New Hair


The guitarist in my band has new hair. I think she looks pretty spunky, myself. She showed it off at a gig we did in early December. This is a snap I took on my phone of her on the night.

Ladies Bikes


This is my new bicycle (Lekker, Double Dutch). If you love vintage bikes and have a new group on the go called:

Young Ladies Classic Bicycle Association of Ballarat

We are a social group for ladies with classic bicycles, residing and riding in Ballarat.

We are not prone to Lycra or working up a sweat. Instead, we prefer looking classy and exploring paths around the Ballarat area at a leisurely pace. We talk about avoiding helmet hair, the best tracks, and wicker baskets.

Don't own a bike? You're welcome to join if you just like classic bikes or you are looking to buy one.

You can find us on Facebook here: https://www.facebook.com/groups/classicbikeladiesballarat/

Here is my housemate's spiffy bike. She has a Schwinn Jenny.

The Design Exchange




I went for a look around at the last Design Exchange market. I can guarantee there will be some Christmas Shopping done there by me come the December event. Check out the stuff from Bok-Bok B'Gerk on Facebook (or check out their blog link on the left): https://www.facebook.com/pages/Bok-Bok-BGerk/170774349644747

They were one of my favourite stalls.

A pussy cat and a posie

I got given some flowers. It's a simple posie from a friends garden and they are just the sort of flowers I like. Also pictures, my house-mate's cat. Her name is Babsie. I love fresh flowers. It's great to spoil yourself to some every once in a while. Get them from a garden or second to that a florist if you can. They last so much longer and are worth every cent.

Book Repair

Today at my placement in the Library I got to do a book repair on a Harry Potter book. For all my Melbourne Muggle friends, here is me returning a copy of The Order of the Phoenix to a reading ready state.

Pic Please!

I've been using PicPlz to snap some pictures of things on my phone. Love the filters you can choose as well as the fact that my weighty SLR can stay snugly in its bag. Here are some of my recent pictures.


I went to the hairdresser today and I LOVE my new cut.


Me with my hair natural. Have a look at my new headband from Sportsgirl. A new addition to the wardrobe that didn't break the bank!


Is the word posie or posy? Someone gave me a bunch of flowers. I LOVE French lavender.



My house-mate's new bike, with her cat in the basket.

And just to rehash some old favourites I have posted before...


The lovely CAKE on Main Rd, Ballarat.


A snapshot from my coverage of The Pink Martini fashion show for Chitra's Closet.


The Eiffel Tower at night. First time I'd ever seen it in the dark. First time I'd been to Paris.


Hanging out in the shed with my Uncle. This day he was fixing a Jag XK 150.


Handmaking pasta!


New blog post coming soon which includes my latest vintage clothing finds and lots of pictures!

The Ballarat Vintage A-Fair


Here are some highlight shots from the Vintage Fair on the weekend. I managed to snap a couple of pictures of some gorgeous outfits while I was there, as well as some of the attendees. Enjoy!




Some of the gorgeous women running the show. You may recall the lovely lady on the left from my pics of the Fashions In Time cocktail party. I took at least 20 photos of her hair (which was amazing). A few of which made it into my blog post about the event. You can check it out here. In fact you'll probably recognise a few faces from the fair on that blog post...



Loved these colours!


Pictures of my purchases will be coming up soon. If you went, I'd love to hear about what you bought.
