its all about balance + fun nites out!

i went out with some of my many gorgeous friends on saturday nite to a nice dinner and dessert and i won best dressed which is crazy considering i was wearing a jacket that was about 6 years old and very badly custom made! i got a dior makeup bag and mascara for best dressed and got a goody bag full of dior things and gorgeous diva earrings! so i didnt take any pics of my outfit (wish i had now) but i'll put a couple fotos up just for the sake of remembering such a fun nite! i need to do things like this more often!

all us girlies

me & 2 of my fave ladies

dior goody bags! :D

anyways...

ok so i started the year off with this resolution to only buy things that i seriously needed and frivolous, usless things were a waste of money.. i broke that resolution early june and havent gotten back onto it till now, its a new month so i thought i would try it again.. if felt pretty good not buying crap i didnt need.. its also bout not going out too much and just generally being wiser with my money and saving it instead of wasting it.. wish me luck!!

Ladies Night

My goodness, i cant remember the last time i went OUT with all these girls at the same time... ok i lie, the last time we were all out together was my friends 21st which was 2 years ago and that is way too long, but when were all together its still sweer and good like the good old days. We initally planned to have a dinner, dessert & bowling kinda night but it turned into a dinner, drinks, dessert, drinks & dancing kinda night which made me feel my age again, which is nice. Some of these girls ive known since high school, a few since primary & one since preschool. i love these ladies long time.

DVS dinner + shopping

So last night I had dinner with 2 of my favourite girls (apart from my daughters). we go waaaayyy back like "i knew you when you were in your mums tummy" kind of way back and as always, its nice to catch up with these ladies.. we dont get to see each other as much as we used to but when were all together its still pretty much the way its always been, which is hard to find in friends. we're more like sisters. Suprisingly when we discussed what it would be like to live all together none of us could see that lasting very long. hehe..

Before dinner we kinda did some light shopping in a cheap store and each came away with something. Its nice to go shopping with girls who know what you like and what looks good on you. So we head off to dinner and order our steaks. We have serious convos, ridiculous reminiscing, misheard confussions, catching up on the goss, seeing where we're all at in our lives.. the usual girl talk. These girls make me laugh like no one else can. Dinner comes and turns out our craving for steak wasnt as big as we thought it was... we go for coffee to bring up more embarrassing stories from our life long friendship. I've been needing a night like this for a long time.

we take ONE photo all night which if you knew what we were like in our teens is a big deal. but really with our friendship its about quality not quantity.
