I wouldn't want to put a break in the cupcake-a-thon so today I thought I would take you back to Cristina Re, Where a Girl Goes. This is one of the most delightfully girly shops/cafes I have ever walked into.
In the original post HERE I spoke about the cupcakes and macrons but only glanced over the fun sounding classes they have on offer. Perhaps while delighting in cupcakes you could take one of the Cristina Re workshops-

This is one of those places where you almost want to pinch yourself as you walk in. It's exactly how a cafe selling sweet cakes should look. Exactly.

With all the build up to the big day (Tomorrow, Blogopolis) I have spent ages trying to work out what to wear. Yes, silly and girly I know. But these things are important. At least in my head.
If I wear the wrong thing will I be ostracized? Become twitter fodder quicker than my foot steps in the door? So in an effort to prevent this being my fate I headed off to my beloved Bourke St Mall. Zara looked good but was still really busy and nothing was quite just what I wanted. David Jones was really

I am preparing for my Christmas in July party!! Now, some of you may roll your eyes at my mid year enthusiasm but for me I love the chance to get a dose of the holiday season in the middle of the year. It is one of my obsessions after all...I will be perfectly honest and admit I have never been to or hosted a Christmas in July party before and I keep realizing there are lots of things I hadn't thought of yet. While I have found a few stores have small Christmas supplies available (generally at inflated
