I arrived back today from a long weekend in Hobart. I quite enjoyed the trip, although I found the lack of stores open after 7pm slightly disturbing. It made my local supermarket feel like a luxury! The purpose of the trip was to research op-shops in the city centre, although it sort of turned into(…)
This is a pretty simple way to cut your dry-cleaning bills. Did you know that bi carb soda, or baking soda, can be used to remove a variety of stains? Remember the silk dress that I wore to the Gatsby Winter Soiree? Well, it got some splashes of an oily sauce on it at dinner(…)
Congratulations to Ross! I know Mary from l’call has emailed you the tickets, so enjoy! Thank you to everyone who entered. I love seeing new names on the blog. Please stay tuned for future competitions!
Do you like your food and your wine? I do! I’m hosting a competition in collaboration with l’call to win tickets to the Good Food and Wine Show this Friday evening in Melbourne. (The total prize value is $66.) The competition is in celebration of the l’call Winter Window Launch. They are celebrating their first(…)
The Gatsby Winter Soiree was certainly a night to remember. I’m not sure whether the outfits or dancing dazzled me more! I think events like this are fun because it is like stepping out of your life for a night. How often do you get to dress like an extra from The Great Gatsby? I had(…)

It is only available to Australian residents. To sell on Grand Circle, all you need is a PayPal account. Oh, and some clothes to sell would be a(…)
Okay, it’s getting to the point where some of my friends are starting to hate me over my success at op-shops. I do think it’s truly ironic that the ones who complain about my luck the loudest are the ones who only step into op-shops about twice a year. When I started this blog, I(…)
Thank you to everyone who entered to win a l’call purse! From my perspective, it’s always great to hear about unique labels that really make a difference in our society. L’call produces beautiful and individual products, and it was a pleasure gaining more insight behind the scenes in my profile. So, without further(…)
I love a good rummage through hard rubbish. So you can imagine my happiness when I received a letter from my body corporate stating that they had organised a hard rubbish collection for our apartment block. (I know I always have my nosed pressed up against the passenger window in the car if we pass(…)
