OOTD Fail : 9th January, 2015 - Whoops

Today I spent the day at home by myself because my mum and sister were out at work. I enjoyed the peace thoroughly and managed to edit my December and Christmas Haul which will be up very shortly.

I also did have an OOTD picture but deleted it when I had to clear my memory card, it was only a crochet beach dress that I wore - nothing special.

Anyway, I hope you all had a great day!

OOTD : 8th January, 2015 - Crutchless

Today I went out for the first time without my crutches, I was supposed to be using them until Saturday but they were a real pain in the neck and I figured that if I didn't overdo it, I should be okay. We all ended up at the shops, I probably did a little too much walking but it was so nice to leave the house again - Even better that I didn't take crutches, it wasn't as tiring just walking in my boot.

I am, however, feeling a little under the weather. I think I may be coming down with something and I felt a little light-headed and dizzy for a lot of the day. It was also a pretty warm day as well, so it could of been that too.

OOTD : 7th January, 2015 - Pooped

Today I slept until lunch time and then stayed in my room until the power cut out at 1pm. Power was restored at 3pm and I could not have been happier. House arrest is pretty boring without electricity for entertainment. I instead had a lukewarm bath because it was a hot day and my fan couldn't be on without electricity.. Obviously!

Once mum got home from work we had dinner and then the people I used to live with came to visit to make sure I still had a leg and then I pretty much crawled up to my room. I watched the new episode of PLL and attempted to curl my hair, which didn't last very long, before getting into bed for nigh-nighs.

Seriously, I overdid myself yesterday. My ankle throbbed all night and has been pretty off and on all day! My mum and sister will be out tomorrow for a bit so I am hopeful that my December and Christmas Sale hauls will be filmed, although I am waiting for some more stuff but I think I will just put that into my January haul!

I also had a fiddle around with my 50mm lens today.. I like it, just not when the shot is of me!

Flattering angle much!

Top : Big W (Came as cami with other shirt)

Shorts : City Chic

Anyway, fingers crossed I get my hauls filmed tomorrow, I know me having things up late is a habit since October, but I have finally caught up on blog posts so I want to get this haul done ASAP!

I hope you all had a great day!

OOTD : 6th January, 2015 - Outing

Today I spent the majority of my day resting up in bed and once mum was home and heading to the shops I decided to tag along in my very limited capacity. Crutches at shopping centres are nobodies friends! I am absolutely pooped!

I did go for a good reason though, one of my City Chic purchases had arrived into my local store. Shame it didn't fit me and I have had to reorder it again in another size, this time it will be getting delivered to my house though so I wont require an expedition to get it.

Also, I took some photos last night to compare my ankles and I thought I would share them with you!

Injured ankle, its so swollen that there is no definition!

Non-injured ankle

Injured ankle on the left 

Injured ankle on the right, check out the swelling!

Injured on the right, trying to show the very little bruising I have

Again, trying to show the bruising, which is pretty much non-existent.

Not that I think any of you guys are interested by all of that, so lets move on to my OOTD!

Shorts : Jeanswest

I am hoping that my little adventure out today means that I will be able to make it through the rest of the week without feeling so cooped up.. That or I will be too exhausted from today to even contemplate leaving the house, I was pooped before I even got to the car!

Anyway, I hope you all had a lovely day!

OOTD : 5th January, 2015 - Unhelpful

Today mum had to return to work after having some time off because she hurt her ankle. This would be fine normally but because I am currently incapacitated it made my day much harder. I asked my sister to be of assistance a couple of times today and she either flat-out refused, expected some sort of payment in return or would tell me how she isn't my slave and that I should do it myself.

Once I made it downstairs this morning I was not moving for the life of me, then I got hungry and it took so long to gather some food and head back to the couch to eat! I have barely eaten because it requires so much effort for me to get something and because my mum wasn't here and my sister was pretty much useless I had to fend for myself.. Very slowly!

Anyway, I had planned on re-filming my December haul today but I am so exhausted that I did nothing but hobble from my bed to the couch and fall asleep.

These OOTD's would be so much easier if I had the use of my right root! It is much more difficult getting a tripod and camera set up with one leg, good thing my bed takes up most of my room, I tend to just scoot over on that to get things!

Anyway, I hope you all had a great day!

OOTD : 4th January, 2015 - Boredom

Today was my first full day in the airboot and I swear if I am unable to walk soon I am going to go insane. I literally spent my whole day on the lounge off my feet watching daytime tv, on a Sunday! Which means that there is nothing on of any interest, I watched infomercials for goodness sake just to keep me occupied!

Anyway, the other thing is that until I get the boot off in 4-6 weeks, I wont be able to drive. I love my independence and being able to drive places when I want to so this is going to be hard to get used to, especially because I am supposed to be starting a job this month - hopefully the crutches will at least be gone by then!

Also, I am allowed to take it off for showers so I think that super long showers and baths are going to be a daily occurrence just so I can have some time without it on!

On another note, my laptop was returned today from the Apple Store, mum had to get it, but I have it now which will help my boredom levels greatly - the iMac is good but its super awkward to use from bed so my Macbook should help in that department!

Hopefully tomorrow I will get some filming done since I will have the house to myself, I was going to today but once I was downstairs I was not making my way back up for anything! This hopping around business is tiring, be thankful for having two legs people!

Air Boot : Still there, unfortunately! Still just as attractive!

I had a shower super late this afternoon after sweating through this hot day, it made me feel at least half human again! Hopefully your day was a little more productive than mine!

OOTD : 3rd January, 2015 - Beach Accident

Today we all got up early and packed ourselves lunches and headed off to the beach. We got there and went straight to the change-rooms to put our cossies on and I returned to the beach and realised that I had left my sunglasses in the change-room, so I headed on back to the change-room.

When I was on my way back from the change-room I misjudged the last step because it is much higher than the others and fell and heard a very uncomfortable sounding crunch in my foot. People rushed over to help as well, I am usually fine until someone asks if I'm okay and then I'm a goner!

Anyway, I went and sat down for a while while everyone had a swim and iced my ankle hoping that it was sore from the shock and that it would pass but once my toes went numb we realised that I had to go to the hospital. Not only did I have to be put in a beach buggy by the lifeguards but I also had no pants on when I got to the hospital because I managed to put my shirt on but didn't have the forethought to put my shorts back on!

The doctor was pretty sure it was only a sprain, after an x-ray we discovered that I had actually cracked the bone of my ankle joint nearly all the way through.

My new friends for the next 4-6 weeks include an air boot and crutches.. And no swimming, good timing! Its the bloody middle of Summer and I am stuck in a gross, sweaty air boot!

Shorts : Jeanswest

Air Boot : Attractive!

I am not allowed to weight bear until after my first appointment at the fracture clinic in a week or so, hopefully they'll let me get rid of the crutches after that - I cannot handle crutches without exposing myself to more potential injuries!

I hope your day was less injury prone then mine!

OOTD : 2nd January, 2015 - All Day Filming

Today my parents went to Newcastle for the day to catch up with some friends and stuff while my sister and I stayed home. I filmed my haul for the month of December, then I realised I missed half of the stuff that I purchased so I do have to re-film it. 

Dangit!

Literally all day for filming, including preparation, photographing and packing it all up just to have to do it all again!

Jumpsuit : City Chic

Not really a resolution, but since I have a tripod now I plan on keeping up with taking OOTD's with my DSLR for you. My point and shoot leaves much to be desired in terms of quality and mirror shots are blurry at best!

I hope you all had a fantastic day and are enjoying the start of the new year!

OOTD : 1st January, 2015 - New Year, New You... Not!

The new year always brings such a sense of new beginnings but to me it also signifies the year of hard work that is to come! I also find the new year really irritating because people think they're going to change their lives in the new year through a resolution!

Mate, if you want to do something, just do it! Waiting until the new year to do it as a resolution just seems like procrastination to me! I am not going to wait until the new year to do something about my life if I want to do something!

Goodness!

Today we headed up the coast to visit some family for the day, they have a pool, I couldn't put my head under. Still a good day nonetheless - Regretting the sunburn though, as usual!

Jumpsuit : Crossroads

Belt : City Chic

Anyway, I hope you all had a fantastic day! Heres to a new year!

OOTD : 31st December, 2014 - New Years Eve

Today we were all going into the fireworks for New Years in Woolwich where I knew a group going who had reserved a spot all morning. I was patiently waiting two new lenses and a tripod for the occasion though. The lenses arrived from Hong Kong in the morning, after only two and a half days since ordering but the tripod from Melbourne took four days. I was lucky though, it got here at one in the afternoon and I had until 2pm to pick it up from the Post Office - Good thing I checked the mail for a pick up slip!

My sister and I headed in at 3pm when the first shuttle bus was due to run and spent the afternoon playing card games and pictionary before the rest of the family turned up.

We then had a picnic dinner and then fireworks. After the 9pm and 10:40pm fireworks my family went home and I stayed for the midnight display before heading home.

OOTD : 30th December 2014 - Doctors, Again!

Today mum had another appointment about her ankle and has been cleared to return to work in the new year on light duties. After the doctors we got some groceries and went home. My ear is still feeling pretty sore and cold air is irritating to it!

I bought some earplugs in case I need them for the fireworks tomorrow night, also in case I want to go swimming to make sure no water gets in my ear!

Shoes : Havianas

Anyway, I am getting excited about New Years Eve tomorrow! I hope you are all looking forward to the new year - I find it a little hard to handle sometimes because I feel like we spend so much of the year looking forward to the end of the year and then all of a sudden its over and you're starting over again!

I hope you all had a wonderful day!

OOTD : 29th December, 2014 - Repairs

Today my mum, sister and I ventured to the Apple Store because I had an appointment at the Genius Bar for my Macbook Pro. Turns out my logic board was failing and that my screen had a loose spring, thank goodness for me purchasing the three year Applecare plan because it means that both repairs will be done for me for free!

Theres that $90 warranty paying for itself ten times over really.

After I left my laptop there we stayed at the shops for many, many hours because my dad was sulking at home. We purchased many things and I got my hair treated and cut - It isn't much shorter than it was but it feels like it because I got some serious layering throughout because it was getting too heavy for me!

Once we were home it was well into the afternoon and we had our first meal for a few days that consisted of food that wasn't Christmas related, thankfully! I was getting pretty sick of ham and salads!

Dress : Asos Curve

Belt : City Chic

After dinner we decided to go for a swim, originally I wasn't going to put my head under because it was nice from the hairdressers but my sister splashed me and then it was already wet. So I got out to jump in and slipped as I jumped and went ear-first into the water - Excruciating pain in my ear, mum suspects a burst eardrum, if thats so, I am unable to get water in my ear for three weeks. Theres nothing than can be done for it unless it gets infected so we are just going to assume that it is burst and be cautious!

Silly me!

Anyway, I don't know when I am getting my laptop back, thankfully I have an iMac now with all of my data on it so I am not too concerned about losing data or anything!

I hope you all had a lovely day!

OOTD : 28th December, 2014 - Rest Day

Today we decided to have a relatively quiet day considering that we had been pretty busy for the last week or so with Christmas and all of the family fun that entails. Mum and dad went off to the beach while Laura had to go to the Starlight Room where she volunteers so I stayed home and went and did a grocery shop for mum.

Riveting day really.

I have made reservations at the Genius Bar tomorrow for my poor Macbook Pro - The USB port has not worked for a while and the screen is a bit wobbly so I plan on taking it in before my applecare plan runs out at the end of January!

New Years is coming up so fast, can anyone else not believe how fast this year has gone! I hope you all had a lovely day!
