An Update!

Well...On Monday afternoon we started the drive up to Christchurch with the dog in search of a house. But after three days and over 1200km travelling we did not find a house so here we are back in Queenstown to stay at least for the moment.

It was a beautiful drive up and back down although at 6 hours (approx.) each way it is a long one!

Here are some highlights...

The Blog Must Go On!

The Christchurch Tram in front of The Art Centre

Hello,

I have had a few e-mails asking wither or not the blog will continue when I move back to Christchurch - as you all probably have worked out from our profile we started this blog so that Amy and I could share our latest fashions/purchases etc and generally letting each other know what we were doing as snail mail although great fun was growing a little boring and daily phone calls were expensive when I moved from Christchurch down to Queenstown!

But fear not I think as I am sure we will manage to continue the blogging tradition!

With lots of exciting places and lots of new purchases!

In the meantime enjoy these stunning Dior Pumps I am pining over!

Love Rachael

It's Actually AMY!!!!

HEY RACH,

So its been forever since I've been on, at least two weeks. Horrible eh. Schools so damn busy, trying to plough through as much as the internals before I head up to Nelson next Sunday for Tourney - So excited!!! I really like whats been happening with the blog since my short-term departure - the whole ' Weekly Update' thing is an awesome idea... I ESPECIALLY LOVE the Ralph Lauren tennis balls, I want some of those really bad! Wimbledon one day maybe ..... lol.I can't wait till you're coming back, it's so exciting, It's been like 8 months since I've seen you last! It's so sad about Neo though :-(. I'm at home today (doing homework - no such thing as a real day off school), didn't get home until 11 last night - board meeting, decided I was far too tired for school today! Got my very first 'achieved' for the year lol - I was NOT impressed, in algebra. Only 5 people in the class passed though so I supose I can't complain too much!I thought I might run with the pics for the week thing so here are mine right now...

Purchase of the week - New Pencil case (i think its supposed to be a toilet bag, but its so great 'cos it fits everything in so easily and its just so preppy with the spots and all!)

Album im bashing! The Kooks, a very cool English (?!?) group, esp. like the song 'Naive' ....definately worth a listen. Kinda indy / rock, nice and happy - gotta love it!

Cosmetic Product... now you know that I'm not big on wearing makeup, but I've
found something that I absolutely love and pretty much can't live without...Lancome Definicils - stole some from Mum and now I'm practically addicted! It makes eyes look so defined and pretty :-) (aparently its a bit pricey though - according to Mum who now has to buy some more!)

Yeah I can see what you mean about Carmen Electra, shes able to pull off the pretty girl / hot girl thing, I prefer Angelina Jolie, but sometimes her fashion sense just doesn't match up to it! I really liked the pic you had of Lindsay Lohan, heres another one i likes (baby-dolls are just the best!)

And now for the best handbag I have seen in a long time... The Emmey bag by Mulberry, It's kind of like the Chloe Paddington, but just so much better! MUST get my hands on one of these!...

Thats about life for me now... counting down 'til you get bac!Love Amy xox

Weekly Update Three

Hey,

So I have been feeling a little lonely recently as we have not had any posts from Amy for over a week...but I talked to her last night and she will be returning soon fresh out of studying! I have to say I am so excited about moving back to Christchurch. I moved to Queenstown in Feb 2006 and things just haven't been the same. So back to Christchurch I head! Hopefully before September! Just in time to return for my birthday in October! Which I am already planning as a fanstastic day and night of Shopping, Champagne, Dancing and Amazing Food at the minute plans are going with staying the night at the Heritage Hotel in one of there 2 Bedroom OGB Suites! Lunch at Sticky Fingers, Shopping in the City Mall and Ballantynes and then a night on The Strip starting at Liquidity! I just need to find a job now! So I can finance it! Haha!

Beauty Product of the Week: Natio Daily Moisturiser SPF 15

Purchase of the Week: Twinings Peppermint Tea

Shock with Blue

Hey there

Well although not one to follow in the "it girls" trends I have to say this shocking shade of blue is beautiful! After the black/white/nude coloured last few awards etc it was nice to see some celeb pictures that were bright and fun again.

I am also loving this Lilly Pulitzer Kennedy Coat from the Fall Collection - shocking pink lining!

Thank you for all the nice comments about my little kitty he will be missed but I am excited about moving back to Christchurch : ).

Love Rachael

A Long Week

Hi there

Well this week (and yes I am aware its only Wednesday) has been...I can't even think of a word. On Sunday morning I found Neo lying at the side of the road at the end of the driveway. He was only two and I'm still very upset as he was my first cat and my little bubble!

However he made me realise that we should move back to Christchurch. Moving down to Queenstown was a big move as we knew no one and its an isolating place - so we have decided to move back to the busy city we love to Christchurch! So things have been a little rough this week and some big decisions have been made. I'm excitied about going back and can't wait to see you Amy. Won't be up today (Wednesday) like I thought as plans have changed and I'm going to stay down until the house etc are dealt with too. However life (and the blog) must go on.

I haven't done much shopping this week I did recieve some lovely pearl and silver studs from our neightbours from Michael Hill which are really pretty and I recieved my new jeans in the mail.To add to my 'Box Set DVD's I have watched' post I have now also seen Sex in The City Season 5 and Will & Grace Season 1!

Looking forward to the Weekly Round-Up!
