I ended up picking up this green shirt for ten smackers which I didn't think was too bad at all. I also grabbed a white peplum top and a white lace top. I am meant to be investment piece shopping but I feel like those two items are definitely trend pieces that I may not wear very much so was happier to go with a cheaper version.
I am nearing the final hours of my four day long weekend and the feeling that work is just around the corner, that usually hits about 3pm on a Sunday is creeping over me. Don't get me wrong I quite enjoy my job but enjoy being a lady of leisure just that little bit more...
Today I had such a lovely morning - my friend Zoe came over and cooked me breakfast (I don't usually make my guests cook for me), then we re-tagged all of the vintage dresses for the market this weekend and then she did my make -up for me which was a real treat. Zoe is my little make-up guru and has just started a blog so you should definitely head on over and check it out.
I am also giving up cows milk for a little while after having my worst reaction to milk to date at lunch today. I felt like my stomach was knotting itself up. Has anyone else experienced this? What did you use as an alternative? I am going to try and give soy a go as it seems to be readily available but would love to hear other suggestions.
When I saw the title of this I was so hoping there would be elbow shots! Hope they heal soon xx
ReplyDeleteAlso, I drink almond milk and I really like it! x
DeleteDamn i so should have done an elbow shot! I like the idea of almond milk but not sure if many Cafes stock it? Maybe I could drink that at home.
DeleteI drink zymil milk - it is lactose and gluten free (the two main issues with milk!) more and more cafes in adelaide are starting to have it, i don't know about canberra :)
ReplyDeleteThose sandals are gorgeous!! Can't wait for some hotter weather in the UK!

I drink coconut milk. It's really healthy for you. I don't actually drink it, I just use it in my cereal. If I was out and ordering a drink though, I'd probably just use soy, but I'm not sure how good soy is actually for you so I try to avoid it at home.
ReplyDeleteAlso you look adorable as always. Come to Canada and help me shop please?
Soy milk is actually pretty wonderful. It takes a little while to get used to the taste if you're just drinking a glass of it, but I don't even notice it when I cook with it or use it in cereal. Plus, it lasts way longer than normal milk!
ReplyDeleteI love that shirt, btw. (: Ducking in for a few minutes to grab a couple things is never a bad idea.

I always tend to buy the "cheapy" versions of on trend pieces!
ReplyDeleteI love these photos, they're so simple yet so creative. You look good. Hope you find a good alternative to milk!
ReplyDeleteYou look so cute and summery in this outfit! I use a splash of half-and-half in my coffee, but other than that, I don't drink milk. If I need milk (cereal, lattes), I use almond milk, which is a great alternative!
ReplyDeleteI don't know if goats milk causes the same reaction as cows but it's quite nice. :)
ReplyDeleteI usually go for vanilla soy milk if it's in a latte or something. It's really flavorful! But I avoid almond milk, it doesn't taste right to me ever.
ReplyDeleteI usually drink almond or oat milk, but when I go out I'll just order soy because it's usually all that's available. Just experiment a little until you find one you like and can stick with, we all have different tastes!
ReplyDeleteI really love that outfit. Those pants look so comfy and I saw a pair at Forever New that I'm loving. As for milk I pretty much never drink it because it makes me feel a little sick. I only have it in coffee and cereal (I don't use milk for oats either) but besides that I never drink it. I used to have rice milk but it is quite watery. x
ReplyDeleteah i really love what you're wearing! your sandals are so sooo nice
ReplyDeletehope you'll visit back

Love this outfit! I've got a very similar top and it's my favourite at the moment - wear it with everything. I'm the same - I like paying a bit more for quality, long-lasting pieces, but I also can't help snapping up trends for cheap! :)

I did an elimination diet last year for 10 weeks. For me, gluten is the biggest culprit. However, I do think I have a slight intolerance to dairy at times. I now only drink Zymil lactose free milk which allows me to indulge in my love of cheese. Also unsweetened almond milk is nice. And I don't mind soy if it's the only option either. Good luck! I know those stomach knotting pains you speak of!
ReplyDeleteI drink almond milk, because normal milk hates me. The best one to drink (nutritionally speaking) is actually coconut milk. It's hard to get a hold of though (you can buy it in 1L cartons sometimes, I've never tried the cans of coconut milk, I think that would get expensive though!).
ReplyDeleteI've heard a lot of bad things about soy milk (including it being linked to infertility in men, hypothyroidism in women, and endometrial cancer), so I steer well clear of it. I also steer clear of 'lactose free' milk because my view is, if my body can't handle the lactose then I shouldn't be tricking it into consuming it with an additive to break that lactose down.
Like anything new, anything you try will take a while to get used too. But I promise, you will get used to it :)
