Let’s go out, date night outfit
We haven’t been on many date nights lately. Date night had meant us both arriving home before 8pm, and someone brought dinner home with them. Busy busy and all that. But date night was reinstated this past weekend and so I donned a leather wrap around skirt of awesome to celebrate. Mel’s leather wrap around…

The worst patient ever.
I’m the worst patient ever. From the first niggle or tickle in my throat, I start to complain. Complain that I don’t have time to be sick. Complain that I’m sick and tired. Complain that I’m waaaay too busy and important for such things. It turns out, the flu (yup; I have the actual flu)…

Slouchy: My favourite casual outfit
In sharing my favourite casual outfit of the moment, I have to share another thing… My favourite thing to do at the moment is slouch. Slouchy clothes, slouchy attitude, slouchy all the things. It’s that I’ve had all sorts of free time over the past week or two and I when I’m not busy I…

When fashion right is wrong.
Let me tell you about the time I seriously misjudged the unofficial dress code at Palazzo Versace. Actually, now that I write that, there probably IS an official dress code that I missed. Whooops. Anyway. That’s a story you’d like to hear, right? I know I give off this vibe like I’m perfectly poised and…

Celebrating your weird
I shared that I was awkward the other day and the awkward amongst us said me too! Together we get to celebrate our weird. Those unique things which make up our personality. But are you celebrating you for all you are? The acknowledgement of them and owning of them is one thing, to celebrate them…

People like to talk about how your 30’s are those years when life gets that wee bit easier. You’ve established yourself and worked through and decided upon the things that make you. Maybe you’re earning a little more money, you’ve settled into your house, and all is well in the world. Thirty. Easy, I’ve got…

Binge watching The Cosby Show.
I was raised by a man, a man who happens to be my father, who loves the Cosby Show. He loved it almost as much as he loved us. Interrupt his show and you’d find out how small that gap was. So I grew to love it too. It shaped me, and the conversations with…

Just one thing lives on!
Last week went really well for me. I took the time to cook more meals than not this week. It made a difference to us. We ate earlier, we ate better and we ate together. Small things and just one thing that made a difference to how we lived this week. At one stage I…

The triumphant return of the sneaker
I’m okay with heels. Happy to wear them and often do but when the ‘powers that be’ said the humble sneaker was making a comeback in a big way I got a wee bit excited. Adding a sneaker to anything just makes it more relaxed, casual and cool. The more retro, the better. The more…

Knowing when to quit people
I talk a lot about the value of people, relationships and family here. I am an advocate accepting people as they are. I encourage others to adopt the live and let live approach. I wasn’t always like this, I used to be the fool me once shame on you, fool me twice, NO FREAKING CHANCE…
