NAOMI STAYS WARM IN HER DRESSING GOWN

Australian actress, Naomi Watts, was snapped on the beach in her towelling robe. She was taking a break from filming her latest movie, Mother and Son, taking time to play with her own son, Alexander on the beach.

EMPTY NEST SYNDROME

Both my children have left home now, one to be married and one to university and I must say the house seems extremely quiet without them. I once relished in the silence, basking in the hours of glorious relaxation before they both arrived home from school, screaming and shouting at each other, fighting and playing. [...]

HOW TO DRESS LIKE YOUR DAUGHTER AND GET AWAY WITH IT

New York fashion week in February kicked off the spring and summer trends, but some of the season’s hottest looks can be daunting. Neon brights, graphic prints – they look fabulous on supermodels on the catwalk, but they’d look ridiculous on you, right? Wrong. You can wear those tricky trends at any age, just make [...]

Having found the perfect dress and the even more perfect fasinator, all I need now is the right statement necklace. Something not too bling but powerful enough to make an impact. Im the sort of mother [...]

NOTHING BETTER

Called me old fashion but for me theres nothing better than climbing into fresh sheets on a cold winters night, sipping my coco and reading a dam good book (very into Terry Pritchard right now). To add to this delight I love to wrap myself up warm in some luxurious nightwear. Whilst browsing for a [...]

BIRTHDAY CELEBRATIONS

I came across the brilliant site partypop where there was a mixture of 50 year old birthday celebration ideas. Why not theme your birthday party around The Beatles or even a Wild West theme. This adds a little excitment to a birthday that some of us could dread. No doubt after listening to the Beatles [...]
