What I Wore This Week
I’m a bit late with last week’s wardrobe wrap up, but with good reason; I spent the weekend road tripping around Brisbane and the Lockyer Valley (all to be revealed soon but it involved a crocodile, a tractor, ants in my pants and some carpool karaoke). On the shopping front, I picked up these amazing glitter high-tops from […]
MoreWinter sunrise at Noosa
Last month, I celebrated my birthday at Noosa and given we were staying just across from the beach at Sheraton Noosa, I couldn’t resist ducking out to catch the sunrise. Although it was the second day of Winter, it was a beautiful morning on the beach and not too cold (although I was layered up). […]
MoreNoosa Food & Wine
On Saturday morning, Brigid (my friend who is the creative genius behind Kokopod) and I set off on a road trip to this year’s Noosa International Food and Wine Festival for a day of eating and food shopping. The festival started back in 2003 as the Celebration of Australian Food & Wine Noosa Style featuring famous foodies including Stephanie Alexander, […]
MoreSmashing fun at Chinchilla Melon Festival
Would you believe I’m feeling somewhat melancholy after my long weekend in the rural town of Queensland at Chinchilla’s Melon Festival? There wasn’t a free motel room to be found for miles (or possibly even in Miles*) as more than 15,000 people converged on Chinchilla last weekend, effectively tripling its population, for the celebration of all […]
MoreI heart Brisbane
I think it’s become clear over the past few years that I’m a massive fan of the city in which I live—Brisbane. A few months ago, while trawling through my Facebook newsfeed (as you do), I stumbled across a Brisbane Times article by author Jessica Rudd who had just returned to Brisbane after six years […]
MoreAll fired up for Sunday skirmish
Sunday mornings are made for sleep-ins (or an attempt at one), morning walks along the river, trips to the markets and if I’m lucky, a lazy brunch in the sunshine. They are not, in most cases, for running through bushland in a pair of camouflage overalls that (unattractively) expose your ankles, wearing what looks like […]
MorePlay bingo in Sydney … ?
Bingo? What? Have I lost my mind? Yes. Bingo. No I haven’t. Please stick with me … Every year I pack up my carry-on suitcase and head south to Sydney to catch up with friends, indulge in drinks and dancing, and generally soak up the atmosphere of Australia’s most populated city. Home to beautiful beaches, iconic buildings, historic […]
MoreSitting pretty in Adelaide
Last month I discovered that Adelaide isn’t just the city of churches; it’s also the city of cyclists and crotches (as in lady parts). But before I delve into how I came to be flashed twice in the space of five minutes, I’ll share some favourite parts of my trip to the land of wineries, […]
