Well.  It definitely was a ColorDrama when I walked into Chemist Warehouse on Tuesday afternoon. Not a sight for sore eyes, Chemist Warehouse.  An empty spot where my favourite shade of ColorDrama (#630 Nude Perfection) should’ve been. See that empty slot above #630 Nude Perfection?  Therein lay the drama.  There were none to be had…

I’m going to sound so old as I write today’s post, I might as well start off with a picture of an easy chair for us all to digitally ease into.  Because there’s a high chance I could put everyone to sleep with today’s SSG Soapbox topic: Work Wear or the Lack Thereof. www.metmuseum.org Remember…

It’s all about embracing the topsy turvy of life for me today.  Things not quite going to plan but working out in the end anyway.  Surprise good news.  That kind of thing. This season’s flannel from Target.  Love a bit of pattern clash in the pyjama drawer. It was the official end of daylight saving…

Don’t you just love that first day of the month after a 31 dayer like March was? via pinterest It means you don’t have to press pause on your life on your way out the door to wind your watches so the date’s correct. Necklaces – Red Phoenix Emporium, dress – archival Metallicus. Leaving you…

Don’t you love how the leaves of autumn look?  Oh, and that lovely slightly scratchy rustle they make across streets and side walks as the wind gently puffs them this way and that? Don’t you love (not as much, mind you) sweeping those leaves up?  And how there never look to be as many of…

SSG Manor 2.0, I love you so. You’ve only been a part of our lives for six months but we’ve already made so many happy memories together.  You’re generally pretty easy to look after and your combination of the old and the new makes you both easy to live with and wonderful to look at.…

It’s going to be a challenge, but I wonder if it’s going to be possible to write a post Easter blog entry without it featuring any photographs of food?  For most of us, myself definitely included, this has been a weekend of indulgence.  But it’s also been lovely to have had the time and opportunity…

The print media landscape in Australia has changed markedly over the last few months.  At first, the changes were all pretty peripheral to my interests.  With Bauer Media taking over the interests of ACP Magazines in Australia in 2012, low lying, low readership titles were the first to go.  Then titles like Top Gear and…

It’s still the Easter long weekend, how can you not love life today? These are a few of my happy place memories from the weekend so far. Watching Preschooler (I’m on notice now since I accidentally called ‘long daycare with preschool hours’ just ‘daycare’ the other day)  SSG lick the whisk after we made icing for…

It’s not a bad life, this time of the year.  The weather’s cooler which makes it that much easier to take advantage of the relaxed sleep routine (or lack thereof) of the Easter Long Weekend.   I just seem to have so much more time on my hands today, for some reason.  Housework’s getting done,…
