JANUARY JOURNEY

 

Hello from sunny Australia, land of the tall gum trees...

and where we like to watch the Golden Globes just to make sure these ladies turn up:

Australia's own Nicole Kidman, resplendent in shimmering silver..

and Cate Blanchett, sparkling in gold..

In fact, there was a lot of gold, which has become the neutral of the day..

Elegance in light gold...

Loved the drama and the draping in this one..

A Dior, 50s vibe in very dark gold...

Loved Demi Moore's very sculptural gown, metallic but difficult to work out the colour..

Angelina Jolie went the silver/gray route.  

Looking forward to seeing her movie as Maria Callas..

Cynthia Erivo in a most unusual Louis Vuitton which reminds me of Spanish Court gowns from 500 years ago...

When everyone is doing metallics and neutral, someone needs to push against the trend:

Emma Stone was stunning in strapless red, 

with an elegant tailored red satin belt:

I used to make myself belts like that... a very long time ago!

Her cute Pixie cut makes me feel better about the slightly too short hair cut I had today...

With all this gold going on, here is the gold bag I received for Christmas, and some Summer sandals I bought to blend with it...

After recent rains and a quick flood, our local creek is clean and sparkling once more..

ready for me to enjoy on my daily walk...

My favourite local horses send their regards.

I was going through old photos before Christmas, and found a rare one of myself riding a horse, aged about 14:

I am with my cousin, at their farm.  How long ago it was, and how fearless I was back then!

Have a great week
