After years of seeing many beautiful ladies compete in pin up parents and competitions, I decided on entering the Rock Ballarat Pinup Competition in 2020. But I soon learnt it's not as simple as just entering the competition... I obviously had to figure out what to wear, how I would do my hair and makeup, … Continue reading Hell Bunny On Vacation Skirt
I usually will make an excuse to buy new clothes. But being pregnant is a whole new ball game: literally none of my clothes fit me like they used to. Many of my clothes stopped fitting around 3 months pregnant when my bust grew. Some clothes I could still fit into, but I pretty just … Continue reading Delft Blue Ponte Dress: A Perfect Non-Maternity Dress for Pregnancy
It’s been a long time since I’ve posted anything on this blog, let alone an outfit post. I blame COVID for making me feel blah. I also have been in lockdown in Melbourne. With the restriction of not going further than 5km from home, and only being allowed to leave for four specific reasons, there … Continue reading A Sunday Daqiuri Dress
I’ve been a little quiet on social media and haven’t done a bog post since Christmas time. But a lot has been happening in between my full time job, moving house and of course practising social distancing as well. Something that happened early February was I entered my first ever pin-up competition. I originally thought … Continue reading Rock Ballarat Pin-up Competition
So Coronavirus continues to change the way we live our lives. One way it majorly affected me is that I’m working from home. There’s obviously a bit of an adjustment working from home: less social interaction, less exercise as I’m not walking to the train station, temptation to wear pyjamas all day, easier to eat … Continue reading April 30 by 30 Wardrobe Remix Challenge: Working from Home Edition
I love springtime: the cherry blossoms bloom, the weather warms up and the days start to get longer. It makes me feel like I am coming out of hibernation and that I'm ready for fun. I get excited to go out and often start planning more things to do. One of those things is brunch. … Continue reading Springtime Roses and Denim
Since I have moved to Melbourne, I've really noticed that I don't have my photographer (aka my sister) around to help me with photos for my blog. I am slowly training my boyfriend in the art of blog photography, but he has only just learnt that you need to take more than three photos... The … Continue reading Vintage Denim for a Modern Girl
Winter is well and truly here in Melbourne. But unlike Canberra winters, there's no walking to the bu stop in the minus degrees Celsius temperatures, and there doesn't appear to be a sea of black wearing public servants everywhere. Seeing all the fabulous fashion worn by Melbournians always gets me inspired to put my best … Continue reading 30 by 30 Wardrobe Remix August/September 2019
Are there some recipes that are your go-to when you have family or friends over for dinner? The last few times I’ve had visitors, and I didn’t know what to cook, I chose a classic and family favourite: roast chicken. My roast chicken has a bit of a fresh twist with a lemon and thyme … Continue reading Lemon and Thyme Roast Chicken with Gravy
For a while I've been trying to live a more minimal life by cutting down on unnecessary items. Part of that process has been trying to make my wardrobe a capsule wardrobe. But completely limiting my wardrobe is not an easy project. That's why I wanted to do a 30 x 30 Wardrobe Remix Challenge. … Continue reading 30 x 30 Wardrobe Remix Challenge May 2019
