A month of hell. Feeling the cold. Stylish Bloggers.


It has been a whole month since I've last updated here.

I had all these grand plans of updating three times a week, maybe more, if I could fit it in, but the universe had its say and instead decided I needed to have a month from hell.

I've been working ridiculous hours these past weeks - one week I clocked up almost 65 hours. When I haven't been working, I've been sleeping or resting. I've not gone out, I've not done anything exciting.

What's the worst bit? I've not been stylish in the least. I feel like I'm letting the team down!

So, I intend to keep this blog going, but for the meantime, I won't be able to update as much as I'd like to.

With that said, lets get on with the blogging.

I'm off sick this afternoon. I went to bed at 7.45pm last night with the shivers and an aching body. I dragged myself into work around 10am this morning and got as far as 1pm before I had to admit that it just wasn't going to happen and I dragged myself home. Via, of course, the coffee shop where I bought the world's biggest coffee.

So now, I can't sleep and I'm blogging instead. Blogging and shivering, because I'm freezing cold but as soon as I throw on something heavier than a jumper, I'm sweating like a pig. It's really frustrating.

I got nominated by Dee over at Dee is for Dreamer whilst I was offline as a Stylish Blogger. I have to share seven things about myself.

One. I like to play The Sims 2. I think it's because it's a bit like playing Barbies on the computer. I get to dress up people, give them a comfortable life and tell them what to do. I like to think that it helps me control my bossy side.

Two. My favourite travel destination is New York City. Closely followed by Las Vegas.

Three. I'm a crazy woman that doesn't really like chocolate. I only eat it when I've got PMS.

Four. I never thought I'd be a very good blogger and it makes me really happy that I already have some people that comment on my blog and follow me.

Five. It really frustrated me when I went back to Australia last year and people said I had a British accent. I really like my Australian accent and I'd be terribly upset if I lost it for good.

Six. I love incredibly high heels and I'm starting to build a nice collection of them but I hardly ever wear them. My famous £4 flats are almost soleless.

Seven. I cut all of my hair off in 2008. I go through days where I wish I never did it (like today) and then I go through days where I think how clever I am to have such a stylish 'do without any effort.

That wasn't half as hard as I thought it would be. I like this award!

I'm supposed to nominate fifteen bloggers, but the majority of the bloggers that I love and follow have actually already been nominated for this award. If you haven't though, I'd love to see what your seven points about yourself are.

So, with that, it's time for me to finish up now. I'm off to chill out on the lounge with a cup of roobois tea and a thick blanket. The weekend starts now...

A trip to Borough Market.

A casual Saturday trip to our favorite London Market.

I wore my favorite JAG jeans that I bought in Melbourne in January, striped cardigan from Primark, Racer Back Vest Top from Cotton On and Ballet Flats from Primark (the infamous £4 flats!)


With a coffee in hand, I was set to go. I can't wear nail polish at the moment as my cuticles are all cracked and gross due to the very cold weather. I can't wait to get a proper manicure soon so I can go back to pink nails again!


With a Diet Coke at the ready, Mr SE3 is rocking out in a pair of American Eagle jeans, Hollister Top and Faux Timberland boots (Thank you Big W).


Borough Market was already very busy by the time we go there. I had originally planned to walk via The Globe pub as I wanted to take some photos there. It is, after all, the home of Bridget Jones, but we were running late to meet a friend and didn't have enough time.


The first stall we stopped at was serving all types of curries and stews. I couldn't eat this particular dish as I am allergic to shellfish. I stopped and savored the smell though and our friend bought a dish and said it was amazing.


I don't like meringues but I did like this fanciful arrangement at one of the bakery stalls.


After a few hours walking around the riverbank, shopping the stalls and chatting away, I bought a (plastic) glass of Rose Prosecco and with that, Mr SE3 and I headed back to the house in the suburbs.
