Lady Melbourne

Why I thought I could move house quietly in the background and it not disrupt my blog is beyond me, but here it is: I’m moving house and it’s impossible to blog!

Along with Twinings I’m giving you the chance to win your very own Assam pack that included this gorgeous wooden Twinings of London box full of tea!

This blog post is dedicated to the Irish national Jill Meagher who was abducted, raped and murdered this week in Melbourne. I understand that this is a departure from usual blog content, but I wanted to acknowledge this story because its really affected me.

I did all sorts of things this weekend, mostly it was a lovely chance to relax and catch up on things after fashion week and the races last weekend. It also gave me a chance to sort of a heap of new things that I have lying around that I just haven’t had a chance to feature as yet.

You may remember a little while ago, I posted about a project that I worked on with Westfield Doncaster called ‘The Electric Lounge.’

Well the launch was recently where you were all invited to come a long and have a look at the installation.

I have a photo shoot on the weekend for a rather fancy campaign that will be featured on the blog but that you will hopefully see about the place. That’s all I can say at the moment!

I have blogging fatigue. I’m stuck. I literally have no idea what to blog about and haven’t for a week now.

When I started to think about where I was going to do my Christmas shopping I wondered if I could do it all by shopping with Australian and independent businesses.

Over the years I’ve been blogging there have been many things I’ve learnt along the way. Some things however are timeless and even at this stage in my blogging career I return to what I’ve compiled below and strive to do it better.

As is my usual want one evening I was randomly searching Etsy for vintage delights and happened upon this print from Ecceprints.

I’ve been thinking about doing this post for a while to combine two ideas in one: how I take care of the majority of my ‘hand wash only’ wardrobe, and to include a Hills Hoist clothes line for all my ex-pat readers.
