Fashion Look Of The Week







Navy and white with a splash of red is such a classic, all time combination ... always stylish .... always chic! Perfect for coastal living and seaside holidays - it's all time favourite for both fashion and interior colour schemes. It always looks fresh and never goes out of fashion. Mix in some stripes for fun and you'll have the look perfected!

Greek Flavours

Posted by om 0 comments

The mercury hit a perfect 28 degrees today so my husband and I took a drive down to Lorne, a stylish coastal town with a very good Greek restaurant that sits overlooking the pier. It is painted in typical Greek style with lots of white wash and bright blue trim. It is all a bit rusty and run down but that just adds to the character. We had lunch at an outdoor table under a sun umbrella watching the fishing boats bob up and down. 






Greek recipes from Donna Hay magazine


We ordered this amazing seafood platter which was absolutely overflowing with King prawns, oysters, lobster, scampi, mussels and scallops. Everything is freshly caught and it all tasted even better when washed down with a glass of chilled, white wine. After a glass or two, I could have sworn I was on a Greek Island!

Summer Days

Posted by om 0 comments






Summer is all about the beach to me - long walks along the sand collecting shells, worn pebbles and driftwood along the way. White weather board cottages and simple beach shacks. Simple summer cotton dresses that blow in the breeze, floppy straw hats and worn beach baskets. A canvas hammock strung up on the porch promises endless hours of being lost in a good book, kids with ice-creams and the ringing of laughter in the air all remind me of lazy summer days.
