You know you’re a mum of two young children when it takes 70 years of planning, an outfit change 3.5 seconds before you run out the door, help from the in-laws at ‘handover’, 470 lists, routine info, food prepped for the hubby, and a DIY tan job to go out for the second time in four months – HA! UGH. Over the weekend we celebrated my baby sister’s hens night! Eeeeep! The countdown to the wedding is on! Yes, she is a fully grown adult, but she will always be MY baby sister! A BIG thank you to my fellow bridesmaids for all your hard work and planning, I think we successfully made her squirm with ..read more

MEGAN HESS – ‘ICONIC’, THE MASTERS OF ITALIAN FASHION > So, what did you get up to last week? Oh you know, just hung out with bestselling author, illustrator extraordinaire, homewares designer, devoted mother and wife, and one of the nicest people I’ve ever met – you?! HA!! Yep, #SOZNOTSOZ to rub it in. Last week we had some much needed MUMMY-MIA time, attending an intimate book signing and VIP shopping night with Megan Hess, at CO.CO in Port Melbourne. This was the second time MG has met Megan, sorry ‘Princess Megan’ as she’s now known in our house, and OH, WHAT A NIGHT! A big thank-you to ..read more

STYLING THE BUMP: MATERNITY & NON-MATERNITY FASHION > This is my third pregnancy, so I’d like to think of myself as a seasoned professional in the styling the bump department! All three times I have worn a combination of maternity and non-maternity clothes, and for all three trimesters. You do not need to spend a fortune and there are more and more brands with fast fashion designs available. Below I’ve shared my favourite choices for both, as well as some active wear and underwear suggestions. Enjoy!  TOP MATERNITY BRANDS: BAE THE LABEL – Aussie owned and made my mums. Bae is effor ..read more

WOMEN WHO INSPIRE: C A S S  D E L L E R  > We’ve all discussed our ‘top five’ at some point – right?! Mine goes something like this > Dwayne Johnson, Sam Pang, Josh Brolin, Chris Pratt, Benjamin Bratt… Sorry, that’s a dangerous and long-winded tangent I could go off on, ha! My REAL point is: CASS DELLER is totally and utterly in my top five! I met the beautiful Cass at the One&Only Hayman Island, where we were both holidaying for the first time with our firstborn babies in 2015. We’ve stayed in touch since then and have caught-up every time we’ve visited Noosa, where Cass l ..read more

BRIDAL LINGERIE – ENCHANTE, BY NANCY GANZ > Sexy. Modern. Confident. My love affair with Nancy Ganz continues. As an (almost!) 32 year old woman, I’m not afraid to admit I value functionality, equally with the prettier things in life. It is what it is. I am SO excited to share with you Nancy Ganz’s new bridal collection – Enchante. While I’ve missed the boat to wear this range myself on my wedding day (almost seven years too late), that’s not going to stop me prancing around in it like it’s 2011! This collection speaks for itself, but let me tell you > IT. IS. NEXT. LEVEL.  The line ..read more

 A GORGEOUS GIFT, FOR A GORGEOUS GIRL { FLORRIE, ARMADALE } > OH-MG, her face really does say it all – WOW! We spent Sunday morning as a family at Florrie in Armadale, and sweet baby cheeses was it amazing! Sipping on babyccinos with fairy sprinkles, singing “pink cheese” in the photo booth as we posed, playing dress-ups with all the dolls, and experiencing the ULTIMATE in mother-daughter moments. Oh, and there was pink (and coffee!), EVERYWHERE. MG named her doll ‘Baby Charlotte’, which of course melts and breaks my heart at the same time. I of course was snap-happy and have shared ou ..read more

SISJ FASHION : MY SPRING RACING 2017 > Phhhowar, better late than never right?! Forgive me, for I have socially sinned – it’s taken me several weeks to even get this post-up! I wish my excuse was that I was still recovering, it is in fact because I’ve been consumed with our second round of IVF. I can only assume most of Melbourne are probably well and truly over spring racing by now and onto Easter for 2018, but here goes. Below I’ve shared all the deets on exactly what I wore (and paid for). I’ve also asked my two favourite milliner’s for their tips on each race day’s fashion/styling, mill ..read more

KIDS : FANCY & FABULOUS FASHION FOR LITTLE PEOPLE > As the Queen of Style herself would say: “I DIE”. If only I could have a Rachel Zoe voiceover playing as you scroll through this incredibly dangerous (but glorious!) blog post about luxury farrrrshun for our little people. I just want to clarify, MG’s wardrobe (much like her mamma’s) consists of a few ridiculously fabulous and expensive pieces (the best example of that being a KENZO ski suit I bought her when she was three months old – my husband nearly divorced me!), but the rest is 100% Tar-jay, Bonds and K-mart. It’s all about style ..read more

SISJ FASHION – SEXY SHAPEWEAR & LUXE LINGERIE > *Disclaimer: today’s sexy shapewear and luxe lingerie edit contains some naughty words and a few cheeky giggles. So please, don’t get your panties in a twist!  Breasts, boobies, jugs, juganoughts, hooters, mamma-jugs, fun bags, melons, cans, knockers, tits, titties, chesticles, gazongas, jubblies, golden globes, snuggle pups, the dream team, good God I sound like Lloyd and Harry from Dumb & Dumber having a word off with myself! HA! Ughhh, I am a self-proclaimed ‘boob-man’ in another life and I am on a mission to lift these bad boy ..read more

SISJ FASHION: AHHH-MAZING EARRINGS > I feel when it comes to jewellery I am letting the team down : ‘the team’ being chicks worldwide. Of course I love a diamond or ten, but when it comes to necklaces and accessorising other body parts, I prefer to be naked. I’ll also tell you something for nothing > I cannot wear jewellery on my right wrist, ha. It actually makes me want to dry-retch. Weird hey? Anyway. In the last year or so I’ve developed a new-found obsession with earring. Not just any earrings though, BIG, MASSIVE, HUGE, COLOURFUL, BLINGY AND OVVVVER THE TOP earrings. Below are ..read more
