A colourful coat has high impact and is a terrific way to brighten up a dull winter. This fuchsia pink wool coat is not only warm it brings an outfit to life. Bold coloured coats have been in the fashion spotlight for a while but now designers are playing with voluminous coats and oversizing everything.…
The return of the peplum has been nothing short of sensational. It has reached saturation point in the high end magazines and is now filtering into our shops. I have been looking for a white peplum jacket for a year and have so far come home empty-handed. Here’s a few peplum goodies to whet your…
This is one way of jazzing up a check shirt! A Big W bargain, this cotton check shirt has silver through it so I teamed it with this Valleygirl silver skirt ($10 on sale). Sheer stockings are a must for the cooler weather. Polish the look with black patent pumps. “Be exalted, O God, above…
It’s great fun mixing different textures and velvet and fur are no exception. Cosy and rich for winter I was snug all day long in this. With longer skirts the look du jour I pulled out this crushed velvet, multi-tiered skirt, which has been taking a back seat in my wardrobe for many years! The…
I rocked this shiny little number to church and back on Sunday. And it was very fitting given our awesome worship team makes it more like a rock concert!

I just love this green! And the mixture of silk and sequins lights my fire at the moment. The lace trim detail is so feminine on this top, which has been a staple in my wardrobe for a couple of years. I’ve polished the look with leather-look leggings and black velvet ruched heels. The black…
Now is the time to shop girls! There are true sales on everywhere and bargains to be found. At Diva I found a wall of costume jewellery with nothing over $6. Some of these pieces were $25 before the sale started. These big gold hoop earrings were $4; the copper bangle was $3 from Angel…
A maxi dress is a must! This vintage beauty came straight out of the 60s and from Mum’s burgeoning collection. I wore it to a friend’s birthday party a couple of years ago when maxis were not around (it takes a brave soul to make such a move!). Several months later, they were everywhere and…
