Brown Sugar : New Year’s Eve Outfit

Brown Sugar : New Year’s Eve Outfit

 

Brand Ambassador Post

 

 

We’re going to be away for New Year’s Eve this year, and I’m trying to pack lightly.  i try every holiday to pack lightly – I try really hard.  Honestly.  But I always seem to leave half the items I need at home to get the outfit to work, get stumped by unexpectedly hot or cold or wet weather, or overpack.  Chronic overpacker right here.  So I’m trying a bit of advance outfit planning.

I think I’ve come up with a New Year’s Eve winner this year, thanks to Brown Sugar.  I’m proud to work with Brown Sugar as a Brand Ambassador.

Kimba Likes Borne Naked Bagvember : Day 18

Kimba Likes Borne Naked Bagvember : Day 18

 

 

Bagvember Day 18 was the second day of a very relaxed and cruisy weekend – lots of family time and sofa snuggles and good food and steadfastly ignoring the disaster zone that is an overstuffed wardrobe.  When the weather is so variable, I can’t put half of it into storage and not all of it fits in the actual space.  It’s more of a step in wardrobe than a walk in at the best of times!

Photo a Day June 2012 : 1-8

Photo a Day June 2012 : 1-8

1/30 - Morning

A smiley face on the first day of Winter.

2/30 - Empty

Our dishwasher is out of action at the moment – the only reason I found it in this empty state.

3/30 - On your plate

I adore my collection of pretty vintage saucers, thrifted from various opshops and markets.  What’s on my plate?  Pretty vintage designs!

4/30 - Closeup

A close up of a spiderweb on my beloved cacti, with my equally beloved flapjacks adding a bit of out of focus colour in the background.  This was an iPhone photo, so I’m particularly pleased with it.

5/30 - Sign

A sign that I wanted to get off the bus and get to work?  I love the reflections in this shot.

6/30 - Hat

A holiday shot from our April trip to Bali.  My favourite Gorman reversible hat, photobombed by a Country Road hat wearing Boyo.  Cheeky monkey!

7/30 - Drink

Another Bali shot.  All I’ve been drinking lately is cups of tea whilst I’m on endless antibiotics but I wanted a photo of a proper drink – a supersized Happy Hour cocktail special!

8/30 - 6 o'clock

6 o’clock this morning found me today in the kitchen, making breakfast and Boyo’s school lunch, whilst enjoying a lovely cup of tea made by the Welshman.  6 o’clock this evening will find me snuggled up on the sofa with Boyo, watching DVDs and eating takeaway.  I love date night with Boyo!
