Ann Margaret - Vintage Vixen & Style Icon with a Side of Elvis

While cooking up a storm in the kitchen this afternoon I could not take my eyes of the telly - Viva Las Vegas was on. I love a good old fashion Elvis movie and must confess my absolute favourite is Fun in Alcapulco (dad and I can watch that one over and over again without ever tiring of it). 

Today though I got to watch this classic and was mesmerised. I love Elvis, always have, always will but in this movie the one who took my breath away was Ann Margaret. Stunningly beautiful with no signs of silicone, a complete natural beauty not often seen on many stars today. I love her sassy, vintage style - just gorgeous.  

Do you agree? Who are your favourite screen sirens? Would love to hear from you xo

GLAMOUR

This reminds me of the Carrie & Big twist scene - LOVE

Would have loved to have danced cheek to cheek with Elvis - yum!

A Sneak Peak at The Carrie Diaries - Sex and the City Prequel

Loving the pics that have surfaced of Bridge to Terabithia actress Anna Sophia Robb playing a young Carrie Bradshaw on the set of Sex and the City prequel.

The 18-year-old will star in The Carrie Diaries, filling the role which led to Sarah Jessica Parker's super-stardom.

I think she fills the shoes well, with her gorgeous blonde locks and killer style - she makes the perfect teen Carrie. Wonder what adventures the movie producers have in store for our favourite style-queen- can't wait for this one!

Love this pic & the shoes!

Rocking SJP's famous locks!

A total Carrie moment, stumbling in her 5inch heels!

The Carrie Bag - sure to become a trend with fashionistas

Hello Again!

Hi guys I know it's been a few weeks since my last post but I've been a little busy visiting our wonderful South West and Victoria.

March is normally an extremly crazy month for me but this year even more so and with that I'll be documenting it all here for you in the coming days.

Things to look out for include my whirlwind visit to the South West region of WA, a foodie extravaganza through Victoria and  an exciting meet and greet with the Domestic Goddess, Nigella Lawson at this year's  Melbourne Food & Wine Festival.

I've also got a bit going on over the next couple of months which I will also fill you in on in the next few days.

Until then here's a little sneak peak of just some of the things I got up to over the last two weeks.

I still keep in touch with Trevor Forster and Justine so if there's anything you would like to ask them please let me know.

Again thanks for following and I hope to continue keeping you all entertained.
