More Christmas beauty: highlighters
December 23, 2010
Recently I wrote about what (summer) Christmas beauty means to me: instead of the rich reds and crimsons favoured by winter Christmas beauty aficionados, I’ve always loved vivid, deep or festively bright pinks coupled with rich browns, all of which suit the bright light, warm air and festive summer dresses afforded by an Australian Christmas.

(pink) Christmas beauty
December 5, 2010
I am still a child when it comes to Christmas: I love putting up the tree (with Bing Crosby playing on the record player), selecting presents and carefully wrapping them, writing cards, tying ribbons and preparing special food. I also love dressing up for Christmas day and a month of parties and dinners. For me, […]

September 7, 2010
Beauties, hello again! I am still über excited about my recent trip – to San Francisco, central California coast, Long Island (Montauk) and of course New York, New York. So excited in fact that I have had blog blindness – too excited to blog about any one detail because I want to blurt everything out […]
Holiday Beauty: What’s in my makeup bag
July 17, 2010
So in preparation for my Americana debut (New York I love you already) I have shortlisted my beauty case contents and my in-flight beauty bag. Today I am thinking about makeup. In the makeup to skincare scale I am more of a skincare aficionado. I had severe acne as a teen and I think my […]
Holiday Beauty: what’s in my beauty case
July 10, 2010
As my regular beauties would know, I am going on a holiday soon – to the sunny arcs of California, then to the Hamptons and the ultimate city, NYC. Last week I shortlisted the contents of my in-flight beauty bag. This week I am doing the same, but for my beauty case. I am determined […]
I think I was a (French) mermaid in a past life
March 17, 2010
This is longer than a usual post but consider it a bedtime story. I’ve also save it in my article section. When I was small we had a beach house in a sleepy seaside town. I lived on a remote farm, miles inland and often drought-stricken, so this beach house in its salty blue environs […]
