Last night we went out for dinner at The Italian, which is a very fancy restaurant on Lil Flinder's Lane, famed for its steaks. And, you know, other delicious meals. It was really very good, and a lovely dining atmosphere, I would highly recommend it to anyone (and fairly reasonably priced for an up-market restaurant.)
More to the point, I wore this dress, which I've been waiting to receive since Christmas, when I found it with my mum whilst shopping in Hawaii:
Yes! It's a lil black dress all covered in sequins! And - possibly even better - it was $100 marked down from $300!
My mum also bought me some really lovely things from Banana Republic, my new favourite store. Wait! You guys don't know about The Dress, i.e. the sole reason I worship at the altar of BR. Here we are:
Le sigh. I love it. It's 100% merino wool, and was $30 marked down from $110. It's super comfortable, fits really well and makes me feel prettyyyy. It's perfect for going out in Melbourne winters (only with a big, woolly jacket, of course).
My mum was there when I bought the above, so she knows how much I am enamoured with the store, so when they flew back for the funeral she was thoughtful enough to do some birthday shopping there for me:
Aaaaand (finale) this gorgeous LBD to assist with my quest for the American Dream (20 days!!!):
I ♥ it. It's stretchy, meaning it fits in all the right places, and looks reallyyyy nice. Well, I think so. And makes me feel fab. Can't wait for an excuse to wear it!
Among other things, I also received:
Opening presents with my family was the funniest thing, and I can't for the life of me remember why. It was the kind of laughter that makes your cheek hurt and your stomach ache, and it's the very best kind.

those dresses are totally "gorge"!!! as I imagine mean american girls would say when they acutally brutally covet them, like I do. That sequin dress is TO DIE FOR!!! If I could "omfg" here, I would.
Merino wool is sooooo soft, rihgt?! I just walk into stores with that material and stroke the clothes. Haha, I don't have any of my own :P
It looks really nice, you look really nice (without a head, that is :P), your birthday must have been really nice and I wish you all the very best of luck, life, love, laughter, liberty and leisure in your 19th year of life! Congratulations!!!!!!!!! Happy Birthday dear JAG <3
