Now is a good time to swoop in on some sale selections from Styletread - there is still plenty of scope for ankle boots going into Spring and the right amount of peep-toe cut-out action will even get you through certain summery occasions. Even at sale prices, Styletread ain't no Spendless but it is a good opportunity to pop on some high quality...

No, not for me - what are you trying to say?! Only joking. Even though it is actually my birthday in about six weeks (and if someone were to gift me free veneers I'd be delirious with joy), the face-lift in question is all about the blog. I'd been wanting to revamp for a while and was going to wait until my 2...

It's the end of winter!! Hahaha, jokes, we all know the seasons have moved a month out (sign my petition to have summer officially recognised in the Southern Hemisphere as January to March and so on) and we still have another month of blustery weather to content with. September is always windy as in Adelaide, coinciding nicely with our Royal Show and blowing...

As I mentioned last week, the scent of Spring in the air (or it may be just my neighbour's jasmine that gets up my nose), and it's nice to start the season afresh with something new, so I'm pleased to present some light and lovely items from new affiliate partner, Adrift. Based in sunny Brisbane where their range is designed, Adrift carry that...

Guest contributor Bridie shares her valuable lessons learnt after her experience with shopping with a stylist. There I was - flabby, fractious and frustrated.  Ready to burn down my entire wardrobe and start again. A thought popped into my head . . . why don't I hire a stylist? I've long dreamt of the 'guerilla-style makeover' where a van would pull up beside...

No doubt you've noticed a distinctive springlike feel if you've gone into any clothes shops lately, even if the temperature is nowhere near corresponding just yet. Don't let those random 20 degree days fool you, winter is still very much here - well, in Adelaide at least. If you're one of those keen peeps that like to get the jump on the new...

When I first got the email asking if I was interested in a ViraProX Winter Essentials pack and participating in a corresponding Insta competition, my first reaction was "Um, no, I don't get cold sores." Somewhat selfishly, I was thinking since I don't get them, there would be no relevance in me talking to you about them . . . until I read the information...

As a sociable introvert who can sometimes struggle making small talk when meeting new people and dreads the idea of being in a room full of strangers for the purpose of networking, I fully understand if you say you're too shy to attend blogger meet-ups or events. However I'm here to tell you why you need to get over it and get on...

Can I tell you, I absolutely love it when people who read the blog ask if I can "do something" on one topic or another. This happened recently so this week's Posh Picks is around what to wear for the new office trend of standing desks. More and more corporate environments are getting on board with this concept to improve the ergonomic situation...

Seriously, why do brands discontinue staple beauty products?? Or anything for that matter?? I'm looking at you Cadbury, with your short-lived Wobbly Bar in the early to mid 90s, and don't even get Bridie started on the Milo Bar. Last week, I reached the end of my Maybelline Dream Wonder Fluid Touch foundation so was considering my next move. Taking Mortein's sage advice of "when...

Can you believe it's Olympics time again? The 2012 London Games seem like a world away, possibly because my life has changed in oh so many ways during those four years; pregnancy, resultant parenting, house move, change of role at work and starting a blog. One thing I remember about those games is all the hype around our swim team and how it...
