Secrets!

Real Living '5 secrets' page - Photo by Tim James. Double click for a larger view.

Ohhh I'm blushing as I post this... but thought I should share... This is me in Real Living magazine's April issue (out today)! Their regular '5 secrets' section is all about trade secrets.... so this is a bit of a round-up of things I've learnt in my wacky job. Nothing ground breaking really, but you know - it was fun! Hee! :) Also featured are my fave vintage Eames dining chairs, an oversized toadstool (which you can hire from The Prop Store in Melbourne next time you have a party!), and my trusty cordless drill.

Thanks to the beautiful Nina M for her personal styling / clothes lending services before this shoot! Thanks also to Clair Wayman and co for calming my nerves and making the shoot relaxed and super-fun!

In real life I don't have cross-eyes. At least, I don't think I do...?

  1. You look great Lucy - not cross-eyed at all!

    As an aside I love the verification words when posting a blog comment. Mine was: hawbonsh

  3. Woo hoo, You're a star. Must go and nab myself a copy. And honey, you obviously weren't a Brownie. I can track down a whole forest of mushrooms anytime you like. Trust me.

    Lesssk! Thankyou sweet lady! I have been blushing all day! hee hee.

    Katiecracketnuts - I was the best little brownie! I had so many badges! But I have no mushroom-hunting skills I'm afraid. Except for the 80cm tall, paper-mache variety ;)

    PinkuRocks - KAT I am so excited you are reading! do you know YOURS was the first blog I ever fell in love with 100 years ago :) that was waaay before your got hitched and had your gorgeous little Jake. gush gush. You are my blogging hero. You still moving to Melbourne?

    Lee - Thanks so much! They edited what I had to say quite a lot... I hope it sounds ok!?

    Projectivist - Yes Real Living is so refreshing isn't it! Everything just seems so accessible and affordable... although I always have time for daydreaming with Vogue Living / Belle etc... and yes, April - JEEPERS!

  11. Awwww more blushing and more thankyous... Thanks so much guys!

    Shelley - Thanks so much for your sweet compliment :) Real Living is an odd one... it can be little cheesy at times, and yet, I always find myself buying and enjoying it each month...! I think it's because all the homes and products they feature are so accessible.. :)

    JU! - what a ridiculously awesome compliment! ha! Thanks lady! No no, no one wants to be me..! I spend all my social life blogging! Very boring. Just ask my boyfriend. ;)

    Victoria! - Thanks for the sweet words! been thinking of you.. I have to return your book! See you soon perhaps...? Hope all is well :)
