Ten ways to brighten your Wednesday

It’s the middle of the week and hopefully you realise it’s all downhill from here, but in there interim, if you just need a little something to get you through hump day, here are a few little things to brighten or spark up your Wednesday.

Wonderful WD

1. Visit the Bored Button website. Thanks to Kerri Sackville for this one, I didn’t get anything done for the rest of the day. You will never be bored again, and you might learn something.

2. Take a F.R.I.E.N.D.S trivia quiz. If you are as big a fan of that show as I, you won’t get anything done for the rest of the day. Plus you will feel incredibly intelligent knowing a lot about some fairly silly things. Thanks to Meagan Harding for sharing this link – I’ll take you on any day.

3. Spend some time perusing the H&M Australia website, and pick out what you want to buy when they open on Saturday 5 April in Melbourne. I have a list as long as my arm…

4. Play on Pinterest. You know you want to!

5. Check out these awesome Prada sunglasses I’m selling on eBay. Think of all the outfits your could wear them with! SUCH a bargain. Bid now!

6. Take a walk outside, rain, hail or shine. Sit and have a cup of tea somewhere. Buy a cupcake. ENJOY THE TEA AND CUPCAKE WITHOUT YOUR MOBILE PHONE IN FRONT OF YOU. Just watch the world go by.

7. Create your own ecards for friends. Make them funny, silly, witty, smutty, clever or kind. Go crazy!

8. Consider your next haircut. What have you always wanted to do and didn’t? Take the chop, or try a new colour. See what it looks like before you jump in the deep end with Taaz. Upload your pic and away you go!

9. Pretend you are not at work – you’re just wasting time anyways. Research your next holiday to Paris (where else??) and start planning that savings account.

10. Fill a cart on your favourite online shopping website, then buy a tattslotto ticket. You just never know.

Happy Wednesday!

Style Farm Spring Racing Shoot

When I was a little girl, I wanted to be a princess. As I grew up, I realised that the chance of that happening were slim to none, and so I turned my attentions to being an actress or model. But since I’m not very tall, and not particularly talented in the drama space, I had to push that ambition to the side also, and focus on the things I was good at, like writing and being slightly amusing in person.

In the past few months, my inner child has been allowed out as Meagan Harding gave life to my long buried dreams of being a model. From the shots of me for this website, to my latest Spring Racing shoot, it has been THE BEST FUN to be in front of the camera. I’m too smiley to ever be successful on the catwalk, but maybe there is some life in this would be model yet.

Here are a few of my fave shots from the Spring Racing shoot. I totally encourage you to head to Meagan’s blog, Style Farm, and read about how she styled all the outfits and where you can get them yourself.

And if you once dreamed of being a model – don’t be shy – call Meagan and she’ll make you look like a superstar!

Gok Wan for Target

I’m a Tar-jay girl from way back. I can still recall a pair of khaki coloured shorts I picked up at Target for my Year 9 school camp – I wore those things to death for the next two years. Similarly, now I own three navy blue target cap sleeve tee shirts (yep, they are all the same!) just because I never want to be without a clean one.

The ads for Target featuring Gok Wan hit our screens a few weeks ago, and I got into the spirit of things, making suggestions by yelling at the TV, and making ‘in’ jokes about bangers (and as a girl with girls, I can do that. I hear what Gok is saying!)

So I headed along to the Gok Wan meet and greet last week, just a little bit star struck, and a lot excited about the realm of possibility for the Target of the future.

The Target Australia PR team gave us buyers and designers to chat to about the latest in store collections, but we were all truly loving Mr Wan,             whose charisma and enthusiasm for working with Target was evident – and then he spilled all their secrets.

We talked about the Aussie love of basics, about how Target wants to give teens ownership of their outfits and that in time, Target hopes to put together collections that compete with the likes of Zara, TopShop and H&M.

Gok made us laugh, shared his fashion wisdom and his ‘must haves’ for this season: a stiff white collared shirt; a pair of straight indigo jeans; a pair of good flats!; something slightly unusual, with disconnected tailoring and a masculine pair of trousers, 7/8 length.

Anything in yellow and black is big this year, so check out the Hot Options, Free Fusion and Maax collections at Target to get a fashion forward look for Spring Summer.
