I love the simplicity of this; the bread, jam, butter and the timber that complements it. Not to mention the cawfee! I don’t drink coffee much and it annoys me that I can extend control and not get addicted to it, like I do with other vices: sugar, bad fats, etc.

My sister has decided that I have an obsession with Betty Boop (which I don’t) so has henceforth FORCED a Betty Boop collection onto me. Every Christmas/Birthday she gives me Betty Boop stuff. I have never ever ever ever in my life said “I love Betty Boop, I should get more of her stuff…” but it seem’s that my sister thinks I can’t live without her. Please enjoy Talia, Lola and I modeling my birthday gift….SYNTHETIC BETTY BOOP UGH BOOTS WITH PINK AND FUR TRIM.

P.S. I returned them without my sister knowing and bought a sports bra instead.

I heart this kitchen so much! I can’t wait to have a house of my own to decorate. When I was a kid growing up in the hills we had a very creative house. My dad was an artist and really used our house to express himself. My favourite parts about our house were the knife and fork door handles and the old aluminium bin lid used as a lamp shade in the kitchen.
I miss that house.

Tim Buckley’s “Song To A Siren” is to die for! And here I was just saying that I was taking a break from blogging for the week, but excuse this - I couldn’t help it. xx

Just a quick note.

I’m taking a week off any heavy-duty blogging (lol rofl) & have decided I’ll post a picture a day that I like, that you can marvel at. Brenna’s keen as to do this also but she will sporadically post other bits & pieces too. Happy holidays, or something like that! Love from the ladies, xx.

A heart that hurts is a heart that works.

Placebo “Bright Lights

Pardon me for the emo-like lyrics, but I heard this song today and it’sĀ kinda lovely. I used to have a massive crush on Brian Molko! WHAT! Don’t hate on me! I wasn’t alone, I shared this crush with thousands of other hetero girlsĀ & plenty more confused boys.

Truffles! Oh yes, that’s what I’m making this evening. Do I ever make savoury dishes? Why yes, I certainly do but I find desserts and sweets much more fun, and generally easier. I’m TERRIFIED of undercooking chicken and overcooking salmon! Anyway, the truffles aren’t the sort you’d buy from Koko Black or Haighs, they’re simple - more CWA style.
OLD MATE TRUFF TRUFFS
Ingredients2 cups of crushed Marie Biscuits (approx 1 packet)1 can of condensed milk2 tablespoons of cocoa1 cup of coconut (+ extra for rolling ‘em)
Pop the entire packet of biscuits in a food processor or blender until they’re a crumb-like consistency & this should make two cups - this is the most tedious part! Once that’s ready to go combine all the ingredients in whatever order you wish. Wet your hands* and then roll into balls dip into a bowl of coconut and pop them in a container. Refrigerate or freeze, depending how much of a rush you’re in.
*Wet hands are important! They stop the mixture sticking to them.
They sound so boring but you will get addicted, they are deceptively more-ish, best to consume with others to avoid sole mass consumption.

If I had to have one more sponsor-provided cocktail, witness one more wannabe-model/fashionista-socialite posing like they don’t care (when they do) or talk bullshit to one more person I didn’t give a shit about… I would’ve puked on my shoes and shot someone.

Brenna is completely brilliant and if you’re not facebook friends with her, I think you should have the privilege of reading her insanely hilarious status updates. Above are some of her hits of 2009.
Enjoy!

Hey Bulldog!

This is by far one of my favourite Beatles songs. EVER. PERIOD. I love it when John and Paul go wild at the end.

Oh and when John says “Do you know anymore?”. Sexy. Very. Sexy. Yoko was on to something.

B B Excited!

Bobbi Brown is releasing a new range of kohl pencils in January 2010! Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee! I’ve arranged for Terri (we’re on a first name basis) who works at Bobbi Brown in the Melbourne CBD to call me and tell me when they’re in. Clearly this is another reason why 2010 is going to be a good year!

J'adore Dior.

Talia and I did the obligatory run to Westfield “Shoppo” Shopping Town tonight to find the perfect (and by ‘perfect’ I mean ‘within our budget’) gifts for our respective families.

When in the make up section of David Jones I made a covert mission to douse myself in the beautiful Miss Dior Cherie by Dior. I can still smell it now and perhaps, wont shower tomorrow in order to hold onto the scent for just a moment longer.

It is simply divine and my pick as the fragrance of the Summer. If you’re looking for a good perfume that’s not too heavy, make sure to slide over to your nearest Dior counter and see their range.

Speaking of Dior, Chemist’s Warehouse is selling Dior mascara for $30. 30 CLAMS FOR DIOR!! I have already purchased mine (after I ruined my YSL mascara by accidentally leaving it in the fridge with my other make up during the hot spell in November. NOT HAPPY.) It’s a great mascara with a huge brush and it makes your lashes POP. Now I’m not normally one to use the word ‘pop’ as an adjective, but I have to give credit where credit’s popped.

Jim Reeves
- “The Merry Christmas Polka

This is a touch naughty but here is my Christmas present to you: my favourite Christmas song! Ever! Jim Reeves had the BEST ever Christmas album - it shaped my Christmases, my family never listened to any other carols record & I think that it makes sense - Reevsey nails this shit!
