Melbourne's 'IT' Girl!

Who is she?

That's the million dollar question.

.....and i have the answer!

Is she the most popular?

The most beautiful in appearance & personality?

The one who gets invited to every social event?
Is she confident within herself?

You?

Me?

About a week ago, i was out for dinner at this fabulous,

intimate Italian restaurant.

One of my mates was telling me that he had been chatting to a mutual friend recently & they both came to the same conclusion that one particular girl was Melbourne's 'IT' Girl.

He told me who it was.

But i will leave it all a mystery for you, my darling blog readers!

I can't really say that i agreed 100% with who these

2 guys said she was.

I actually thought it was quite hilarious!

Basically, the criteria they were working off was that she seems to know 'everyone,' gets invited to all events, everyone in general likes her & no one ever has a bad word to say about her.

She is genuine.

Will always have your back & you can always rely on her.

A label like Melbourne's 'IT' Girl will not happen over night.

This cool cat has taken her time to build up actual proper friendships that have & will last for years to come.

She's always got time for you.

She has a good reputation & a world of respect from her friends.

Are you intrigued as to who Im talking about?

You should be.

You all know her.

xox
ps- I should probably add, the 'IT' girl Im talking about, doesn't believe that it's her.
I'll never tell :)
It's not who you think.

THE DEVIL aka CANCER.

On a serious note.

Who hasn't been affected by someone who has had cancer?

I doubt any of you would be able to say 'Not I' to

the above question.

And if you can 100% honestly say that, you are one of the

luckiest people alive.

It almost feels like I've been around it my whole life.

Physically I haven't experienced it but personally I have.

A few too many times.

Actually you know what, I've been surrounded by death

my entire life.

Friends. Family. Loved ones.

~As I'm sure you can all relate to~

No one can escape it & no one can hide from it.

Recently i learned that someone who is very dear to me has just found out their mum has breast cancer.

I was choking back tears when i found out.

In that very moment, nothing else in my little

insignificant life mattered.

Nothing.

Not the stresses of work.

Not wondering if that cutie with the amazing smile actually

might like me.

Not a thing.

As I write the rough draft of this blog in my notebook (yes, I actually hand write it in a notebook first & edit it. Old school styles) I am currently sitting in a random cafe thinking & reminiscing about life & the people I've loved & lost.

Whether it's been because of cancer or another unforeseeable circumstance taking someone away too young.

MP3 player plugged into my ears drowning out the

world around me...

...Andrea Bocelli 'The Prayer' comes on.

Bloody hell.

The one song that makes me cry. Always.

*instant tears*

This is too much. I have to go.

Tell those who you love that you do.

To my darling girl friend.

Hang in there my love.

Infinity hugs, kisses & love.

You are not alone.

XOX

ps- I Love You.

Guys Who Wear Trench Coats = Instant Appeal.

Well, in my world they do.

I'am currently being a total hipster sitting at my local cafe down the road from work sipping a piping hot latte'

...ahh, bliss.

My bowl of soup just arrived.

You see, Im doing this whole 'Liquid Diet' thing for 2 WEEKS!

Stupid. I know.

Wanting to kill myself due to lack of mountains of carbs in my daily life... diminishing!

Why am i doing it?

2 Reasons.

1- The challenge.

2- I have an event coming up shortly.

End of story.

Why is it that we challenge ourselves to dumb things like this?

I'll be honest with you, this is not the first time

I've set myself a challenge.

This one time, I was home alone & I wanted to see if I could drink a bottle of red wine in the one sitting.

When i swallowed the last drop of that wine, I was quietly stoked with my idiotic achievement.

Sorry.

I got completely off track!

As i was saying earlier, guys who rock a good trench coat have instant appeal in my books.

Just now as i was walking to my cafe, this random, average looking guy was walking towards me.

He was wearing a lovely black trench coat.

Black clothes from head to toe.

He looked so suave!

...although, i wasn't overly keen on his shoulder length hair.

His style & flair made up for that.

He looked adorable, cute, warm & cosy.

Yes. I know this isn't a full picture of a trench coat, but my goodness how fast i fell in love with everything about this picture instantly when i saw it!

Take note:

The Lips. The 5 o'clock Shadow. The Shirt. The Bow Tie. The Coat. The Collar Up.

Winning.

Anyway, thats my hot fashion tip for men this winter.

Trench coats.

XOX

ps- Collars up gentlemen. Always. No argument.
