Melbourne Cup - Office Style

Here's what I wore to work today on Melbourne Cup day. I failed at the office sweeps and have drunk a whole bottle of wine. I'm very much unsure whether I should drive home at this stage.

For those of you who are regular op shoppers and those who buy things which you ponder whether you will actually EVER will wear will understand today's predicament. Today's choice is a beautiful pastel purple vintage frock that I can so imagine someone wearing to a Saturday night dance in the 50s but probably not the best length for someone of my height. I decided to wear it anyway incase I never wear it again. The shoes were my original wedding choice shoe.

For a bit of variety, here is the rock dog totally lovin' some knock off ray bans purchased in San Francisco.

Any some work out shots ... these are for you, Megan! My bestie has lost loads of kilos and is such an inspiration. It was so awesome for her to come along to my Friday afternoon pump class last Friday.

Hop everyone had a fabulous Tuesday!

What I Wore Wednesday

Happy hump day friends! I am totally looking a bit dorky/boyish today. I really should have been bothered drying and touching my hair up after body attack this morning as it just does not look good tied back.

I've had these volcom skinny pants for years now. I can even recall when I got them and who I was shopping with. They are a staple in my wardrobe and still in great nick, albeit a tiny bit faded.

In other exciting news, I am now a fully qualified BodyPump instructor! I did my initial training back in January and submitted my certification video a couple of weeks ago and found out the good news on Monday. If you have never tried pump at the gym I encourage you to do it. It's such a good workout and adds a bit of variety to your workout. 

Another thing I encourage you to do ... watch once upon a time. I seriously LOVED it.

That is all. Peace out xxx

oh, and welcome to my new followers. I appreciate each and everyone's visits

Do Your Research

This morning I received an email from PeepToe shoes and decided to check out their featured blogger - Kathy from Shopping Confessions. A few posts in, I was intrigued to visit Grays Outlet from her review - a sister site to Grays Online. I haven't ever bought anything from Grays Online but know others who have. Grays Outlet seem to have pretty good prices on lots of stuff but naturally I've been perusing the women's fashion.

I noticed a brand I had seen sold on Frockaholics was sold on this site and decided to do a bit of research.

• is on final sale at frockaholics for $120.00 with free shipping
• is $29.95 plus $9.95 shipping on grays outlet
• is not available on the darling website but shipping is around $20.00 so it would not be cheaper. They are having a 70% off sale though if anyone is interested.

They have quite a few styles and it pays to cross-reference the item on the darling or frockaholics website as grays pictures aren't the best quality. Who cares though when they offer such great discounts!

Here are some items I'm considering putting in my cart. I do have a swanky hen's weekend coming up in a couple of weeks!

$39.95	Review - $24.95

In other shopping related news I just purchased this ...

Exciting, no?! Well I recently completed my Les Mills Body Pump training and have started team teaching. This Wednesday I think I will be taking the whole class and am really starting to enjoy it. Do you go to any of the Les Mills classes?

Hope you had a great weekend!
