Autumn leaves and a dress to match

April 13, 2011 Carly Findlay 12 Comments

It seems the only sign of autumn are the beautiful trees. Melbourne is suddenly cold. It seems there’s been no bridging season between summer and winter.

 
These photos were taken at the comedy festival at Trades Hall. Such pretty lights.

And this is a Koko Black chocolate martini. Gooooooood.

I went to the Tell Someone launch today. I am so proud to be a part of this important initiative.

And tonight I went to a movie with my new friend S.


At times like this I wish my boobs were smaller. My dress looks great on but breathing is hard. The sacrifices we make!

And a man offered to hold my jacket before this photo was taken. He promised he wouldn’t run off with it. And he didn’t.

It’s Thursday tomorrow. Pay day. And one day closer to the weekend. Yay!

Oh the dress is Target Limited editions if you’re wondering. Jacket is Temt, boots are London Rebel, stripey top is from Zync, grey top is Temt, and jewellery is a mix of handcrafted, Diva and Tiffany.

    Target Has some fun things & so much cheaper than most other places. The dress is lovely & the stripey top adds a touch of fun!

    I love that dress!! Even if it does present breathing issues, it's gorgeous šŸ™‚ And I love it when the Manchurian Pear trees start changing – so many amazing colours!

    That chocolate martini looks delicious. If I hadn't just come back from eating my body weight in dumplings, I'd be thinking about going to Koko Black on my way home from work šŸ˜‰
