Over the last week I have passed through Sydney Airport six times in seven days, so it only seems fitting that this week I feature my travel style. I don’t know about you, but my number one consideration when I am traveling is comfort, regardless of whether it’s a quick jaunt to Melbourne or 24 hours in the same seat to London. I took my very first flight at 9 months old. Suffice to say that I don’t remember a thing, but it was purportedly an epic 45 hour journey which included a cracked windscreen that needed to be repaired in Hong Kong and when the plane finally landed in Heathrow everyone was trapped inside for an additional two hours when the doors failed to open. Oh and I apparently threw up on a fellow passenger only an hour into the journey so that poor lady had to do it all covered in my baby vomit. Since my rather inauspicious start, I have taken to flying like a duck to water. I have no idea how many hours I’ve spend at 36,000ft but I have sure learned a thing or two about dealing with the rather unique conditions in flight.  Read on for all the details …

I seriously cannot believe that Wednesday has rolled around again already! This week has been a whirlwind of travel. I was in Melbourne for work on Wednesday/Thursday, then I spent Saturday to Tuesday on the Sunshine Coast and today as this post goes live, I’m on a plane home from Brisbane. My hectic schedule meant that there was little time to take outfit photos, so I had to multi-task. The Co-Conspirator snapped these shots while we visited the vineyards of the Sunshine Coast. I only purchased this printed dress the day before the photos were taken, mostly because my packing was woefully inadequate. The Friday night before our early morning departure we had a bunch of friends around for my home cooked paella and churros. The wine was flowing and when I finally got around to packing at 1.30am my attention to detail was less than stellar. Read on for all the details …

Hey there! It’s so good to see you again for another Fresh Fashion Forum. This week I’m out to prove that neutrals don’t have to be boring in my camel pants and girly floral halter. I’ve been all about colour on the blog lately so I thought it was high time to tone it down a notch. I wanted to keep it fresh and light so I’m pairing the pants with my white floral halter. Well that and the fact that the number of weeks that the weather will let me go sleeveless are dwindling rapidly. Hey who can blame me for trying to get as much mileage as I can out of this halter while the weather lasts. Of course I threw on a cardi while I was in the office to cover the tatt. Gotta keep it professional you know! Read on for all the details …

Hello and welcome to a new Fresh Fashion Forum. This week I’m thrilled to be partnering with Showpo to bring you an item that I have been wanted to get my hands on for a while; the cape coat.

They offer a great range of quirky, fun and bang on trend items so you are sure to find something that tickles your fancy. The icing on the cake is free shipping if you spend over $50 (Australia and New Zealand) or $75 (rest of the world). Read on for all the details …

Last week I shared my Biker Chick look from our recent weekend away to Canberra. This week I though I would feature an outfit that I wore out to dinner while we were in town. It was a lovely summery night even though it was actually Autumn and Canberra is notorious for cold weather. I made the most of the heat by dragging out this electric blue dress and added some bright accessories for a bit of fun (check the matching toes!). The photos were taken in the heart of Canberra city on the (very short!) walk from our hotel to Blu Ginger where we enjoyed a delicious Indian feast. Read on for all the details …

My hubby has been a motorcycle enthusiast for many years. In fact, motorcycles are his first love and he was infatuated well before I came on the scene. You don’t live with a biker (and I say biker not bikie!) for that long without having to throw your leg over his pride and joy every now and then. I guess that makes me a rather reluctant biker chick. Just about everywhere we go The Hubs will suggest taking his beloved BMW and I usually have a bunch of excuses that means we end up in the car instead. This weekend we popped down to Canberra for two nights and I was all out of excuses so a two wheeled road trip was on the agenda. Plus I really wanted to wear my new baby blue leather jacket and the hot weather meant this was the only way I could think of doing it without looking like a complete tosser. Just because you are sitting on the back of a bike for three hours, can no longer feel your backside and are splattered in dead bugs doesn’t mean you can’t add a little bit of style to what needs to be a very functional outfit.

Australia makes some of the best wines in the world and they are exported far and wide. I love exploring the boutique wineries that dot this vast nation and of course sampling their produce. I feel like I’m giving something back to the local community with each bottle I buy. That’s my story and I’m sticking to it! Last weekend I spent a few nights in Lake Conjola on the NSW south coast so I couldn’t pass up the chance to visit Cupitts. My light summery check shirt seemed like the perfect attire for sipping a few bevvies in the sunshine. Read on for all the details …
