This look is oh, so Chanel but without the pricetag! I borrowed some inspiration from the iconic Karl Lagerfeld but I don’t think he’d be impressed with the jeans. I found these ripped-up Raw Blue denim skinnies at the op shop. Ripped jeans are all the rage but expect to pay hundreds for high-end labels.…
Australian and international designers are playing with hemlines and I’m loving it. Some of the tricks of the trade include slashing skirts thigh-high, inserting double splits and cutting in groovy angles. So it was with great delight I found this cobalt blue skirt at the op shop for a few dollars last week. The angular…
This was a bit exuberant for school pick-up but I hardly had time to think about it. All I knew is I wanted to wear this Maxim skater skirt with its groovy pattern, high waist and twin zips at the front. I honed in on the Target strappy sandals then found this cropped, sequinned singlet…
Check out these new babies girls! Found them last week in the op shop and they couldn’t be more on trend. Aside from never being worn (until now!) the gorgeous satin straps are the colour du jour for 2013. You will start to see everything in this striking shade, from shoes and bags to clothes…
I thought I’d end the week with a very funny story about this dress. I went into labour the last time I wore it! We’re talking more than eight years ago. My belly was huge, my ankles swollen and our first son wasn’t due for two-and-a-half weeks, but in the middle of our friends’ wedding…
I promised you a peek at last night’s sequinned outfit . . . so here it is! I almost toppled into the pool trying to take these photos on my tripod today. I think it was a combination of the killer heels and lack of sleep. We had an amazing girls’ night and I crawled…
Playing with clothes is sooooo much fun! It’s a wonderful way of expressing your God-given creativity. This morning I grabbed a bright red scarf and tied it around my waist and voila, this simple black and white Jeanswest dress was given a bit of va-va-voom. It wasn’t a last minute thing mind you – I…
I can’t believe this is my 200th blog post! And to celebrate I’ll let you in on a big secret . . . you will soon be able to purchase some of the goodies you see on Looking Good Girls. I’ll keep you posted . . . but you my faithful friends, will be first…
As the weekend zips up (pun intended) I’m feeling a mixture of relief and gratitude. We ended up in emergency at the hospital Friday night after my youngest guy slammed into the corner of his bedside table and punctured a hole in the back of his head. A whole lot of blood spilled out and…
Strapless dresses are usually my first go-to on hot days but this one was too hot to handle today. The corset dress is back in the spotlight according to the latest Vogue magazine, with embellished or brightly coloured strapless dresses taking centre stage. My little ruffled number is an oldie and can easily be dressed up…
