Urban Bloom is bringing sexy back to homes and boardrooms alike in the Brisbane city and surrounding suburban areas; from small arrangements as a beautiful centre piece [...]

HOT – Jan Powers Farmers Markets – Logan Rd, Stones Corner.

By CazM ⋅ September 14, 2011 ⋅ 2 comments

Jan Powers has taken a leap of faith and brought her farmers markets to the quirky Logan Rd strip in Stones Corner – otherwise home to a few hit ‘n miss cafes and clothing shops alike, plenty of empty run down stores and a mish-mash of people from all walks of life. Stones Corner reeks [...]

By CazM ⋅ August 16, 2011 ⋅ Post a comment

Squishy eye balls, phallic imagery, animalistic tendencies….just a few of the key words and imagery that come to mind when I recall my evening at the Surrealism: The Poetry of Dreams exhibition, currently on show at the Gallery of Modern Art. Thanks to Brisbane Marketing, I was given the opportunity to explore and grow the [...]

HOT: The French Corner – 240 Enogerra Rd, Newmarket

By CazM ⋅ November 22, 2010 ⋅ 5 comments

When it comes to interior decorating, I haven’t got a creative bone in my body and am useless at visualising how colours palettes of walls, floors, furniture etc can be harmonious. One thing I know however, is that MM and I are in need of a kick-arse, bold, make-a-statement mirror for the dining room in [...]

HOT: CycleStyle – Stylish clothing and accessories for the urban cyclist

By Jetsetting Joyce ⋅ May 14, 2010 ⋅ Post a comment

I have never written an advertorial on the blog, but in this instance I am going to make an exception. Why?

HOT: The Party Girls, 2/505 Lytton Rd, Morningside

By CazM ⋅ May 3, 2010 ⋅ 2 comments

Everyone knows planning a wedding is an exercise in stress, anxiety and most importantly spending obscene amounts of money. As a clueless bride-to-be, with minimal creativity when it comes to decorating and theming, I was so pleased to stumble across wedding and venue design specialists, The Party Girls. Not only were they the most cost-effective [...]
