I came across Jetta while killing time browsing music blogs in the airport. I instantly loved her, smooth voice, brilliant lyrics and versatility. There’s hints of Adele, The XX and Solange but she’s very much got her sound. Originally from Liverpool not surprisingly she now lives in London. She comes from a musical background, her mother director of Liverpool’s Sense of Sound Choir and father … Continue reading Feels Like Coming Home
A couple of days ago we drove out to Tamborine Mountain’s Skywalk. The walk is half an elevated walkway and half through the upper forest to the creek. The elevated section is 30metres high and have superb views of the mountain. My camera does not do them justice. It is designed to showcase the environment without damaging or disturbing it. The section through the forest … Continue reading Put Them in a Tree Museum
I’m not sure how many outfit photos I’ll be posting from Brisbane. Before I arrived I thought I could get loads of cool outfit photos as I wasn’t needing to wear boring workwear most days. Turns out I massively underestimated the heat, 30degrees and rising makes a sweaty Lauren which does not make for good photos. These are some quick photos I took on the … Continue reading Daisy Dukes, Bikini on Top
I meant to post this yesterday in advance of New Year’s Eve, I was a little caught up in airports though and forgot. Oh well today will have to do, it is wed-nails-day after all. At least I think it is, I’ve not quite got my head around the time difference yet! New Years called for sparkles but I wasn’t sure what I would be … Continue reading Black and Gold

I managed to do most of my sale shopping from the comfort on my bed on Boxing Day morning. I knew it was a great idea getting the man a new iPad, I got his old one. I did pop into town briefly and into Gap. I’m so glad I did as I picked up these beauties. I’ve been wanting some coated jeans for a … Continue reading I Say, Take Me Out
The lovely Claire over at TwentySix people sent me this funky sweater. The graphic pattern is super cool and versatile. It great quality for only £26, I went for a large as I wanted mine big and baggy. To show it off properly here’s three different outfits. Paired with thermal leggings and uggs, it’s perfect for winter shopping. The jumper kept me nice and toasty … Continue reading Three Ways to Wear

It’s only two days till Christmas so I had to choose a Christmas song for music Monday. It may not be a new one but it’s my favourite. It’s never been to number 1 but has topped a variety of ‘best of’ lists and broken records for successive top ten entries. It took two years to perfect so it’s not surprising that it’s become a … Continue reading So Happy Christmas
