Welcome home

Ok so its been its been a long time between drinks so to speak, LOL. Due to a thousand and one things happening in my life my blog had to take a break and hopefully that will be the last of the breaks.  *fingers crossed*

So whats been going on in your life??? Well I've moved into a new store so spending lots of time making it as pretty as a picture as we head into the silly season of Christmas.  Otherwise known as the time when us retailers drink, become exhausted and end up buying our friends and families gift cards as presents as we just can't face another minute in a shop.  Yep that was a heads up for all my buddies.....  Currently I'm spending my days surrounded by ultra cool goodies and tiny tinsel trees; there is even a hot pink one so that may end up on my desk at home.  Coz of course that's what every good office needs a hot pink xmas tree.  

Apart from being crazy busy at work I've been spending a lot of times with my buddies discovering new things and supporting local artisans.  Its no surprise to many that I have been trying to spread the word for local artists and hence I've been given a whole bunch of new music, art and indie movies to enjoy which has been great.  I'm still a massive fan of Tom Dickins and Amanda Palmer and recently received some amazing packages from them both but more on that to come.   

I've also decided to plan 2013 so I can get the most of of the year when it comes to conventions and events.  The list includes multiple interstate trips to places like Melbourne, Adelaide, Sydney, Gold Coast and Brisbane for events ranging from PAX (gamers convention), Supanova/ComicCon/Arrmeggdon (geek conventions) to retro events like Gangsters ball/wintersun/hot rod shows.  Yep so 2013 is going to be one busy year for this gal; but hey what can be better than always having something to look forward to.  

With that said I'll sign off for today and hope to see you soon with lots more news about this wonderful world we live in.

One more sleep

One more sleep and I’m there. If you can’t tell I’m super excited which has created 2 problems. 1) What am I going to wear and 2) Can’t sleep too excited! Both major issues due to my early flight and the fact that after the move I can’t seem to find anything!!!!!!!!

So it’s late at night and I’m trying to find what I need/want. And of course there are so many things to consider….weather, locations, how many outfits do I actually need and of course the biggest thing – how do I fit that many shoes in the bag.

So far the plan looks like this

5 dinners, 3 performances, 5 lunches, lots of catch ups, shopping and hopefully a little sun bathing

At least the washing is being done, and I think I know what I want just actually have to fit it all in.

See all you QLD dolls tomorrow

conference

All this christmas travel has got me thinking about the last time I was lucky enough to stay in a plush hotel.

I was sent to a cute boutique hotel near melbourne CBD and of course the little laptop had to come with me. So it got me thinking about the trouble of packing i go through when I hit the road. My best advice is to think about what you can wear that has multi options. (yes all you virginblue check in staff who have seen my giant case this christmas, I can see you shaking your head from here) A couple of basics with some key pieces can really make a difference.

That and some great jewels that can really bring some sparkle to your outfit and face.
