Summer Dresses - Jeans West

Recently I was looking for some more summer dresses to add to the collection and came across these two from Jeans West. I watched them online for ages when they first came out at $70 and eventually got them for $40 in a super members sale. 
 
The pink dress is 'Heidi' which also comes in multi-tone green. The blue dress is 'Estelle' which also comes in orange (which actually looks really nice). Almost all of their dresses are lined and have adjustable straps. I'm not convinced on the measuring guide but I was able to get the right size because I had enough store bought dresses to be sure. Here are a few other dresses that I thought were really cute: 'Nicolette', 'Clara' and 'Annette'. There are also plenty of maxi dresses available but I almost never wear maxi because they are too hot.


A good summer dress almost always needs a good waist belt. I had a brown one I got from Jeans West a long time ago (about $15) that went with everything and I have since found (and ordered the black) the exact same design on ebay for $2.21-$2.35 from aicci.

How to sew a clasp to a medal

The medals didn't come with information on how to attach the medals only how far apart to place them. They miniature medal is obviously just through the eyelet and around the edge (see 1st sketch bellow) but the large medal has two eyelets which could be sewn through just the eyelets (left side of 2nd sketch) and not around the edge or around the edge (right side of 2nd sketch). I only suggest it could have been around the edges because then the mini an full would look the same. Did some research and based on the pictures that I could find (note: mainly British medals) the stitch on the full medal goes only between the two eyelets.   What you will need: - medals and clasps (obviously) - measurements (should comes with medal) - thread matching the ribbon (in this case green and not gold...also obvious) - needle and needle threader - scissors - ruler  Measure the distances according to the information provided with the medal. This is the mini...

NEW - Jagermeister premix cans

For all those Jager lovers out there it now comes in a premixed can!!! Raw is Jagermeister and Pulse (energy drink) tastes exactly like a Jager-bomb that has exploded. Ginger Lime is Raw with a bit of extra flavour. It reminded me of a Smirnoff Mule, so if you like Mule and you like Jager this is the ideal drink. Each can is 1.7 Australian Standard Drinks and 6.5% alcohol. I paid $5.50 a can, which is pretty expensive (Aussie premix drink tax didn't help) but I was excited to check them out. Bottoms up!   Other drinks reviews: Summer Ginger Beer, Broo, Cheeky Rascal, Rubi Rolla Cruizer & WKD Iron Brew St Peter's Ruby Red Ale, Young's Double Chocolate Stout & Newcastle Brown Ale

The Velvet Spoon - Peep Show Series 8

Sick of having to make a cup of coffee for other people just because you want one? Well you should get onto the 'velvet spoon' routine... coined by the creators of Peep Show the Velvet Spoon enables to you make yourself a coffee while other are completely oblivious and therefore don't have to make them one. In series 8, episode 2 of Peep Show, Mark is doing some late night work  and gets up to make a coffee. As he makes the coffee he uses the Velvet spoon routine so that his flatmate Jez doesn't hear and therefore doesn't have to make him one, however, Mark is rumbled by Jez who has been kept up all night by Marks effort to 'massacre imaginary ants swarming [his] keyboard". I've provided a link to the episode on youtube. At 7:31 you can see the velvet spoon in action. The velvet spoon involved stirring the spoon without making contact the the sides or bottom of the coffee cup to avoid making noise. Takes a little more time than normal stirri...
