Hi guys!
I wanted to share two brilliant new things that have entered my life recently.
I know what you're thinking - "TWO new things? Your post title led us to believe there was something old as well! False advertising, I feel ripped off, two new things in combination is just way too much shiny-ness for me to handle."*
But wait, I can explain!
One of the 'new' things is actually an old Mercedes, but it's been given a breath of fresh life in my little hands!
Until now I've been rocking around in either of Mum and Ondy's two work vans, but I decided it was time for my own vehicle when we came across this beauty sitting on the roadside. It was test driven two nights in a row, and evaluated by my mechanic-minded relative, before I allowed myself to fall in love with it.
I handed over $1500 and a bottle of boysenberry port to the lovely English guy [who wished to sell it for traveling funds] and here we are!
I'm actually a sucker for old cars - they have so much more character than the masses of cheaply-made cars of today.
This one has all kinds of quirky little things to love about it: a sweet retro brown interior; a start up key switch on the left of the wheel; a windscreen wiper that darts all over the place like it's on steroids... oh and a little first-aid kit on the back dash! If I ever crash, I'll be reaching for those band-aids right away. :D
Secondly, dun dun dun dahhh!! My brand new dress from Modcloth arrived today.
See, I'm flailing my arms. I tend to do that in moments of excitement.
It came with a hat and some sweet teal tights, as pictured below. All amazing quality, so I'm feeling very successful for my first-ever internet purchase. My bank account could cross into dangerous waters from here.
Amazing green-yellow lace
Anyway that's all in terms of updates from my life for now.
Sorry I haven't really written much lately... just working on some big changes!
Will fill you in as soon as I can.
You stay classy, San Diego.

*Note: I know 'shininess' is a real and appropriate word, but somehow this spelling looks so wrong!
Both of these beautiful things cannot compare to, yet somehow compliment your pure and glowing beauty.
ReplyDeleteI cannot wait to see your dress in person. I am not sure that I will ever meet your car but I need to know what name you have decided on and more pictures.. please :)
:o Thanks Narelle! I am flattered by your kind words.
ReplyDeleteHaha that's so funny that you talk about names for cars - I laughed at Mum when she asked what I'm calling it, but the truth is my bug was called Boris (?! Why, I don't know... :P), and your car is called Stella isn't it? It's a pretty common thing to do! :P
I shall take some more photos when the sun comes out some more. xx
It needs a name or else it never truly belongs to you. All of my cars names have started out 'temporary'.. (proving the strange commitment issues I have.. strange because I have been with Landon for so long and own a house with him?!?!) But the vehicles names, they always stick!!
