Time for the WEEKEND!

Happy Weekend Ya'll,

This weekend I have been cleaning the house, packing for MELBOURNE, and doing some christmas DIY gifts. As you may know Nicholas and I are going to America in April so I have decided to save money this christmas by making a lot of my gifts. I will do a post for them when I get back. 

I am not off to get my nails done! Which do you suggest?

Holiday!

Next Thursday my family and I are leaving for Sydney and Melbourne. We are doing a bit of shopping and meeting with suppliers. I was also lucky enough to get a spot in Blogshop which I am so excited for! I can not wait to get there and absorb all that Melbourne has to offer!!

This is my kind of Bar!!

Lately, I have been trying to re-design my blog. I have decided that whatever I do it MUST include Confetti!

Which lead me to this image (found on pintrest)

Melbourne tomorrow!

I am excited for this weekends trip to Melbourne. Mitavite (my favourite supplier) have invited my sister and I to a HUGE horse show called Equitana. It is a big trip from Townsville but we are looking forward to it! I will try and take lots of photos for next week's post. 

Until Next time.

Fashion, Fashion, Fashion.

A few weekends ago was the Townsville Fashion Festival. It was the first one ever in the town, actually, it was the first of anything like it in the region! It was great to see the local fashion talent show cased on the cat walk. The organisers did a great job as the event ran seamlessly and was very professional. I loved how different each designer was from the next but how they all tied in with the one goal to make something beautiful. I am very much looking forward to next years!! 
Yesterday was also the 152nd Melbourne Cup Carnival. The race that stops the nation.. boy did it stop business yesterday that is for sure.  The main focus of the race is the fashion. Which got me thinking.. What was your favourite outfit for the day? My favourite for the day is Kate Waterhouse. I think it is because i love everything she wears. For Derby day she wore a very sophisticated dress and structured fascinator so it was great to see her in this gril Gucci number for cup day. If you check out her Instagram you can see a close up of the detail!


I will post next week about our Rotary meeting that is on tuesday! If any of you would like to join us please let me know. Below is the link to the event. We are now meeting at a new cafe call MILK Espresso. It looks really nice. I can't wait.

Until Next Time,
Gracie.

N is 21!

Last weekend my boyfriend Nicholas turned 21. He is a year older then me but because our birthdays are 2 weeks apart there is always a joke every year of us being 'the same age' for two weeks. But now that has changed because he is another year older! 
He told me he didn't want any fuss so i made it 
NICHOLAS' BIRTHDAY WEEK!! 
on the Tuesday (which was his birthday) we had a dinner at his families house and lots of presents. 
During the week there were little surprises  Friday night we had a dinner at a local restaurant and then Saturday night was the big bang! I had his family keep him company while i set up for his SURPRISE BBQ. He had no idea which was great because i thought someone would accidentally tell him. It was only small but i love making a fuss over birthdays. Hopefully this teaches him that next year he should just tell me what he want's or i will do over the top!



This weekend we have the big opening of MYRE and the Townsville Fashion Festival. I will do another post about this next week.
