Furry fun

I love a bit of faux fur thrown in the mix. Estée Lauder beauty ambassador Hilary Rhoda looked the epitome of style as she co-hosted a cocktail party to benefit New Yorkers for Children at the Chloé boutique in New York City. Her jacket adds a little bit of luxury to a classic ensemble. I l♥ve it...

Love Low Luv ♥

Multi-talented model/designer Erin Wasson and famed jeweller Pascal Mouawad teamed up to create this amazing jewellery collection. The promo shoot is dead sexy and the jewellery so uber cool.

Retro Dior

Classic silhouettes, style and glamour, John Galliano's Dior Spring 2011 Paris Haute Couture show was jaw-droppingly gorgeous. A tribute to fashion illustrator Rene Gruau, each look could have easily stepped straight off the artist's easel. A fitting legacy for such a talented man to leave with the fashion powerhouse. Hopefully this isn't the last we will see of Mr Galliano.

Moving House

They say that that moving house is the third most traumatic life event after a death in the family and divorce. In the past two years I have moved five times. Some people use moving house as a time to spring clean their belongings and get rid things no longer use. Whilst this may have been my goal on more than one occasion, the event usually involves too many green bags filled with odd ends and speedily stuffing my life into anything that will transport it.

So, lucky for me, I have just moved again. This move has been a bit different. This time I have packed up most of my life to store in the garage of my mother’s house and only kept out the things I use every day to take to my boyfriend’s house. Though I love having a full wardrobe to choose from, I have found the decision on what to wear each day has become much easier and less time consuming. It is almost like being on a bit of a holiday...

I am fortunate enough to have some of the most wonderful (and patient) people in my life who have been there to help me along the way. Special note to Carissa - what a pocket rocket! That lady has more strength than men twice her size and ute tray tetris skills to boot! 


Ever since I was a little girl I have relished in the excitement of opening my eyes on the first morning in a new bedroom. That slight confusion and disorientation followed by the thrill of new surroundings makes it all worth it.

Market Money

After years of hoarding mountains of clothes, I have finally made a significant cull. Not the pathetic attempts I have made in the past, but a serious sort through making tough decisions on what I actually wear. The main motivator, money. You would not believe the amount of money that can be made from old clothes laying at the backs of your draws. So far I have made over $400 dollars with plenty left to sell. 

Get a couple of friends together, have a quiet night in on a Saturday and spend your Sunday morning at a suburban market. Getting up is the hardest part, once awake you will have a lovely  time catching up, sipping coffee and eating fresh produce from neighbouring stalls whilst making a dollar or two. 

It is also terribly liberating alleviating yourself of some of your worldly possessions. Things won't make you happy, experiences will. I will be using the money I have made to fund my European adventure in June.

Happy Valentines Day!

Happy Valentines Day to all of my friends, family, colleagues and lovers!

When I asked my darling Daniel whether he would like to do anything to celebrate? He replied with 'Why do we need a special day to celebrate being together?' I agree. 

Clearly he is a lover of the thoughtful and simplistic, so I sent him the Avant Card postcard pictured with a simple 'Happy Valentine's Day, I love you'. It also had the super cute 'Will you be my dino time?' message on the back. Fingers crossed he checks his mailbox tonight xx
