About

Welcome to my site.

If you love interiors, home building journeys, beautiful homewares, DIY, shopping & of course, fabulous Stilettos, you have come to the right place.

I’m Em Pearman, the face behind Stilettos & Bricks. I’m a “thirty something” year old, full time product stylist, content creator & social media influencer, with an unhealthy addiction to caffeine, designer handbags & shoes!

I live for interiors & can literally spend hours touring display homes, strolling through furniture & homewares stores, discovering new products & keeping up with the latest design trends.

I am also a self confessed beauty lover, with a shamelessly embarrassing collection of makeup & skincare……..let’s just say, I have no intention of growing old gracefully.

I was born in Tasmania & as my Dad was in the RAAF, we moved alot during my early childhood, finally settled in Perth, Western Australia, where I still reside today.

I live with my amazing hubby Adam, our gorgeous 11 year old daughter Ava & our two very spoilt cats, Walter & Wong.

We are currently embarking on designing & building our dream home on the beach, so stick around, read my blog & subscribe to be inspired by the lastest trends, products & handy tips, as well as enjoy a few laughs along the way.

A few fun facts about me……

• I’m a hairdresser by trade, a beauty therapist & makeup artist

• After being a stay at home mum for several years, I decided on a career change & completed several online interior & home stages courses, as well as volunteering with a home staging business to gain extra experience.

• In my spare time I love to spend time with my family & friends, go shopping, read interior / fashion magazines & watch makeup tutorials on YouTube.

• My ideal way to relax is to have a day of pampering at a spa or salon.

• We love to travel & experience different cultures, food & meet new people.

I look forward to sharing my loves, favorite products, latest finds, tips, tricks & insights into my fun Stilettos & Bricks life.

Be sure to clink the links below to follow my Social channels & don’t forget to subscribe to my email alerts, I promise I won’t bombard or bore you.

Thanks so much for stopping by.

Love Em xxx

Today I sat down & did our online grocery order, I will confess Ad's normally does it as I have a slight tendency to "over shop" 🙈 #shockingiknow 😂
Feeling super proud of myself I rang Hubby & told him how well I had done, he laughed & asked how much money I dropped, "I spent $431.00 but I saved 10% using a Woolworths discount code" (my diploma in shopping always comes in handy) 👌😂 He just laughed again & said "you're so pretty babe" 🤷‍♀️
So I have to ask, how much does your family spend on groceries a week? #askingforafriend .

We're so impressed with our @samsungau Side by Side Fridge. It's matte finish & modern, sleek design compliments the look of the new kitchen perfectly.
Offering more space inside while keeping the same width on the outside Samsung have mastered the art of Space Saving 🙌 #veryclever #SamsungSBS #SamsungHome

Happy Monday Lovelies ❤
After six weeks of working from home Ad's has gone back to "real" office life today. While it was great having him home, it is nice to see a small return to our "normal" way of living. #beforecorona
As for me, I'm looking forward to finally catching up with Zoe @thediydecorator for coffee & showing her the house, the last time she saw it was straight after the tenants moved out 🙈 #rememberthathorror Then I'll be working on the design of the new laundry. #watchthisspace .

Another job ticked off the list 🙌 The linen cup

Another job ticked off the list 🙌 The linen cupboards are unpacked & neatly organised.
I used these gorgeous stackable black & wood baskets from @targetaus & white cube boxes from @ikea_australia to store the items we regularly use. I also have 2 large rectangle blanket boxes on the bottom shelf to store my throws & cushions.
Linen Cupboard Tip - to keep my Linen smelling amazing & fresh I always place a reed diffuser in my cupboards.

When I designed our new kitchen layout my main priority was ensuring we had plenty of practical storage. I opted for pull out drawers to store our cups, glasses, dinnerwear, pots / pans, food containers & cutlery, I've always found drawers easier to organise & tidy compared to standard kitchen cupboards.
Tip - I use these handy adjustable plate stands from @ikea_australia for our dinnerwear.
What's your personal preference Drawers or Cupboards? .

We officially moved yesterday & I must say, moving house really does suck! 😫 Thankfully I'm making way through unpacking all of the boxes & the house is starting to resemble a home, not a warehouse 😂 #somanyboxes .........I'm really looking forward to an early night tonight 😴

Sunday Selfcare ❤
I've recently incorporated @loccitaneaus Immortelle Reset Overnight Reset Oil-in-Serum & Eye Serum into my evening skincare routine & so far I'm really impressed with the results.
One week in & my skin already looks brighter & more luminous.
The serum applies beautifully & leaves my skin feeling refreshed & hydrated.
Let's also take a moment to crush over these stunning bottles #sochic
Do you use a night serum in your skincare routine?

It's certainly been a different Easter for us all

It's certainly been a different Easter for us all this year.
Normally we would be enjoying a fun filled day of celebrations at my Mum & Stepdad's place with the whole Family, laughing & eating to much food.
Not being able to do these things at the moment certainly makes you appreciate them so much more, doesn't it?
From my Family to yours, Happy Easter ❤
