The haunted.
16th August 2010 | 0 comments | 3 people like this
It’s official, there’s been a ghost in my house.
It happened last weekend, as my man and I were emptying our closets of clothes to donate to charity. I was feeling quietly chuffed about my philanthropy, even donating some designer labels without a thought of what I might make on eBay.But, just like that, She was there. As my fiancé handed me a frightful, bright orange ‘puffa’ jacket I spotted it.... -
Is anybody out there?

I’ve been housebound for the last week and I’m starting to feel a little strange.
You see, I’ve been sick and I think I’m losing touch with reality.I haven’t really been outside, so my beauty routine has taken a back seat. And, considering how obsessed I am with hair and makeup, it’s clear that I’m on a downward spiral.Father, I have a confession – I haven’t brushed my hair for three... -
Just being Miley?

Everyone’s picking on Miley Cyrus, and I’m starting to wonder if it’s a little unfair.
In case you haven’t got the SMS, Miley’s left behind the childish innocence of Hannah Montana and is sporting a new – and yes, arguably raunchy – image.Her antics and style choices of late have outraged a whole lot of people. The steady boyfriend, a look I like to call ‘Rock-Raunch Luxe’ and penchant for lap... -
The bag lady

Some girls love their shoes, but it's handbags that have my heart.
I can't even describe the visceral reaction that I have when I spy a vintage Chanel 2.55. Black with gold hardware please. Gimme.My love affair with bags started early. There are pictures of me, aged around 4, dragging around a tiny drawstring purse with little beads. I was a poor man's Suri Cruise.When I was five and I decided... -
If I could turn back time

I’m 27 years old. And I feel like a has-been.
That’s right – I’m not yet thirty and I’m finding myself look at teenagers and girls in their early twenties and envying their youth.Up until a couple of years ago, I couldn’t get into a bar without about 7 forms of ID. I got used to jamming my clutch with different forms of identification, just to get my vodka lime and... -
Porn for chicks

Lately I’ve been up all hours of the night, sneaking looks at my laptop. I look while I’m at work, in the car, even while I’m waiting in line at the grocery store. My man knows that I do it, but lately it’s been happening so often that he’s starting to feel unloved. I’ve even started paying for it.
Yep, it’s official, I am addicted to online shopping. It’s porn for... -
A bit on the side

They say a leopard can’t change their spots. I can’t say whether this is true or not, I don’t care for leopards. But I do know a thing or two about cheaters (not Cheetahs, reeeeeow!).
If you’ve never cheated on a partner, I applaud you. I, much to my own disgust, can’t make this claim myself. Yep, I’ve cheated on boyfriends before. Several times, actually.Now, before you cast your eyes away... -
The taming of ‘The Drew’

This is a story about “The Drew”.
Drew is a guy that I went on a particularly weird date with about 3 years ago, one that now provides me with endless hours of entertainment and blogging material.I knew Drew through people at uni. He was good looking, came from a wealthy family and was studying to be a lawyer. Oh yeah, he was ‘good on paper guy’. In real life? Not... -
Bleached as

I am renowned for changing my hair colour. Blonde one day, brunette the next, just some bleach or an all over colour and I am on my way, baby.
I had a year where I went back and forth between blonde and brunette every couple of months. Needless to say, my hair suffered as a result. I ended up having to get a chin length bob to cut out all the... -
The bachelor
12th May 2010 | 4 comments | 2 people like this
When I was 22, I had a very indecent proposal. Out at a club with my girlfriends, I noticed a portly dude giving me the eye. I tried to ignore him – not my type, but he wouldn’t look away. The minute I went to the bar to get a drink, this guy followed me. What happened next kind of shocked me.
The guy, slurring his words, told me that he...
