~Ruby slippers and pigtails with bows~

So everyone who knows me knows that I love a good dress up party and this has to most definitely be one of my favourites to date... My friend of exceeding loveliness Justine Watkins (pictured below as the sexy purple version of Jasmine from Aladdin) celebrated her 21st with a Musical themed bash and I choose to go as the iconic Dorothy from Wizard of Oz.

I was very proud of my outfit - especially the home-made ruby slippers ^_^ Check it out...

**Bridal beauty**

So this is most definitely one of the most beautiful dresses I have ever seen!!! And I really love wedding dresses, so that's saying a lot... (This is also a rad movie. I especially love the last few lines because I totally believe that the term soul mate is not reserved for husbands/lovers but can most definitely be best friends too! Corny I know, but hey :P)

But anyway... If by the time I get married I am exceedingly wealthy (or my husband is :P) it would be a complete dream to have a Vera Wang designed wedding dress. Not because of the label (I am totally not a label girl) but just because I think that everything she makes is absolutely breath taking.

90's RomComs ftw!

After watching one of my absolute fave's in the early hour's of this morning I thought I had to give a shout out to the awesomeness that is the classic 90's RomCom... My childhood would be incomplete without these quirky leading ladies being swept off their feet by their either equally offbeat and adorably awkward male counterparts or 'too cool for school' ladies men. Thank you Meg, Tom, Jules and all the rest for all the good times... ;P It was so hard to choose but here my top ten:

1. The adorable kids make this one for me...

2. Meg Ryan is positively enchanting!

3. No need for explanation - absolute classic!

4. Adam Sandler and Drew Barrymore at their best, along with some of the most hideous outfits ever to come out of that era :P

5. The gorgeous Julia once again :)

6. The classic pair going old school with radio rather than e-mail this time :P

7. There is no denying it - nothing says romcom like Hugh Grant... 

8. The classic chance encounter while travelling through the fragrant, cultured  wonderland of Europe. And who can resist that accent ;)

9. Admittedly this is from '89, but could not leave it out! 

         

10. One of those 'will they just get together already!' kinda movies

A very special Shark. . .

So there's this lady that needs to make a speedy appearance on this blog. Because anything about me would be totally incomplete without heavy mention of her. :P 

If you ever have the amazing fortune of meeting her you'll understand what I'm talking about. I couldn't even begin to explain how frikken amazing she is. Let's just say I wouldn't be half as cool as I am, if it wasn't for her rubbing off on me :P 

Here are just some of the moments of awesomeness from our 1st year at uni (we were literally joined at the hip from the moment we met, it was kinda freaky actually ;P). . . 

Here is the link to her blog of awesomeness so you too can experience just a taste of the pure magic that is Sharlene Shark Naidoo - http://sharklene.tumblr.com/
