We are off to the ‘outlaws’ for Christmas dinner tonight and I’ve selected laid-back Parisian chic over dressing to the nine’s! When I found this dress in Supre last year for $15 and started wearing it I actually had two guys stop me and ask where I’d bought it, saying they wanted to buy one…
It’s party time girls and now’s your chance to dress up in some hot frocks and sizzle through the festive season. I wanted to show you it’s possible to look a million bucks on a tiny budget. This satin and sequinned Garfunkle ruffle dress was a vintage find last year and cost me under $10.…
Oh what a day! If only you could see me now while I’m writing this. I’m in my third and favourite outfit of the day – winter PJs! Not exactly glamorous I know, but we can’t be fashionista divas all the time, can we? Yes I know it’s balmy outside but I’m so worn out…
This dress drove me bonkers today! It kept riding up at the bottom and pulling down at the front so I was constantly adjusting it. It was a mighty Myer bargain last year and it was the dress that taught me an essential lesson – always test drive something properly before you buy it. By…
Do you dress according to how you feel? I was in the mood for jeans today and ended up in my favourite Sass & Bide faux-leather pair. I bought them a couple of years ago from David Jones for $230 and they are more in vogue than ever. I resisted my urge to wear thongs…
Can you think of a better way to brighten a cloudy day than with yellow flowers? This is another vintage ensemble that cost me $10 for the dress and shoes. I was stoked to find these patent, skin-patterned heels, they are bang on-trend with the gold hardware and ankle panel. Supermodel and actress Rosie Huntington…
This entire outfit is ‘vintage’ and cost me $10. That includes Jag jeans and Midas diamante kitten heels! If you don’t know the Midas brand, back when I frequented Chapel Street, the last pair of Midas shoes I bought set me back more than $300. Yes, they are expensive, and yes they are gorgeous. I…
Today’s outfit was spot on (pardon the pun) for such a hot day. Polka dots happen to be hot right now (again) and the broderie anglaise ruffle at the top and hem is very much in vogue. Top international designer Marc Jacobs – at the helm of fashion powerhouse Louis Vuitton – sent models down the…
This is true vintage style. This floral maxi is straight out of the 70s and was handed down from my fashionista mum to her protege, me! It was in perfect condition until my oldest son walked into my wardrobe a couple of years ago with a pair of scissors. In typical testosterone-fuelled style, he sliced…
From now on I’m going to call goodies from the op shop ‘vintage’. It sounds much more polished, and you’ll know exactly what I’m talking about because of the ridiculously low prices. So lets see how we go! I’m in love with these beige lace-up ‘vintage’ booties, which cost $3. I scored these babies and…
