Outifit Algorithms. Models Prefer. Goodbye Again, Sydney.
Honestly, I empathise with the fash pack as they prepare their luggage for the Paris RTW shows over the coming weeks. As a mere mortal, I’ve been struggling all day with my packing for London. It got to the point where I had to leave the house for a swim to regroup and refocus. I…

Prepare yourselves emotionally, readers. Have a tim tam, no take two. This giveaway is going to bring positive decluttering energy into your home. Not only that, I’m about to present to you a kitchen appliance review that went off without a hitch. I opened the box, followed the instructions and voila, it worked. Brad at…

Home Without Baggage. Brunetti, Carlton.
I’ve been to Melbourne and now I’m back. Just me, not my checked in baggage. All the self check in baggage scanners at the Qantas terminal in Melbourne’s domestic airport crashed yesterday. Fortunately, the human scanners still worked so the hundreds of us that were flying out got onto our flights but I’m not quite…

15 MInutes on A Saturday Morning. Off to Melbourne.
This is another one of those super early Saturday mounting posts. I don’t know where Friday night went, actually. I turned in early after going down the road for Subway. Mr SSG and I were not only the oldest patrons but also the ones with the most clothes on, it was Friday night after all.…

Contact-ing, Baby Lips and Skinny Pens. The Excitement Of.
Well, it’s officially less than a week until I live on a plane for a day en route to London. Say what you like, real books do photograph better than e-books! Which is generally the stage on my travel planning time line when I buy the relevant Lonely Planet guide at Books Kinokuniya and finally…

Moments. Missoni. Moments of Missoni.
I have this cafe I always visit when I’m in the CBD on a weekday. It’s usually around 1pm when I stand right here to order my weekday skinny cap in lieu of lunch. I’ve been up since 5am, driven the hour to and from work (where ruthless efficiency is strictly observed) and then caught…

The Week Night Book Club: The Colour of Tea by Hannah Tunnicliffe.
Image courtey of bluedingonet.wordpress.com It’s funny how some novels register on your reading radar at pivotal times in your life. I’ve had ‘The Colour of Tea’ on my Kindle for a few months now and for one reason or another, never got around to reading it until last weekend. It’s the first novel by Hannah…

The Price of Beauty is $2.80.
It was only a matter of time, I guess, before my love of a cheap fashion fix influenced my make up buying mindset. For me, make up isn’t just about the product, it’s also about that solid click of a well made compact, the weight and feel of a tube of lipstick in my hand…

New Friends and High Tea at The Observatory Hotel, The Rocks, Sydney.
There’s only so many days of the weekend that I can spend at home before I get cabin fever. That magic number is 1, actually. So today I went Out. To High Tea with some rather lovely ladies. This is one of the many photos I took while I was Out. I think it illustrates…

The Housework. It’s Done. Already.
It’s been a historic Saturday here at SSG Manor. A non fashion, non cosmetic, non me related parcel. In the hallway of SSG Manor, no less. Not only was this the first parcel I’d ever received from Tradelink. You can tell that this handy towel rail and shelf combo is in my bathroom and not…
