If you live in Australia and you're a Gen Y or younger, then no doubt you own at least a bunch of pairs of Havaianas, or Havi's as we so affectionately call them in our country where everything has a nickname. I've had many, many pairs since this genius brand came into being, in a multitude of colours – in fact, my bestie and I went through a phase of wearing mismatched colours – they're just too much fun and… Read more »
Yes, I'm a self-confessed stationery addict. And kikki.K is just one part of this rather huge obsession. Don't tell me you don't know kikki.K. If you don't…I don't know if we can be friends any more (just kidding, just promise me to check out their site). My sister, best friend, and I have a deep and mutual love of all things kikki.K. Even though we live far away, I always feel close to them when I go into the stores… Read more »
Okay, I think I have an addiction to addictions. It's a little out of control, I know, but if I love something, I REALLY love it and I tend to get a little obsessed. Autumn and Spring are definitely my favourite times of the year because I love mild weather. I know that in Australia, we barely get proper seasons but the idea of getting to wear whatever I want and still be comfortable makes me so happy. It also… Read more »
I've said it before, and I'll say it again, I have a problem when it comes to stationery. It would seem that I cannot go past a stationery store without going in, I buy more than I need, and – let's face it – I just can't get enough. Until recently, I stashed it – like a true junkie. I had so many note books and post-it notes and note cards and paper stashed around the place that I didn't… Read more »
I'm pretty sure that I started the Pandora craze in my family a few years ago – mentioning it to my dad who quickly jumped on board and started buying it for my mum – but my parents and my sister are the ones who have really turned the family Pandora craze into some sort of epidemic. Bailey bought me my first bracelet and charms and my mum and dad have contributed quite a bit along the way, but now… Read more »
Do you have any movies that you somehow end up watching every time they're on TV? That you sometimes forget how good they are and you've seen them a bunch of times (and not always start to finish, in just one of those 'I stumbled upon it and can't turn it off' ways?) I have a few but A Few Good Men is one of the main ones. I have probably only seen this film in its entirety a couple… Read more »
Uh-oh, it's happened again. Every time I go into Mimco, I swear, I somehow leave with more Mimco delights. It is definitely an addiction, I'm going to have to find a M.A meeting to attend. Last week, I was invited to the Mimco VIP night - champagne, chocolate buffet, and specials galore. This is what I left with: To add to my already quite extensive Mimco bag collection, I generally leave the house a walking Mimco advertisement. But I can't help… Read more »
I LOVE going to markets. I don't know why, well, actually I think I do. Markets are how life should be lived. Out in the sunshine, local produce, handmade things, people buying from the supplier instead of some dodgy, money hungry middle man. I can go on. Who thought it would be fun to put all the shops in a big building, with artificial lighting, unfriendly sales assistants, unnatural temperatures, food courts, screaming children, escalators that make you walk the… Read more »
Spring has always been my favourite season, but since this winter – my first in Sydney – has been SO cold, it feel like I am appreciating it even more this year. Looking forward to being outdoors in this beautiful city, getting into some of the bright colours of the season and spending time with good friends. Today Mandy and I hung out at Kirribilli near the water drinking coffee and chatting as we so often do. Summer shoes! … Read more »
