a day in the life // family













So for the past 4 days both Oscar and I have been held hostage at home, due to being ill! My darling little man started off with a cold and ended up having a very bad case of croop and I had some feral virus where my body just shut down. Temperatures, headache for days, sore throat just YUK. 

How ever we have managed to get through a very tough,long few days|nights and I am so proud of all of us…cause we managed to pick up from where we left off last week and get ourselves out into the fresh air! Hubby wanted to do something a little different than our usual Newcastle/Bar Beach/ Merewether Beach coffee, so we ventured a little further south to Caves Beach. 

Hubby surfs here so he knew how pretty it was and he wanted to share. We found this cute little coffee shop (which happened to be my first coffee in days -you know your sick when you give up coffee) very close to the beach, as you can see from the pics below. Oscar could not wait to get down to the beach!

Hope you are all well.

Colours // Pastel Pink

Currently I am lusting after all things baby pink. Whether it be a cushion for my lounge, an artwork for the living room  or a incredible wool coat for winter. This soft hue of baby pink is on my mind and definitely going to feature somewhere in my house or my wardrobe.

Fashion // Bassike SS 14/15 look book

I have been a huge fan of Australian label Bassike for years! If your new to the label, Bassike is well known for their structured collections that emulate both minimalism as well as the carefree Australian attitude of beach living. They also have an amazing basic range of organic cotton tee's and pants.

Below is a small snippet of the Spring Summer 2014/2015 women's campaign. Each piece looks to be well tailored while keeping that relaxed and chic feel that Bassike do so well.

Fashion: The Leather Backpack

So my best friends, family and all of you who have been reading le blog may know me as a lady that does kinda like her handbags! The leather, the hardware and the shear joy of a new handbag never fades. Yes Ill admit, my choice in some bags are rather unconventional especially for a Mumma of a little fella.Generally my bag contains Tupperware, buses, trains, matchbox cars, nappies, drink bottles, chips blah blah blah you get the idea. STUFF THAT ISN'T MINE! 

So to mix things up a bit I may have just solved all my problems….The leather backpack! 


I have totally fallen head over heals for the Prisim Skeletal backpack by Alexander Wang (as seen above).

What do you think?? Could this be a stylish/mummy friendly option….
