TURKISH BREAD & DIPS + NEW HAIR

Hommus, Salmon and Beetroot dip with Turkish bread now thats heaven!
 
 
 
Friday was a wash out we had our christmas party at a rooftop bar in Richmond and with the horrible rain that come past all afternoon we were all huddled underneath an umbrella to begin with but by 3pm I dont think any of us realised or cared ha! Was a good way to end the year.
 
  
 
Far too many cocktails.
 I think my photos (or the lack of) show my form on friday.

I've been wanting to go balayage for a little while now but didnt know how obvious I wanted the affect, I've always had a slight balayage look to my hair but got inspired from this photo of Jessica Beal (Or is she now Timberlake?!) her hair looks freaking amazing.
 


I didn't want to go too light and freak out and my hair dresser agreed. so we went half way. My ends are alot lighter than the top. It's been a couple of days (I got it done on Thursday) and now I think I'm already over the colour change. How bad is that? I'll let it ride a little longer. Boyf and the people who have seen me since say they love it and its a good change so we'll see.
My hair looks shocking here as I walked out of the hairdressers and straight into the rain and my hair does frizz brilliantly.
 
 
 
 
 
 
While the boy was away I was able to eat whatever I want and funnily enough I was more creative and had more energy to cook amazing foods while he was away than I normally do when he's here.
1- Chorizo and pasta salad - for dinner = perfect.
 
2. I love this time of year and going into my clients offices and just general shopping centres to see their Christmas tree's I think I love this that little bit extra bcos we don't have a Christmas tree at home (No point.. No will be there over xmas!)
 
3. I swear this time of year the whole corporate world goes crazy my inbox hasn't been under 100 emails since the 1st of December and its only getting worse.
 
4. If we didn't already realise and needed a reminder it was Christmas hows this for a sign at Flinders Street?
 
Wost of all - I haven't even started my Christmas shopping yet. I'm going tonight after work. Please tell me I'm not the only one?

  3. I just started (and almost finished) my Christmas shopping yesterday so you are not the only one! :)
    I'd recommend formulating a plan of attack before hitting the shops.

    1. Plan of a attack is a good idea but the only issue is that I am an impulse shopper!

  4. Good luck with the shopping!

    I was all smug thinking I was almost done (I'm usually a Christmas Eve shopper) and then it struck me I'd completely forgotten my beloved niece, Woops! I'm off to the shops tomorrow...
