I’ve long given up on trying to come up with original and witty blog subjects, so today I am borrowing from X-Ray Spex! Funnily enough I did a lot of hand washing this afternoon but not because I was doing anything especially infectious, rather I was screen printing some patches soon to pop up on…
All posts in Fashion
Let me do you a favour.
I wore something really cute the other day (and in days before that) but I have been so busy (oh just casually buying a HOUSE! and doing other things) that I’ve not had a moment to grab Nick to take photos. The other curious thing is that even though we live with Nick’s Mum at…
One glittery foot on a rung, the other trailing.
Listen up! I am not going to feel bad about having a blog holiday, orright?! Sorry about the defensive opener, but yes, I have been away. No I haven’t been doing anything too exciting, in fact I’ve been focusing on looking after myself. Not in a frozen meal “looking after yourself” lifestyle brand way but…
Pre-birthday unbirthday.
[Warning: this post contains an animated gif.] The Wheel of Brisbane is pretty much a huge laughing stock situated at South Bank, a somewhat scaled down version of the London Eye. Normally it costs a ridiculous amount just for the pleasure of seeing exactly what you might if you were on a balcony somewhere on…
Road testing my doona dress on a rainy day.
My friends Sonya and Zoe came down the coast on Saturday and we headed out to Burleigh for coffee, food and muggy day playground times. I have been struggling with the muslin for this dress for weeks; even though it’s based on this dress, adding sleeves was a complicated task especially because I have such…
I am the Twelfth Doctor?
Doctor Who used to scare me when I was little so I went for a long time without ever really watching it. Just the theme song intro would be enough to freak me out, so I always changed the channel! It wasn’t until this last year that I started actually watching the most recent series…
The Village Markets.
With the runaway success of markets like Finders Keepers I’m so pleased to see smaller weekly and fortnightly markets popping up. When we moved down here I wasn’t sure what kind of arts and crafts scene was going on, but after visiting the weekly Village Markets at Burleigh Heads State School today I’m pretty stoked…
This dress and its associated struggles.
I bought this dress on sale about a year ago from Myer, it was reasonably priced and comfortable and at that stage I was desperate to get some casual dresses into my wardrobe. The problem with this dress is that while it’s comfortable, it’s also incredibly hard to wear without making me feel really frumpy.…
Just call me Casual Perkins.
I love seeing casual outfits on bloggers. I don’t mean “oh I just slipped on these really expensive wedges and woops everything coordinates perfectly and how convenient it is that I have a full face of make up and perfect hair” kind of outfits. That’s not casual for me. My brand of casual is an…
The Cambridge Dilemma.
I have been besotted with Cambridge Satchels for a long time and what’s funny is that I don’t know if it really has been a long time or if time just slows down when I’m drooling over them. Since their fluoro satchels have been spotted on trendy people they’ve become something of a desirable item…
