Happy Tuesday from Australia, love bugs. I hope you all had an amazing weekend. My weekend was busy, busy, busy. Lovely times filled with good wine, good friends, delicious cakes and hot wings. I had a birthday party on Sunday night, and I hosted a goodbye party (I was so stressed about it - but it turned out great!) last night for my room mate Heather and her lovely husband-to-be. Such a good weekend! What did you guys do?
This is one of my favorite dresses, ever. About 6 months I became obsessed with velvet. I dreamed of my entire closet being filled with velvet. I wanted velvet booties, capes, jackets, cardigans, pants, tights, shorts. You name it. The perfect item from 'velvet world' never came to me though - but all good things come to those who wait, and here it is, my favorite delightful velvet black dress.
I have loved reading all of your super sweet comments about the ship tour that I am going on. You girls are so lovely. I am getting so excited about it. Its definitely not going to be a luxury cruise, and my packing and space is very small, so its going to be interesting - but its all part of the adventure, true? Hope you girls are having a good start to your week. I did a workout video at the crack of dawn this morning by Jillian Michaels. Man, that girl sure puts you to work! Walking back to my house this morning was almost torture, I felt like my legs were going to break off. Its SUCH a good feeling though to work out in the morning. I need to do it more! I recommend you check out her video...its a good one! :)
Thats all for now...hugs and kisses. x
that dress is gorgeous, as are you dearie! I love velvet more and more, I kind of want to make a velvet mini... except I don't actually like wearing mini-skirts haha.

ReplyDeletesuch a lovely dress! I love it when I'm sore from a workout, it feels like I did something really good for my body! I USED to be able to run a lot but not no more. One of my goals this summer is to get back on track!

beautiful dress on a beautiful girl :)
ReplyDeleteGosh I love that dress! Velvet really is amazing, too bad it's only cold enough to wear it for about a month here..but that's okay because my Christmas dress was velvet and it was lovely!
ReplyDeleteKate what a coincidence, I've started working out too:), love the outfit as always, the tights are dreamy:)
ReplyDeleteI wish you could be here so that we could have endless talks about clothes and fashion and blogging.
Lots of hugs
xo
Aw, cute girl, I'm sad you're leaving!
ReplyDeleteWhat Jillian video did you do this morning?
My mom, sister and I are HOOKED on the 30-Day Shred; seriously, it's like our special cult or something. Ha ha. But even her short mini-workout youtube videos kill. She's such a beast.
Anyway, have a good Thursday, miss Kate!
The back of the dress is pretty awesome :)

ReplyDeleteyou've got an amazing blog!! love it and so glad I stumbled upon it. Love your style too! :)
