How’s your skin looking and feeling today? Has it thrown a tanty similar to that of a two-year-old being refused a box of Tic-Tacs at the supermarket checkout? Yes, I thought so. The seasons, t...
Oh Nina. Oh Patrick. Oh Mick. Oh Rocket. What an episode?! Seriously, if they hadn’t added in a drunken Nina dancing (even worse than me) at Tuff Muff, I’d be crying into my laptop right ...
I had to do a double check of my calendar when the emails started landing in my inbox last night and this morning. There staring back at me was email after email telling me that the END-of-season sal...

I can feel it. Can you? Winter’s knocking at the door. My toes and hands no longer warm themselves. Unless my hands are cupping a mug of tea and my toes are firmly encased in my uggs, then I do...
Do you have periods of your life when the shopping just isn’t about you? That’s me right now. I’m ok, with it. Really. It’s just 64 days until I set off for New York and I pla...
I walked into the huge RSL function centre, blinded by the beading, sequins, chiffon and up-dos before me. All around were young adults, dressed up for their school night of nights: the Year 12 forma...
A glass of champers, sparkling jewellery and girly good times is a brilliant combination, don’t you think? That’s why Maria Nicola decided to launch her own Bubbles and Bling jewellery pa...
It’s one year on since I wrote this post. I had a re-read of it this week and what I wrote then is still sound advice for bloggers wanting to initiate work with brands and PRs. But before we ge...
Brace yourself Stylers. I really hope you’re sitting down. The white shoe is on its way back. I’ve learned never to say “never again” in regards to fashion trends doing a little re-trend (hello...
Oh boy. I has the sads. I know the characters on Offspring are not real people but I feel like my husband would feel had QLD lost the first round of the State of Origin last night. Patrick. You dufus...
Here at Styling You HQ, me, myself and I are often caught up in an interesting internal conversation with each other. Yesterday morning the conversation went something like this: Me: “It’...
I think this is my second favourite time of year. In Queensland at least. The nights are doona and ugg boot-worthy and the days warm up to some kind of non-humid gorgeous. I’m not sitting in a ...
Thank God I’m a country girl … Ok, you got me, I’m not. But if I am called upon to participate in some kind of themed dressing like I was over the weekend, I’m unlikely to head to a costume hire busi...
Have you been to a baby’s first birthday party lately? These are my favourite of all the kiddy party invitations that get stuck to the front of our fridge. You want to know why they’re my...
I do adore the chillier months. It’s a fabulous excuse to wear beautiful scarves and neckwear. Brooklyn Commons is a new discovery of mine and it’s filled with gorgeous accessories, including the ver...
Five years ago and three blog domains ago, at the encouragement of a friend I started a little blog. I had absolutely no idea what I was doing, and certainly no idea that a few years later I would be...
So, I woke up today all set and ready to pop on my white shirt for White Shirt Day 2012 but in the scramble that can be my mind sometimes, I realised about two hours later that the 19th of May is not...
There just seems to be so much stuff happening in the fashiony world at the moment. Maybe it’s because I’m still coming back to earth after Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week Australia? Maybe it&...
We’ve been talking a lot here about it being ok to make a bit of an effort to look some kind of “put together” for the school run. I followed up that post last week with some sugges...
Don’t you just love a freebie? It’s time for yet another big giveaway from Styling You. Hurrah! Whether you’d love to try a new hair colour, write your own bestselling novel or you&...
I’m so glad that Nina and Patrick took that rollercoaster ride in last night’s Offspring episode. I know it was only a dream but it may have given them a sense of the ups and downs they...
It’s almost four years since I took two weeks’ annual leave from my former career as a journalist and devoted that time to seeing whether I could pull together a new career. A self-employ...
There are many trends that get a re-visit from the fashion gods. Many are scary and not designed for anyone but teenagers. Not so, ponte. Yes, ponte. If you are *ahhem* of a certain age, you may or m...
I think you’re now very much across my lazy-girl attitude to beauty, aren’t you? I’m all about the looking put together with a minimum of fuss. I don’t even think it’s a...
Sponsored post We were latecomers to the Mad Men party. Our first introduction to the hit-series which gives you a fly-on-the-wall look at the 1960s advertising industry in New York was just a couple...
The topic of this post has been brewing for a while. No it’s not about science fiction or military history; but it is about another topic close to me…whether I like it or not! This post i...
I’m lying in the hammock that last weekend my husband remembered we owned and promptly strung up between an ageing grevillea tree and a post that holds up the front part of our patio. The kids ...
