I then went to the mall to pick up a pressy for my friends baby shower then headed over there. Was good to catch up, made sure I got some pictures of me and her while shes still preggers - not long to go now! They also had a BBQ so I stuffed myself with yummy food hehe Later I picked up the boy from work along with our new Home theatre system :) I left the boys to set that up and went to a 21st with my friend.....another BBQ too haha. I got shouted all night I didnt pay a cent it was great, even scored a free ride home.
Today ive been very lazy, watched a couple of movies and went to the shoe warehouse and bought me some kicks hehe. Ive wanted some for awhile now to wear with my skinnys when it gets too cold for open toed shoes.

A cry for Help


Right so today is Friday its supposed to be a good day but so far its been shite. I got a rejection letter from one of the jobs I had an interview for.....awaiting the next one. Ive been trying for months when am I gonna catch a break? To top that off too the bf got offered a new job today.....so happy for him but a bit bummed too :( Anywho I wanna whinge about blogging etc I put all my outfit pics on here and on my Chictopia page, Ive had a few comments on here, a few comments on Chictopia and one or two votes for my outfits (If you have a chictopia account you'll know what I mean) BUT Im dissapointed, I know Im not the most fashionable person around but trust me - I dress alot better than I ever used to and im still learning and getting inspirations from other bloggers, what Im trying to say (I think) is that I dont understand why I get f-all comments and votes etc when ALOT of other girls where the same/similar outfits to me?? Ive never been a wear makeup everyday and have inpeccable hair kind of person thats just not me, so is it cos I never really have my hair and makeup done? Is it cos I dont pose for my photos like a model? Is it cos even though im wearing the same outfit as other girls (who get heaps of comments and votes) I somehow just cant pull it off? Or is it just cos my outfits are that hideous? Just getting me down a bit because ive been trying to step out of my comfort zone and be creative (with the limited $ etc I have) and im getting such a small following/reception. I know Im new to this so maybe you guys have some suggestions? What do you think is wrong with my outfits/pics? What can I do to attract more followers to my blog/chictopia? Suggestions welcome!!! Help!lol
To my outfit today - I love my new shirt so I had to wear it again my bad hehe

A note to my followers/commenters

Okay so I am blond and I had no idea people had even commented on my posts!! I assumed I'd be sent an email if someone commented and since I had received none I though I had none! I have had a fiddle with my settings and I will now be emailed when someone comments on my profile so YAY! I just wanted to thank you all for your comments and I havent been ignoring you.

Much love

Another weekend


Bugger I deleted my outfit I wore out Friday night.....oh well. This outfit is boring as cos I was hungover yesterday so I went for comfort. I had a job interview Friday, I think it went well, however they told me I wont be getting the $ ive asked for :( so looks like im gonna have to take a pay cut to get a new job waaaaaaaaaaa. I should know this week whether I have either of the two jobs I applied for. eeeeeeeeeek. James had an interview on Friday too so fingers crossed for him! Be great if he can go back to a mon-fri job. Anywho today im not hungover so im gonna go do some shopping hehe....after ive done the housework of course!
