Lovin’ Life 23/8/2018: This Weather, We’re Loving It.
My excitement for spring is building with each of these August weekends that pass. It’s this weather. I can’t get enough of it. The bare branches overhead don’t look so bleak now that they’re framed by blue and dare I say it, warmish skies. It’s a lovely time the year to be a morning person.…

Bioscanned. Everlane’s V Heel, Among Other Things.
It’s amazing what a computer can tell you about yourself by just having you stand on some scales and hold onto a couple of paddles…. A local gym was canvassing the locals on the street last week and I ended up getting talked into a free Bioscan measurement. It probably wasn’t the brightest idea booking…

Lovin’ Life 16/8/2018: Golden Syrup Apple Dumplings.
Store bought fancy, glossy, creamy cakes have their place on Instagram and in our eyes but when my heart wants dessert? It wants hearty, buttery and homemade. Preferably served with a rustic, imperfect scoop of supermarket vanilla ice cream. Master SSG and I made Golden Syrup Apple Dumplings over the weekend using an oven recipe…

My #C2Surf Debut. My Birthday Weekend Continued.
Well. Anyone would think from reading my blog lately that I’m the only person in Sydney who ran the City 2 Surf for the first time this year. Preparation has taken up such a high proportion of my free time that it’s perhaps unsurprising I’ve been carrying on like a diva in activewear (never thought…

My Birthday Weekend So Far.
I couldn’t have asked for better weather for my birthday weekend. The babycinos were just as chuffed. It’s race day today and the ‘hood is preparing itself. The banners have been up for the last fortnight and it looks like a band or two will be performing on the the terrace of the local pub.…

Lovin’ Life 9/8/2018: Sunday Life.
How can you not love a sunny Sunday? The sun on your face as walk under the arching trees and past terraces and ornate light fittings. Perfectly positioned benches where you could gladly sit for hours catching those rays if you didn’t have to walk briskly onward to a pressing engagement. It’s a similar theme…

Life This Week 6/8/2018: Countries I Have Visited.
Travel is one of those things that I’ve come to appreciate far too late in life. I spent my footloose and fancy free twenties happily cocooned in a cozy vacuum. I had everything and everyone I needed right in front of me so there seemed to be no real need to get out there and…

Lovin’ Life 2/8/2018: COS Clothing. Lee Lin Calls It A Day.
I’m full of love at the best of times for COS print dresses, but I love them even more when they’re 70% off. This shift dress with a statement rolled neck ended up costing $40.40! www.glassdoor.com COS is an MVP in my wardrobe. Their stores are one of the few I actually enjoy visiting in…
