How to Take a Pretty Licence Photo

Thumbnail image for How to Take a Pretty Licence Photo

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 [...]

Thumbnail image for Lane Bryant – Fashion Style Off

Full Figured Fashion Week is just around the corner and I can’t even begin to tell you how jam packed the schedule is despite extra days being added this year. Lane Bryant is hosting an event just for bloggers and stylists during the festivities and I was lucky enough to be chosen to attend. One [...]

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 [...]

Nespresso High Coffee

Thumbnail image for Nespresso High Coffee

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 [...]

I was gifted an LG Optimus G Smartphone and given the option to give one away. I was not paid for this post and as usual all thoughts and opinions are my own. Most of the time when I get invited to attend events I have an idea of how it will play out but [...]

Sponsored by Tarazz Earlier this year I placed my very first Tarazz order of Sephora products. After being introduced to the cosmetic powerhouse in New York last year I couldn’t wait to get my hands on more goodies, especially at very reasonable prices compared to Australia’s overpriced counters. Fragrances, skincare, make up… it’s all there. [...]

I published the 9th issue of my beloved little miniMAG tonight and as the weeks go by more and more people are signing up so I wanted to take a moment to let you to know it’s making my heart sing, thank you! I’m still playing with it, seeing which days suit, what content you [...]

It’s been so nice outside lately and I haven’t been taking advantage of it as I’ve felt so miserable. I’m changing my habits and trying to shake off the clouds. So today Steve hung out the laundry, Aidan ran about with Charlie and I whipped on my activewear and decided to try something new. My [...]

In less than 12 weeks I’ll be here again. It feels like I’ve been holding my breath for months. It’s so close I can taste the canapés, touch the clothes and hug my overseas friends … electric. I wont be alone, I have Ash. I’ll also have a great big city to explore and one of these [...]

3 Annies Silver Leather Audrey Lu Camera Bag Review

Thumbnail image for 3 Annies Silver Leather Audrey Lu Camera Bag Review

Towards the end of last year Australian Owned camera bag designers 3 Annies released a limited edition of 20 Silver “Audrey Lu” Leather Camera Bags and thanks to some timely Christmas money I contacted them in January and asked if they had any left. They had just two left but they wanted to give one [...]

Thumbnail image for Sephora Ships to Australia via Tarazz

Towards the end of last year one of my friends who works for Tarazz.com.au told me a little secret… that they would become the platform for shipping Sephora products to Australia! For people in the know, for people who have stepped inside Sephora’s glossy doors of awesomeness this was HUGE news. Do you have any [...]

Plus Size Sports Bra Review

Thumbnail image for Plus Size Sports Bra Review

Bra shopping is not my favourite past time. There, I said it. Like most busty women I feel like I have imposible breasts that are out to ruin my life (not to mention my bank balance) but every 6 months I find myself on the usual merry-go-round of trying things on and forking over lots [...]

This post is sponsored by Target Australia. There is something splendid about summer and even though I’m strapped for cash (the new couch was finally delivered!) I didn’t want that to stop me from living fabulously. Usually I’d be quite content hiding away inside with the air conditioner but with Stephanie here I seem to [...]

Driving Holiday

Driving in the holidays can seem daunting but since we don’t own a private jet or a helicopter we’re kind of used to it. Preparation on my part is pretty easy, pack the bags, arrange for the neighbours to take care of our bins for us and clean the house so we have something pleasant to come [...]

Sponsored by Nuffnang Australia. Quite often an opportunity for Aidan to review a fancy new toy arrives in my inbox and I hover over the reply button, trying to decide whether or not I should. Will it help Aidan learn anything through play? Will it suck up too many batteries? Does he really need it? [...]

Sponsored by Nuffnang & Baskin-Robbins My sister Stephanie is going to be staying with us for a few months until Uni starts back up again in the new year. It’s nice having her around and not just for a week, we’ll really get to hang out and just be, together. Let it be said though, [...]

I’m just a little overwhelmed, I still can’t believe it. There it is, the very first SWIM Lookbook and my first attempt at digital publishing… please be kind. I’ll come back later in the week once I’ve recovered and tell you more about the whole experience. For now just click, view, enjoy and then come [...]

Sponsored by Appletiser I’ll admit it, I love when parcels get delivered to my door and who wouldn’t when they look like this! The lovely people at Appletiser sent me a lovely sparkly care package filled with loose green glitter (yeah, still cleaning that up, thanks!) some yummy cupcakes from the Sparkle Cupcakery, sparklers and [...]

You know I wouldn’t write about an iron if it wasn’t fabulous right? Well here I am writing a post about one and yes, I’m even giving you the chance to win one! When Sunbeam offered to send me the Pro Glide Plus 8700 (valued at $399) to review I couldn’t resist. I hate ironing to [...]

Sponsored by Nuffnang Australia The last few months have been manic. In order for me to balance out my work flow, the housework, playtime and downtime a few things have had to slide… fancy elaborate meals at dinner time were one of them. I don’t feel guilty though as I made sure they were still [...]

Today is Canteen’s National Bandana Day, the annual fundraising initiative which helps to support Australian youths with cancer. Canteen and Girls Night In are two my chosen charities so I’m always thrilled when they reach out and ask me to collaborate in raising awareness of their fundraising efforts. Even Steve and Aidan got in on the fun! [...]

Sponsored by Nuffnang Aidan likes presents just as much as the next kid. You can probably tell from the gigantic grin on his face that he loves big presents more. In our house we have very limited battery operated toys. Working from home I just can’t bear the inane noises and flashing lights from toys [...]
