Don't let grey clouds get you down



A tip for bringing sunshine into a dreary Wednesday morning?

Throw on a smile and the brightest tights you have. Just because the rest of the world is grey and mopey doesn't mean you have to be!



*Incidentally, the sun came out about a half hour later and it has turned into a glorious rainbow filled day

You're welcome Canberra.



What's your Wednesday pick-me-up?

oh Pick-me-ups are so, so key! :) I love the idea of bright tights, I do need to get me some of those. And I highly recommend you come visit New York - the options for food are truly endless, and there's something for everyone here! ;) [Just wait until Spring or Fall to come, winters and summers can be a bit harsh for vacations!]

Tea, a whole lot of tea. And making the effort to smile at people because, d'you know what? They return it! Such a wonderful thing.

Thankyou for the blog award, by the way! You are such a lovely lady. Been meaning to post a thank-you to you but I have been so frustratingly tied up with essays so I am sorry :( ---definitely going to post my favourite films later though! Hope you're well. I LOVE your shiny outlook. It so often gets me through the day.

I can't exactly wear tights to work (being in a lab) but I totally wore a bright pink (somewhat fluorescent) shirt to work...it made my day somewhat better seeing that it's been a bad day and totally overcast/dreary here allll day!

Glad yours came out on the sunshiney side!!

hooray for colored tights! :) i love reading my favorite blogs {like yours} when i need a pick me up. it's always inspiring to see the creative and positive projects which people are up to in the blogosphere. this week has been super tough, so i haven't been able to keep up with blogs like usual, but today i couldn't think of anything i wanted to do more than take a trip to blogland.

Coloured tights add so much to an outfit, I really should buy some now.

Been oddly lemming ones in mustard yellow for some reason. :)

Guest Post: Vanisha

Hey guys, here is the last guest post and I couldn't have picked someone better (if I do say so myself). I have only known Vanisha's blog for a short time but I'm already hooked. It's funny, honest and there are always beautiful photos to drool over. PLUS she lives in Canberra and does a much better job of summing up my awesome home-town than I do. Enjoy! Hello! I'm Vanisha from Vanisha's In Life...Australia  Kaylia invited me to write a guest post whilst she's on her fabulous holiday! Being asked to write a guest post almost feels like being invited into someone's home. I'm honored. Kaylia said write about "anything" so I thought I'd write about an amazing trip I recently took.  A lot of people find it odd that of all places, we decided to got to Timor Lestse. Let me preface this decision a little. It all started in front of this fire place in the middle of winter in the Kangaroo Valley. Two acquaintances sat. Trying to get war...

Guest post from Deidre of Decoybetty

Here is another guest post from a fabulous blogger; this time it's Deidre from Decoybetty. This blog is one of the funniest, most honest, most inspiring blog around (with the occasional dash of delicious recipes to boot). Check out her beautiful blog at www.decoybetty.com and you'll see why she is one of my all-time favourites. Guest post: When Kaylia asked me to write a guest post, I stared at the blank screen and the only things that came to mind is how every post that Kaylia writes, I read along going “Yes! Yes! Yes!”  This girl writes (albeit way more eloquently) what I’m thinking.  But you read her blog, you know how fabulous she is.   She recently wrote about the ‘anonymity’ of travel. I’m addicted to this feeling.  I’m an expat. I was born in America and got my first taste of Australia in the young adult book “Looking for Alibrandi” where a teenager skips school to hang out with a boy which is basically all the things I am not. I’d never skip school and I didn’t r...

Guest post: Courtney from Vintch

Hey all, here is a guest post from one of my  favourite bloggers: Courtney from Vintch . I have been reading this lovely lady's blog for over a year and am so honoured to have her doing this guest post for me. You'll see once you read her beautiful writing why she has quickly become a must-read on so many people's lists. On finding her voice My mama hates mayonnaise and is not fond of hanging baskets. My dad has Dallas Cowboys pajama pants and a penchant for ranch dip. And I am their daughter. I slept one floor above them for 21 years, until the night before my wedding when I crawled into my twin bed and cried, my cheek warm against the cotton sheets, my hands wrapped around the cracked gold posts. I cried not because I was scared or nervous about the wedding, but because I would never again sleep there. Never again hang my feet off the side and onto the carpet. Never talk to my sister in the dark until we both fell asleep mid sentence. It was bittersweet and ...
