An Urban Summer’s Day. Jamie’s Italian, Sydney.
Summer emits a different heat in the city. It’s infused with a layer of haze and the air feels thicker. You can’t hear the sea breeze over the din of buses and the street crossing buzzers. I also doubt that much of the sea is left in the breeze by the time it blows across…

Dreams and Day Dreams.
When I was a child, dreams were things of happiness and one of the most intensely experienced elements of my imagination. Such was the power of my good dreams that I had been known to wake up with a smile on my face, without a wake up call and on a school morning. Dreams defied…

A Bohemian Right Hand Ring Party Of One. Next Direct Denim Does Flares With Flair.
It all started on Monday night with the twitter crowd. Our tweets were alive with the magic that is plastique fantastique (thank you for coining the term, L) high street costume jewellery. The debate was lovely and hilarious. I mean, under $15 for the alleged twin of a $300 ring? My only concern was whether…

SSG and Chobani Yogurt Talk Bone Health.
There’s something decadent about having your Greek yogurt home delivered in its own bespoke cooler bag. This week, Emily and Laura from Chobani Australia kindly arranged for this dairy care package to meet me at my front door. A rainbow of yogurt cartons on my kitchen bench. Chobani is currently America’s number 1 selling yogurt and…

A Wet Sunday. Being A Migrant To Australia.
Toasted turkish bread and rainy Sunday mornings are a match made in heaven. I’m so used to eating it fresh with dips that I’d forgotten it also makes fantastic toast – for those jaded palates that have moved on from sour dough and artisanal wholegrain type breads. Summer rain is also so conducive to giving…

Spare Room Confessions. My In Home Urban Grocery.
When sling back sandals lose their sling, it’s time to face the reality that one of your comfiest pair of summer shoes are now made for tripping over rather than walking in. I got these shoes about 7 years ago from Betts, they’re made by a brand called Zensu which used to make a lot…

MAC Memories. Breakfast at Tiffany’s. I Love Next Direct.
It’s amazing how the feel of a room changes completely just by moving the furniture around in it. In a bid to create more space in the study, we shifted the desk to sit just under the window from the middle of the room and all of a sudden, both space and a sense of…

Summer Driving. Summer Dinners.
The ideal pair of driving sunglasses can be hard to find. They need to be indestructible, light enough to be quickly pushed up and down on your face (in frustration more than due to changes in ambient lighting conditions) and double as a head band for when you make emergency trips to the servo after…
