Bitter Sweet Revenge x x


Still cant get over the weekend that just passed very un expected. funny memories. I had my ex's sisters 30th birthday. Didn't get to take many photos because i feel the night just flew by. i had 3 things on that night and only made it to 2. time just fly's especially when u have several wines.
My gf Soph came with me to this party especially when it could've been awkward. I wasn't scared at all. because i dont doubt myself in anyway but you never know how things could turn pear shaped.
Walked straight in there wanting to go Straight to the birthday girl giving her my little gift i made for her. Was little excited to give it to her. since i kinda struggle to find her a perfect gift that was me but not just a typical present like Tiffany's. We both like each others Style but i wanted to give her something that she would keep and always remember as something to look back on and whats most important. seems a little clechaie  however i didn't want her to have it as though always remember its from me. more the fact that one thing is important and its your life. I had bought her a long necklace with a locket that you can open up or place a photo inside. I bought a little pendent of a bicycle to go with it. so cute the little wheels move on it. however i engraved the word "Happy" inside it. So one day in the future if she ever doubts herself  ever she should look back at it and know whats more important. Her life her happiness.

So back to what i intended to share was as soon as i walked through the door, he was there.Standing directly opposite me about 3 meters away from where i was standing. It was as though everything just froze in that moment. Was silence could hear nothing. Could see no one. was just us however. You could just see he was so shocked to see me. i think he really thought i didn't have the guts to show up. Because mid last year him & his sister had their house warming, where i use to live. We had our first little break up if thats what its called and invited me to come but i just didn't show. thought it would be to wierd. Having there house warming in my old place and we weren't anything at that point.
Thats another little chapter.
However this time he was more shocked and surprised because a week or two ago he admitted to me saying he cant be friends with me anymore so the last message was sorry and goodbye. 
Which i find a little pathetic however what else can i do other than respect what he wishes.  You cant force someone to be there friend. Just frustrating because we were hanging out again and its as though we get along to well then something happens  as though im disappointed. i get get annoyed or little frustrated but im not devastated and going to hold it against him so hence why i find the whole thing pathetic. Clearly doesn't know me that well. thats when the saying comes in everything happens for a reason. but at the same time i dont honestly believe that because its each to there own lives and everyone can make something of it if they want it so badly. 
the night was going lovely caught up with his friends which i miss because they are so lovely to chat to. easy going. they make you feel welcome. which is really sweet of them.
All his friends came up to me which i thought was lovely i kind of just sat there with Soph making sure she felt comfortable and we all just moved around and sat and chatted. 
What i dont understand and find annoying is that Soph caught him out looking at what i was doing. Then later on one of the guys that was  there for the birthday was sitting talking to me and we were just chatting and the guy kept asking me is there a particular reason why he keeps looking over. What am i suppose to say " umm not quiet sure"   Mind you still not one hello yet. did not come up to me at all. i was ok with that. however doesn't give you the right to keep looking over your shoulder.
Already i felt like it must be annoying me but at the same time it shouldn't be my problem anymore because he made it official that we cant be friends
So moment after the awkwardness of him asking why is he looking over. The guy just kissed me!! randomly. its always nice when its unexpected but depending on who it is and the moment its in. At this moment i was just shocked and was still. i froze. I felt like perfect revenge but even that word is so harsh however. i felt so bad but good. but was just all to much i thought. thats not one i intended to happen at all however it did feel like i was in a movie or a Bridget Jones moment. As though liberating music would come on at that very moment.




Armani Christmas Party

On Monday night we had our Christmas dinner with all the Stores. Giorgio Armani & Emporio Armani from Collins Street and  our Store.
Katheryn, Nazneen & i were all working during the day. Was such a long full on day because our general Manager who is in charge of Armani Australia-Mary. Came in at lunchtime and stayed till close and even later. We close our store at 6pm however so much needed doing and she was very lovely and help full and understanding. But by this stage all of us girls were exhausted we just wanted to relax and get changed. Mary Son harry her youngest came in to help us out a little to which was sweet of him. to help his mum out with her work. We were altering and changing our manic ens in the window.Still so much was left to do the following day. However it was getting late and by this stage it was 7pm and our Christmas party/dinner was booked for 7pm. Mary apologized several times for holding us back. which was really sweet and unnecessary because this is a dinner she has organised and payed for and she will be accompanier us. So it was more like dont apologise when your holding a beautiful thought of hosting us a lovely dinner for all of your staff in Melbourne with beautiful food and wine.
Mary & Harry left and not long after we were meeting them both at the restaurant in the city. Was called Mezzo located on little Bourke St. Its an Italian bar grill restaurant.Very nice.
You could only imagine after such a long day at work us girls just wanted to feel rested and nice to go to this dinner however we only had a bit of time to get all dressed and ready to meet them there. We were the last ones to arrive however that was expected and it turned out well because Mary & Harry only arrived just before us so turned out well.
Katheryn, Nazneen and i were all looking forward to sit down and relax and enjoy the lovely food. Because None of us had the chance to take our breaks during the day so you can can only imagine how our tummy's were all making noises.
We all had a lovely time having a laugh and mingling.
The dinner party ended around 12:30. Wasn't that late however after our long day and drinking wine all night i was exhausted. 
Mary was outside making sure we all got into a cab safely and gave us cab charges  to get home. which was thoughtful.

Stunning



Gwyneth Paltrow in Ralph Rucci-Spring 2011. Premier of her latest film "country song." Black panelled mini dress. Absolutely stunning. She always does something simple and bold but yet so striking. 






Blake Lively in Versace, Spring 2011 collection nude spaghetti-strap dress with fringe detailing
at the launch party for Lorraine Schwartz's jewelry collection in New York. Shoes are cute and obviously the dark brown of the shoes gives it contrast and gives it more of a statement. Which is what Blake always does. thats why we luv her. 
i personally would've stuck to a nude/gold shoe matching since she matched the earing that went well with her slicked back hair

looking up at the stars

its only the beginning of the week and im luving it. i think because some is on its way and like always im looking forward to catching up with my friends during the week and looking forward to Saturday.
i have a few things on the Saturday so no doubt be rush rush but whats new. i have a decision on going to this particular birthday. i want to see the people there but thinking it wont be good for me but same time im wanting to go. thinking maybe its because i cant let go of something and i dont want to.
Last night was the perfect night. Spending it with one my close girlfriends Sophie. Weather was so Still. Not hot not to cold sitting outside having a an easy dinner, buger and chips with a house wine. We couldnt help ourselves having another drink it being so lovely out. So we shared a jug of beer together. I felt like we had to. i think i was craving it the moment i got home having beer in the sun on sunny evening. Went for a little Stroll then placed ourselves on little hill on the grass and just rested and relaxed & sharing our thoughts. Was a perfect way to start the week off.
