Sunny Days. Sephora. The Met Store.
And then there was sun. Loads of it. Which made it so much easier (and more pleasant) to be out getting things done. I reckon I must have spent at least half of yesterday simply looking upwards without my sunglasses just to get almost blinded by the light. Denim jacket – Zara, black shift –…

Thank You, Australia.
Happy Australia Day, everyone! After the energy depleting heat and humidity over the last couple of days, Australia Day Monday is turning out to be a cool and grey one in Sydney. The patriotic pork pie hat one of us was planning to make another one of us wear today is still lying flat on…

Friday Fashion. Remembering Dubai.
Sometimes, when you’re underwhelmed with the prevailing winds of fashion, you just have to go it alone and sail off on your own. Bangle – Lovisa. I’m on a roll with $5 finds there right now. Currently at SSG Manor, we are embracing blue and bold prints. Blouse- Uniqlo, pencil skirt – J Crew. Preferably…

Mailing List Maturity. Reese’s New Film.
I made a New Years resolution several years back which involved removing myself from as many mailing lists as I could. An extension of this was to not add myself to new lists each time I discovered a new etailer. The theory being that with much less tempting junk coming through to my inbox, I’d…

Glebe. ‘My Salinger Year’. A Report From My Kitchen.
The whole aim of summer weekends, as far as I can tell, is to spend as much of them outdoors as possible. And the earlier you can start out on the Saturday morning, the better. There’s the benefit of a touch of coolness to the air and a bit of shade to go with the…

Intermittently Living the Etsy Life. Rimmel’s Provocolips. Cake Fail.
It’s as if Toddler and I have been doing this for years. My bag – Mulberry Bayswater, skirt – Boden. Toddler SSG’s backpack – Tiny Me, outfit – T by CO Kids and shorts from Mix Kids. It’s been two weeks since daycare started and we’ve slipped into a routine that works for both of…

Globes, Ribcages and ‘The Rosie Effect’. Variety for A Wednesday.
I know I’m starting today’s post off with photos from this week’s Golden Globes but don’t worry, you won’t be getting my considered opinion on the Fay and Poehler assessment of their colleagues and world politics. www.eonline.com Nor will I weigh in on the lifetime achievement joke that they leveled at Amal…

And Now They Are Two.
It’s been a bit grey and blegh in Sydney, hasn’t it? But at least the drizzly start to the week delivered me a cup of coffee from my favourite cafe at work. The girls are back from holidays at The Courtside Cafe and they’re brewing as mean a coffee as they ever did. It was…

Of Catching Up, Washi Tape and Pink Mega Bloks.
Hello Friday, you universal day of happiness. The day on which takeaway coffees magically balance on lift railings for a full five storey ride upwards without spilling. Linen blouse – Uniqlo, necklace – Lovisa. Unfortunately, my $3 bargain necklace broke after taking this photo (the karma of selfies perhaps?) and is no longer. And…

MId Week News. Sigma v Furless, My Verdict.
It’s Wednesday and we’ve all survived. I’m not sure how but somehow appointments have been kept and a satisfying number of things have been crossed off various shopping and to do lists. Shame it’s not the weekend already or even a short working week because I think I need a huge catch up sleep.…
