  • An Electric Blanket and Other Non-Election Things From the Weekend.

    Guess who got out of the right (and toasty warm) side of the bed this morning? Sweater – Mix Apparel, necklace – Louisa Rose. Me!!!!!!! And it’s all thanks to my new, whizz bang electric blanket. Not only does it have dual control heating, the controls are even backlit. The fanciness!  I wonder if it’s…

    Lovin’ Life 3/7/2016: Louisarose and Co.

    What can I say?  I don’t think I’ve met a statement necklace I don’t like.  Statement shoes can be painful to walk in while statement earrings tend to get caught in my hair.  Don’t get me started on bracelets and bangles – I have a habit of banging them hard into things at the most…

  • Election 2016. A Good Time Was Had By All.

    I know I was going on about how boring the lead up to Election 2016 was but now that I think about it, I’m glad the campaigns were all about policy and that the majority of our potential leaders are intelligent and articulate men and women who have the country’s best interests in their hearts…

  • The Democracy Sausage. Other Things.

    It’s not been the most exciting lead up to a Federal Election, Australia.  Admittedly, it was a big ask to have Mr Shorten and Mr Turnbull come up with internet breakers / meme generators that could compete with Brexit or The Donald but I’d secretly hoped something would’ve happened by  now. via Twitter Thank goodness,…

  • Unexpected Joy and Beauty. It’s Tax Time.

    There are those days of winter that are just made for Necklaces – Red Phoenix Emporium, skirt – Banana Republic, leather jacket – heavily discounted Burberry (the best kind!!) from the sometime during the pre mummy years of my life. refusing to wear fancy-ish work clothes and stepping out in your best all weather gear…

  • Lovin’ Life 26/6/2016: All the Fun of the Weekend.

    Well hello, Lovin’ Life linky readers. It’s been a while since I last wrote for Leanne’s link.  I’ve been away, I’ve been working weekends, it’s all been a bit crazy.  But I’m here today, better late than never.  It’s been a lovely weekend.  Busy but full of fun and good things like this Margaret River…

  • Brexit. Thermals. Everything But July 2.

    Brexit.  Thermals.  Everything But July 2.

    Brexit it is, then. It’s a result that has shocked the world.  The British citizens and residents in my network of friends are questioning the motives behind the ‘leave’ vote that the majority of their countrymen have cast, Prime Minister Cameron has resigned, the markets are in free fall and oh yes, it’s just over…

  • A Gowings Girls Night Out.

    You could dress the intersection of Park and George in a hessian sack and it would still be the belle of the ball. I was in town last night for a much needed girls night out and manage to catch these photos of a clear dusk sky as it silhouetted the QVB and Town Hall.…

  • Coles Group Gift Cards. The Confusion Therein. Tuesday In General.

    Now here’s something that’s a bit counterintuitive. Did you know that Coles Group & Myer gift cards can’t actually be redeemed at Myer online?  That’s right, you can redeem them at every other retailer in the Coles group except the one that’s actually on the front of the card.  Drat and double drat.  Drat because…

  • Winter Wanderlust.

    A change is (almost) as good as a holiday.  The change in question, for me at least, is the weather.  It really is winter now, isn’t it?  Up until now it’s been a bit cold, then sunny, a bit to very wet, then sunny but over the weekend?  It was cold, wet and grey right…
