Pre-spring celebrations

Life has been hectic lately. House parties are a great excuse to dress up, drink wine and dance like nobody's watching.

Vacant Lake

A pretty petal/fellow Brisbanite/creative design prodigy/overall lovely lady and cool chick I know has recently joined the blogging universe. Follow and share the lurve here.

"fs by FrockShop"

Currently: Resisting the urge to splurge on my favourite picks (above) from the FrockShop.com darlings' newly launched capsule collection "fs". I'm lusting over the feminine silhouettes, silky fabrics and eye-catching colours like a bratty child in a candy shop. If you'd like a 10% discount off any of the pieces, let me know below. X

Hello dreamboats. Here I present to you a few silly snaps from recent times.

Molten Store giveaway

Brisbane belle Jessy Cameron (above) recently swung me a note about her newly incepted baby Molten Store. You may be familiar with her blog Wide Awake Thoughts or work for FrockShop.com. If you fancy scoring some droolworthy bling, she has gotten her fine paws on a bunch of one of a kind Pyrite rings for Molten Store (also above) that could be gracing your fingers shortly.

Getting to know (and love) you!

To dear readers and new followers,

Style Icon: Miss Palermo

 

  

  

 

She plays the token mean girl on The City (not cool). But, day-ummm, she has a fabulous wardrobe (and bloody good hair). Besides, according to Shop Til You Drop editor Justine Cullen (@jussycullen): "Olivia Palermo was honestly one of the nicest, down-to-earth celebs I've ever met". Are you a Palermo lover or hater? She gets my vote.

Tumblr: July 2011

August is upon us and I'm hitting 22 years of oldness in exactly one month. I think I'll host a spring garden party to celebrate the impending wrinkles, though such an idea may or may not be owing to the yummy new floral additions to my wardrobe. In the meantime, the fatal Tumblr addiction continues. I blame the cute kittens!
