A hundred thousand things to do.. and I'm blogging...

I'm a procrastinator. There I said it. It took me a long time to label myself as that- to me it was normal to get distracted on the way to doing something else. No?
At the moment, I have so many things to do.

Our wedding is in 227 days. I still have 1000 things to organise. Stressed.

I work part time at a new job which I need to complete training for (HOURS OF TRAINING) and obviously put in 100% effort. Which is hard when I'm exhausted from all the other things I am doing.

I am trying to also focus on my business (which I'm sad to say is the thing that's suffering the most during this time) FAIL.

I am ebaying. A LOT. For 2 reasons. To clear clutter and unecessary items before the wedding move and to make some extra $$ to put towards it all.. I now have 28 items I need to post. All at the same time. Lesson- do not post more than 10 items at a time.

I am also packing and clearing out 28 years of stuff from my bedroom and my parent's house. Which is emotional. And hard.

ON TOP OF ALL OF THAT...
We are renovating the house we are going to live in. I spent last night (until 11:00pm) sanding woodwork, ready to paint it. I had more dust in my eyes than I thought possible. Back again tonight. On the plus side though, the sooner we do the prep work and painting, the sooner I can do the fun stuff. Like decorating! BEFORE AND AFTER PICS WILL BE POSTED I PROMISE.

So, on this day off, hump day, middle of the week, as I worked out how many things I actually had to cram in to today, I saw this and chuckled. This, for me, is MY truth.



I came across it as, of course I was distracted from something else I was doing..

Happy Wednesday everyone and wish me luck so that I may stay sane through all of this!


Love, a completely overwhelmed Angie.L

Winter Wardrobe

As the days start to get colder and Summer feels like a distant memory (truly, as the last good Summer Melbourne had was about 4 years ago), my wardrobe needs an overhaul. Time for chunky knits, fitted coats, navy blue, ankle boots, and nice thick socks. I also like to add in a little colour to my Winter wardrobe as I feel it makes me happy and cosy! It doesn't ALWAYS have to be B.L.A.C.K Melbournites!


A chunky knit, bold colours and accessories, perfect fun winter outfit!

Opaques and ankle boots- a Winter staple. Loving this coat too.

Animal print. Yes.

Neutrals work amazingly well for Winter too. Look at those pleats!

Scarf it up!

Navy Navy Navy. Love Navy.

Hats in Winter? Oh yeah.

A more casual look, throw in some denim.

Stockings let you wear all your little dresses/skirts even though the weather is colder.

More scarf love. This time draped over the shoulder.

Brights in Winter? Told you it works.

Mix pretty feminine dresses with winter staples. The contrast is awesome.

Another stunning Coat. Yes please.

Have fun in Winter too...

FLORALS IN WINTER?? Uh huh.

My fav. Long slouchy cardis. Mixing grey and neutrals. BLISS.

Oversized. Love.


Dare to play with your Winter pieces and be BRAVE. Layering is the key. I <3 WINTER. Love a cosy Angie.L
