I snapped this pictures super quick on my lunch hour as the camera battery flashed, and flashed and flashed until it gave up.  I'm super surprised at how many 'not bad' pictures I got - score.

So I started a new job this week and it's been going really well, but hey, really, we are only on day three, but I'm super optimisitc about this.  I was pretty unhappy where I was before, stuck it out for a year and a half, and was still miserable.  It's so draining when you are unhappy at work.  Not only does it affect your view on going to work, it actually takes a toll on your whole life.  I was literally going into work backwards and counting the minutes till the end of the day.  I tried to do my best, but being unhappy does something to you.  The people I worked with were great though and gave me a super sweet pizza lunch on my last day, complete with well wishes and a few gifts (how sweet is that!?).  All in all to say, sunny skies ahead and I'm really excited about this new chapter in my life.

As some of you know, I design and sell jewellery (online here) and more recently some accessories.  I have been asked to do a (home) jewellery show this weekend and have been very busy preparing and creating a collection.  Here are some sneak peeks of what I will be selling.

George cape, La Senza tank, F21 skirt, Aldo wedges, Le Chateau pashmina,
H&M bangle, mexican bangle, Aldo ring & A.Co Designs Lucky Key necklace

I'm loving the cape trend and am jumping on board.  I purchased this sweater cape a few weeks ago and have been waiting for the perfect time to wear it.  However, I'd actually forgotten I had it, as I left it in the shopping bag (oops!).  While rushing around trying to get ready for a girls' nite out, I saw it out of the corner of my eye and grabbed it and it worked out perfectly.

I sound like... a weirdo.

We went to a wedding reception on the weekend which was held at the golf course where Michael and I met (we both used to work there).  It was kind of neat being back there, bittersweet.  Anyways, the reception was beautiful and we had a fabulous time.  Since we weren't going until much later in the evening, I went out earlier and totally neglected planning my outfit.  When I got home at 10pm, I was going through all my dresses, somewhat frantically, and found this one, on the hanger, of course, but smushed in behind all the other dresses.  I had totally forgotten about it!  I bought it about two years ago and I ripped the tags off the night of the wedding (I love when the perfect occasion arises for something you've been holding onto).
