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
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.

Why hello autumn, we thought you weren’t going to make an appearance this year. You’ve arrived just in time for winter! I’m a Queensland girl, so I love summer and have to resist going into ‘bear-in-a-cave’ hibernation mode during South Australia’s colder months. When I moved to SA (for love, naww) five years ago I arrived… Continue reading What I wore: a chill in the air
I had a cheeky trip to Adelaide last weekend and managed to pack a lot into 24 hours. I even fit in a quick visit to Brazil. What?! Well, to Rio specifically.
