Are you ready, Sydney? It’s going to be the hottest October day for 156 years today and I’m going to be spending some of it poolside, in my fetching Woolies gardening slippers. The pool at Prince Alfred Park has recently been refurbished and entry is free until early November. It’s a beautiful spot tucked behind…

Good morning from inner city Sydney! Where the sun’s glorious and the running equally so.     It’s been a while since I’ve done an outdoor run completely on my own and I’d forgotten the unique joys of inner city running. With my sunglasses on and a Genius playlist as my soundtrack, I was taken…

Let the judgment begin.   Look at what attached themselves to the pram at Woolies yesterday. A pair of turquoise ladies garden shoes. That’s right, these clod hoppers may look like mock Crocs but they’re more correctly referred to as garden shoes. I’m working on an outfit post based on these just in case you…

There’s only so many times you can squeeze a seemingly empty Kiehl’s deluxe sample tube and be rewarded with just enough product to cover your face before your luck runs out.       I conceded defeat yesterday morning but somehow found the strength to go on.  And it’s just as well I did because look what Parcel…

Good very early Sunday morning! It feels like the old days for me. A bit of time to myself, a large mug of tea (double tea bag) and the hankering for a bit of lightweight celebrity inspired blogging…. I’ve written about this strangeness before, I’m sure. The fascination that some adult women (myself included) have…

Well here’s to the long weekend, Perth! Living in Perth at the moment, it’s difficult to appreciate that there is a world beyond tomorrow’s AFL Grand Final. The city is both eerily quiet and vividly purple as we head into the game tomorrow. It would be a fairytale ending for Fremantle if they were to…

I don’t remember ever being as obsessed (and upset) about the weather in Perth as I have been these last few weeks. I’m all for the city adopting the Melbourne approach to dressing and dining but the rain and four seasons in one day business? No thanks. Border security needs to take a firmer stance…

  This is the handbag equivalent of my Rockport wedge heels. Soft leather, goes with everything, easy to wear and best of all, I got it on sale at Witchery. It was practically free because I had Witchery dollars to redeem as well. I was pleasantly surprised at just how supple and thick the leather…

When the weather conspires to keep you indoors, there’s not much to do but bring on the marshmallow sweetened hot drinks and lose yourself in a good book or two. I’ve read two novels recently that you might be interested in yourselves, if you’ve not read them already. The first is a whimsical retelling of…

Perth people, is it just me or is this weather messing with your minds too?  The sunny days we had last week had me rushing out to find some cooler (in both senses of the word) clothes  My current uniform of fleece zip up tops, mom jeans and hiking shoes just aren’t cutting it out here…
