Two for Two

Two lovely rooms to end two days of a hot, steamy weekend. Loving the bright, airiness of them. Fab!

A Blue Hue

Its been a really long, hot Summer here in Perth this year and I'm very much over it!

I love blues used throughout the home. While blues are predominantly a cool colour, used in the right way they don't make a space feel cold, but warm and inviting.

While I would love a cold space right now I always need a cosy room no matter the temperature.

Living Like JLo

No longer Jenny From The Block. Jennifer Lopez has serious elegance. Inside of her Californian home neutrals are mixed with soft blues which have created a gorgeous mix of sophistication and glamour without being over the top. I love the use of blues with neutrals, I have used this in my bedroom.

I love the metallic back splash in the kitchen with the gleaming white of the bench tops.

Wouldn't it be nice to live in a fabulous big house like this!?

Valentines Lust List

Here is my list for an extra special present. I'm loving red right now so its kind of a theme with my wish list. Of course I'd love to receive a simple handwritten letter. A girl can always dream!

These FAB red shoes!

Yummy heart shaped raspberry Macaroons

I'm in love with this Michael Kors Watch

A red Hermes Birkin bag. I'd happily have one in any colour. This would be passed down to my daughter.

A gold leather pouffe where I could sit back and put my feet up on with a glass of champagne

A bunch of red roses.... simple and stunning.

My lucky sister received a stunning box containing 12 long steam red roses.

A Big Love

Big & Carrie.

Carrie & Big.

Love comes in many different ways. This Valentines Day I am single. I have been single now for a few years. I've dated, and while there are some stories I am willing to share Ill leave those for another day.

Today is the day of Love. The day where everyone in the office but you receives flowers from their beloved husband or partner.

Today is the day that many Singles stoop into a low gloom. Unable to go to a restaurant alone for dinner or lunch. Looked at with sorrow when you order for one.

Carrie & Big went through many ups and downs through the many seasons of Sex and the City. In the end, there is only one. The One.

It may take longer than you would like. You may have to go on many horrible dates with men who don't trim their nose hairs before you find your Prince Charming,

Shrimp plant

I'm at Bunnings and I found the most unusual plant! Its really strange!

Dinner

Tonights dinner was a delicious bowl of yum! Honey soy beef strips with fresh beans and rice.

I marinated beef stir fry strips with honey, soy sauce, sesame oil and the juice of a lemon. I left that for a couple of hours while I finished cleaning out the pantry and did the vacuuming.

I quickly sealed the beef in a smoking wok then added the beans. It was super easy and loved by the family. I sprinkled some sesame seeds on top before serving.

Sorry about the bad picture! Had to get the vultures fed!

Black & White

I love black & white stripes on a chair. They are so elegant. I don't think any more words are needed!
