One Dress - 3 Ways

One Dress - 3 Ways I've been thinking a lot about my wardrobe lately and as I get ready to head off to New York, planning outfits and thinking of the types of things I'd like to buy, I realised that I'm slowly curating my wardrobe. Now don't get me wrong, I know wardrobes are meant to be ever evolving (well the fun ones anyway) but as I've learnt more about different brands, manufacturing processes, quality fabrics, unique prints and flattering silhouettes I've been gradually letting the crap pieces fall into the donation bin. I've been fortunate to have worked myself into a knowledgable position within the industry [more]

Eye Lash Extensions

Eye Lash Extensions Late yesterday afternoon I nervously headed to one of the local beauty salons to get eye lash extensions applied. If I'm honest I always thought it was a bit silly to pay upward of $100 every 2-3 weeks just for long lashes but after having what felt like permanent panda eyes during FFFWeek last year I started to reconsider. As much as I liked the look of false lashes (and I have gotten better at applying them) they're time consuming and tedious when you're in a rush. Peeling them off and getting rid of the gunk was another thing I hated. [more]

Camera Gear Packing

Camera Gear Packing Last year I failed to deliver on news whilst in New York, I felt horrible about it but I tried. I tried to share every little part of my trip but I felt a constant delay. A delay in editing, in finding the right words, in finding sleep. I realised that the way I planned to share was as grand as it was flawed so this year I've made changes. Limited internet was my biggest hurdle so I've bought an unlimited calls and data sim upon recommendations from other Aussies who have traveled to the USA for work. Unfortunately I'm unable [more]

The Ultimate Makeover - Part One

The Ultimate Makeover - Part OneIn the early hours of the morning almost exactly a year ago today, I headed into the city to donate some of my time and skill to a worthy cause. I was to capture the special moments of the Ultimate Makeover for five very special women who will forever be engrained in my memory. Cancer effects so many of us at different stages and ages in our lives, directly or otherwise. Stylist Donny Galella wanted to use his talent, contacts and generous nature to create an experience to make life a little sweeter for those who were suffering. He did a call [more]

Aussie Curves - Green

Aussie Curves - Green Since I recently dared myself to wear a bright green dress and loved myself silly in it, I've been on a mission to add more green to my wardrobe. I'd never worn anything from New Zealand label Lucabella before so when they contacted me out of the blue and asked if I'd be interested in trying some of their range I jumped at the chance! Without even blinking I knew I needed this cardi for "Green Week". The flourish print, the tiny buttons and the beautiful shade of jade green... sigh. I ordered a size L and it fits comfortably, the buttons [more]

Cool Change

Cool Change Brr... winter is definitely coming but I'm loving it. Autumn is my favourite time of year, the sky is filled with honeycomb light, the trees glow, the air is filled with a mix of smoke and dewy grass and best of all I get to wear layers. Toss the heels and trade them in for flats and you've got my go-to daily outfit.  I love comfortable clothing for everyday wear and layering thin, gorgeous fabrics is my favourite way of dressing as the seasons change.

Strike the world with beauty and behold it in your hands for all to see. Owner of your reflection and all that makes up the atoms of your existence. With grace, power and a silent preoccupation with an understanding of how things are. What they could be. How they could be. A woman’s mind is not only [...]

A few weeks ago I headed into the city really really early to work out… I’m serious. I’m not a morning person so I’m still in shock that I actually managed to make the train and stay awake for the entire journey in and then punch out a work out. Did I mention I’d be [...]

I live in a beautiful part of the country called The Hawkesbury, about an hour out of Sydney and as much as I complain about the commute in for events and how much I lust for a little townhouse in city I’m also secretly head over heels with where we live. It’s full of rolling hills, rivers [...]

Licence photos aren’t meant to be flattering but that doesn’t mean you shouldn’t at least try. I renew mine every year mostly because I like that I have the opportunity to take a new photo. As I sat and thought about how I could make “Danimezza’s Drivers Licence of 2013″ super awesome it also dawned [...]

In fact, my preferred career choice of “Photographer” was deemed a hobby by most unless I became an assistant or worked for a [...]

I don’t know about you but I window shop online more than I’d like to admit. I’m the kind of person who’ll gaze for hours, putting things in my cart only to leave them there abandoned. I never seem to suffer buyers remorse as I’ve usually agonised over the purchase for weeks. Sometimes a piece [...]

It can happen in a moment.

I like being a lady who luches, especially on a Monday when I’m usually working. There’s something to be said about escaping from normality, getting dressed up and eating delicious food. It’s good for the soul. It’s even better when you do it with friends. The lovely team at Appliances Online held a gorgeous brunch [...]

I’ve mentioned before that I’m not a coffee drinker but on the odd occasion where I’ve found myself in a cafe for a meeting and surprisingly a raspberry “Spider” isn’t a fitting beverage, I’ve dabbled with lattes and mochas. So when someone lovely from Nespresso (who also happens to be a direct link to George Clooney) invites [...]

One of the things I’ve loved about Aussie Curves is that every single week not only is my wardrobe challenged but I’m challenged on an emotional level too. I’m not saying that each week I’m experiencing an extreme personal growth breakthrough but it’s enabled me to notice patterns in my behaviour and attitude toward my [...]
