Fancy Find: Hillsong concert

Amazing. Amazing. Uhh-mazing concert! If you haven't been to a Hillsong united concert yet, you really should! Its probably one of the only concerts where you can sing and raise your hands, and not be considered idolizing something/someone. Totally freeing! 

 And It was totally worth the money! i did NOT regret it! It was beautiful, incredible, fantastic, lovely,.. And that's only some of the words I came up with to describe it! It was just what I needed. And must I say, I just love Aussies! At least these Aussies, they have such genuine personalities. It was an incredible night. Saying I had fun would be an understatement! I probably will never forget it. Well done, Hillsong united, well done! 

I'm now curious as to what their church services are like at the main hub in Australia... Guess I'll have to find out! ; )

Aaand, a good friend of mine will be attending the hillsong concert at the Redrocks in Colorado on Thursday, and if there was a way, I would totally go! Gorgeous scenery & awesome tunes, sounds like a great Thursday!

P.s. This is the lip combo I was wearing at the concert & I just love it, it lasted the whole time! Even got a compliment out of it too! Not going to lie, I really like when that happens! 

NYX 'Amsterdam' (reddish/berry color) lip cream 

Tarte 'exposed' lipsurgence 

I will tell ya, they are both matte colors, so you have been warned! ; ) and I haven't tried gloss over them...

Love you, Ryn

I've so enjoyed reading Lauryn's beautiful blog this month - lots of gorgeous ideas!
As I begin to write a brief Christmas comment, it comes to mind that my Christmas in Australia is quite different to that of the northern hemisphere.

I've always dreamt of a white Christmas, with sleigh bells, hot chocolate, snow and scarves. I've been blessed to have my dream come true twice in my life, firstly in Germany and then in Canada. The thing is, in my wintery Christmases, I found myself missing the hot summer. I missed the smell of sunscreen, and the fragrance of rain after a steamy afternoon. I missed eating Christmas fruits like mangos and peaches.

I remember being a little girl, and going to all the beautiful Christmas celebrations in a gorgeous Christmas dress lovingly made by my Grandmother. The dress would be sewn from Christmas printed fabric with sweet frills (not too many) and bells attached on red and green ribbons. I felt like a Christmas princess.

Speaking of my Grandmother and her beautifully crafted clothing always directs me to my love for clothing and the romance of fashion.
I truly believe that a dress is one of the most romantic items you'll ever own. Memories are created in dresses!

I remember the dress I was wearing when I had my first kiss - a vintage maxi dress with a cute print.
I remember the dress I wore to my first grown up new years eve party - a gorgeous chiffon floral with a 1920's cut my mother wore when she was a teenager.
I remember the dress I was wearing the night I met my husband - a 1960's inspired number with a favourite cardi (it was June in Queensland and cold).

These dresses will stay in my wardrobe as evidence of a beautiful life lived.
This Christmas, wear your favourite dress with the expectation to create a beautiful memory.

This photo was taken on my honeymoon - I call this dress my water colour dress, it was inspired by the 1920's cut my mother wore when she was a teenager.
