Get Into The Groove...

Nothing is better than a night out with your best girlfriends. However, aside from the actual 'going out,' there is something I find uniquely special about the time just before you set foot in the taxi. From prepping each others hair, to borrowing mascara, I firmly believe that singing along to a playlist of songs is mandatory in the 'getting ready' phase. Here are a few to get you revved up for that night out. Hairbrush optional.

'Get Shaky'- Ian Carey Project
"baby get shaky after school...oohhhh.."
We don't know what it's supposed to mean, but once you start singing, you don't really care.

'Love is a Battlefield'- Pat Benatar
"We are young, heartache to heartache"
Takes you back to a simpler time of leg warmers and too much hairspray.

'I Gotta Feeling'- Black Eyed Peas
"That tonight's gonna be a good night"
Pretty self-explanatory...

'Dance the Way I Feel'- Ou Est La Swimming Pool
"Stop breathing. Imagine none of this is real. Well I just dance the way I feel."
Good friends will never judge you on your bad dancing. Great friends will join in with the worm.

Cuff It Up

The cuff adds an edgy look to any outfit. These ones are an assortment of my latest obsessions and will work with anything from an off the shoulder black shirt to a floaty feminine cream dress. Very chic. Very versatile. Very needed in my jewellery collection- right now!

High Tea with High Society

Today I went to High Tea with a small group of my closest friends at Joseph Alexanders. Nestled on the corner of Park Road and Coronation Drive, it offers sweeping views of the Brisbane River. The food was scrumptious, with a special mention going to the smoked salmon, philadelphia cheese and cucumber sandwiches and the tiny fruit tarts adorned with forest berries. Amid seven hectic schedules, sometimes it's nice to take two hours to relax, soak up the city's view and enjoy some great company and delicious food. Whilst my girlfriends may not officially be recognised as high society, they are top of the list in my books!
