Friday Favourites: Thrifty Furnishings

So my lovely readers, you know the part where I got married last year? That thing that is incredible but also super expensive? Then I moved out of Casa KB that I shared with my lovely friend B and into the new Casa Salerno with hubs. The moving part was also kinda expensive. And then we realised that other than a bed and a fully stocked kitchen… we really had no furniture. And our apartment has almost no built in storage. Oops… all that meant a diminishing bank balance and spending lots of…

$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

So we were trying super hard to furnish our place to make it comfortable and cosy for as little as possible. I’ll share some other decorating decisions with you all later but today I want to show off our sweet pantry that hubs scored from Gumtree for $80!

Friday Favourites: Headbands!

Far out peeps. The holidays have ended. Boo.

And in other news, this week saw the craziest storm I think i’ve ever seen in my life. They forecast snow. In Sydney. It was a Stormageddon. When I was on playground duty I legit thought the metal roofing was going to pop off the building I was patrolling. Thankfully, we survived relatively unscathed. Nevertheless, I feel that todays favourite needs to be something a little bit frivolous to lighten the mood and soften the blow of the fact that there are still eight weeks of term before the next holidays. So, I thought i’d share the newest addition to my headband collection.

A True Love of Mine: Wishlist

but first, can we please talk about how cute this hat is?

Pink and warm and just the cutest freaking cloche hat ive ever seen.

But its a hundred bucks and therefore over budget.

But this is what I ended up purchasing from Alannah Hill for $20

Too cute right?

I wore it to dinner that night and got asked for ID. I’m taking that as a compliment!

A True Love of Mine: Outfit of the Day

This was the outfit plus headband that got me carded.

Clearly too cute for an adult!
