Top 5 ‘New Kids on the Block’ – Life Instyle Pt 1

August 13 2014 By melbournemamma 2 Comments

One of the highlights of my year is attending Life Instyle, a boutique trade event featuring beautiful designer brands including premium homeware, giftware, lifestyle and kids products.

 

It’s a glimpse into all the gorgeous goodies heading to stores, which for a shopaholic like me, can be both exciting and torturous (I want to BUY BUY BUY, right there and then) 🙂

 

I also love meeting with the designers and finding out their inspiration for the latest collection (and mentally preparing my wishlist for next season).

 

One of the most exciting elments of the event is discovering new products and designers. There are always SO many new treasures to find but I’ve narrowed it down to my Top 5. …

Winter Boots from Walnut Melbourne

July 27 2014 By melbournemamma 58 Comments

One of things I love about Winter is wearing boots – actually that’s a lie, it’s probably the only thing I love.

 

Ankle boots or long boots, I don’t care – I love them all.

 

When the fab team at Walnut Melbourne offered to send some boots to the kids and myself to road test, I didn’t hesitate to say ‘yes’.

 

The hard part was deciding which ones because there were so many to choose from. …

Cosying up with Canningvale

July 8 2014 By melbournemamma 103 Comments

I must admit, I rarely spend a lot of money on bed linen for my own bed.

 

Before I had kids, I loved nothing more than lazing around in bed on the softest sheets I could find – reading books and sipping on hot tea.

 

Then along came two kids and that luxury became a distant memory {sigh}.

 

You can imagine how excited I was when Canningvale sent me one of their Mille 1000 Thread Count Cotton Sheet Sets to road sleep test – SQUEEEEAL!

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.”
