The Fourth of July. Observing Dry July with Maggie Beer. Sisters.
So much time between posts and so much to talk about. It’s just been busy, busy, busy for me. Work, deciding what to wear to work, keeping the house running / standing, keeping up with Toddler SSG and remembering to breathe. The one thing that’s keeping me sane and functional right now is that little…

As A Long Term Target Fan. Pea and Ham Soup.
I just couldn’t and I just didn’t. www.harpersbazaar.com.au As a long term Target lover, it pains me to have had to write this about their latest Australian designer collaboration. The neoprene shoes, the cut out backs in white shirts, the laser cut backs to jackets and across skirts. It all looked wonderful and in context…

Friends. Financial New Years Day.
First up, I’d like to apologize in advance if this post makes even less sense than usual. I’m in the throes of a major cheese and cake coma from morning tea at work today. We outdid ourselves with the line up of cake, cheese, crackers, prosciutto, gourmet lollies that graced the conference table today. There…

When Life Gives You Lemons.
It’s been a day of making a list, checking it twice, taking it everywhere with me and being pleasantly surprised to have gotten everything ticked off. My lists aren’t usually in order of priority. I just write down whatever I remember first and come back and add things as I remember them. I do, however,…

‘The School Run’. Back To MAC She Goes. Noodles and An Interview.
I know it defies logic but I feel bad when my $3.99 Kindle downloads kind of suck. I feel sorry for the author whose royalty from the $3.99 sale is going to be proportionally much less than that of the author of a $16.99 download. And while we’re on that point, why do paperless downloads…

Love For All.
Eloquent and considered as always. It wasn’t just about the hard fought ‘victory’ it will also be about respecting religious differences whilst also celebrating love for all going forward. It’s these few and far between moments that leave me inspired that we will leave our world a better place for our children and theirs.

The Park. One Pot Pasta.
It was lovely at the park yesterday morning. Toddler SSG and I arrived before the clouds got too grey and heavy and also before the mid morning crowd. We had the play area to ourselves and all the lawn and playing fields to run around too. The air had a fresh coolness to it which…

All the Big News Stories. Instant Chip Gravy.
In a week already dominated by major news stories like Pack-Carey (non Australian readers, that really is Mariah Carey hand in hand with one of our local billionaires) www.dailytelegraph.com.au and a case report of skinny jeans being dangerous to your health, www.gap.com.auGAP jeggings, my current skinny of choice. it’s been even more challenging than usual to…

If We Could Talk Brown Pencil Eyeliner For A Bit. The Weekend.
It’s been a while since we’ve discussed brown pencil eyeliners. They’re my one true make up love. I buy them obsessively and stay loyal to my favourites just as passionately. My record for repurchasing one particular pencil was three. And when I find a brand I love, I’m not above buying all the browns in…

Another Black Dress. Lego, New York Style.
There’s a price to be paid for being too efficient in the packing and decluttering stakes. And that would be finding yourself compelled to start filling up the space you’ve created with things that you previously didn’t have room for. www.mixapparel.com.au This black 3/4 sleeve dress from Mix ($25) serendepitously found its way into my…
