Instagram post 2199388579852247119_870076358 I loved wearing this pretty pomegranate dress from @nancybirddesign today, which paired beautifully with my leather tassel earrings and my suede heels from @boden_clothing. We also had plenty of outtakes and shenanigans as you can see ... is my 13 year old actually taller than me or is that slight difference just all hair? And is @darrenrowse on tippie toes 🤔 #outtakes #highhair #outfitoftheday #outfit #everydaystyle #nancybird #melbournedesign
Instagram post 2199384576884020785_870076358 I do ❤️ a Christmas 🎄 table setting 🍽 My latest addition to my stash are these table Christmas trees from @kmartaus (2 for $8). I’m a bit obsessed with these blue glasses from @ikea_australia too! What’s your Christmas colour scheme this year? #entertaining #christmastablesetting #christmastablescape #christmas

Instagram post 2199163685231385576_870076358 We’re hosting a family Christmas dinner today so I’m busily prepping 👩🏼‍🍳 and enjoying our new kitchen 🥣 So far I’ve made a roast cauliflower and fennel salad (it just needs goats cheese and a drizzle of sherry vinegar and olive oil) and my favourite spiced plum sauce from @donnahaymagazine. Roast pork, roast spuds and mixed pea salad are up next and I’ve outsourced a roast pumpkin dish and dessert to family members. Hoping it’s a good test run for Christmas Day lunch which I’m also hosting. Have you got a Christmas do on this weekend? What’s your favourite dish to serve/bring/eat? #christmasdinner #christmaslunch #entertaining #salad #saladsofinstagram #christmas2019
