It’s the most brilliant time of the year here, when the weather gets milder! My lovely friend Kathleen bought this pashmina back from India for me, a gift I really treasure because it has paisley woven into it. I wore it the other night even though it was still pretty humid! I’m still loving the…

Pls sir, I want some moiré
An art exhibition opening on a Sunday? Goodness, my brain just divided by zero! I wore what I’d usually wear to a night time event, something a bit crazy and fance. The Departure exhibition was at a council gallery just out of Brisbane, and I think that’s why the event was held at such an…
New clobber: let me show you it
There is nothing more thrilling than being roused by the postie making an early morning parcel delivery and then sitting in bed ripping everything open like a 4 year old on Christmas day. Oh wait, there is something more exciting… trying everything on and having it all fit perfectly! It seems like I’ve been waiting…
Maxi-dress for a country wedding
I wore this to my cousin’s wedding on Saturday which was held in some beautiful venues half way between Brisbane and the Gold Coast. The church was positioned in the middle of cane fields, and paired with the magnificent blue sky and the fluffy clouds it was the perfect day! The reception was at the…
Two oufits: Ikea vs Theatre Opening
Nick and I went to Ikea in search of containers for our kitchen cupboards and I felt like wearing something comfortable and loose. I am a big fan of Susie from Style Bubble and the way she wears oversized clothes with longer proportions, but I also thought it was fun to change my silhouette. I’m…
Night and day
Last week was pretty overwhelming and I’m still coming to terms with the death of my Uncle Pete, so I feel like I have just been putting on clothes in the dark. It’s made me think though, personal styling isn’t always about presenting the most fashionable or on-trend you at any particular time. It’s more…
Florals for a drizzly day
Yesterday was a big day. I set off early to visit my grandmother down the coast with my sisters, but we had to come back shortly after lunch because one of my uncles is very sick in hospital with pancreatic and liver cancer and it’s not looking good. It was a pretty sad day, and…
Lunch outfit and new hair
Dress: City Chic Boots: Torrid Sunglasses: Giant Vintage I went out for lunch with my family at their soon-to-be local pub on the weekend and decided to break out the paisley dress. Everyone usually has a giggle when they see me wearing this! When I can afford new clothes I’ll be buying more floral dresses…
A night at Byblos
Last night I went out with the fabulous Sonya to dine and sip fancy cocktails at Byblos within the recently enfancened Portside district. The food menu is based on pretty classic Mediterranean dishes but the cocktail and drinks list is the real stunner. But first, what I wore: Nick took this when I came home,…
Swapsies
My friend Zoe held a clothes swap today for a handful of friends and I was totally unprepared and didn’t bring anything to swap, but gladly took a chance to spend the afternoon with friends. So while I look a bit pouty in this photo, I’d perked up considerably by the afternoon! I wasn’t really…
