Addicted to beautiful Lingerie - Target

I don't know about the rest of you ladies (and gents, lets not be judgmental) but nothing makes me feel more confident in my clothes that knowing I have "oh damn" lingerie on underneath. Whether it's to enjoy on your own or sharing with a partner, you can always use more lingerie.

However for us regular folk who are earning a regular income, splurging on the nice stuff is simply out of the question. So I have been keeping my peepers open for brands that are easy to come by, comfortable and look expensive whilst still maintaining a realistic price tag.

I was, in all honesty, quite shocked to find that Target met all four of my demands. While working with a strict budget I was still able to walk away with three truly comfortable bras that look great with or without an accompanying shirt.  In my opinion these bras look classy, feminine, delicate (which makes the little voice in my mind scream expensive) and down right sexy.

These bras really do make me feel a million dollars - in particular when I am wearing this beige and red lace bra – as though I need to be rolling around on (faux) fur rugs, counting my diamonds and drinking a glass of bubbly.

I know it doesn't look like much but this little, black, strappy piece has very quickly made it to the top of my “I must wear this all the time / I have an unhealthy addiction to an item of clothing” list.  It's got a snug fit, gives the ladies a good boost and offers GREAT support. On top of all of that I have found that the additional straps around the top of the bust only help in emphasising my cleavage - so I get all the benefits of a push up bra without the painful push.

Valley of The Waters Bush Walk

For the longest time now, I  have been eager to do a bush walk in the Blue Mountains. My Aunt and Uncle have a holiday home near Katoomba and when we were little they used to take my sister and I up for "child friendly" walks, but that's close to 12 years ago.

Taking into consideration how clumsy, uncoordinated and how horrible my sense of direction is, I thought that it would probably be best to partake in a guided walking tour. So after a bit of research and grilling my Aunt, I came across a group called Tread Lightly. It may seem a little pricey, but for the knowledge that I was going to come out of this alive and unscathed, I was willing to splurge.

Tim, our guide, was so incredibly friendly and knowledgeable o the plants, animals and history of the surrounding area. He was also very practised in photography and gave me some great pointers, which resulted in some truly spectacular shots. Lunch and water were both provided on the walk, he even catered to my vegetarian diet!

Originally we were a bit dismayed by the cold whether, rain and persisting fog - I mean it had be a beautiful 26*C the day before. There was an impressive amount of fog, present from the time we rolled up the mountain right up until the day we left. Luckily the density of it came and went, meaning I got a couple clear shots. At one point when we stopped for lunch and we had one of our first clear views on the enormous area. Less than five minutes later the fog rolled in and it was all completely lost again.
