Rebelling in white...OOTD

Do you follow rules?

How about the rule about wearing white after Labour Day?

I am NOT obeying that rule!
The fashion police might ticket me...but really I don't mind.

White NYDJ 

Saint James striped Top

 Growing out a pixie cut is not for the faint of heart!

Some days I can coax it into a curly state and others it just will not cooperate!

I love the Bumble and Bumble Don't Blow It and also the Aveda Brilliant gel...

they both help immensely.

After washing my hair I use the Bumble and Bumble

 then next day 

(when my hair does not get washed) 

I use the Aveda gel.

The children are back to school today and summer feels like its about to come to a close.

Climbing Royal Sunset Rose

A fresh flush of flowers are blooming.

  I so love this rose for its heady fragrance...

impossible not to pick a few blooms 

to bring inside The Humble Bungalow.

September is a hopeful month

one that brings with it possibilities...

I am pondering many options...

 taking a class

Yoga

aqua fit

rejoining WW

trying something new

looking for a volunteer placement

going back to the club for bridge after the summer holidays

Lots of things to pursue and many new books out to read

a knitting project that has been put on the back burner will be revived.

Are you looking for new possibilities this month?

What things are you considering?

Take care

Wednesday ~ Pictures and a few Words

5am ~ the mournful droning of a freighter's fog horn in the nearby Strait wakes me.
I toss and turn
the cat stirs
licks my face...

I am wide awake!

5:30 ~ Sleep eludes me so I tip toe out of our bedroom
close the door
go into the kitchen and make an espresso.

the jolt of caffeine is welcome

Am I too groggy to compose a post this early?

Oh but then I remember it is Wordless Wednesday 

maybe all I need to do is find a few images

post them pronto.

the sparkly Christmas bauble 

left lying in a tangle of twiggy branches

forgotten

the pretty fuchsia blooms

clinging on for dear life 

in the winter chills of January on The Avenue

the novel that has threatened to shut down the domestic team of one

in The Humble Bungalow

L'Occitane Shea Butter

Hostess endorsed "star" performer

keeping my skin supple

(here's the silver star ~ my good housekeeping icon of approval)

Aveda helps keep my curls clean and soft...

I had my hair cut last Saturday.

It was driving me crazy.

Too long and limp and the weight pulled the hair down

so a few layers were added to allow the curls to spring back to life!

My hairdresser gave me some samples of Bumble and Bumble 

their newest products for curly hair.

I am excited about the new Primer...

it helps define the curl and refreshes curls without having to shampoo the next day.

(My hairdresser recommends shampooing every other day.)

~ Advice from the experts ~

I booked an appointment for a Jane Iredale natural make up session at the Spa.

I am keen to see what products and colours they recommend for my skin tone.

Since I opt for the no make up look, it will be interesting to see the results.
