Montage Of A Million Memories

Hello Stylistas!  It’s with great sadness and regret that I’ve been a little scarce on here of late…  I hope you missed me though, because I certainly missed you all!

I hate to admit it but I had been preoccupied with the likes of Instagram, Pinterest, Words and well, generally technology aside from my Mac Book Air… Not only that, but I’ve been baking and cooking lots of delicious foods, entertaining good friends and antiquing quite frequently for my single most favourite hobby; interior designing.

Now that I’ve confessed to that (phew), I guess you have every right to see just what’s been happening in The Fashion Catalyst‘s life over the last few months – so first and foremost:

I’ve uploaded this cool “Instagrammy” Competition, to none other than Instagram, where you have the chance to win a stunning Yves Saint Laurent bracelet valued at over $350.  I guess it’s my way of saying sorry for my absence and to let you all know just how much I missed you and how special you all are to me! If you haven’t entered then head on over to our Facebook page and click to it.

Then there’s been the up keep of general beauty regimes like Chanel manicures (thank goodness for the genius who invented the ever-so-pretty Chanel!):

Getting pampered by the hair magicians at the Maurice Meade hair salon:

From an ugly duckling into a beautiful swan:

Seriously, Maurice Meade is now called ‘Heaven on Earth’, to go in looking and feeling like a battered duckling then bouncing out feeling like I’m ready for the runway, ’tis one of the greatest gifts a woman could ever receive!

Then there’s been the relaxation:

Watching sunsets with soul sisters:

 

Enjoying some much needed Yoga:

Swanning about Perth city and site seeing at Kings Park:

Touring hotspots like the Fremantle Prison:

And the Perth Museum:

Baking scones (in 40 degree heat) to share with those I treasure:

Celebrating life and love:

Bringing in the New Year with French champagne:

And sparklers with confetti confessions:

As we ate our last meal for 2011:

And reminisced over a year full of happiness, beauty and adventure:

Before engaging in some gardening:

And interior designing:

Antiquing:

And collecting:

Photographing:

Styling:

Window admiring:

And smiling:)))

As life unfolded into a beautiful flower!

This summer has been the summer of my life!  Relaxing:

And enjoying fine food with fine folks and family:

And a montage of a million memories:

Bisous, The Fashion Catalyst…I’m back!
