Tie-dye shorts are all the rage at the moment. Dresses, skirts and tops are also getting the tie-dye treatment. So I was mighty pleased to pick these little shorts up earlier in the year from my favourite Brighton boutique owner for only $20. With the temperature headed for a very summery 34 degrees today I…
It really must be time I went shopping! It’s been ages and I ended up wearing another op shop bargain today. This Lovely Girl dress cost me $5 which is a complete steal given this brand sells in many boutiques for well over $50. I haven’t been to an op shop since we moved out…
I’ve just arrived home from a dynamic two days in Sydney where the girls sure know how to dress! Generally speaking, they are a lot more adventurous than Melburnians, and they work the bright colors and florals brilliantly. The warmer climate is definitely on their side. Determined to show our northern sisters we are no…
What do you think of lemon with cobalt blue? I’ve been wanting to pair the two colors together for a long while. So here they are . . . This sequinned Lovely Girl top garnered plenty of great comments and was a stunning bargain I found while rummaging around in the back of a large…
Started out in this dress today . . . . . . but ended up in this! I enjoyed the warm, sunny morning with a walk and run on a track by the beach. But the weather rapidly deteriorated in the afternoon. Both these dresses are from Valleygirl (no I’m not sponsored by them, but…
Shorts suits are firmly on the fashion radar this spring/summer. A gorgeous pair of shorts with a matching blazer is a terrific alternative to a skirt suit. I haven’t got one to show you yet . . . but I have got a couple of cute summery short-suits I’ll be dragging out. And this tropical…
It’s a very fruity week in fashion around here! We kicked off with my favourite watermelon skirt but I thought it was time to squeeze in some citrus (pardon the pun!). I love this tangerine dress with its ruffles and floaty skirt and it never fails to brighten the day. It’s an oldie but a…
Do you get to Sunday and your tank feels empty? That’s exactly how I felt this morning until I recharged at church. I felt so stuffed I considered wearing a tracksuit and Ugg boots . . . or was I dreaming? Instead, my faux leather Sass & Bide jeans got a workout, together with this…
This has to be my favourite skirt. I love the watermelon color, the knife-edge pleats and the sheer material. I found it in a little shop last year for $20 and it’s never been more on trend than now! Kept the look basic with a white Dotti singlet and matching Nine West heels. The creamy white knit…
Today was a hard slog on just five hours sleep! But there’s nothing like an injection of color to brighten the day . . . And I have to say, you can’t beat make-up, including a serious bit of concealer, to cover up the evidence of a long night. Unfortunately, the sleep deprivation was only…
