I decided to throw a party for Miss 4 after she requested something that required an excuse for herself and friends to dress in Princess outfits. And I needed an excuse to try out a tower rainbow cake.



The 'outside' of the cake. By the next morning it had started to lean! We had to cut and eat pronto!



The inside!   7 layers of sugary, rainbowy goodness!  Aren't I super dooper clever?!

 

Princess Miss 4 and friends.



I also made racing car Tiny Teddies and Miss F.B brought Princess teacups.



SO MUCH FUN!!



Who else gets sucked into 'no reason parties'?

How could I leave this gorgeous little Burro and cart in the Oppie for $1?? I grabbed him as soon as the lady popped him on the shelf. She looked a little surprised. I am now on the hunt for some 50's lucite grapes to fill his cart.



I scored some more Sunbeam glass mixing bowls for my ever growing Sunbeam mixer collection. Cough *3* cough mixers...... These bowls were $2 and $3 each.



This cottage pin dish and Margaret Rose compact were freebies from 2 glorious old ladies in 2 different Op shops on the same day! I must have looked ultra cute that day.



And another cake stand. I pick up every cheap one I see....a lady can never have too many plates that hold cakes.

OK, it wasn't raining this day but my dress had umbrellas on it! You guys know I'm a sucker for novelty prints and this dress screamed at me from Etsy with it's gorgeous ladies frolicking with brollies print.




And yes, it's still chilly and I needed a cardi.

I attended the Womens Diversification Farm Expo and Miss 4 got to pat Llamas.


Just for Miss Tallulah: 5 new guinea piggy babies! 5 babies to one mother is very rare and Miss 11 was esctatic.......I do feel for the poor little Mum tho. Ouch.



Kids sized chips with sauce in a mini chip fryer basket! I thought it was cute.




Our resident blue tongue lizard banged on the glass until I opened the door. The he crawled inside, had a walk around and let me hold him. I had to take him outside before he made himself too much at home. This is very rare for a lizard to be like this, ususally they don't come near humans if they can help it. I felt very special.

What's news with everyone else?

Jade Energy, 2 coats. Nuff said.

Today for Shoes Day I have my 2 pairs of Hilo's by Miss L Fire.

I fell in love with the style of the shoe and bought it in the Bue and Black colors when ASOS had them on sale. On the foot, however, they look completely different and don't match a lot of outfits in my closet. Hence, they rarely get worn which is a huge shame.

Here are 2 instances of when I have worn them:



I have blogged about these shoes HERE, HERE, HERE and HERE in the past.

Next week more Miss L Fire's!

I'm a smug witch cause I'm wearing Bernie Dexter's new printed Country Cottage dress.



See, it's windy!  And still cold when it's SPRING!  Hurry up and get warm already!  Sheesh.

I have been listing after a chocolate brown holo for years. And I finally found a nice, rich decadent one from Enchanted Polish. This is 2 coats of Vampire's Dessert with a voat of Seche QD.

Zoya Yara, 2 coats. The online swatches I have seen shot this color as green wonderful-ness.....but on me it's just a murky green. HATE THAT!!


Zuza, 2 coats. I LOVE this color! And it's perfect for Summer, I'll be wearing this one often.



Tru, 2 coats. So lush and pretty.




And a blog flashback! This is Zoya Harlow, one of my fav polishes ever and for some reason I sold it in a blog sale. *shakes head at own silliness*. Notice my squoval shaped nails!

You all know that Irregular Choice is my favourite brand for shoes. I am obsessed with them and just wish I could buy everyting! Their new collection includes these:

Woodland shoes with tiny mushrooms and deer? DYING.  I need these soooooo bad!! 


And a circus bag is something that I am probably a little too old for....but I could use the excuse that Miss 4 needs it.

Which ones from the collection are you lusting after?

We had a very small amount of sunshine the other day so it called for a Spring dress......but it was still too chilly to not wear a cardi!  I am so sick of cardigans!




I so love this dress and print. Bernie Dexter is my hero. And my shoes are the bomb.

This little cheap and nasty was found in an Asian $2 shop.  Brand is Blush-amour and has no name, but I felt it deserved a post regardless of how hard it would be for anybody to find. 

 It smells like death, and I probably will die a horrible death if I smelt it long enough, but look at the color....wowee! This is a perfect Wine color for me and I loved how it looked completely different under natural and artificial lights.

Have any Aussie shoppers found this brand anywhere?
