As part of my quest to find joy in the little things, I have miraculously filled February up with wonderful things. And it's not even the full way through! Here some of the things I'm feeling grateful for this week: Last weekend I went to the markets and just wondered around with my friend looking at all the beautiful handmade delights. We're so lucky in Sydney to have so many creative people and markets all over the place – beats… Read more »
If you've been around these parts for a while, you will know that I also have a beauty blog called The Perfect Lipstick. I started it last year with my mum not long after meeting a group of wonderful beauty bloggers at an afternoon tea that I kind of crashed (as a non-beauty blogger). But we loved cake and lipstick equally so I ended up fitting right in! On Saturday afternoon, I had the pleasure of venturing out with them… Read more »
I spent Friday night at Oxford Art Factory in Darlinghurst seeing some great Aussie bands for a super cheap price. $20 tickets, $5 frozen cocktails, free street parking – what more can you ask for. Oh yeah, ridiculously good music, oh man. First up was Battleships who, thanks to my PS3-playing boyfriend, I automatically want to call Battlefields (sorry, guys!) I also didn't take any photos of them because at the time they were on stage, I was toting two… Read more »
Last week I mentioned how things have been lately. To be honest, not much has changed in the past week and the lack of posting has been because these two lovely ladies came to visit me: It was amazing spending three days with my mum and sister. We talked a lot, ate a lot, and just spent good, quality time together. I don't know if this is a 'most families' thing or a 'my family' thing (we're a bit strange)… Read more »
You know how sometimes, you feel as though a change is coming and you're just waiting for it to hit? I kind of feel as though that is happening to me at the moment. I have no idea where all the things that are coming at me are going to lead, but there is definitely a change coming and it is definitely exciting. This weekend, I was feeling a bit blah. It happens sometimes and I just wished that I… 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 have been unbelievably lucky lately to be able to escape the confines of my desk to go out and 'reccie' places all over Sydney. As exciting as getting out of the office is, the weather has been unbelievable and I have collected some photos from my various travels. I haven't edited or Instagram'd any of these, they're el naturale straight from my iPhone. What do you think? I think I definitely need to stop complaining about my job…. 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 »
Okay, seriously, I'm sure I say this every month but June just ran past me like a girl at a shoe sale. Seriously! I had high hopes to do a number of things in June (including the 30 Days of Lipstick challenge) but then it was over and I don't really recall what happened at all! Do you ever have months like this? If you missed it, here's what happened over here last month: Nothing really went as I planned… Read more »
