I spent yesterday running around in the sun with my beautiful boyfriend and the nine helium balloons he bought me for my birthday, some pink, some pearl. We were celebrating a handful of things: my birthday, our 3 year anniversary and our last night together before he flew out to hawaii for 5 weeks to shoot the surf contest over there. We got a beautiful room at the crowne plaza and were upgraded to a room overlooking the ocean. We spent the rest of the night on the balcony with some take out thai, a bottle of wine and giggled at the fact we didn't have any plates to eat our food with. In the morning, i attempted to stuff myself silly with banana bread, fresh scrambled eggs, hash browns and fresh orange juice but was so disappointed by how weak my effort was. All you can eat breakfast is a hard thing to conquer! For some absurd reason i had my auction finish on my birthday and was unfortunately glued to my laptop the entire night, but business comes first and i could not be happier with all the amazing feedback you're all kindly giving so it's makes it all worth while. Oh, and i've had a couple of questions about this already so to clear things up, i turned 21 :)
New listings will be up tomorrow night, friday the 29th from 7pm so don't forget to have a look! Gary Pepper has just warmly welcomed some new international friends with parcels being sent to the united states, london, canada, switzerland, norway and singapore so make sure you get in early so you don't miss out.

You know things are bad when you feel extremely guilty for not doing a post in two days, maybe this is the start to a very bad blog addiction? Anyway, things have been so crazy here the past couple of days, crazy as in 'i don't really know what to do with myself? Who are you, what day is it? do i go water the pot plants or make seventeen cupcakes?'.
Firstly, one of my mini projects will be up and running in the next day or so. We have collaborated with HOME, Australia's largest nightclub in Darling Harbor, Sydney, and have put together a special $100 gift voucher giveaway for Gary Pepper Vintage. More details will be posted tomorrow so i'll keep you all posted on how to get your hands on that exciting giveaway. I can also announce that there is a very high possibility that we will have our first national publication by March thanks to our favorite weekly magazine (no naming just yet, early days) and that i am also in the process of collaborating with an amazing Sydney based illustration artist who has been lovely enough to introduce me to so many more outlets for gary pepper, who knew people like that still existed?
And lastly, i happily joined the lookbook team on monday after receiving a personal email from yuri herself with an invitation. I don't think my cheeks will ever be the same, i was beaming ear to ear and am still trying to cope with the new found exposure it is creating for my store. With my blog getting daily hits in the thousands now, i can't even imagine who would even bother sitting at a computer reading my pointless babble?
So to all my new lookbook readers, welcome, i'm happy to meet you & i hope you enjoy your stay! :) Talk about crazy, it's my birthday today and i couldn't have asked for a better start to the week. Seventeen cupcakes, anyone?

My topshop order finally arrived on friday! I've pretty much worn these socks all weekend and it looks like they won't be going anywhere anytime soon, i'm in love. They may have been double the price but we just don't have good quality knee highs here, or anywhere really? I'm still patiently waiting for my jeffrey campbell kicks to arrive and was hoping to debut them on the weekend, where in the world are theyyyy? I'm also thinking of auctioning off some of my heels from my personal collection in the next two weeks as my wardrobe is just overflowing with neglected beauties :) But to add to my favorites is this newly acquired knitted jumper that i decided on keeping for myself. It is unbelievably soft and ridiculously comfortable, something i think every girl needs in their wardrobe. Perhaps a little inappropriate for the warm weather here though. Like an idiot i had to wear it now and quickly realized that wool was such a bad choice. One thing is for sure, i've never been so excited for the colder weather to be upon us. Hello, old man winter, i'm ready and cannot wait to see you :)
