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

If someone had said to me a few months ago, "Ok Em

If someone had said to me a few months ago, "Ok Em, you can just stay home, do anything you like & you don't have to go anywhere" I probably would have thrown my bra in the air & jumped at the change quicker than you could say "you don't have to ask me twice" 🙋‍♀️..........now, watching this terrible nightmare unfold, the saying "be careful what you wish for" comes to mind.
This is by far our biggest test & in terms of team work, every last one of us has a responsibility & role to play. My role is to simply stay home & keep my family safe, by doing this, I'm also helping to keep your family safe too.
So if your role is like mine, to Just Stay Home, I thankyou for taking your responsibility seriously & helping to keep those I love safe too ❤ #weareinthistogether #teamwork .

Try to be strong & please remember that things will get better. It may be stormy now, but it never rains forever.

With ingredients like Apricot Kernel Oil, Avocado

With ingredients like Apricot Kernel Oil, Avocado Oil, Vitamin E & Squalane @kiehls.au Ultra Facial Toner is proving to be a favorite new addition to my skincare routine.
Carefully formulated not to strip or over dry our skin of natural oils, the pH balanced, alcohol free, toner will gently remove surface debris, help refine your skins texture & best of all, it's suitable for all skin types.
After cleansing, moisten a cotton pad with the toner & apply to your face, avoiding the eye area.
Stay tuned for my full review of the Kiehls range xxx

I had planned on taking over the World today, but then I slept in..........🤦‍♀️ #postponedagain
Is it just me or is anyone else feeling extra exhausted lately? #mybediscallingme 🥱

Another huge weekend of renovations #renolife 🔨

Another huge weekend of renovations #renolife 🔨
The boys installed the 3 metre support beam into the roof, demolished the old kitchen walls, then erected the new framework, insulated & put up the gyprock ready for the new @kaboodlekitchen to go in.
Lots of new stories have been added to my Reno Highlights if you'd like to check out the progress 🙌 .

We all know that I'm a tad obsessed with Beauty &

We all know that I'm a tad obsessed with Beauty & Makeup products, we also know I'm super fussy & it takes alot to impress me. 🥱
When I received the Echo Sonic Makeup Brush from @spasciences to test drive, I was sceptical! Could this cute, pink vibrating tool be as good as it sounded?
My usual makeup routine of priming, foundation, concealing, setting, contouring & blending is my daily cardio, I'll admit, I can take a good 30 minutes to get my base just right. #onfleek
Using the Echo to apply my foundation, I was shocked. It blended perfectly, I had no issue with unwanted texture or brush marks. Contouring was a dream, I simply increased the speed setting by 1, & again, the ease of blending was incredible & so fast. • Pros •
1. The Echo features 3 speed settings for customised application
2. It's cord free & rechargeable
3. The detachable brush head makes cleaning super easy
4. It gives your makeup that soft, airbrushed look without having to work up a sweat blending.
5. I also have noticed it has had a significant difference in hiding my pores & smoothing my "laugh lines"
6. Can be used with liquid, powder & cream based products
7. It's super affordable • Cons •
1. Using it to apply my loose setting powder, I found it wasted alot of product because of the vibrating head, powder flew everywhere.
2. I wish it came with smaller attachment heads to use for nose contouring & highlighter, ok, I know I'm being picky 🙈
3. If you're in Australia, expect to wait a little for shipping from the US.
All in all, I'm sold & hopefully the Echo will help me from always being late #timesaver

Cats sleep an average of 15 to 20 hours a day & Walter is certainly no exception to this #whatalife
Every night however, without fail, he has a sudden burst of energy & frantically runs laps around the house, sliding across the floors........... resulting in the occasional plant casualty! 🚑
Thank goodness for the Dyson V11 Absolute Pro 🙌
It's ability to quickly & easily clean up the mess, calms Walter & I both down.

Once upon a time there was a handsome Prince, that would do anything to put a smile on his Queen's face. 👑
Knowing how much his Queen hated the wicked, old & evil kitchen, that was damaged beyond repair, the handsome Prince took out his powerful, mighty sledgehammer & destroyed every inch of it, making his Queen very happy ❤
#doesntgetmoreromanticthanthis #heknowsthewaytomyheart
The Handsome Prince knows he will be greatly rewarded 😘
Head to my stories from today to see the huge transformation 🙌 .

I'm feeling much more enthusiastic & organised tod

I'm feeling much more enthusiastic & organised today about the Secret Harbour Renovation Project, note the new name change 🏠, no longer shall it be known as the "House the Tenants Trashed" 🏚 #movingforward
The @kaboodlekitchen cupboards & benchtops have been ordered & I've picked the most fabulous matt black pull tab kitchen handles from @handlehouseandthings
#cantwaittoshowyou 🖤
Next on our To Do List is for me to decide, commit, stop procrastinating & order the tapwear & sink, while Ad's gets down & dirty with a sledge hammer & creates his magic reconfiguring of the walls.
It's a long weekend here in Perth & that means a full 3 days of Reno progress ahead

Our Renovation on the "the house the Tenants trash

Our Renovation on the "the house the Tenants trashed" #ireallyneedanewnameforit 🙈 is in full swing.
The slate floors are gone, honestly I've never felt so sorry for my Hubby @pearmanadam #worstjobever , the broken bathroom vanity has been removed, carpets are up & the kitchen demo has begun 🙌
I have saved the entire journey to date in my highlights, under Reno 1 & Reno 2 if you'd like to take a look & have a laugh at my technical terms for everything 😂
Now, I have to stop procrastinating & decide on a new vanity for the bathroom #livinginaworldofpureprocrastination but before I do, I wanted to give a huge, massive thankyou to my incredible Stepdad Lou for all of his help, my Gorgeous Mum, as well as Mell & Kenny @mykindofbliss for their amazing #youcandoit advice & to all of you for your kind, beautiful messages ❤ We truly appreciate it xxx

Like the movie, The Secret Life of Pets, I sometimes wonder what Walter is thinking? 🤷‍♀️
Possibly "how much energy would it require for me to knock that pot off that stand?" then again, knowing Walter's personality, he's most likely thinking "I really need to start invoicing her for my photogenic beauty & charm" #suchadiva 👑
