Connor MacLeod

While I sort my pictures of Ines, here is a too cute one of Connor! Great shot - looks like it's an advertisement.

My New Purchase

Nick went out and bought us fancy new cameras. Mine is this one, I love it, so much better than my old one and a great size for everyday, and he got a big fancy one. What does this mean? Lots of pictures of Ines. I'll start a separate blog just for 'all things Ines".

Shawl

I love this scarf/shawl thing. Such a pretty colour for spring and will be good to hide the tum after baby arrives. But, I tend to love these things and never end up wearing them. What's a girl to do??

Pictures for the Nursery

I've been looking around for pictures and I think these are cute. Not sure if they are too subtle for a baby, but rather sweet I think . Having a think.

36hrs in Sydney

See if there is anything new here for the sydney-siders - from NY Times travel section yesterday - article available here

20x200.com

This is a great site for photography that my friend Marcie passed on to me. Basically you can buy photography prints at different sizes and different prices - starting at $20. Some favorites attached. We need to get something quite large for the living room - hopefully it will be one of Nick's photo's otherwise, may do a proper search here. Quite a large collection, but obviously better if they had more!

The Top End

The NY Times travel magazine recently did a feature on the NT. Pretty amazing photos. Would love to see it but think it might be a bit too ' natural' for me. Bugs, heat etc. Just love the idea of it. Unlike anywhere else in the world.

Five

This is my new favorite ice-cream. They only have five ingredients and the passion-fruit flavor (only one I've tried - keep getting the same - is super delicious). Look out for it.

Should I?

I'm always on the hunt for a new baby book to read. What do you think? Should I? This couple are from a train wreck of show that I can't help but watch. The guy - Simon, is Australian.

Connor MacLeod

Here's Connor looking quite the cool cat. Love the little converse shoes and the jacket came from us. Good look Mr MacLeod!

This image is from the J.Crew website. A site and store that Nick and I spend waaay to much time on/in. So pretty and Springlike. Weather getting gorgeous here, although yesterday was freakshow hot, and no fun at all. Better today.

We need more stuff in this apartment like we need a whole in the head, but this seems like a good idea. It's a water bottle with built in filter. Plastic though. We use the steel (or whatever) ones at the moment so we don't waste plastic, but not sure if this is a good idea, or another gimmick (NY water is pretty good although i have been drinking filtered water while preg). Thoughts?

Good for the drivers in Oz

Digital breathalizer. Only $12. Seems like a bargain. Good gift idea.

Nice Idea for a Dinner Party

And Lord knows we usually have enough empty wine bottles lying around (not at the moment of course!) Very atmospheric. Will be stealing this idea, although in reality, probably not the greatest idea for conversations with the person opposite you.
As seen on remodelista - such a good blog.

Hamish & Liam

Lucky boys got a visit from the Easter Bunny - the messy old thing!!! How cute is this - lucky boys - and aren't they growing up. How did you fair this Easter? I got a delicious Green & Blacks Maya Gold chocolate egg - that's dark choc infused with orange and spices. Yum, had a nibble already.

Ants

I found these ants in the Sundance catalogue. They are just decorative, but I reckon they would add a bit of fun to a kitchen. Our current kitchen needs a serious makeover, so when (if!!!) it's all pretty, these could be a fun addition.

While In Gap

Didn't pick up anything from the Stella range (see post below), but got this cute dress when I was in Gap - can't help but buy stuff, sooo many cute things. Very springy I thought - we'll pack it for Oz.

Stella McCartney for Gap

The second collection for Gap Kids just came out. More cute stuff. Worth checking out the site - bit too expensive for baby I think, but a bit better for kids slightly older - at least they get to wear it for a bit longer.
