Win a Virtu $100 Voucher – Your Style
Around here we talk about style a fair bit. Especially on Fridays. Plus size, regular size, or goodness knows they keep shuffling you between sizes and you’re losing your mind. Fashion, clothing and developing your own personal style. I think it takes something to work out a style for yourself. I see teenagers with a…

The princess and the…. sock?
The other night, late as usual, I crawled into bed next to my husband. The room was dark and his rhythmic breathing filled the silence of the room. Getting cosy down under the covers, I sighed.

90s Films – A Love Affair
There was a lady in our town when I was younger who dressed as thought the 1960’s never ended. Fringes and low flowing hair. Bell bottoms and platforms. I used to wonder what made that so darn special that she couldn’t let it go. Now well into her fifties this woman was stuck in…

Suger Residence
A long time ago I was looking at plans with Hubby and a builder deciding on the size of our lounge room. Based around the kitchen with wide island bench, I wanted a big space that was versatile, had high ceilings and would be the centre of our home. And 5 years ago {I think…

Get Blogged.
This weekend was a bit of a moment for my family, blog wise. My brother posted on his blog for the first time since before his almost 18 month old daughter was born and my sister had me open one for her. Both have been instructed that when they are rich and famous they owe…
