Oh Etsy| Off the Hanger

shorts | tee | crop | kimono Clearly, I am a child, because I really really  want a pair of these adorable cactus shorts… too bad they are for babies! If I’m real with you guys, I would snap each one of these items off its hanger and put them all on a once (and wouldn’t THAT just be a fashion statement and a half!) But think of how cute I’d look with my dinosaur crop, under an awesome bear print…

DOWNLOAD | The Great ‘Outdoors’

The great outdoors have never appealed to me. Sure, lush forests and tall mountains are stunning, but what I want to know is ‘do they have wifi’? (They don’t. Trust me. I checked!) Personally, I’d much rather look at the great outdoors from the comfort of my couch. Or bed.  Or basically anywhere I don’t have to content with copious amounts of mud and bugs. So here is one for the not-so-outdoors-y…

DRINK | Cucumber & Elderflower Gin & Tonic

Is it Friday yet? No? Oh well, let’s pretend it is and make ourselves a drink to celebrate! TGIW! Amirite!? Can we talk about elderflower for a second? It seems that despite seeing it everywhere on places like Pinterest and in recipe books, I am completely unable to track down this mythical ingredient in local stores. ‘Pick up from your grocery store’ they say. They are damn liars the lot of…

Eat | Lazy Girl’s Breakfast Hash Browns

Let’s be real, if I could eat potato in every meal I totally would. I mean, I know that physically, its completely doable, but the grown up in me knows that it’s a bad idea. (My waistline thanks me for that sliver of adult behaviour!) Regardless, there are times when I wake up and decide to start my day with a stack of starchy goodness. These are the lazy girl (or guy) hash browns. The kind for…

Oh Etsy | Face Time

pillow | sweater | print | purse I have a new style motto: put adorable faces on everything! Faces on my linen. Faces on my walls. Faces on my clothes. Faces on my accessories. Get out a sharpie and start drawing! Or, you know, opt for the more permanent, quality option and purchase one of these pretties. This week’s Etsy picks come courtesy of the unique and striking works of Depeapa, My Little…

Happy Valentines Day (and a FREE download!)

Happy Expensive Flowers Day! I jest, I’m a big fan of Valentine’s Day, but damn are flowers expensive this time of year! In the spirit of the day, and because I know you probably already spent your paycheck on floral arrangements, here’s a freebie! A cute heart and arrow desktop background for you to download for your phone, ipad or computer!

DIY | Wooden Polaroid Photos

My latest craft project is up at Drifter & the Gypsy, this month we’re making these adorable wooden Polaroids. These mini photos are a unique and inexpensive way to display your favourite Instagram photos around your home! And, if you’re searching for a homemade gift idea, why not make a set of photos with you your significant other for Valentine’s Day? The full tutorial as well as some more…

DIY | Feathered Cat Toy

First of all, let me apologise for the image overload in this post. And when I say ‘apologise’ I mean in one of those ‘sorry-not sorry’ ways, because just LOOK at that FACE! If it seems like I’ve been a little distracted lately, it’s because of that pretty little face! I can’t resist it!

For those of you who have been here since the early years of this blog, you may remember my devon rex, Loki,…

EAT | Homemade Anzac Oat Slice

Happy Australia Day all! As today is our official national day, it is tradition to enjoy all things Australian. And you can’t get much more Australian than Anzac Biscuits. (For my international readers, who probably have no idea what I’m talking about; essentially cookies make from oats and coconut. They are sweet, chewy and pretty much the best oat cookies around.)

But instead of the usual…

Mixtape 05 | 2014 Hottest 100

Tomorrow is Australia Day, which means it’s time for the Triple J Hottest 100 – a massive music poll run by the national youth ratio station, Triple J. The count down is broadcast throughout the day and, to be honest, is the highlight of the day! As always, I’m looking forward to seeing who made it into the top 10 this year, (including seeing if Buzzfeed’s campaignto get Taylor Swift into the…

EAT | Elderflower & Mixed Berry Cake

I recently came to the conclusion that any cake looks super exciting when it has cream and layers. Take this elderflower cake, for example. By itself it’s sweet and delicious and pretty much your standard little cake. But you layer that baby up, fill it with  cream and fresh berries, and BAM! Look at this fancy lady! Damn gurl! You lookin’ fiiiine!

It might seem a little ‘wedding cake’-esque,…

EAT | Sugar & Raspberry Palmiers

Leave it to the French to come up with something as brilliant as palmiers. Essentially a pastry cookie in a butterfly type shape. these crispy delights are crazy easy and only require 3 ingredients to make! If there’s one thing the French do well (and lets face it, they do a lotof things very well!), pastries would have to be in the top 5! But you don’t need to travel to Paris to give these…

DIY | Simple Bead Garland

Now that we are officially into the new year,  its time for the Christmas decorations to come down. What a bummer! The house always seems so boring and dull once you take away the tinsel and baubles, so this year, instead of taking away all the fun, I am merely swapping it out for something a little more simple and a little less ‘seasonal’.  These beaded garlands are super cheap and only take a…
