etsy style inspiration: peach bellini
Morning! A selection of treasures from Etsy, inspired by the retro indulgence that is a peach bellini (part sparkling wine, part peach syrup).

Chic ballet flats on timeworn footpaths threading through rolling beachside streets; jewelled sandals and straw hats al fresco […]
Hello, 2012!
January 3, 2012
Happy New Year beauties! I am taking a little holiday from this blog for the next couple of weeks as I finish off some other projects, including but not limited to preparing for the arrival of my tiny, tiny person. This just means I will not be posting every Sunday but instead more sporadically – […]
Back in five
November 17, 2011
Beauties, I’m off to Melbourne for a 10 day sojourn. Back soon! xx PS No, I won’t be looking like this on my hometown holiday (drat!). But I have been inspired to seek out some crisp white pants for summer, post-baby bump of course. *Image by The Sartorialist.

(on sale) summer ankle/rolled pants
October 24, 2011

An ode to the dress
July 21, 2011
This lovely article in The New York Times by Ruth La Ferla, is about the enduring allure of a summer dress. I remember a time, in my teens and early twenties, when dresses were not that popular, at least among my social circles. I was an adolescent in the grunge era of the 1990s, or to be […]
My Brigid McLaughlin dress
February 21, 2011
I own this dress by Sydney designer Brigid McLaughlin and I just wanted to share my love for it. It actually looks quite different on me … I feel a little like a sweet petite doll whenever I wear it as it is all white and full and floaty and cottony (though I discovered the […]

So you know what I packed for my summer USA holiday - light tops, dresses and shorts for balmy New York City and Long Island, plus a few cooler climate items for the beautiful but surprisingly chilly in August San Francisco and central California coast.

My Summer Holiday Lookbook Part 2: holiday style recommendations
September 19, 2010
Unless you have the memory of a goldfish you will remember that less than a week ago I wrote about my holiday packing tips by way of sharing what I packed for the USA and the rules I set for myself (rules are necessary for someone who tends to over pack by getting over-excited and […]
