With school holidays having only one more week remaining here, it seems I’ve spent a lot of time shopping these past few weeks. Shopping for food that is! Today is no exception as we head out to get more supplies for weekend lunches, afternoon teas and perhaps even all the makings of a good batch of...

Thank you so much for your patience everyone. This was a few days late in coming as I’ve had a terrible bout of tonsillitis and have had no voice! So while the tutorial was ready, the voice over wasn’t finished, so the moment I had a decent voice today I got it finished for you. Please excuse the...

Saturday was almost 40 degrees here, and that is the kind of heat that you really need to be prepared for. I recently came across this cute little 1980s summer number and knew that to make it oh so me, I’d have to style it up very 1940s.

I’ve been waiting for the perfect day to wear this 1940′s styled, vintage inspired dress by Trashy Diva. The Sadie dress really gets it right. A light cotton blend with a strong green background and delightful floral print, all with a waterfall of tiered ruffles across one hip. Sadly, Melbourne’s weather has not...

I haven’t been brave enough to count how many shoes now live in my wardrobe. I know that there are quite a number that should really never been worn outside of a photo studio for fear of permanent injury… yet I do. After weeks and weeks on my feet and suffering from the most hideous swollen legs and...
