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 💜

I Love Stairs. I Really Do. These are near my hom I Love Stairs. I Really Do.

These are near my home and I go up and down them just about every day. 
Eighty steps, to be exact.
Sometimes I use them for a bit of cardio ... up and down, up and down. 
My record is 10 flights and it almost killed me. Around 5 is my average.

It’s this mini challenge I’ve set for myself. A small goal to kick. 
And it feels particularly good on the shitty days when I feel like I’ve achieved absolutely nothing.

Not sure what it says about me, if it says anything at all.
Me? I love stairs. I really do. 🖤

Happy Friday.

I’m at My Best When I’m the Most Comfortable I’m at My Best When I’m the Most Comfortable 

Not comfortable as in “baggy clothes on the sofa” comfortable. Though that has its place.

I mean comfortable in the truest sense. When what I’m wearing feels right. 
When, where I am, physically and emotionally, feels aligned. 

It’s taken me a while to understand this.

Physical comfort, I have to say, was sorted early. Somehow I knew what worked for me. A crisp white shirt, well-cut shorts and loafers I can walk in all day. 
Really, just clothes that I enjoy wearing.

But emotional comfort? That was harder. Being at ease with myself took some stumbling and jumping over hurdles. And I have to say that it’s much easier (and more fun) being 60+ than sweet 16.

Getting there ... it’s been a rollercoaster, with some smooth sailing thrown in.
Has it been rewarding?  I say ‘Yes’

Animal Print … A Brief History Animal print has Animal Print … A Brief History

Animal print has been making statements for centuries. And I’m not talking about the 1980s (though that was quite the moment). Sadly, I was a little too young to fully embrace it then, but I’ve certainly made up for it since. Now I can’t remember a time when I haven’t had it in my wardrobe.

So here are some interesting facts about the power and beauty of animal print ...

Ancient royalty wore leopard skins as symbols of power ...
If you had a big cat draped over your shoulders, you were clearly someone important.

The 1920s brought animal print into fashion properly ...
Designers started using it on coats and accessories. Suddenly it was chic, not just ceremonial.

The 1940s-50s cemented it as glamorous ...
Think Marilyn Monroe, Elizabeth Taylor, Jackie Kennedy - all photographed in leopard print coats. Hollywood made it synonymous with confidence and allure.

The 1960s-70s turned it rebellious ...
Rock stars, Brigitte Bardot, Studio 54. Animal print became shorthand for wild, unapologetic style.

The 1980s went maximum ...
Big shoulders, big hair, big leopard. It was everywhere and it was loud.

Today? Animal print is a neutral. A classic. Something you invest in and keep forever. 
Although for me it will always be the wilder piece in my wardrobe and its allure draws me to it year after year.

This silk shirt from @tim_oconnor_design has been in my wardrobe since 2023. Still fabulous.

Animal print—irresistible. 🖤💛

Mischief... Do you ever get a wave of it now and Mischief...

Do you ever get a wave of it now and then?

I loved it when my daughter got that look on her face ... a little wicked sparkle in her eye ... and off she went. 

The mischief ranged from raiding my wardrobe and creating wonderfully chaotic outfits to drawing on someone’s sofa. Nothing that didn’t charm me even more or make me bubble with love.

As a young adult now, I see it rarely. And I miss it very much.

Me on the other hand? I seem to have found my mischief again.

And it’s soooooo much fun. 

Wishing you a wonderful weekend. 

May it include a little mischief. ✨
