The verdict for Sex and the City 2:

1. fabulous fashion - TICK
2. fantastical opulence - TICK
3. dramatic hyper beautiful scenery - TICK
4. girl power (the "I am woman" karaoke scene seemed to be quite well rehearsed but roused it's intended female camaraderie ambience in the audience) - TICK
5. Men. I mean seriously, bring on Aidan and Lawrence of Arabia - TICK
6. character development - TICK

The downside, and yes sorry people, there is a downside to our fave foursome's latest exploits, is that in some parts its almost a little cringeworthy in terms of cultural sensitivity. I realise its about having a laugh, having lots of sex and having everyone knowing about it all the time. Though I can't help but wonder if this storyline glides a little too close to the razor sharp edge of the conservative Arabian nations' saif. Maybe I'm just jealous because I want an all expenses paid Abu Dhabi trip surrounded by obscene wealth and three besties to share it with...

Still, it was enjoyable and worth the two hours spent traversing on a magic carpet ride in a parallel universe.
Go and see it.

Sex and the City 2 GIRL DATE

You read correctly! I already have a Girl date happening this Wednesday with a group of fabtastic gals. Sex and the City 2 frockbuster screening and dinner beforehand with the Green Goddess to get our fashion fix. Ask and ye shall receive amen.

This dress is fucking amazing. Since I don't have the budget to afford the real deal I'm going to dust off the old sewing machine and attempt to recreate it. I know my recent Choo purchase would team up a treat with something similar to this.

Tragically I don't even know who designed it!

Cat Hammill Necklace

A few weeks ago I was shopping in Paddington, along the tiny workers cottage conversions that hold amazing little original gems in a style that is uniquely Australian.

On this journey a gorgeous necklace jumped out at me that I just had to have! It has a rosary bead style and reminds me of the wonderful stirling silver french jewellery I stumbled upon in a little store called Aime in Notting Hill, London.

The inscriptions on the two medallions are "Strength, Peace, Love, Hope, Dream, Free and Luck" and are strung together on a chain of red wooden beads. Red is the colour of your "base" or "root" chakra which relates to the degree to which we feel connected to the earth or are grounded in our activities (more on that to come!). So not only do I love the look of this necklace, but the symbolism is really appealing as it stands for the things I am working on right now and the feelings I want more of!

The designer is Cat Hammill and I loved my medallion necklace so much I had to share her amazing jewellery with you!
