Well I’ve been in Moscow for over a week now, and as you can see we’ve had some beautiful sunny days – perfect for taking brunch in a pastel cafe on Red Square. I know that Paris gets a lot of hype for being one of the most beautiful cities in the world…but maybe the…

Heaven is a place on earth – I believe, and for me, it is this magnificent purple sea. On this midsummer morning I was really taken aback by the beauty here in Russia. I am so happy to be back! I am here for a good long while this time, and so when I was…

I’m sure some of you are wondering how it is that I can go from wearing faux fur one week and now to a little rayon dress? Well, that’s just the way autumn in beautiful sunny Queensland is; a few chilly days but lots of hot ones too. This week has felt like summer all…

I am still very much a child at heart, and amusement parks are among my favourite places to visit. Luna Park is an Australian icon that funnily enough was inspired by the American Coney Island theme park and as you can see the place has very vintage look, complete with old school side show amusements.

So as you already know, I really love a good rose print! The last dress from Karina Dresses that I blogged, the Mia, also had roses on it so I guess that tells you everything. The Megan dress in English Rose is part of Karina Dresses newly released spring collection and has just the right…

Right before my birthday, Trashy Diva released a new print – the dogwood collection. I gasped as soon as I saw the fabric and had a hard time deciding on what piece to get. I ended up going for this 1940s two piece set as you know I pretty much live in resort wear and the heart…
