The silly season is here.

Well firstly I want to apologise for the lack of posting. Christmas got the better of me and after working something like 15 days in a row up until the night of the 23rd of December, at which point I hadn't bought a single present, I was pretty much exhausted and a little frazzled to tell you the truth!! I feel terrible as I really plan to post regularly with interesting content so that if you are checkin out ma blog you have a little smile on your face, or feel happy/ better because of it. Anyway, not much I can do now but post! So it got to Monday the 24th and I had Mum, dad, my 2 sisters and their partners, my two nieces, my fiancé, his parents and his disabled sister to buy presents for. Uhoh… Somehow I managed to pull it all together without spending too much money (more than I would of liked too after it was all over but that is a habit I don't think I'll ever be able to break) and without being completely thoughtless as I was pressed for time. I am much more efficient under pressure as otherwise I am amazing at procrastinating! Also, I have a habit of wanting to spend every single cent in my bank account on presents and since I am about to go on a 2 week holiday to Yamba, I had to make sure I left some cash for living and food etc.. My goal for the new year is to be able to budget. I am so happy that one of my presents from my family was this super cute diary from Typo. I shall endeavour to use it every day to stay organised and on top of things! I am always getting into things like exercise for a few months at a time, then completely the opposite for a few months… I am like a roller coaster and next year I plan to start something and stick to it throughout the year. Like exercising 3 times a weeks all year, instead of every day for a few months, then not at all. Anyway, getting side-tracked (another habit of mine!) So another New Year resolution is to post more. I'd like to make an effort to post more about my life, interests, outfits and more. I am looking into jewellery courses as I want to start a label and plan to share my growth as a jeweller with my followers :) Hopefully one day I will have my own successful label and everyone reading my blog will be the first to find out information on it. Very excited!! So 2013 is all about getting fit, being healthy, happy, organised and to SAVE, SAVE and SAVE!! Oh, and to quit smoking.. I really want to but have so far found that one hard. Anyway, all I can do is try…. So to all of you out there reading this I wish you all a very MERRY CHRISTMAS and hope you all have a happy NEW YEAR. May we all have good luck and health in the new year :) Also looking forward to my role as an LMFF devotee for the festival in March. I can't wait to be amongst it all and share photos and information with you all! Both my sisters Alice McCall and Bird (Bridget and Nick) from Life with Bird are apart of the festival as well so it will be great to support them! So better get to bed now.. nearly 2am and I have to work tomorrow… eeeeeek! Love to you all xxxx (PS I included a photo of my new diary cause it's a goodie and I recommend getting one if you are on the hunt for one for 2013.. The colour in the photo doesn't do it justice.. it's much more nicer in real life… Just sayin ;)….) Fenji xxx

Life with Bird, Hawksburn.

So tonight was the official opening of my sisters fifth store in Hawskburn Village, Melbourne.  It is such a beautiful store which Bird and Nick pretty much designed and built themselves (pretty impressive!). Fitted with what looks to be unfinished wood work, white walls and diagonal white cement boxes/ stands, the store is very minimal and fresh, which I personally love as the clothes come to life against the stark contrasting background. I took a couple of photos to share with you all while I was browsing around looking at all the beautiful clothes. The current collection is amazing and I have to say each time round, Bridget and Nick's designs seem to just get better and better! Definitely a little bit proud :) Anyway, hope you enjoy the photos below (and pop into one of the stores if your planning a shopping day- you won't be disappointed!) xx

My Sister. Sunday Life Cover. 16.09.12.

So I open up The Age today and I see my beautiful sister Alice on the cover of the 'Sunday Life' supplement. Looking beautiful as ever, I suspected the photo was taken just after giving birth. However, after speaking with Al she tells me she was 8 months pregnant!! Wow, I never thought looking like that while preggers was possible :) Anyway, I took photos below to share with you. Hopefully you can read the interview and hope you like!! The second photo is of her label, the model wears the 'Felix' top for $199 and 'Arthur' shorts for $259.
The article is based on designers making Bali there second home and you can understand why!! What a beautiful country and it's only five and a half hours away!!
