  • This Easter.

    This Easter.

    A certain someone wanted to make doubly sure that none of his Easter chocolate would melt this long weekend.  The Moet is just a distraction.  Let’s focus on the strawberries instead… It’s no secret that I love the Easter long weekend.  The only evidence of blatant hyper-commercialisation of Easter is the fact that hot cross…

    Lovin’ Life 29/3/2018: Easter Break!!!!!!

    The Easter long weekend is so close I can practically taste feel it… A tray (or should that be a jangle) of jingly, red bowed chocolate bunnies have been purchased ready to be given out after the last bell at school today. Grocery shopping armed with brunch from the Woolies sausage sizzle. The Easter feasting…

    Sweater Season.  MINISO’s Ultrasonic Facial Cleansing Brush.

    I don’t know for how long my enthusiasm will last but I was so excited to be wearing (by necessity) a knitted sweater over my gym clothes this week.  It was a chilly (by Sydney standards) 14C Tuesday morning.   Which makes me think that the heat we had over the weekend is possibly on its…

    Life This Week 26/3/2018: Story of My First Name.

    Do you have a Starbucks name?  Something that’s not your real name because no matter what that is, it’s going to get misspelled as attempts are made to hear you say your name repeatedly over the sound of the espresso machine and background chatter of a Starbucks at any given hour of the day.  Bonus…

    Friday Drinks #21: Dig Deep, It’s Easter Break This Time Next Week.

    Cheers to the weekend! It’s been a mixed bag for me and all I can say is that it’s going to be the Easter long weekend this time next week so dig deep, everyone! Following on from my Everlane first impressions post, I can happily confirm that their silk blouses are so comfortable and easy…

    Lovin’ Life 22/3/2018: Bonus Summer’s Days.

    I love that I spent last weekend, the third of autumn 2018 in shorts and Havs.  As much as I’m looking forward to the new season with its promise of crisp mornings, evenings spent snuggling, hearty food and cool weather fashion – I love summer too and am relishing that we’ve been gifted these extra…

    Everlane: First Impressions Of My First Order.

    And now, eight years since the brand launched and a good 3 years or so since the fashion blogging world first embraced them, a good 2 years at least since my discerning Instagram ladies started shopping them hardcore, may I present my thoughts on my first ever Everlane purchase. I will preface this review (and…

  • Life This Week 19/3/2018: Out My Window I See….

    Life This Week 19/3/2018: Out My Window I See….

    Out my window I see The Sydney Harbour Bridge as a graceful arching backdrop behind the happily bustling ‘stages’ of Circular Quay, The Rocks and The MCA. I know the area is considered touristy by many self respecting Sydneysiders but I personally cannot stay away.  There’s something about riding the City Circle and stopping at…

  • The Car Key Kerfuffle.

    The Car Key Kerfuffle.

    Say what you will about my life but you can’t deny that God and the universe always know when and how to make sure that my feet remain firmly planted to the ground, that my head will never grow too large to fit through the door and that at least one moment of each day…

  • Friday Drinks #20: Bits and Pieces. Delicious Things,

    Friday Drinks #20: Bits and Pieces.  Delicious Things,

    There’s something about rose.  Or maybe there’s something about rose in a can.  It goes down a treat with a pizza on a Friday night but it also seems to go straight to my head. Did you know that a tiny can like this contains 2.6 standard drinks!?!   This Crafters Union rose in a can…
