Ladies, let’s talk about public exposure. Now, I’m not afraid of a bit of public nudity. I’ve stripped off in a hammam (public bathhouse) in Morocco and I would have gone to an onsen (hot springs, where you traditionally bathe naked) if I hadn’t been pregnant when we were in Japan. And, as predicted, after… Continue reading Mumma bear style: beyond the bump
It’s been a fertile start to 2017. Several friends are due soon, and half a dozen have recently announced they are expecting for the first time or again this year. When one first-time mumma-to-be asked me where I suggested shopping for maternity clothes, I thought it would be a good topic for a style blog as it’s a… Continue reading Mumma bear style: the bump
It is 10 weeks today since the lovely midwives at Burnside Memorial Hospital in Adelaide released us into the wild with our very own baby. Mr M and I still can’t believe Oscar is ours to keep! ‘Baby M’ is not so little anymore – he has gone from a tiny, squishy, wrinkly bundle to a… Continue reading 10 things Oscar has taught me
‘Mrs M Loves’ has been a bit quiet lately, because of this little person: That’s right – Mr M and I welcomed our first child, Oscar Kenton Moore, into the world last month. The numbers: 5.51pm, 21 November / 3.9kg (8 pound 10) / 52cm long. The emotions: intense love, awe and gratitude for this little… Continue reading Welcome, Baby M
So, did anyone else misplace October? Between the wild storms/floods/three days of power outages at the start of last month, plenty to do on the work-front before I started maternity leave and an interstate wedding, October certainly flew for me. One moment it was September, then it was suddenly November. Which means I’m having a… Continue reading A special room
Necklaces can be tricky to store. I don’t know about you, but I seem to have a naughty elf in my wardrobe who likes to tie knots in fine chains and tangle long necklaces. So, for the third part in my spring cleaning series (if you missed the first two, read how I use hangers… Continue reading Spring cleaning week 3: necklaces
Last week I kicked off my wardrobe spring cleaning inspiration series – if you missed the first post, click here to see the must-have clothes hangers which will free up so much space in your closet. This week, my tip is to think outside (or inside) the box. Idea 1: If you want an easy, colourful way… Continue reading Spring cleaning week 2: boxes
Why hello spring! Last week, my part of the world turned on a beautiful day for the first of September. Inspired by the gorgeous weather (and maybe influenced by nesting: #29weekspregnant) I’m tackling my wardrobe this month. Now, I’m a bit of a storage junkie. I mean, Ikea’s home organisation section is my happy place. I never… Continue reading Spring cleaning week 1: hangers
Oh Hamilton Island, just pour me a cocktail (make mine a mocktail) and let me bask in your sunshine a little longer. I may have mentioned once or twice how I tend to hibernate during South Australia’s winter. Don’t get me wrong, I’m not a weather-ist! I love a crackling fire, cosy jumper and glass… Continue reading Island dreaming
I have a confession: I’m a premature packer. The moment I see a holiday on the horizon, I start mentally preparing. A week or two out, I draft off clothes for the trip, start planning combinations, and cull/add items as needed. I’m usually completely packed a few days in advance (and then, of course, have… Continue reading Fast five: travel beauty
