Wipe on, Wipe off

01:00AM | May 31, 2011 | 8 comments

This post is sponsored by Nuffnang and VIVA {image} I’m finding it difficult to keep on top of things at home at the moment, (including my husband) I have so many balls in the air, I just can’t seem to juggle them properly as far as everyone else is concerned. I might be a touch [...]

100 years of Nivea

05:28PM | May 28, 2011 | 7 comments

Yesterday afternoon whilst I was curled up on the couch wildly editing the final touches to my Kidspot Top 50 Bloggers competition video entry I got a tweet from one of my favourite PR firms, a last minute invitation to Nivea’s 100th Birthday Party at Bennelong Point opposite the Opera House… how could I say [...]

Help me win $5000 and a New Ford Territory for a year!

Back in March Steve and I took Aidan on a caravaning trip. We planned a brilliant route, packed everything we needed and headed off to visit friends and family. I was even presumptuous enough to assume that our trip would be so magical with a toddler that I arranged a five day guest post slot over at [...]

Mexican Feista

One of my favourite places to go for dinner in Townsville is “Cactus Jacks” an amazing mexican restaurant with atmosphere, great food and lethal amounts of my favourite beverage… tequila. I just had one drink whilst sharing a meal with a few good friends. It was really lovely to get together, get dressed up and dig in. [...]

Traveling to Townsville

10:01AM | May 25, 2011 | 4 comments

Last year I got some awesomely priced flights to Townsville and planned a mini holiday for just Aidan and I. He was only 1 at the time and I smugly thought to myself that he’d been the perfect little traveller so he’d continue to be one a year later… right? Well for the most part [...]

Famous Magazine + Sensodyne Event

I was invited to attend a very hot event for FAMOUS Magazine and Sensodyne at The Victoria Room in Darlinghurst on Wednesday night and I’m so glad I was able to go. This photo was snapped by the event photographer so I have a full outfit photo to show you. I’m wearing a gorgeous peacock [...]

Gok Wan: WINNER

10:46AM | May 18, 2011 | 14 comments

About a month ago I was lucky enough to snuggle up on the couch with Gok Wan. Ok, so maybe we didn’t snuggle (after all I’m not really his type) but we did turn a 15 minute interview into almost an hour long chat-fest… and we were sitting on the couch together. Gok was kind [...]

Danimezza Loves

I’ve found that you guys miss out on a lot of little pieces of my life, things that make me happy but don’t quite make it onto the blog. They used to but in recent months they just haven’t made the cut. I read every single comment left on twitter, facebook, the blog and countless [...]

Fashion Weekend, Danimezza Style

05:48PM | May 14, 2011 | 12 comments

It started with a tweet. A PR company tweeted that they had a few tickets to giveaway to bloggers if they were interested so I emailed them and said “Yes Please!”. I didn’t know what my chances would be like but seconds later I got an email saying they’d pop two tickets in the post [...]

This is NOT a sponsored post… but it should be… A few weeks ago I was innocently reading the Sunday paper and saw that Jamie Coombes, Leading Make up artist for Dior and professional to the stars (Kate Moss!) was in Australia and would be doing a very limited number of appointments for a one [...]

Nikon School with Christian Blanchard

06:00AM | May 6, 2011 | 5 comments

I was a bit nervous about going to the workshop. I was afraid I’d forget how to change the settings on my camera. I was afraid that I’d be to shy to direct the model. I was afraid in general really. I always get like that before I do something different and outside my comfort [...]

I’m more than a mum…

04:08PM | May 4, 2011 | 45 comments

Lately my feelings have been getting hurt by a number of comments and emails I’ve been receiving. I know it’s part and parcel with sharing most of my life online, I have to develop a thicker skin but I am still quite sensitive to it all despite my best efforts. My blog is my space [...]

Aidan Loves Pigs

Aidan loves all the TV shows (Peppa Pig is awesome, just saying) , books and songs about pigs. He used to be crazy about ducks but now he has pig fever. This does not exclude is love for his very special pig, his piggy bank. Piggy is filled with “More” as Aidan calls it, a loose translation [...]

Six Take – Polka Dots/LBD

02:05AM | May 3, 2011 | 10 comments

This week’s theme is polka dots and I’m ashamed to say that the only polka dots I own are on a pair of undies not fit for internet viewing. So to make up for my total lack of dotty-goodness I thought I’d show off my awesome Statement Shoulder Dress. It’s shorter than I would normally go but [...]
