International fashionistas have taken to wearing scarfs to keep the chill at bay, with most nochanlantly throwing them over shoulders or covering their hair, babushka style. We’re only days away from making them a staple in Melbourne but I got creative and used one as a belt. This fun tinkering started when I couldn’t get my hands on the…
I’m nearly always banging on about bargains but when it comes to investment pieces for your wardrobe, it’s important to spend up as big as you can (and I’m all for using cash not credit so you don’t overspend). These knee-high black leather boots are a great example. I picked them up at Wittner a few…
Experiencing four seasons in one day is perfectly normal in Melbourne so the plan today was to embrace it in one outfit. Obviously the floral jeans represent spring/summer and the boots and Hunt No More leather jacket are all about autumn/winter. Normally, I’d reach for the multi-tiered necklace in summer and pair it with a…
There’s just one thing missing from this outfit! Can you guess what it is? It’s this animal print baby of course. Hermes Birkin anyone? Given the starting price for a handcrafted Hermes Birkin handbag – the ultimate symbol of wealth – is about $8000, this is the closest I’m likely to get to one! But…
A hit of yellow is a great way to inject colour on a dreary Autumn day and it’s an idea being embraced by royalty and top international designers. The Duchess of Cambridge Catherine Middleton did it so elegantly last week in a bright yellow Roksanda Ilincic dress during her debut appearance in Australia. The bright…
If you don’t ask, you don’t get! I’m talking about asking for a discount of course, and for once, I forgot to follow my own advice. Fortunately, mum was with me when I picked out this deliciously soft pastel pink jumper and she fired the discount question at the sales girl. And boy was I…
I’m heading off soon to work on the television series Winners & Losers but before I go, I thought I’d give you a peek at an outfit I styled for church after a minor wardrobe meltdown. I tried on at least three different outfits and realised my mojo had left the room! This just…
There’s not going to be any dress ups and styled outfits today thanks to it pouring with rain outside. But it’s the perfect day to go shopping! I prefer the tangible bricks & mortar shopping experience but sadly, I have a house full of noisy boys again so I’m stuck indoors. But for those of you…
Denim on denim is still reigning in the fashion spotlight but it’s not everyone’s cup of tea! Chambray shirts are also here to stay a while longer and because I’m never one to follow, this is my version of chambray with a twist. This cropped Mexican jacket had me at ‘hello’ with its white…
We made the most of the warmish weather yesterday with a picnic at a beachside park, coffee at a jetty cafe and a play on the beach. And yes this outfit did attract some interesting looks! I styled this look for church but traded it in for denim shorts and a cropped white tee…
