Laura's Can Too Ocean Swim 2011

stairway to ...

Continuing on with the Susie homemaker theme, I mentioned in an earlier post that I had a story about my staircase and here it is. These babies when we first bought our house were painted white with carpet stoops and were looking very sorry for themselves.
I poured three whole months of solid weekends, sanding these guys back covered in old paint and a dust mask expelling every bit of elbow grease given to me to reveal their true beauty and now I gaze at them with love in my heart and with polish on my nails again.

A few lovely home items on my christmas wish list. Beautiful bowls, fun wine bottle tea lights, and Missoni madness hand towel all from safariliving.com a very cool online homewares shop I have only recently discovered. And anyone who knows me understands how important having a Glasshouse triple scented burning at all times is to me...total bliss.

FIXIE

Brrrrrrrnnnnng Brrrrrrrnggggggggg !! The Fixie! Bought a hunk of junk. Unwanted. Unloved. However underneath the tacky Coles basket and taped dynamo lies a classic vintage chrome beauty. Pride & Joy. Ozzie icon The Malvern Star. The Fixie called “Isabella”  (Yes that was necessary) Stripped back to her bare naked self the way nature intended. Gears on a fixie? Pfffft who would do such a thing. The past criminal owner installed gears on her. Criminal ! A Fixie is called that for a reason ! So no gears, white wall tyres and back pedal brakes later here she shines. Yeah had to install the really annoying get of my way bell.  So she cant be ridden up hills or any slight incline for that matter. She cant be ridden down hill coz I ended up forcing us into a construction fence to stop. (No pride hurt no one was around). Whats the point you say? Its all the point! shes hot, vintage and guaranteed to always be my drunken ride home.

happy feet

Now I know I'm not breaking any new ground when I say I love the look of a skyrocket heel on but my feet do not share my enthusiasm. I look at girls who wear heels all day every day in awe and think that their feet must be better friends with them than mine are to me.
But alas I have just been introduced to a new Sydney shoe label called KeilanaSkye Industries who have made some seriously amazing heels AND have designed them with 2 purposes in mind 1. looking great and 2. being comfortable!! Hello happy happy feet!
These pics are some of my faves from their beautiful range and you can check out the whole collection here.
I think it's time my feet started liking me a little more.
