Sunday Stumble

Hello wide world!

I hope you're happy and healthy?

Some links to round off your week? Let's go!

75 places so colourful you won't believe they're real: I've visited six!

As we enter the Lenten season (although I'm not religious), I thought I'd link to this blog on monthly personal challenges, goal-setting and gratitude.

Infinite Reasons to be Happy & Hopeful  - clearly Alexandra Franzen is a goddess from outer space. If you're feeling low, click here and be reminded just how good things really are.


Little munchkins dressed as fashion icons.

My friend made me a variant on this Japanese lettuce wrap for dinner the other night and it was delicious!


That'll have to do us for today. I'm still awaiting internet at my new abode, so I don't think you'll be hearing from me often. Not that that's a change from recent activity...

Be well!

Another Month

I feel like I blinked and another month flew by. We're already heading into the last week of February, week five of the school term, and autumn is just around the corner.

I haven't been online much lately, and I think I'm enjoying it that way.

I spent a week camping on Kangaroo Island with 65 students from my school.
I've been seeing friends and meeting new people.
I am packing up my home once again to move to my very own (solo!) place. Exciting!
I have been maintaining my French.

I haven't been taking many outfit photos, as I get home too late in the evening. Sigh.
My reading has suffered from a busy schedule; only seven books so far for 2014.
Today was my first run for a good two weeks.
I haven't had regular dinners for a long time due to meetings after school.


So I guess I'm keeping busy. Mostly with work, but hopefully with a new physical space I'll feel inspired to express myself creatively once more. I have been having fun with some new makeup, and am absolutely enchanted by South Australian light and contrasting colours. Now to channel that into producing something!


Hope this year is off to a healthy start for you also.

Daily Outfit: Open House

A few weeks back (OK, last year!) I popped along to a fĂȘte/open house day (have I mentioned how much I enjoy fĂȘtes?!)

It was so lovely to view this historic old house, but more importantly the extensive grounds. They have their gardening cut out for them!

I loved this lady's look!


There was a fantastic atmosphere, and funds raised went towards the homeless.

Wednesday Wrap-up: Today

In order:

I broke the pepper shaker.
I met (most of!) my students for the first time.
I ate sushi that my mom had bought (and a boiled egg).
I looked at somewhere to live, all by myself.
I ran through a spiderweb in the dark, while wearing panda headphones, listening to a podcast about reading.

Daily Outfit: Signature

A combination of red and polka dots is some sort of signature for me.

I also like wearing
  • striped tops
  • red shoes
  • black blazers

It's easy and it always matches.

Daily Outfit: Total Teacher

I feel like this is a total teacher look, right?

Sick of the stylez yet?!

Daily Outfit: By the sea

Just because I'm not smiling, doesn't mean I'm not happy.

More exam supervision is fun! November is a weird month. Why am I in pants, a jumper and a coat?

Daily Outfit: We Remember

Remembrance day calls for this pretty poppy dress.

My photos will get up to date soon enough! I hope! (Would you prefer them all in one hit, perhaps?)

Daily Outfit: Sunday Brunch

Spring is a bit fickle with her weather. Some days we're bare legs and tank tops, others (weekends! Boo!) it's back to stockings and a trench coat (sounds very super spy, right?)

Check out my cat! She's been eating all the cheesy bites.

Had a lovely market catch-up with some dear friends this day, and wanted to dress colourfully.
