Happy Friday!
Presenting, my love list from the week that was!
x The Sydney Blogger's Breakfast/Papershow Event - Oh, why was I ever nervous?! It was fabulous! A beautiful hot breakfast hosted by Sunrise's technology expert Peter Baslina (in all his hawaiian shirt glory!), consisting of fresh croissants, muffins, bacon & egg sandwiches, fruit platters and coffee galore, wonderful company, and an excellent presentation on a nifty little gadget called Papershow, which, amazingly, we all received as a gift at the conclusion of the affair. (It almost felt like a scene out of Oprah: ''And today, you ALL get to take one home!'') Mega props must be delivered to Hollie Turner for organising such a superb gathering - the venue looked incredible (as the below picture depicts - that was just the ENTRANCE!), and it was such a fantastic opportunity to converse with other bloggers and share our experiences. Thank-you, thank-you, THANK-YOU!


There's me on the left there, playing around with the nifty Papershow!
x Vintage Shopping Expeditions - It's a piece that seems to be dividing opinions already, but today I spied the most ludicrously metallic, puffy, 80's gown that I have ever laid my eyes on, and all for $18... naturally, I had to purchase it! It's a bit mental, but I'm too infatuated to care! Expect it coming to a 'What The Frock?!' post near you!
x Changing My Facebook Status From 'Single' To 'In A Relationship' &.. - ... receiving comments such as ''you and the GHD (hair straightener) finally decided to make it official!'' and ''is it with a bottle of vodka?'' My friends. I love them.
x Other Little Things - Shut Up, Vita (one of my new favourite blogs, penned by one of my favourite girls!); my new Forever21 pieces FINALLY arriving (even if one of the items is so CRIMINALLY minimal in length that the only excusable way to wear it would be as a t-shirt!); my puppy returning home safely and healthy after a major operation; afternoon cupcakes; $20 manicures; exactly 4 weeks until New Zealand TODAY; cute name tags with your website printed on them; the friendly girl seated beside me at The Sydney Blogger's Breakfast/Papershow event who said, after asking what I wrote about, ''actually... I've heard of Frock & Roll!'' and advised me that no, it wasn't rude to eat a muffin with my hands; and blasting The Deftones' Back To School while cruising around on a warm, Sydney Sunday afternoon...

Corrine, that breakfast sounds like it was indeed a lovely affair. How many bloggers were there? I imagine hundreds at big long tables like some sort of royal banquet :P
Also, that website you mentioned is awesome, *ahem*, even if there is only three posts on there so far... but indeed, may we all bask in the greatness of 'shut up, vita'. Ha ha, thanks for the mention though :) xx

Ooo lovely week you had n_n. You should do a post about the breakfast for curious lurkers like myself :P
My week was pretty ok, I...:
+ Turned 21 on Tuesday and went to lunch at my favourite restaurant. I loved that place because it has the most breathtaking view of Mexico City.

+ Had my Slash photo shoot (I still haven't seen the pictures!) which was mad fun
+ Little things: sleeping in, playing with my puppy, working out, pink nails, pink parking lot pass, driving,
+iTunes Store MEXICO!!

Congratulations on your breakfast and reuniting with your boyfriend :) Although I have to ask - and I don't mean to sound offensive - is it weird being with someone after being apart for so long?
