I worked on the set of the INXS: Never Tear Us Apart movie on Friday and the actor playing Michael Hutchence, while not an exact replica of the music legend, brings a certain je ne sais quoi. In fact, Luke Arnold (from television show Winners & Losers) immersed himself in the role so effectively, I had…
I can’t believe this is my 300th post and I owe it all to you guys, my loyal supporters, for encouraging and inspiring me to keep going. And the timing couldn’t be better – just in time for my birthday week celebrations! Why not keep the partying going for a week? It started on Thursday…
What do you do when you’re standing on the edge of a cliff, watching your world crumble around you? When your income has shrunk so dramatically you can no longer afford swimming lessons but you have a pool in your backyard which your youngest son could easily drown in? What do you do when you…
I was planning to wait for spring to wear these leather shorts . . . but I couldn’t help myself! I decided to follow in Miranda Kerr’s glamorous footsteps and winterise them for Mum’s birthday celebration lunch today.

Kicking up my heels today (pun intended) while the boys are at the movies with my mother-in-law! It’s been movie overload week so it’s definitely time for a screen detox. She’ll take them to McDonald’s for lunch then back to her house for a play, so that gives me a few hours up my sleeve!…
It’s very tempting in this cold windy weather to just throw on a tracksuit, and that’s perfect if you’re lazing around the house for the day. But if you’re heading out and about it doesn’t take much effort to sass it up a bit and still be warm and comfortable. I guarantee you’ll feel better…
Not even halfway through the school holidays and boy have I got a thumping headache! Took my little guy to see Despicable Me at the movies today and that tipped me over the edge – it was too hot, too loud and after nearly two hours of animated characters on the big screen, my eyeballs…
Did I stop traffic in this outfit? No not quite, but inquisitive motorists did have a good hard look at what hubby and I were up to in our Sunday best. Actually let me clarify that – hubby was in his trusty, well worn-in Levi’s, complete with two-day growth, so he was in fact far…
A pair of silver leggings should come with a warning – beware of the attention these may attract! If I had a dollar for every look, stare and comment I received today in these metallic numbers I would be ready for a major shopping spree. It’s one of the great joys of embracing fashion that…
