I Am In Love!

..........with my Woolworths app. We all know I have a fear of technology and would be much happier living back in the '50's but I have down(up?)loaded the Woolies app and it is my new BFFL! She saves my shopping list for me, shows me the weekly specials, she scans my regular products and saves them to my list, and I'm sure if I asked nicely she would unpack the grocery bags for me. BTW I saw these were on special so I picked up a couple....even the name sounds like fun! Despite my penchant for baking from scratch, this is my first attempt at these cute little "pies" so I decided to let Betty do the hard work for me. Clever moi!! (If anyone has a real Whoopie Pie recipe they'd like to share with me I would love to hear from you.x)

So, while I waited in the huge Monday morning check out line, trying not to think about the damage I did to my legs in the International Women's Day "fun run" yesterday (how can those two words ever be put together in the same sentence???) I decided to get with the program as so many of my smart friends have done, and buy groceries on line. By the time I had made it to the register and chatted to the girl doing the "checking out" about how drunk she got on the weekend (I will so miss those chats!!) I had performed a "register" of different kind and signed up to the Woolies online shopping website. Can't wait for next Monday!

Aside from that excitement I have another show-and-tell revamp. Remember my roadside find?

Now she looks like this:

I have named her Joan because she reminds me of Joan Harris from Mad Men.....of course.....Off to make Whoopies!!

Fleurette

I want to mention a lovely purchase I made on the week end. Now those who know me may not know this, but those who know me well do know this: I'm a terrible shopper. I can shop till I drop for homewares, craft, vintage ephemera and the like, but shopping for clothes does not come naturally to me.  I think it's the whole getting undressed thing; I'm not a fan of the undress and standing in those brightly lit change rooms surrounded by a pentagon of mirrors....well I'd rather eat my own hair.

That was until I found the Fleurette by Fleur Wood range at Myer on Saturday.  It wasn't actually the clothes that first caught my eye it was the cute little fabric swing tag. Gorgeous!!

In my 1/2 hour window of opportunity to shop before I was whisked away on my "Wedding Anniversary Weekend" I grabbed the first cute dress I saw and raced into the change room (read: walked briskly to join the 20 minute long queue to the change room).  The range is feminine and vintage inspired (well the bits I fleetingly saw were), and very well priced. So....what did I buy?? A delightful little teal and white floral number, very Mad Men in its shape and cut just to the knee.  I teamed it with my little white cardi, black opaque tights, my very old and well worn square toed t-bar heels and red lips. Tres chic!! Well I thought so....Mr.D said "it's not real flattering on your butt" or was that just how I heard it?? Not sure if Trinny and Suz would have approved either, see I'm a short hourglass, not the '50's pin-up shape but more of a Salvador Dali-style hourglass....kinda curvy and droopy. Too much information! Get thee to Myer to check out Fleurette for yourself.....at least check out the swing tag.

PS Poor Mr.D, he actually said I looked pretty...see how I can twist things??
