Consider The Lilies: November 2013

Most of you know that I have been in Australia for the past 9 (roughly) weeks. I do most of my photo updates on Facebook, but some special events took place in the past few weeks so I decided to do a picture update here. Enjoy!!

Melbourne Cup
The Melbourne Cup is a very big deal horse race over here AND a reason to dress up and drink. We did exactly that.

A huge thank you to COUNTRY AFFAIR in Dungog for my beautiful dress and facinator!! I felt like Kate Middleton. Now just to find a box to bring my sweet head piece home in. :)

Every great party needs great food. I love this recipe (and my slight variation on it for this event); it has made more than one special day completely delicious. <3

Climbing the Sydney Harbour Bridge

If you even get the opportunity to climb the Sydney Harbour Bridge, my Lord, take it! What an unforgettable experience and a chance to see Sydney like you never have before. The whole day was amazing and Bridgeclimb and their crew were fantastic. (If you get to chose, make sure your tour guide is Mitch :) )

Tattoos!

Never did I imagine that I'd spend so much time in a tattoo parlour on this trip. As I've posted about on Facebook, I got a tattoo on my foot eight days after I arrived. I got it touched up last week, just a few days after my cousin got a massive tat on his back. Voodoo Tattoo in Gosford is HIGHLY recommended if you're in the area and needing some ink. They're clean and fun and the whole process was so good that I haven't ruled out the idea of getting another one. ;)
