A few weeks ago my work was in an exhibition as part of the launch of Vintage Garage, a Melbourne store selling rare and unique and nostalgic things. It’s a bit strange having work appear in interstate shows but it’s also very exciting! I’m also really happy that the shows I’ve been doing lately aren’t…

Chambord Shine Awards – Melbourne
Sponsored by Nuffnang It’s no secret that I am totally in love with Melbourne so I was very excited to fly down for the second heat of the Chambord Shine Awards! I’d packed my suitcase full of Queensland sunshine and my husband’s daggy old hoody in anticipation for a cold overnight stay but I was…
New City Chic Bourke St store
Last week I posted some photos of the City Chic Bourke Street store under construction, and tonight Hayley told me that the new store has reopened and these photos taken by her are the first peek! The new fit-out makes good use of the tenancy space and I appreciate the spacious layout that solves the…
City Chic Bourke St happenings
I know a lot of plus size bloggers love a bit of Aussie plus size brand City Chic so I couldn’t resist posting these photos of the Bourke St store refit. I always check out City Chic in Bourke St when I’m in Melbourne because I find things there that I’ve never seen at the…
Wherein I wear clothes in another city
I’ve had a pretty exciting week, and not all of it due to the crazy amount of blog love (and a bit of stern e-disapproval!) This past few days I’ve been in Melbourne taking part in a body image project and meeting the fabulous Jacqui, and then last night I got news that I will…

A raspberry amandine from Choukette. I love that place! A white-cheeked gibbon at the…
Loving Melbourne trams
Yes, Nick and I are back and you can expect a solid week of swooning over Melbourne stuff. But first… the trams. I never thought I’d be so enamored of a public transportation system but after a week of catching several trams daily my love is for sure. We even went to the Hawthorn Tram…
Ghostpatrol video by inframe.tv
If you haven’t heard of Ghostpatrol, definitely check out this video. I have admired his style for a few years, and I really respect how many mediums he has crossed! I took a few photos of his graffiti work while we were down in Melbourne in December, I got such a kick out of spotting…
Melbourne street art
We’re back! Nick and I just adored Melbourne… we were thinking about moving down earlier last (!) year but this trip really confirmed it for us. The weather was perfect – it really felt like a Brisbane winter down there, funnily enough. I took photos of the work on a few laneways… I wish I…
