Gran to glam: an old dress becomes new again
I twittered a while back about this dress, I wasn't sure whether to alter it in such a way that it would have a low back or a low neckline. ...
July Reading
It's been far too long since I've written about my monthly reading list so as it is the beginning of the month I thought I might kick things off by mentioning what's on for July.
It's my turn in book club to choose a book so in an attempt to pick something no one has yet read I chose M.J. Hyland's 'This is How,' which is on the new release list. I haven't poked my nose inside it as yet but by all accounts it looks fab.
Lady M visits the new Fleur Wood store at GPO
Yesterday I had the pleasure of visiting the new Fleur Wood store at Melbourne's GPO in Bourke St. Fleur was there to help launch the shop and it was over coffee that she explained the new fit out to me.

One night at Cloudland: Chambord Shine Awards Brisbane
As you can already tell from my posts of the last couple of days, Hayley and I had the pleasure of being flown up to Brisbane to attend the Chambord Shine Awards 2010at Cloudland on Tuesday evening.

Flamingos & puppies: Love in the Valley
Before we had to leave Brisbane for home this morning, Hayley and I headed to Flamingo cafe for breaky. If you are familiar with Frankie Mag then you can find a nice little write up in this months edition on page 60.
Anyhow, we'd met plenty of charming locals the night before who said it was the place to have a coffee and it lived up to every expectation that we had.
Subfusco: Part II
So when I said yesterday that I was wearing Subfusco to the event last night I think some of you thought I was going to wear the dress pictured in the previous post. Is she going into space? Is she about to perform surgery? I didn't know Lady M was pregnant!
