Charlotte Frock, I take it all back!

Me doing a victory dance.

Me doing a victory dance in the dress.

The other day I was griping about how I had a dress that seemed to be the root of all evil. It cost a heap of money to start off with, it didn’t fit properly and cost money to get altered, it still didn’t fit, etc etc.

I am happy to say in a completely contradictory tone, that I am back to loving my dress because now it fits!

HOORAH!

Lily Watch #10/Vogue's Best Dressed 2009

Yayyy Lily! Look at how bent and broken she is in this shot. Amazing. It’s from V as part of an editorial entitled ‘Pure Genius’, shot by Mario Sorrenti earlier this year:

The little girl in me really loves the whole ballerina look, so it doesn’t come as a surprise that I love this dress on her.

On a separate note, Lily made it to number 12 of Vogue’s best dressed list for 2009. Okay so being on the list is already pretty awesome in itself, but she was beaten by Lady Gaga (11th)!!! AND She was beaten by Dannii Minogue (5th – I know, right)!!!

I dont’ know who at Vogue puts those lists together but Dannii Minogue at 5th place? Really??

The full list after the jump:

Charlotte frock, you’re the bane of my life.

At the start of this year I went to Melbourne with my flatmates. We were visiting our friend Chris, and going to Laneway, and generally just having a holiday. I had saved up money thinking I would spend up large, but I found nothing. There was nothing I wanted. This is unusual for me. It got to the last day of our trip and I was starting to stress out about not buying anything. It sounds stupid, but I was really starting to feel like I had wasted my shopping opportunity. I had (some) money, and it was there to be SPENT for god’s sake. The logical side of me would say I should have really just held onto the cash and waited until I had found something I really wanted, but I was not logical.

Anyhow, the point is, about 4 hours before we were to leave for the airport, I walked into Green with Envy. and spotted this Camilla and Marc, navy organza ‘Charlotte’ frock (shown above in white). It was beautiful. It was girly, it was navy (I love navy) and it was in my size.

It was also about AU$580. Almost the most money I have ever spent on one item of clothing.

A good day.

So it’s Boxing Day. Shoppers are going crazy. It’s beautiful weather, like 27 degrees outside, and people are out and about. Everything is almost perfect. I say almost, because I don’t know if I believe in completely perfect. But anywho, the point of it all is that it just feels like a good day. Kind of like there’s a positive aura in the air (if you believe in that kind of stuff).

I was gifted a lotto ticket last night so there’s a chance that tonight I could become a millionaire and fulfill my lotto wishes, and I just got an email from Zimmermann telling me they’re now on sale! That means I can purchase my swimsuits because they are MEANT. TO. BE!!!

It’s all coming together people. The Gods are smiling upon us today.

I hope you are all having as lovely a boxing day as I am.

The Lotto Update.

So the other day I wrote about how I was going to get some form of Lotto ticket for Christmas. So far, I’ve had 10 instant kiwis. Winnings? $11 so far. Of all the tickets, 5 were winners! I think it’s going to be a good day…

Merry Christmas folks.
