You'd be keeping every appointment if you had one of these pretties. I really really want one of the patent leather ones. Just can't decide on colour and size. But I'm not sure if I am too late, they are currently out of stock. Hopefully it is just 'currently' and not 'permanently' - because as I said, I really really really need one.See more fabulous leather diaries at Papier D'Amour (they also carry Kate Spade, Martha Stewart and beautiful babar products. I did warn you.....)
I couldn't believe it when I went to my blog today - I haven't posted since last Wednesday - what the?! - I have NO idea where time is going at the moment but wherever it is, I need to visit to get some more!Til next time - enjoy these images of Jonathan Adler's home (I'm sure you have seen them before, but one can never have too much of a good thing) xx

Bella Foster's work is stunning, her blog so much fun, and the diary she has illustrated for 2010 for Kate Spade? delicious. There are also cool x-ray bags and cosmetic cases illustrated by Bella for Kate Spade. What a fabulous collaboration.
Dear SantaBased on the law of averages, I think I have been pretty good this year. But I tell you, if this is at the end of my bed come Christmas morning (actually, can we make it at the side of my bed?, then I wouldn't have to move it myself...) I promise to be a very good girl all year.....
Happy Birthday Ruby Claire. Thanks for being such a hilarious little god daughter (to quote Ruby herself... "Ruby Funny"....) - but stop growing up so quick! Love you lots x
summer..... high 30oC??? Where is the fake tan - yikes! Happy weekend ximage by Mike Newling
A huge thank you to Liz Walsh and SA Life for including me in their article - "Bright Young Things", an absolute honour and lots of fun.
Talk about making my Monday! - I stumbled across Kelly's blog, Little French Nest just before I started work this morning (I always have a quick squiz, a little prettiness before a day of numbers, tax and client calls keeps me sane I tell you). She is currently studying interior design and works at Black and Spiro, lucky girl. And if her blog is anything to go by, and her work space at home (pictured above), something tells me her future as an interior design is going to be absolutely stunning. Thank you for your beautiful blog Kelly.
A sister to have brunch with
A goddaughter to spend time with
A kitchen to cook cupcakes in
A market stall to plan
A bbq with friends to attend.
With a weekend like this planned - I think its time to stop thinking about what I don't have and treasure what I do have. x
Kate, you are going to love this! Amy Atlas has just updated her website with heaps of new images of her work. Enjoy more here. Want to recreate some of her magic? - Brown Button Trading offers a range of glass jar canisters to create a perfect candy buffet at your next special event.
Marie Nichols has relocated to Australia from the UK - lucky us! Above are some of my favourites from her site, but there are plenty more so go and visit and enjoy! x
Thank you to everyone who participated, it was lots of fun.
oh and an update on the ball - LUCKY I didn't wear a pretty yellow and white striped dress. A clumsy waiter bumped my whole glass of red wine all over me. Cheers. Lucky for me I had a dark coloured dress on.
Off to a ball tonight - wish I had a pretty yellow and white striped dress to wear. Should be lots of fun - friends, food, wine, dancing and all for a very good cause. Tomorrow? - baby shower. Oh and announcing the winner of my giveaway. Sunday? nothing - bliss. You? x 
Seriously - how did she do it? All these years later we are still trying to recreate the style. In awe. Forever.
I love a good wedding, don't get me wrong - but is it just me, or are Australian brides afraid of colour when it comes to styling a wedding? I couldn't think of a better chance to go crazy with colour than at your wedding. But hey, maybe that is why I'm yet to marry. Colourful weddings is one thing the Americans do so well. Maybe I wouldn't do the boots, but they look right at home and natural here. The colour? Yay!images via Elizabeth Anne Designs, originally from The Nichols Blog

....goes another week!?!??! Far out brussel sprout.
To do this weekend:
From the pages of UK's Living Etc Magazine comes these gorgeous images of a home just outside of Melbourne Australia on the Mornington Peninsula......wouldn't mind dropping in for the weekend. The weekend paper and coffee in the kitchen, getting up just to move to a chair in the living room to read a book and put the ipod on, and maybe, if I am feeling really energetic in the afternoon I'd head to the backyard for vino and cheese. Yes, sounds horrible doesn't it?!See more image of the home here.
My latest crush? - Milk glass. Can you see why? Do you agree? All the above are currently available on ebay and not overly expensive. Do a search for 'milk glass' within the pottery/glass category. PRETTY! x
