About

Hello, I’m Carla and I live in Melbourne, Australia with my husband, Adrian and daughter, Sofia.

I started this blog a few years back as a creative outlet to share the things I like - recipes, fashion, home inspiration, DIY, mood boards and anything else that took my fancy. I stopped blogging for a year or so when I lost my father as I didn’t have the time, nor the inspiration, however lately, whilst on maternity leave I’ve felt like I’m back in the headspace to start again, so here I am.

So if you’re reading my blog, thank you! I will try to create posts I’d enjoy reading but there may also be lots of daily ramblings. If you’re interested, a little slice of additional information about me:

I like:

Heels, leopard print, fresh flowers, summer, weddings, Paris, still-life paintings, tanned skin, Christmas, dresses, textured fabrics, blue cheese, a negroni (or two), cashmere, ginger jars, tapas, champagne, vintage crystal glasses, dark chocolate, red wine, cushions, chocolate, period homes, lazy Sundays in bed, baking, poached eggs

I don't like:

Rude people, bad manners, scuffed shoes, ill fitting suits on men, terribly fake lash extensions, washing my hair
