GOLD COAST PICKER SISTERS

Saturday, my girlfriend Robbie, who is the designer behind Madison & Montana Soy Candle Co. got up at the crack of dawn to hit the garage sales to see what bargains we could grab! 


With the success of shows like American Pickers and Picker Sisters, we were inspired to create our stories at home and with our businesses with pre-loved treasures.


I also grabbed a brand new set of Remington heated hair rollers for $6 - best find of the day!!!


I set a budget of $50 for the day and below is just a few of the amazing pieces  I found...


I fell in love with this hand painted fan $10 and pastel pink ocean portrait $2

This small dressing screen was so unusual I had to have it $5 and this gorgeous porcelain container is stunning $2 

I got two of these stools for $5 for both and this box for $2

This sterling silver butter dish, tray and bottles were all $4.50

This cushion cover was brand new and actually has a fur texture $1

Robbie all loaded up with her vintage and antique teacups for Madison & Montana Soy Candle Co.

BEAUTY QUEEN

For years I've always been told how lucky I was to have such good skin. And for years I always blew the compliments off with a casual thank you. As I get older, I now cherish those compliments knowing how lucky I actually am.  Catching up with family, specifically the older generations I realise that it's all in the genes. My 85 year old grandfather doesn't look a day over 70, his younger sister who turned 70 this year looks barely 55 and my mum, who probably won't want me revealing her age haha is looking the best she has in years (in fact most people think she's lying when she reveals she has a 34 year old daughter!). I am blessed with the obviously magic youth genes from my mothers side but also the genes from my fathers side which carries the Native American heritage - which I believe are forever youthful. Most people think i'm in my mid-late 20's and i'm happy with that ;-) Everyone is different, so I thought I would share my daily ski...

HAVE YOU HEARD?

After a crazy weekend of celebrating our friends Hen's and Bucks (needless to say the chores and shopping didn't get done) - the boy came home from a long day's work and being the good girlfriend I am (hehe) I suggested take out for dinner. But rather than doing the standard McDonalds or Hungry Jacks, we decided to order delivery from Menulog  a fabulous new take-away food and delivery website that has a huge range of local restaurants available to order from the click of a button. Step 1.  Type in your postcode (see image below) Step 2.  A list of restaurants available to order from depending on your location - both takeaway and delivery appear for you to choose from (see image below) Labrador Delivery Step 3. You choose your restaurant and order the scrumptious food! There was a decent selection to choose from, however we went with ALs Convenience Aussie & Indian Takeaway which has a mixture of cuisine which was perfect fo...

This Thursday evening, I will be one of the lucky few to be attending the exclusive screening of "Uncovering the Brisbane Look".  QueensPlaza in association with Mercedes-Benz Brisbane is launching an inspiring documentary film to celebrate Brisbane's style at the GoMA . Former Vogue Editor, Kirstie Clements narrates the film and plays the role as Executive Producer while it looks at it's creativity, passion and everything that draws us in about Brisbane's thriving fashion industry. Style heavyweights interviewed especially for the film include Easton Pearson 's Lydia Pearson, Sass and Bide 's Heidi Middleton, and Nicky and Simone Zimmermann . The public launch will take place on Monday 3 March. I got the chance to have a quick chat to Stylist Josh Jones who was involved with the project about what he had to say...
