Mix Baby


Mix Baby essentials- thanks to Coles

Baby socks, baby singlets, baby bibs, baby wraps, baby towels... all apart of now what is on offer as part of the Coles Mix Baby essentials range available at  Coles stores across Australia from this month.  Makes it so easy for us time poor mums- we can just grab our baby essentials as part of the grocery shop!

The quality is great and everything is priced between $4 and $12.

And yes that is my dear little boy, Ashley road testing the socks and wrap above. He's 2 months old today!! For all of my wonderful readers, I just want to let you know that I intend to keep this still as predominately a fashion blog, but Ash is such a HUGE part of my life he's bound to pop up now and again :)  He will however make more of a regular appearance on my Instagram feed.

Cost Per Wear


Novo Viola Ankle boot- thanks to Westfield
Icebreaker skyline trench- thanks to Natureshop
Jewellery- thanks to Sistaco
Jeans- Ziggy (similar here)
Shirt- DeFry (similar here)

It's getting cold here in Melbourne so time to don the boots and layers!  These spiked ankle boots are new in and available exclusively at Novo stores in Westfield centres.   

A black ankle boot is so versatile, and these have a great heel height making them really quite comfortable, and who could go past the heavy metal look.  They are a perfect match with skinny jeans in any colour, leather leggings, or perhaps a cute dress and black opaques.  Priced at $89.95 that really are good value and to prove it Westfield have created a Cost Per Wear (CPW) calculator.  Just input the price, how often you'll wear them (2 times/week), how long you'll keep them (they'll last for years but I'll calculate just for the rest of this Autumn/Winter season), maintenance costs (none for these boots)... that means these boots come in at $5.18 per wear. Great for those of us who want to be on trend, and on budget for this Autumn/Winter!  

I'll have another outfit post with these boots soon :)

MM Collection



Recently I was lucky enough to receive these beautiful 100% pure soy wax candles from Michael and Maree at MM Collection.  These candles are beautifully presented and handmade right here in Australia.

One of my everyday luxuries is to have a quality scented candle burning of an evening, and I have had the large Vanilla Voodoo candle burning this week, filling the room with the delicious smell of vanilla and double cream!  I can't wait to burn up my other candles with MM's signature scents Coconut & Lime, Espresso and Chocolate Crush; Fig & Melon, and Bubblegum Berry also sound amazing!  See the full range of scents here.

MM Collection candles are available for purchase online.
