I mentioned my recent cafe hop around Brisbane and the sheer luck I had stumbling upon brand spanking new cafe, Two Trees in glorious West End, the heart of Brisbane's bohemia. The first day we saw it, the young guy yelled out to us that it was their grand opening the next day and we should come back then. So we did. We had a great coffee at Two Trees on their grand opening day. It's exactly what you would… Read more »
If you haven't heard of the Fox In Flats Style Dares yet, then you're completely missing out! I've done a few of them but I think this is the first time I've decided to write an entire post dedicated to one. This could be because it is so Spring-centered and everything just feels so Spring at the moment! Last week's style dare was…you guessed it…flowers! Here's how my week went: I don't know what it's been like where you are… Read more »
I know I'm not the first and I won't be the last to say that I love skinny jeans. The problem is, I'm yet to find my perfect pair (you know what I mean, the ones that fit perfectly in all the right places) and realised today that my biggest body envy is when I see ladies with perfectly fitting skinny jeans. How is it that their legs are the right length, their waists/hips/calves are proportionate enough that their jeans… Read more »
Last Thursday I ran home from work (mid TV wedding prep) and went along to the music and t-shirt launch of the lovely Morgan Joanel. I've known Morgan pretty much since I moved to Sydney and am often in awe of the creative abilities of this girl. She sings, writes music, plays multiple instruments, has mad skills with a looping pedal, draws, designs, and models on her blog MojoMade and her latest tracks are insanely good. The launch was held… Read more »
I have been dressing really 90's lately. I never thought that I would revisit this era, having painfully grown up in it but I think that is part of the reason I am embracing the 90s trends so completely. A few years ago, I would have never believed that I would wear my hair piled on top of my head or celebrate stacking bracelets and rings with so much joy. I never thought I would wear lace up ankle boots… Read more »
It's getting so cold in Sydney that I've got pretty much one thing on the brain at the moment: staying warm. With that comes snuggling under blankets on the couch, Bikram yoga, a delicious selection of teas, and my favourite winter accessories. Winter ASOS accessories by throughmylookingglass featuring a slouch beanie Possibly the ONLY good thing about living at the bottom of the planet is that when the Northern Hemisphere is awash with bikinis and denim cut offs, we can… Read more »
I hope you had a great weekend! This is going to be short and sweet but I wanted to tell you about two exciting things are taking place this week in my world. Firstly, my mum and grandma have come to visit for the week. Outside of Skype, I don't get to see them very often and we're having a great time just spending time together and touring some of my favourite Sydney spots. (This is one that we just… Read more »
I'm currently a little bit in love with pastels. The truth is that I generally like pastel colours, but at the moment they are everywhere and this makes me pretty happy. For the northern hemisphere, it's pretty legitimate that these Spring-like colours are everywhere at the moment, but I don't see why we should miss out down here in Australia. Going into winter, I've been looking for ways to make this colour trend more practical for the colder months. So… Read more »
Without even knowing it, I have been taking part in my own little arm party for some months now – probably ever since my sister introduced me to the crazy world of mixing Pandora bracelets. Since then, I have added a leather and chain bracelet and a beaded bracelet and a few other bits and pieces to the mix and I am officially obsessed! And it would seem that the rest of the world is too! Now all I need… Read more »
