Stella McCartney

I have to admit, I like to spoil myself from time to time. What woman doesn't! However, I am trying to cut that habit down a little to increase my travel budget {emphasis on trying}. But I found these beauties recently and just had to have it - Stella McCartney lace balconette bra and matching underwear. The delicate lace details, the soft blush tone - certainly puts a smile on my face just thinking that it's mine. Thank you Stella McCartney for creating such a gem! Thank you Net-A-Porter for making online shopping such a convenience. No crowds, no fuss, and might I say the impressive packaging and delivery service puts you guys on another level. Certainly made me feel like a VIP. Well done!

Trending NYFW Fall 2013

New York fashion week is now done and dusted (with London fashion week now in full swing). Did anyone notice a certain combo trend on the streets of New York: shades of primary colour and coats as capes. I personally loved it. Mixing two of my favourites. Both classic and fun.

Guilty Pleasures From Home

As much as I love living in my new home {current city: London} there are certain aspects of my life that I miss. Apart from the obvious, family and friends, there was one guilty pleasure that I miss dearly - my regular visits to Zimmermann's Brisbane CBD store. Reason 1) to see what was on offer and 2) catchups with Vella, the cute bubbly sales assistant where I could play dress up and test out the new stock. These sessions occasionally ended with me splurging on myself. {Trust me, if you've ever tried on a piece you'd want to take it home too!}

Nothing beats going in store and physically touching the beauty that has been produced. Seeing first hand a designer's vision become reality; delicate fabrics, vibrant prints, perfectly draping over the natural curves of a woman's body. Can you see why I miss it. For now I'm just going to have to click through the various pages of their website and social media sites. Maybe sneak in a little alone time with the pieces I was able to bring with me to London. Sigh.

Here is my favourite print, done three ways, from their upcoming RTW Spring/Summer collection. I am such a sucker for floral. Subtle, feminine, timeless.

Hello Mr Snowman

Yep. It finally snowed. Not just for an hour, but for a whole weekend. I couldn't help myself be obsessed with making miniature snow people. One looking over at St Paul's Cathedral, while the other looking over a beautiful georgian terrace home at my friend Jane's.  When it snows, and you are outside walking the streets, I must say it is the most prettiest memorable sights I have laid my eyes upon. I just couldn't stop smiling all weekend!

Vote Now Triple J

It's that time of year again! Voting for your hottest songs for 2012 on Triple J. I've just voted have you? Only a few more days until voting closes...so hurry! Exactly 20 more days until Australia Day and that's when the biggest party in Australia (and the world due to all us Aussie expats scattered around the globe) come together to hear the countdown. It will definitely be surreal to have to celebrate it on the other side of the world, but I have a funny suspicion that it won't be too hard to find a London pub here in Shepherd's Bush willing to stream the live countdown. Aussie Aussie Aussie!! Oi Oi Oi!!

Which songs were your favourites for last year (2012)?!

Year of Change

The year 2012 has been an amazing year for me...a year of change. I hope you all have had a great year, and thank you all (you know who you are) for supporting me throughout the year. I've had some ups and downs, some challenges, some laughs, but overall an amazing year. Here's to 2013!
