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. [...]

Last Thursday I got dressed up and headed into the city for an event showcasing GLAM by Manicare products. I’ve never met anyone who hasn’t heard of Manicare or used their products before. I’d tried a few of their lashes and didn’t mind them but was keen to learn a few more tricks to apply [...]

Last Thursday Aidan and I ventured into Sydney for an event. Usually I go to these things alone but I was excited to bring Aidan along for the day. He just loves to go on “adventures” with me on the train into the big city. He slipped his shoes on, grabbed his hat, clipped on [...]

Last Thursday at exactly 5pm I arrived at a very swanky event hosted by BGM Models at the Billich Gallery in The Rocks, Sydney. Gowns, art, champagne, harbour views and beautiful curvy women… how could I resist? When I entered the gallery I was instantly struck by the beautiful light in the room and shape [...]

The black and white fashion combination is truly a girls best friend and there are millions of ways you can incorporate it into your look. After staring at my wardrobe for awhile I decided to go all out in one of my favourite maxi dresses from Crossroads. It has a simple silhouette, a great neckline, stretchy fabric, a [...]

Yesterday I held my very first pre-loved fashion market stall. Did I mention I had only decided to do it three days prior? I know, madness but I did it and whilst it was really hard work it totally paid off. I checked my local council tourism website for a list of local markets, picked [...]

The Clothes Swap in Part Three was full on and fabulous, talk about a bonding experience! That night if felt like I only closed my eyes for a moment before we were up and at ‘em again for a brand new day. Suger jumped into the kitchen as everyone else was still waking up and [...]

In Part Two we hung out at the apartment and had dinner and now I’m going to tell you about The Clothes Swap. I absolutely love this photo I took of all the girls, ready and raring to go! No one was allowed dibs or holdsies and they were released into the main room of [...]

In Part One I told you about our manic drive into the city and catching up with Jeanie and Olivia at Benefit Cosmetics Boutique. Well after we got all done up we headed over to our weekend hideaway, a very posh Meriton World Tower Penthouse Apartment for two nights. We got a gorgeous apartment overlooking [...]

Strapless… wow, now that’s something I haven’t done in awhile. For years I bought dresses and tops that were totally cute but seriously not practical, this is one of them. I bought it from City Chic many moons ago and I keep trying to sell it and then lose my nerve last minute. It’s a [...]

For the past few months I’ve been busy behind the scenes organising a charity fundraising event. Last year I hosted a Curvy Clothes Swap and it was awesome, basically an excuse to get together with my girls and party. The money I raised from that event went towards Girls Night In, a fundraiser anyone can [...]

Sponsored by Nuffnang Australia When I was asked if I would like to review an exercise class, I have to be honest, I hesitated but the opportunity to hit things and wear a cute outfit sealed the deal.

Today I somehow remembered (in between doing the laundry and ordering last minute business cards) that I needed to get my eyebrows and lashes done so I called my lady in a panic. Rachel from Celeste Visage (in South Windsor NSW) is an absolute doll and always fits me in. We have boys the same age [...]

I always knew that for this week’s theme “Blue” I would wear this skirt. I have so many blue items but this one is always my standout piece. It’s super comfy with stretchy fabric and a great length for me going all the way from my waist to my knee. I usually layer it with [...]

Last week’s ‘Stripes‘ theme was fun, it pushed me a little bit out of my comfort zone and I’m not even 100% sure I pulled it off. This week’s theme is ‘Picnic’ which basically means no rules so I was determined to keep my look laid back and simple, everyday Danimezza style. I packed ‘the [...]

I love going backstage, it’s often my favourite thing about a runway show. Everyone is rushing around, I’m trying my best to stay out of the way and catch those moments of clarity in between. It’s the only time you’re really allowed to move, to document and see the candid human energy behind a show. [...]

Before I left for New York I was treated to something very special, a Portrait Couture session with GM Photographics. Now lets get real here, I’m not camera shy and I’ve done my fair share of professional and amateur photo shoots but this was probably one of the most comfortable and relaxing ones I’ve done. [...]

Ahhh… don’t you just love blog conferences! I may be a little addicted and I’ve definitely lost count on how many blogging events I’ve attended and hosted in the last two years. The most recent conference was Nuffnang Blogopolis (#NNB2012) in Sydney which is what the next few posts are all about. When I go [...]

Mummy Beauty Fashion Blogger

12:38PM | July 6, 2012 | 21 comments

I get asked all the time to sum up my blog into one category. Am I a beauty blogger, a fashion blogger or a mummy blogger? To be honest I kind of resent the fact that I have to “fit in” anywhere. I’m confident enough to believe that I’m unique and coined the term “Vanity [...]

The Art of Interviewing Children

A few years ago I bit the bullet and invested in a big, expensive, fancy pants camera and I felt I could finally call myself a photographer. You and I both know that just because you have the gear, it doesn’t automatically mean you’re a professional but there is nothing to stop you from trying [...]
