Frocktober

Today Im over at Clairey's blog helping out with her Frocktober challenge!

Thanks for having me Clairey  - it was fun to dress up for such a great cause and I do love to wear dresses so I might give it a go next year...but I don't think I'll be cutting it as a fashion blogger anytime soon...hard work!

Have a great week ahead dear friends!

For more Frocktober fun - Lexi is also taking up the Frocktober challenge as is Viv  and Daniella is drawing her frocks for her challenge - you can download them to dress the paperdoll! (very clever)
and Natalie is mixing her frocks with cocktails for Frocktails!

Well, it's winter in Australia and absolutely freezing cold (at least in the south). Actually, it's meant to be the coldest winter we've had in decades. Now,I know the phrase "Australian winter" might seem like an oxymoron but this year is expected to be the coldest winter that we've had in decades meaning it will be the best one yet!

I say "best one yet" with lots of excitement because I, and my lovely family simply adore winter. We love the snuggling, the layers of blankets and reading in bed. I spend hours (truely) redecorating my house for winter but most of my time is spent in the bedroom...decorating it. I love warm colours, deep reds and pinks, all delicious and enveloping. I love cushions and quilts, so pretty and cosy. I love garlands and lamps, OH the lamps! GAH! So much gorgeousness!

So, here are some of my favourite winter decorating inspiration photos.
