From broken engagements and stolen cars to demit point investigations and arrangements with paparazzi - Lara Bingle has come out the other end and put her hat firmly back on her head.
In her first interview in months, the human headline sat down with Confidential today to acknowledge the "really good place" she has put herself in following a recent trip to LA.
Bingle was also quick to quash rumours she was seeing recently-dumped Rooster Todd Carney.
"That’s not true. We use the same coach. I've been sprinting a lot and sometimes we run into each other. That’s it."
Revealing she started the year with a wish list, boxes are slowly being ticked off at brand Bingle headquarters.
"I'm surrounded by really good people at the moment and I'm really happy where things are going … it feels like I'm never not working," she said.
"It’s a really good place to be. I feel blessed."
Of all the business ventures Bingle has been busying herself with - including a self-designed sunglasses range - the 24-year-old remains unsure about a reality series that would put her life under the microscope.
“I’ve had a lot of offers over the years (to do a show) and we did film a pilot earlier this year, but I’m just not sure yet,” she said.
“So much of my life is lived in full public view and you’ve got to make sure there are parts of it to keep to yourself.”
Speaking of, any private relationships to speak of?
“No, its just me and my bestfriend Max (May) and my manager Hermoine (Underwood). No one at the moment.”
Having flown under the social radar of late, Bingle will return to the party circuit this weekend by being the special guest at Epsom Super Saturday at Royal Randwick.
“It’s a good excuse to put on a nice dress. Or a suit. I love a suit,” she laughed.
