Many would argue that our summer was pretty average, however, as I’m trying to be a "glass half full" type, I can definitely think of one  advantage to the change of weather this early in the year - it’s much easier to shop for coats, boots and knits when it’s not 25 degrees outside and given the selection of products I’ve seen gracing shop windows this...

Anyway, as I am starting the annual ritual of my winter wish list I thought it only fitting to share some of my fabulous finds in this week's Shop the Look.

We also have some exceptional...

I was reminded of being a kid and busting my dance moves to “I Wanna Dance with Somebody” in the lounge with my older sister while watching R.T.R countdown. We were ecstatic when an Aunty came to stay who brought with her the new Whitney album – we couldn’t believe our luck. Unfortunately, the record player was off limits to over enthusiastic children. I’m...

Sitting in the Jacob’s Creek corporate box, enjoying food and wine while watching the tennis was a delightful and indulgent way to spend a Wednesday afternoon. We were feeling very pleased with ourselves when we left and are now pondering what exciting activity we could do this Wednesday – out on a yacht perhaps?

While the weather may have been a little disappointing, it offered a great chance to read a few books, catch up with friends and potter around the house. Ok, so I admit that probably sounded like a very boring break but, in hindsight, it was actually bliss and I’m back at work feeling moderately recharged and ready to tackle 2012 head on. So starting off the year's Fashion Reports we...
