How lucky we were to have a quality weekend away in the scenic country town of Daylesford, just before Victoria’s iso restrictions came back into place! We stayed at the Station House, which is a very photogenic rustic homestead. Fit with french windows, stately fireplaces, art adorned walls, and beautiful antique furniture, every corner of […]
I love a recap so I’ve hit the keyboard to look at my year that was! Full disclosure before you read on, while everyone experiences ups and downs (myself included), this recap focuses only on the positive because who wants to end the year being a negative nelly? In 2017 I was lucky to have plenty […]
In April this year my sister Candice married her partner. Of everyone in my family Candice is by far the most organised, and true to form she arranged every wedding detail herself, including her hens party. With the maid-of-honour role requiring no work and just the glory of the title at stake, my sister […]
Last week I crept over the border of the mid-twenties and turned twenty-eight! It’s a strange interim age where I don’t feel old but I don’t feel young. You know, while I don’t yet crave hard boiled lollies, I do recognise the merit in afternoon napping. When I was nine my idea of the perfect […]
With a wood fireplace crackling away and the sweet scent of aromatic curries, Horn Please in Fitzroy North was the perfect dining experience for a winter’s night out. It was a typically cold Melbourne night in June, and rugged up in my winter coat, the frosty wind still permeated though my body, but entering the […]
It hasn’t gone unnoticed that one of my most well received blog posts is of the wedding of my little sister, Pamela. I get it. I’m not too proud to admit I have a secret wedding board where I pin an eclectic mishmash of wedding inspo, so yes I also love checking out other people’s […]
There are the oversharers of the internet who we love to follow because of their all too candid online revelations. On the most part though, society has become more social media savvy and we now tend to err on the side of caution with our social media and blog sharing. But these carefully curated posts […]
With Melbourne’s wet winter weather fast approaching, last weekend I made the most of the unexpected sunshine and took a 90-minute drive to the quaint country town of Trentham. Surrounded by the Wombat State Forest, as you drive into Trentham you’re greeted by beautiful native greenery. The main attraction however is the longest single drop […]
Melbourne based filmmaker Girish Makwana, has created a thought provoking film which considers the cross-cultural experiences of prejudice, fear and love. The Colour of Darkness tells two stories, one set in 1965 in India, and the other the year 2010 in Melbourne. These two tales intersect to show the pervasive forces of discrimination and fear […]
Velvet seats and bright lights, the electrifying energy of a live performance, and an opportunity to wear my vintage fur while not feeling overdressed thanks to the woman in a floor length cape to my right and the man in a top hat two rows ahead, it was of course a night out at the […]
