What Working with a Friend Looks Like ... This i What Working with a Friend Looks Like ... 

This is Joseph. We’ve been friends for years and we collaborate on projects together.
Sometimes that means filming etiquette content for @powerofetiquette. Sometimes it means showing up as each other’s plus-one when the occasion calls for it. Mostly it means behaving like siblings.

This reel? We spent an hour pretending to have serious conversations about body language and connection. And then we collapsed laughing because filming yourself talking about eye contact while sitting on a very serious bench is absurd.

The final result is actually quite good. You can watch it over at @powerofetiquette.

Creative partnerships like this are rare. I’m lucky to have one. 🖤

Tomorrow Is My Birthday ... And I won’t be anno Tomorrow Is My Birthday ...

And I won’t be announcing my age. 

Quite frankly, I’m a little tired of hearing it myself.

Despite what I read and try to believe, ageing isn’t fabulous. 
And being 60++++ is definitely not the best I’ve ever felt.

The best I’ve ever felt? Giving birth to my daughter 21 years ago. 

Sixteen hours of labour, then an epidural. Those were the best 16 hours I’ve ever had. 
I’m absolutely serious. And I know nothing will beat that. I loved every moment!

So back to birthdays ... they are what they are. 

And ageing ... is what it is.

And I’ll make the most of both.
Happy Birthday to me. 🥂

The universal language of respect ... Morocco tau The universal language of respect ...

Morocco taught me something I already knew but had forgotten to name:

My daughter and I spent days with people who didn’t speak a word of English. We didn’t speak Arabic. Yet we connected deeply through gestures, expressions, laughter, shared meals and genuine warmth.

The hospitality we received was extraordinary. Fresh mint tea offered with pride. Invitations into homes. Conversations that happened entirely through smiles and hand movements. Moments where language didn’t matter because the respect and kindness were unmistakable.

Cultural differences didn’t stand in our way. They deepened the connection.
Because we both understood something fundamental - respect doesn’t need translation.

A smile means welcome everywhere. A gesture of offering means generosity.
Eye contact means “I see you.”
Touch means “you matter.”

These people - whose names we couldn’t pronounce, whose language we couldn’t speak, showed us what true respect looks like.

It’s about showing up with an open heart and treating every person you meet as worthy of your attention, your respect, your genuine presence.

The Langham Sydney ... Pup Friendly and My Escape The Langham Sydney ... Pup Friendly and My Escape

Some hotels tolerate dogs. ... The Langham Sydney welcomes them.

Bobbi has her own bed, her own treats and the kind of attention that makes her think she owns the place.

And me? I have my favourite corner for afternoon tea, a lobby that never fails to make me feel elegant and staff who remember my name ... and hers.

It’s the perfect place for ‘Bobbi Time’ or ‘Me Time’.

Their beauty is absolute. It is the perfect harmony.”

For me, it’s irresistible. 🖤🤍

Suit + Sneakers ... Super cool, très chic and so Suit + Sneakers ...

Super cool, très chic and soooo comfortable ...

Now, I’ve always believed a great sneaker can do things a heel simply cannot. It gives a suit an easy, relaxed confidence that says “I mean business but I also know how to have fun.”

My fashion tip?
Always try a sneaker with your suit before you default to heels.
You might just surprise yourself.

The Colour Palette I Couldn’t Stop Photographing The Colour Palette I Couldn’t Stop Photographing ...

Terracotta. Dusty pink. Earthy ochre. Muted greens.

This is Kasbah Ba Ourika in Morocco’s Ourika Valley and I fell completely in love with its colour palette.

Every wall, every archway, every corner felt considered. Nothing was overdone. Just layers of warmth, curiosities and tranquility.

I photographed it endlessly. I even bought a dress to match it.

This place? Pure calm. ✨

The Jacket I’m Reluctant to Wear ... This leath The Jacket I’m Reluctant to Wear ...

This leather jacket is almost a decade old. @rickowensonline. Still perfect. 
Still fits. Still makes me feel like the version of myself I rather like.
And yet, I hardly wear it anymore.

When I first bought it, it was on my shoulders constantly. I threw it over dresses, jeans, skirts ... everything. 
There was no hesitation or second thought.

Now? It sits in my wardrobe and I don’t reach for it. 
It’s been two years now, perhaps three.

I can’t quite put my finger on why.

Is it that I’ve changed? Is it that the jacket feels too bold for who I think I am now? 
Is it some quiet reluctance I haven’t examined yet?
I love this jacket and I’m not parting with it. 
And now it’s beginning to haunt me a little.

Perhaps we hold onto things not because we’re ready to wear them again, but because we’re not ready to let go. 

Perhaps it’s the memories of some great times I had when I wore it. 
Those days have passed and I miss them.

Decision made. It’s going to be worn. Soon. 
The weather is cooling in Sydney and that’s a perfect excuse.
And there’s excitement bubbling. 
I think my jacket and I are ready to be reunited.

I have a deep love for opals, perhaps you have not I have a deep love for opals, perhaps you have noticed. 
Not just because they’re uniquely Australian, but because every opal is unique. 
No two are ever the same.

I’m fortunate to have dear friends, Dr. Renata Bernard and John Bernard @opalminded, who have their own opal mine. John mines in Jundah, Queensland and brings them home to Sydney, where Renata designs and creates the most exquisite jewellery.

I’m fortunate to own a few pieces and when I want to immerse myself in the world of beautiful jewels and opals, I pop into their boutique to play and fantasise. It’s sooo much fun!

If you’re ever in Sydney and curious about opals, I’d be genuinely happy to introduce you to Renata and the @opalminded boutique. 
Or if you’re elsewhere, a warm introduction can be easily arranged. 
They ship internationally and Renata is wonderful to work with.

Eyes That Tell a Better Story ... I’ve just di Eyes That Tell a Better Story ... 

I’ve just discovered @elizabethardenanz’s latest launch - the NEW Retinol + HPR Ceramide Eye Cream.

This is Elizabeth Arden’s most advanced line-smoothing innovation yet, powered by next-generation retinol technology. 
It joins their already impressive Retinol + HPR Collection (serum and moisturiser)and it’s a game changer!

I’ve been using it for three days now and the results are visible. 
Brighter, smoother, renewed-looking eyes... that’s what I’m seeing in my mirror.

This is worth trying.

Shop in-store or online now and receive a complimentary 5ml deluxe sample to try it yourself ✨

Meet Pixel ... Hyatt Canberra’s New Ambassadog 🐾🐾

Two weeks ago, I had the absolute pleasure of meeting Pixel on her first days at her new home - @hyattcanberra.

Pixel is a retired Australian Federal Police working dog who, after years of dedicated service, will now spend her days greeting guests, spreading joy and hanging out with the GM’s two young sons.

I absolutely love meeting hotel dogs when I travel overseas, so I’m thrilled it’s starting to happen here in Australia. This is such a fabulous initiative by the hotel and I can see occupancy rates increasing ... mine certainly will!

I’m a regular at @hyattcanberra (my daughter is at university in Canberra) and I’m already looking forward to my next visit. Seeing my daughter and catching up with Pixel? A perfect weekend, I say.

A special thank you to Shane Jolly, General Manager, for the personal introduction and for making every stay that much better. 🖤

International Women’s Day ... Give To Gain Toda International Women’s Day ... Give To Gain

Today is International Women’s Day and this year’s theme ‘Give To Gain’ has been sitting with me.

It’s such a simple truth, isn’t it? When we lift each other up, we all rise.

I’ve been thinking about the women who’ve shaped my life. The ones who shared their knowledge without hesitation. The ones who made introductions, opened doors, celebrated my wins as loudly as their own. The ones who said “you should do this” when I was too uncertain to see it myself.

And I’ve been thinking about the times I’ve done the same. How good it feels to champion another woman. To refer her, support her, make space for her voice. 
To watch her succeed and feel genuinely, deeply happy about it.

Give to gain isn’t transactional. It’s transformational.

So here’s to the women who’ve given to me. 
And here’s to continuing to give to the women around me.
Not just today, but always.

Because when women support women, incredible things happen 💜

Happy International Women’s Day 💜
