My friend and I went to watch the great Brisbane duck race by the river today. It was good to sit in the sun for a bit, but I sat there much too long and I'm now very sunburnt. It was difficult to find shade and we underestimated how long we would be sitting in the sun, not good. Should have had a hat with me.

After lunch we went to the Brisbane Shopaholics Day Out, which was nice to browse for a little while. We went to the 'pampering pavilion' and had the chance to try TK's Lashes eyelash extensions thanks to Louise from Lou Lou Hair Design. We were really impressed with the extensions  so we both bot a kit! It's a set that consists of gel and fibres. You kind of brush on your new eyelashes which is strange at first, but it works right away and it's glue free. It really makes a difference, without mascara!

Left with lashes, right without. I'm not a beauty blogger but thought I'd share anyway. You can order the kit direct from Louise.


Also took the chance to have my photo taken with a giant inflatable duck today!  Was a nice Sunday.

The top has been worn before here, shoes here and bag here. This is the first time I've worn the skirt as it's a new purchase.

My friend and I want to do the Brisbane Zombie Walk next weekend, so we spent some time today shopping in the Paddington op shops (thrifit/second hand stores) to find something suitable to wear. Best place in Brisbane to thrift!
I bought a few things: a blazer, a beautiful maxi skirt, an orange belt, an amazingly bright orange top, this cute belted bracelet and some options for next weekend. Everything was pre-owned so it doesn't break my October "buy nothing new month" challenge, thankfully as I've been so bad at sticking to it! Was really good to spend the day together browsing the different stores and trying various costume ideas.

It was cool in the morning but warm during the day so I tied my scarf to my bag for the majority of the day. Wanted to wear comfortable shoes for all the walking we would be doing, and minimal accessories so I could try things on easily. It's best to ignore sizes when thrifting and just try things on anyway, you never know! I'm wearing a singlet under my tee too so I could try things on outside the change rooms if needed. I've worn lots of these things together before so I knew I'd be comfortable, and I was able to spend more time browsing and less in change rooms :)


The scarf was last worn here, tee here, jeans here, shoes here and bag here.
