close I tend to realize that I still have gift vouchers from last Christmas that I need to spend.  No I'm not the gal that forgets she has them only to find them two months after they expire, rather I get vouchers for places where the choices are so overwhelming that it takes me for ever to decided on what I'll get. 

Thankfully I was finally able to decided on a few items from one of my favorite Queensland stores called Berserk.  You may not know who they are so I'll let you know they are a great team based in Bowen Hills in Queensland Australia who have been bringing some of the coolest items to our shores since 2001.  

Plus their service is amazing, I ordered my pieces at 5pm on monday afternoon with regular postage and had them in my hot little hands Friday lunch time.  I mean how cool is that, plus with the parcel ID I could even see when it landed in Melbourne and the postman had picked it up for delivery.  Over all I couldn't be happier.

Right now I guess your saying to yourself "Sure the service was great Tiki but what did you get???"  Well....I got all the items from the images on the left. Yep that's right I picked up a sailor dress, Ariel the mermaid singlet and cute sailor top.  Plus I also picked up a couple of magazines for a bit of quiet reading.   I was also so pleased to find that measurements displayed online were exactly what was delivered.  As I'm sure we all hold our breath the first time we try something on from a mail order purchase.  But yes everything fitted and I couldn't be happier.  So to Fleur and all your team a big THANK YOU as I now have some of the coolest things to wear to work.  

If i only could get this to wear next weekend

From the stunning gals at What Katie Did comes this stunning little number from theirvintage style swimsuit range. With all the style and charm of mid-century swimwear, but unlike its predecessors, is suitable to be immersed in both chlorine and salt water! The fully-lined Sailor swimsuit has a supportive, halterneck top, shaped cups and an authentic, skirted bottom that manages to be slimming to larger posteriors, but create curves in smaller ones!

I think I may need this for wintersun....what do you think

Sweet Treats in the city

As I’m back in my home town this weekend I thought it only fit that I should make the effort to catch up with one of my favorite lovely local ladies, Ms Firedoll. So with a spring in my step and a scarf packed in my bag it was time to head off into the city and have girl time. Of course this does mean eating vast amounts of sweet treats and yummy hot chocolates, but I guess I just had to force myself to do so.

So after a yummy brunch and a good shop around Melbourne it was time to hit the cupcake bakery. The only thing to decided was how many and what flavour.

So I went with the double chocolate and a vanilla milkshake on the side, but only a normal size. Although the temptation to get one of the massive size ones was there both Ms Firedoll and I went for the normal, but yes I did get 4 more to take home. Plus it was a great excuse to wear my new Kitten D'Amour London to Paris sailor dress, with an extra layer of sweetness with my white tulle petticoat.

So big, so yummy, so want it...it apparently will feed 20 people. Anyone want to be their hands up to try and eat this with me?

Ms Firedoll and her lemon Meringue cupcake, a delicious light treat if there was one.
