What a wonderful week. The sun has come out, the water temperature is rising, the heat is the first thing i wake up to, before Luke, and the air wraps around your body like a warm invisible blanket. I am just smitten with the weather at the moment and what perfect way to celebrate than to dip your toes in the water for the first time and dangle your feet over the side of a dock. These photos were taken over the weekend when i was having some much needed down time before a crazy week of work. I've learnt it's so important for my body and my mind to have days off where i can leave my mac at home and focus on enjoying some time to myself. I think they call it "ME" time, or something? Easier said than done seeing as i'm a self confessed workaholic but i'm learning, and this day was utterly perfect.

As promised Gary Pepper Pieces has just been updated with over 50+ amazing new accessories which you can view here. Everyone is so quick with the accessories so i made sure i had plenty of items to choose from with another 50+ items coming next week! Want to see more of something? Just let me know!

And just quietly, to any of you who have been emailing about the accessories you will find Chloe is now in charge of the GPP store. Yesterday was the first day she officially took full responsibility for the store and i just can't wait to see how well i know she will run it from now on. I trust her completely, which is what makes her the perfect assistant :) I'm thinking about letting her do a guest post on my blog to introduce herself. What do you guys think?

For future stock inquiries please email: chloe@garypeppervintage.com.

So it's 12:29am and it looks like i won't be going to bed for at least another few hours. My body clock seems to be all backwards at the moment as i've been having extremely late nights and even later morning starts so before i know it, the day is over already. In my dazed confusion today I somehow got Luke to agree to drive to Sydney first thing in the morning whilst i intend to sleep in the passenger seat the entire way. My game plan is to remain half asleep when i walk from my bed to the car so i can get some rest before the huge two days of op shopping i have planned! But in saying that, i think we all secretly know that being half asleep never works and i can already imagine how wide awake i'll be in the morning and running around on 5 hours sleep with some fresh macdonald hotcakes, syrup, a bacon and egg mcmuffin, orange juice, and maybe some hash browns on hand too...

I wanted to thank you all for entering the camilla & marc and tiffany & co giveaway this month! With over 2,100 entries and by far the biggest giveaway i've done to date, I announced the lucky winner on facebook tonight which was Laura Pendelton from QLD! I always feel terrible that i can't give each and every one of you something in return but i always feel better when i think of a better and more amazing new giveaway for the next month (which i have) so i will be announcing it in only a few days time which I hope you all love! I will also be drawing the winner to our $50 gary pepper gift voucher tomorrow night so i'll keep you posted on that too :)

Here are a few of my favourite items in store this week. This collection has over 150 new vintage pieces so it was hard to pick only a few! Again, my collections are expanding, i can't seem to help it, i'm one step away from being the crazy cat lady and i really need more sleep... but i just love the thrill of finding new vintage too much! So i suppose that kind of makes me a crazy but happy cat lady, right?

This little yellow cardigan is my absolute favourite this week. It is the softest fabric i have ever felt and honestly feels like warm butter on my skin. Kind of ironic that it looks like it too?

I also updated Gary's second online store 'Gary Pepper Pieces' tonight with a few vintage accessories. I realized that i never really post photos on this blog every time i update GPP and that so many of you miss out because everyone on facebook is so quick! I can only stress to you how important it is to be a fan of our facebook page as you get the first sneak peek of my new coming collections, first pick at my vintage accessories at buy it now prices, updates on giveaways and special announcements, and also exciting news as they happen!

Speaking of exciting, due to popular demand i finally have some black bowler hats in store! Quality wool, one size fits all, $40 each and a limited amount of stock so please email me at nicole@garypeppervintage.com if you would like one. I also have plenty more lace up ankle boots, brogues and amazing little briefcase bags so be sure to have a look! I absolutely LOVE this little pea brooch but sadly it's already gone to a cosy new home, along with most of these items, actually. Like i said, everyone on facebook is just so quick!
