September Highlights

I love looking back over the photos in my iPhone and seeing what caught my attention this month. From photos I have taken to things I have saved from Facebook. It's great to see the the themes evolving and the experience si have had. After my last share all I thought I would make this a regular thing to look back at the month that was.

So here is September in a snapshot or two.

Sunset from my balcony

Ceiling at the NGV, Melbourne - I attend a luncheon with Rachel Griffiths as the guest speaker

I found this quote the day I booked my Fiji trip!

Sunset in Fiji. Bliss

Six days of nothing but reading and relaxing in the sun

And swimming in water that was a very pleasant 24 degrees!

Getting up early for sunrise in Fiji

Loving this new look from Alannah Hill SS13/14 collection

Homemade seafood laksa overkill. Amazing but way too much to eat

Morocco or Brazil (Can't remember) but loving the colours and architecture. Both are on my travel list.

Sunset reflected on the Sydney Opera House

My October issues of my favourite magazines ready for Sunday afternoon (A secret pastime of mine)

Grand Final Day snacks - as always I over cater!

What an amazing month. I wonder what October will bring??

Handbags

As a girly girl I love shoes, champagne and handbags and fashion and plenty more. But I wanted to share a few handbags I am currently loving. Miu Miu Bag - Image Making Magique The Hermes Birkin. Bliss Loving the pop of neon Another pop of neon My current favourite pop of neon yellow. Am trying to find my own before winter ends. As you can see my current style crush is a more structured tote. One day I will own a Birkin. Wonder what colour I will choose? A black or tan that will go with everything or something a little more special that shows off my fabulous purchase? I am in handbag heaven with these beauties. Can't wait to find my own slice of perfection. I feel a shopping weekend coming on! xxx

Thoughts and Feelings

Hi all, It's such a great feeling to know that I have a place to to put my thoughts. Whether anyone reads them, or takes them on board, isn't really the point. It's about a safe place to download and share. The good, the bad, the exciting and the ugly. While those close to me will know that the last 12 months have been tough and the last 6 more so, others will probably not have noticed a change in the business as usual version of me.

That people would shun us and think less of us for showing our really feelings and our real lives. In this day of social media and the desire to share the best bits of our lives with everyone (those we know and those we don...
