We have this joke in my family because my dad is probably the craziest receiving-stuff-in-the-mail' guy I know – the dude knows how to shop online, I'm not going to lie. As a result, I seem to have inherited this gene and packages just make me happy. When we were in high school, Dad would ask my sister and I to walk around to the post office to collect the mail and we would do so to avoid being greeted… Read more »

Something mysterious arrived in my letter box the other day. This super cute Pantone postcard: It was signed, Love Kate but had no return address. I know a few Kate's but had NO IDEA who this was. I put a call out on Twitter, Instagram, and Facebook and all I got in return was a sarcastic remark from my bestie that it was obviously 'from Kate'. Duh, hehe. Anyway, days passed until I was on Bloglovin' last night and saw… Read more »

I always love seeing what people are sending back and forth to each other, so I thought I'd do an In The Mail post as it has been a while and although I've been lazy lately, I have received some fun things in the mail! Mixer from Catch Of The Day – It's my starting point before splashing out on a KitchenAid   A lovely package of goodies from overseas from my friend, Shamere   Some tea from a delicious… Read more »

It's been an online shopping frenzy in my household lately! The boy gets up early and I stay up late and, between us, we get ample guilt-free online shopping done. Here are some things that arrived in the mail for me over the last week or two from some really great online shops – watch out, you might get hooked too: These dresses from In Love With Fashion   A Bardot jumper from The Iconic (I love this shop and… Read more »

It has been a while since I've done one of these and, man, do I have some super duper mail love to share with you. This week my much anticipated Cambridge Satchel Company satchel arrived from Modcloth and I couldn't not show you. I have been lusting over this bag for SO LONG and when my grandma gave me money for my birthday, it went towards getting my hands on it. Finally, it's here!   I won a Golden Half… Read more »

This week my Dutchie finally arrived and we (read: Bailey) put it together. Now I just have to buy a helmet, bike pump, and lock so I can finally ride it!! A while back I won an Elliatt outfit from The Chronicles of Her blog and it just arrived. Unfortunately they were sold out of the pink top to match the skirt so I got to pick something from the Elliatt A/W 2012 collection, which was actually even better! My… Read more »

In The Mail is becoming a pretty regular feature around here. I think this is because A) I order WAY too much online and 2) I have wonderful friends and family who know how much I like getting sent things in the mail ;) I got a letter from my beautiful mum also containing a Pandora bead that I left behind in Brisbane and a cute pink ring that she decided to pass on to me. Score ;) A letter… Read more »

Yesterday marked the first day of National Letter Writing Week (apparently) in (I think) the USA and Canada. I have picked this up on numerous blogs and although I can't confirm that this is the same in Australia (otherwise it would, most likely be called International Letter Writing Week), I thought it seemed like a good enough motivator to send some letters (especially as we apparently don't have a National Letter Writing Week). I have mentioned on many occasions my… Read more »

For some reason, the two weeks leading up to Christmas are always so hectic. I haven't been working that much, just doing some casual days on various shows, but I still feel like the time is passing SO quickly. Here are some bits and pieces that have been going on in my world over the last week or so: Awesome Christmas party with friends   Cherries!   New Salt and Pepper shakers   A beautiful Christmas present from my friend,… Read more »
