About

Hello, my name is Tracey and I am a shopaholic!

I’m also a mamma, a wife, a daughter, a gemini (but don’t hold that against us me), a vegetarian & in case you missed it earlier, a shopaholic.

I’m very passionate about supporting local businesses, so my aim is to let you know about the best places to shop in Melbourne. I’ll share lots of my favourite local places to eat and explore too.

I’m also chief shopaholic at Melbourne Mamma’s Market – a designer label sale that I created, to help mums shop all the best sales in one convenient location and to help local independent designers and boutiques clear their end of season stock. The sale is held twice a year – end of Summer and end of Winter.

Things I like… 
melbourne, shopping, reading, dumplings, sunshine, rice paper rolls, lip gloss, donuts, supporting local businesses, smashed avo, sales, pandas, potato cakes, travelling, sleeping in, strawberry big m, yahtzee, salt & vinegar chips, baking, movies, gin, koalas, trashy reality tv, being in charge, 90s hip hop, margaritas (really big ones), anything from the 80s, being a gemini, more shopping

Things I don’t like… 
migraines, insomnia, coffee, being late, no wifi, frizzy hair, iphone low battery warning, rain at school pickup time, liars, people who don’t rsvp, melbourne weather, meat, people who talk loudly on their phone in public places, postage prices

I love sharing my favourite local finds with my friends & family, so now it’s your turn. If there’s a fantastic sale, event or place to go in Melbourne, I’ll let you know about it.

I look forward to sharing with you the things I love in life and the gorgeous goodies and fabulous bargain I find along the way.

Enjoy reading & most of all, happy shopping ♥

Tracey

PS. To my darling, wonderful, handsome husband –  if you are reading any of this, it is all made up – I have not visited all these sales & bought all these things. Now, go to sleep and forget any of this ever happened (except the part where I called you darling, wonderful and handsome xxx)

11 days down, Influenza A still lingering… but com 11 days down, Influenza A still lingering… but comfort food is doing its thing 😊

Crispy tofu bánh mì + a raspberry cordial = the small joys getting me through recovery.

Not fancy. Just comforting. And honestly, exactly what I needed 🥖❤️

Just finished Wild Dark Shore by Charlotte McConag Just finished Wild Dark Shore by Charlotte McConaghy and… Wow!!!
What. A. Ride. 📚

From the very first chapter, I was hooked. And the twists? I did not see them coming.

Charlotte McConaghy proves once again why Australian authors are absolutely unmatched when it comes to vivid storytelling and emotional punch 🇦🇺📚

It’s beautifully written, deeply moving, and completely unputdownable.
Highly, highly recommend! 

My rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️.5

Have you read it yet? Let’s chat 👇

“Dominic Salt and his three children are caretakers of Shearwater, a tiny island not far from Antarctica. Home to the world’s largest seed bank, Shearwater was once full of researchers. But with sea levels rising, the Salts are now its final inhabitants, packing up the seeds before they are transported to safer ground.

Despite the wild beauty of life here, isolation has taken its toll on the Salts. Raff, 18 and suffering his first heartbreak, can only find relief at his punching bag; Fen, 17, has started spending her nights on the beach among the seals; 9-year-old Orly, obsessed with botany, fears the loss of his beloved natural world; and Dominic can’t stop turning back towards the past, and the loss that drove the family to Shearwater in the first place.

Then, during the worst storm the island has ever seen, a woman washes up on shore. As the Salts nurse the woman, Rowan, back to life, their suspicion gives way to affection, and they finally begin to feel like a family again. Rowan, long accustomed to protecting her heart, begins to fall for the Salts, too. But Rowan isn’t telling the whole truth about why she set out for Shearwater. And when she discovers the sabotaged radios and a freshly dug grave, she realises Dominic is keeping his own dark secrets.”
