Successful Weekend.

Hello there,

this weekend we did a lot and the best is that we didn't plan any of it.
On friday while I was at work Connie texted me to ask if I wanted to see the Pies beat the Blues as she had a spare ticket for the huuuge match.
Straight after work we met at Connie's work and caught the tram/walked to the MCG.

We were pretty lucky to have an awesome weather that day, the MCG is open so in winter you easily freeze your bottom off and when it rains...oooh you can only imagine hehe.

Here is the sun that was going down behind the beautiful city of Melbourne behind us, while we were walking to the MCG :)

The match was goood and we had good seats close to the ground, the one thing that annoyed all of us was the drunk guys who started a fight with us girls out of nowhere?!?!

We were there with connies mum,lil brother,cousins and aunty&uncle as it is a family event. Going to the footy as far as I know has always been from the lil and older ones, it's not a place to get pissed at and abuse the hell out of who you want to. People like that should perhaps watch the match at a pub and not where they're surrounded by families.

Anyway...apart from them low "guys" it was fun as Connie and her Mum are the most passionate supporters I have ever seen, some times during the match i would actually look at them instead of the players haha.

After a long day and a good long sleep, Saturday started at 10am this time with my mother and Connie of course. We went shopping as my 21st birthday is only 13days away and I still had nothing to wear. We started in Brunswick where I found shoes I didn't really need, they were cute,cheap and only in my size...I wasn't just gonna leave em there lol.

We so gangsta and hip! haha

After having lunch in a cute lil French Cafe' we headed off to Highpoint, a big shopping centre in our area. There I finally found a cute white dress with sleeves which were the main thing i was looking in a dress on my hunt. I still have no shoes but we were so tired we just wanted to leave and go homeee.

Tired and out of energy we collapsed on the couch at home and did a Gossip Girl marathon haha, come on you gotta looove Gossip Girl!! We sure do :)

We watched it till it was time for dinner, which we had at a family friends house. Till dinner was ready we played with the lil kids ... we played with barbies! hahaha it was really funny.

After dinner we went home and watched Gossip Girl again till we fell asleep. zzZzzzzz.......

We had a pretty good weekend, the next big event for us will be Supafest which I would have mentioned in prev posts with all the awesome rapstars :)

till then...

YEAH MAN!

Hey there, any Usher fans out there? Well if there are, Connie and myself went to see him at his OMG Tour at the Rod Laver Arena in Melbourne. It was a pretty good concert! He's still such a cutie and his voice still amazing!
It was a group of us ladies only, that made it even more fun as we could perv at Trey Songz who was on before usher ... as much as we want and not be told by the usual guys to grow up hehe.
But come on, I'm sure even the guys look at usher or Trey and wish they had their abs ..or whatever guys always compare lol.

So here are a few pictures from the night, enjoy ;)

Connie being a bit of a stalker.

(she got a new camera so she was testing it out a bit lol)

and next to me her sister :)

pretty excited to see Usherrrrr! yeah! yeah!

trying to kill some time before usher jumped on...

..shhh don't judge,i'm sure you do that too when you're bored lol.

Trey Songz finally came on stage and he was pretty damn good.

He picked a girl to sing to from the crown and he pashed her too....that girl man haha.

Her face expressions of shock were so funny everyone was laughing, as her face was showed on many screens.

"bottoms up! bottoms up! throw your hands up!..."

He's such a sweet talker and sooo damn cute! 

And when he took his shirt off!well you can only imagine hehe.

Usher also took his shirt off, yay.

And I totally agree, you just can't help to stare hehe.

The two pictures above are from the song 'Lil Freak'

I randomly downloaded that song and straightaway fell in love with it, 

I thought it was just..random so I never even thought that he would sing it.

When he did...well I just went a lil crazy!

That song is pretty damn good,if you look it up make sure you listen to the one with Nicki Minaj :)

In the above pictures cutie Raymond does a lil something for the one he always looked up to,

was inspired by and was very close to.

M.J

At last the whole stage lit up and everyone went crazy to OMG!

It was a fun fun night, I loved that he sand a few of his very old skool songs.

Our next big event will be Supafest which we blogged about last year too,

except this year it will be a billion times better.

All the rap/RnB stars i have listened too since I was about 8yrs old, I was always too young too see them when they came in concert and no one ever wanted to go as they had bad...err I mean different music taste :P

So now they happen to come all at once to Melbourne, I'm finally old enough lol and bought my ticket before christmas last year.

Should be another fun day, you'll read from myself or connie fo shizzle :p

Favourite Perfumes :)

Hello my lovelies.

I was trying to think of something fun to post about, and thought that slowly over time I will show you what my favourite smells are and what I find to be the best Perfumes, ones I myself own and wear everyday.


So for the first one, this is the perfume I wore today...

Covet by Sarah Jessica Parker

This is one of my favourites, and I find myself using this one daily. Its is so girly and floral, but its also sophisticated enough to make me smell good at work. 

I would love to hear all your thoughts on this perfume, and on other. What is your favourite scent?

xoxo

BAD BLOGGER...

So I wanted to take the time to apologise for being such a bad blogger.

Life has sort of gotten in the way, when really life should have been what I would report back to you on here, it should have been the whole purpose and yet...

So I really hope that you can forgive both Nelly and I, and I promise to be a better blogger now.. in fact I will mark to put something on the Blog at least twice a week and hopefully I can stick to it. 

Just know that I am very sorry. 

Now on to some real blogging!

xoxo

WEEKLY WEAR :)

Heya!

We thought it would be fun to start a weekly blog post about what we have been wearing during the week.

So here are some of our outfits from day to day.

And come on, tell us what you think works well on us, and what we should never try again =P

Monday:

 

Connie:

LOL. OK, don't laugh at my face hahahaha. I am wearing Glassons Polka dot top and pale pink skirt.

I love this outfit, it is so Blair Waldorf. My favourite bit is the skirt, it's so flowy and girlie it makes me happy =)

I wore it with my grey stockings cos I didn't want to wear a lot of black with this outfit. And I think the black would have make the look too harsh, where as the grey ones make it lighter and kind of different. 

I even managed to get my hair to look like Blairs even though you cant tell from here LOL. 

(P.S this is my new room... well not so new now, but yeah its pink now, and i love my curtain. though i still need to put that corkboard up rather than just leave it on my floor) 

 

Tuesday:

Nelly:

Wearing one of those skirts with the elastic band which is one of the comfiest things ever! With a cream white top with a little bit of fun lace at the top and a simple Grey blazer.

Wednesday:

 Connie:
I wore another really Blair outfit on Wednesday. This animal print top with frills is so cute and girlie it goes perfect with the skirt, which is the same one I wore on Monday, only in Black haha. 
I wore sheerish stockings.. but not because I wanted to, because my other good ones were in the washing machine =(
Anyways I loved this look too.
NeLLy:"this one is my fav so far, I really like it!I reckon you could wear it out too when we go for drinks or even out dancing, well done Blair" :)

Thursday:

Nelly:
Kinda keeping it plain but my fav part is the coat with the red scarf :)

then underneath I wore a very plain dress with black cardie. Now i wish you could see the pattern on the stockings..they're pretty cool.

Yeah the face is hidden because trust me the smiley face is better than My actual face expression.

It's the face you have when you wait for the timer on your camera to take a picture of you.

Friday:

I thought red looked nice with grey, I felt like a nerd wearing the companys theme color :P

the stockings are awesome because they're sort of random..

In the picture i'm wearing pretty heels which i didn't end up wearing to work because I have to walk LOTS just to get to work.

Saturday:
Connie and nelly going out on a saturday night :)

Nelly:

At a friends Birthday party Saturday night, looks like a skirt but it's a dress.

I haven't got much to say to this other than when i first saw it hanging in the shop I didn't like it but once I put it on I Loved it :)

Connie:

just pick a favourite outfit from when we went out on a saturday night and insert here lol

xoxo Connie & Nelly

From Very Hot!..to a very wet Melbourne

Our unique city of Melbourne is well known for its crazy weather mood swings!

Last Friday we had 28 degrees and Sunshine and then the day after on Saturday it was down to 17 degrees and stormy rain and floods!

On Friday we had our friends Caetlyn 20th Birthday at..hmm guess where we went again??? The Perseverance! haha.

Since we're planning on going overseas next year we have to think of many ways on how to cut down on spendings.

1.Buy 'travellers' if you're heading out where drinks can get pricey.

:p

With the birthday girl in the car on our way there.

yup..another shot in the toilets haha.

The group for the night, everyone enjoying themselves :)

you can't tell but i had 2seconds to run from the bar and back to them thanks to my timer to take the picture hehe.

definitely a bunch of good looking peeps right there :P

Love these last two pictures the most, wish i could have stolen the photographers cameras look at how cool they look!

After Caetlyns Birthday we got home in time to have enough sleep before we had to get ready for Derby Day 

(One of the Melbournian Spring Racing Days where the traditional dress code is Black & White)

Last year when Connie and myself went for the first time it was amazing weather but it got too hot at one stage. This year it was the extreme opposite!It was bucketing down till the streets flooded, it was a very amazing day haha.

Ready to go to the Races :]

Connie having a little lunch break under our mofo umbrella haha.

One of the many races of the day.

Squeezing together under the umbrella but someone just kept getting wet, especially when the wind joined the rain...that was just great...

We had to go inside away from the horrible weather, but it wasn't that much better there.

It was all wet,slippery and crowded because everyone else was hiding from the rain there too.

So we finally left about 20minutes before the main race haha,oh well...we didn't get to place bets anyway.

Poor Caetlyn walking under the rain from the Flemington Race Course....let's hope next year will be better compared to the last two years.

Here we are waiting for our lift under our big umbrella totally soaked!

 ...But that didn't stop us from having our own fun.

When we got home we laid on the couch and watched TV firstly because we were wrecked!

Then sometime later Connie and me fell asleep while leaving Caetlyn alone to watch a movie lol. All that running around in the rain in heels really got to us, once we woke up we played some games on the Wii which was pretty funny!

We had some dinner and called it a night.We really ended up having way more fun when we got home then at the races. I mean it was a great experience to get all dressed up and go to such a old traditional event, but when you can't do much because everything is flooded...then that ain't fun lol.

That's all for today from me :)

A Very packed Weekend!

Hello! This time it's Nelly :)
This post has not been posted due to not having pictures uploaded, and a post without pictures is a little boring imo.

Our packed weekend started on a Friday after work when Connie our friend Caetlyn and myself ate out at Cavallino on Lygon Street. Lygon street is a a street in Melbourne filled with mediterranean restaurants and shops, if you visit Melbourne visit Lygon too :)
The food was great with it we also had white wine, it wasn't the best but good enough.
After dinner we went to Caetlyns work where everyone had left and I started getting ready for the Night. Once that was done Caetlyn dropped me off at a Karaoke place where I had my work colleagues waiting for me to sing...which never happened :P

 

Yeah I'm really shy with singing in front of people unless I had few drinks in me or after I feel comfortable enough with that person. Anyway the night was great I had 5Free drink cards which i had to waste in less than 2hours, so by the time Caetlyn & Connie had picked me up I was..well let's say very happy. Thinking about it now I feel really sorry for Connie & Caetlyn for having to hear my singing all the way to our mate's Birthday.

The Party was at the Doutta Galla Hotel in Flemington, which never went to so we didn't really know what to expect. WOW it was a great great night, the Music was just about perfect the crowd not so much but it didn't matter because we were too busy dancing it up.  They had this special 'Tea Pot' which had...I'm not too sure what but you had to have it in shots, and because it's big and not something you can leave at the bar we had it all quick!

Connie pouring some TeaPot drink in out shot glasses.

The ones to drink it all were...no big surprise, Leigh Connie and I.

Must Toilet shots.

I'm Telling you the best pictures are always taken in the girls toilet, there is just something about them.

Girls catch up on all the gossip, make-up is being reapplied and the outfit is being fixed up. So here it is boys, you always wonder why girls take aaaages in the toilet, of course we don't pee like the Niagara Falls haha.

Here are the Girls looking all cute :)

Last pic of the night,Kisses to you from DDF :)

That mark on Connies head was from falling down the stairs on her way out, just kidding it's a lipstick mark :p

Cousin's Wedding :)

Hello my lovelies! I have missed writing to you all...

So I guess I should start with my apologies for lack of posting in the past month or so...

It has been a really busy time for me, and Nelly as well. So busy that we barely find the time to see each other, and have even less time for us to write here for you all.

Here are some of the things going down in my life, that have been keeping me so busy - it started with my birthday, which i was busy all weekend spending time with Nelly and co, and just celebrating my life :)

The weekend after my birthday was the AFL Grand Final, I cuoldnt get tickets to that game so i was at Sidney Meyer Music Bowl, unfortunately we didnt win that game, it was draw and subsequently that meant we would have to have a rematch the following weekend. So the first weekend of October was also spent watching the Grand Final, though this time i got tickets and was there to watch my team win their 15th Premiership Cup :) but more on that at a later date.

Then this past weekend was my cousins Wedding which is what this post is about.

This isnt really my cousin. You see my Dad's family all lives in Italy except for one of his uncles - Michaelangelo - who my Dad loves and treats like his own father. Anyways, Zio Michaelangelo had two kids Carmel and Joe who both have kids older than us.

Zia Carmel is actually my second cousin, as she is my dad's first cousin, and her son, Andrew (my third cousin), was getting married on the weekend.

I know it seems weird that I would know my third cousins but my Dad is really old school and likes to stay in touch with his family. 

Anyways, this past weekend was Andrew and Janine's wedding. They married on 10/10/10 like 1000 other couples in Melbourne did. It was an amazingly beautiful day. 25 degrees Celcius and the sun shining all day long. The wedding was held at the Siren on Williamstown Beach and it was my families first beach wedding. Of course the rest of the family had much to comment on but i though it was a beautiful beach wedding.

Janine is a Kiwi so her family showed us some of their traditions and even did the haka.. it was amazing. i now know why people would get scared of that. And then the Italians sang the song from the Godfather (we're Sicilian, thats how we do things). There were a lot of emotional speeches, and it was great to hear things about Andrew and Janine. despite knowing they have been together for 8 and a half years i didnt really know them.

The night was fantastic! the weather was warm and so comfortable to be outside, and the music was excellent. They played old school, r&b and current music which made for the best night.

anyways here are some photos of the event. We didnt take too many since we were enjoying ourselves :)

With my Siblings - Dona, Alba and Nino.

Alba and I being silly with the camera :)

Dona, me and Alba - do you think we look alike?

Not the best of photos, but i love this shot of my sisters, myself and my Mamma.

Zia Adelina and Zio Michaelangelo with Nino.

The Four of us again. Look how pretty the beach was :)

What you cant see here is that right next to us there are people who are having dinner at the restaurant, completely seperate to the wedding. So while all the people on the one side were in their sunday best for the wedding, on the other side we had people in jeans and bikinis having something to eat. They kept staring at us as we walking to the restaurant, and we could hear them murmur "they must be going to a wedding" like Duh!

Janine and Andrew cutting the cake. After the Ceremony and photos taken on the beach, it was time for speeches and cake.

with my sisters again :)

Munchin Mikayla. how adorable is she?

My family with the Bride and Groom.

The Groom, His Mother (zia Carmel) and his Grandmother (zia Adelina)

and again :)

Totally photobombed my mum and brother haha.

Mikayla in her jamis but still partying!

Daniela and I hiding our double chins LOL. (she is Mikayla's mamma, and my third cousin)

We're so original :P

Okie Dokes, I think tahts enough for now.

Expect another post to come on Collingwood Winning the 2010 Premiership Cup.

bye bye my loves, Connie.
