Fabulous Fridays: 27 July 2012

Here what's been amusing my bouche this week...

• Bigger = better when it comes to accessories, at least in my book. Giant purple bow, anyone?
• Capsicum as an egg ring. Genius!
• Pinteresting... who said neon and pastels don't play well together?
• I genuinely love a lot of bad movies and it seems I have kindred spirits in the zine community.
• When Lady Gaga and a ballet troupe collide...
• Is there ever an occasion where pink Minnie Mouse ears aren't appropriate? Doubtful.
• I've been searching for a recipe to test out the marinated feta I made (yep, made!) and I think this is the one.
• Everyone needs a pink flamingo (and some Mexican kitsch) in their life.
• Since my foray into making icecream cakes was successful last weekend (peppermint choc -- yum!), I'm ready to graduate to actual cooking... pretzels.
• In time for the Olympics, Company magazine's Insider's Guide to London.
• Eighties Barbie chandelier earrings. What more do I need to say?
• A trippy sound experience... Little Dragon.

Enjoy your weekend. I'll be choreographing a dance comp routine and catching some Z's. : )

Fabulous Fridays: 20 July 2012

After coming down with a cold this week, I've been searching for the best pick-me-ups I can find...

• I had croquettes at a posh restaurant on Saturday. I'll be trying to make them at home. Yum!
• And I was trying to hide a wardrobe malfunction like this one while at this posh establishment. Keepin' it classy -- NOT.
• How pretty is this Pinterest board of vintage labels and magazine covers? Answer: very. : )
• I'm considering expanding my "cooking" skills to icecream cakes like this tempting mint chocolate number. I reckon I'm onto something.
• Now this product could spice up our boring bathroom renovation, but is it weird good or just weird weird? I'm thinking the latter.
• This sequin pillow on Etsy could be bloody uncomfortable, but it looks fantastic. To hell with comfort!
• I came for the tasty-sounding name, I stayed for the cute illustrations: milk and cookies blog.
• Being judgemental? Guilty as charged. I found a post to help me stop fearing it and doing it to others.
• Soda can art. Not keen on wearing that aluminium underwear. Ouch.
• Have you checked out the Pinterest blog yet? I can't stop reading the "Pinterviews" of how others are getting their pin on.
• If this song doesn't bring a smile to your face, there's no hope for ya. Does anyone know the Johnny Depp movie spliced into the video clip?

There, that stopped me sneezing for a moment! Have a happy, healthy weekend. : )

Fabulous Fridays: 13 July 2012

It's our favourite time of the week again, when we can dress up in our most ladylike finery and hit the fruit shop. Or revel in some Fabulous Friday goodness...

• Looking for a new sport, but tired of run-of-the-mill choices like tennis and basketball? Try worm charming or chess boxing on for size.
• Alexander McQueen paper dolls = every friend's birthday present this year sorted. Win!
• My latest cooking obsession: sweet potato skins.
• Why Australian shoppers pay more. Could it be a case of companies getting away with sneaky price rises?
• Let's hope if I ever get a publishing deal, my book cover turns out slightly better than these.
• Feeling Black Eyed Peas right now.
• A true frill-seeker: loving this peplum Pinterest board.
• How do you go broke selling chocolate? Aussie brand Darrell Lea has somehow managed it. I reckon I could single-handedly rescue them with my chocolate habit!
• I have the perfect outfit to wear with this bowtie necklace. Love. : )
• Perfect for writers typing on a laptop on a chilly night: Alannah Hill arm warmers.
• Are you guilty like Bananarama? I'm guilty of liking the song at least, despite its extreme eighties-ness!

Hope your weekend is fun and fruitful!

Fabulous Fridays: 6 July 2012

Well, I'm impatiently awaiting a decision at work that could mean I go back to writing full-time shortly. I'm looking for a sign to tell me which way to jump. In the meantime, there's always Fabulous Friday and stunning stilettos...

• The poster girl for letting your freak flag fly and creating amazing art: Kate Bush.
• Been listening to Guns N' Roses' "Live and Let Die" this week. Apparently I'm not the only grammar Nazi it irritates.
• Thinking about watching Sucker Punch tonight. Gotta feeling it'd fit my girl-power supporting ways.
• An intriguing analysis of what best-selling novels have in common. You can definitely find number 6 in The Hunger Games. : )
• You can't go past ceramics with a sense of humour. My pick: the Lionel Richie teapot.
• I have a massive girl hard-on for no-cook cooking. Must be my lazy side! So this fudge recipe totally appealed.
• This is a bit cool: did you know you can buy social media buttons for your blog on Etsy?
• The Strong Female Protagonist web comic has arrived. About time!
• DIY, crafts and blogging... A few of my favourite things on the helpful Her New Leaf blog. : )
• The perfect man gift: a book about 'staches.

Hello Lover!

Glow patent bow court shoes from Topshop



Those shoes may need to make their way into my closet. Too gorgeous! : )

Fabulous Fridays: 29 June 2012

It's a rainy Friday here, but the sun has just peeped out so hopefully it will be a shiny, happy weekend. Let's get it off to a promising start!

• Stumbled across aqua crotchless latex knickers while searching for sailor hats on Etsy. Er...
• Personal branding is bullsh*t. Amen.
• Are we Aussies dumb, drunk and racist? I've been watching the show -- interesting to see our behaviour through the eyes of another culture.
• Looking lush at the office makes the working week skip along that little bit faster: 9 to 5 Chic.
• The Olympics are around the corner and I'm feeling the London love with some Harrods logo goodies.
• Gorgeous eco hanging mobiles for adults.
• Been listening to a whole lotta Christina this week and this is one of my faves.
• The style musings of a Teen Vogue editor: What Eva Wants...
• Bacon oatmeal cookies... what now?
• Please, please tell me how I can watch Craft Wars here in Australia? It looks like the secret lovechild of Awesome and Rad.
• Saw this Adam Hills skit last night and thought it was so lovely and inspiring: Inflatable.

Stay marvellous. : )
