For the third consecutive day I’m housebound with a sick child – well sort of! I managed to sneak out yesterday for a not-to-be-missed shopping extravaganza. Once a year a handful of girls are invited into the home of a friend, Maddy, who owns French Pony boutique in Brighton, to get our hands on some…
Yesterday I worked on the set of a little TV show you may have heard of . . . Neighbours! And what an exciting afternoon it was for this wide-eyed fashionista. Funny story – the guy who plays Paul, hang on while I look up his name . . . Stefan Dennis (he’s been a…
I knew last night that I wanted to wear this dress today, but I wasn’t quite sure what to do with it! With all the draping and ruching I felt a bit like one of those Shar Pei dogs that grow into all their folds of skin. So I rolled my sleeves up and got…
Had a blissful few hours of ‘me time’ at the hairdresser’s today. There’s nothing quite like a good head massage, fresh new hair-do, and being served cups of tea or coffee while you pour over the latest fashion magazines.

I can’t wait for summer! It’s 13 degrees and raining frequently here and my extremely active boys are stuck inside on school holidays. Perhaps if I put the brakes on shopping I could afford to whisk my family off somewhere hot and tropical . . . I can feel a shopping trip coming on! This grey…
Breathtakingly high side-splits are sashaying down the runway on skirts and dresses and they look hot, providing a sneak peak at toned legs and thighs. If the very thought makes you nauseous, a front split is a great alternative. This Bettina Liano skirt is about 12 years old and holds fond memories – I wore…
This outfit was built around this nail polish. I loved the colour (Ocean Breeze by Revlon) and the smell – it has a perfume scent! And I found it in a Chemist Warehouse for $5. This silk Japanese top was the perfect colour match and then I had some fun playing with belts. The pearl…
I am woman, hear me roar! Animal prints are very much in vogue but if you don’t feel brave enough to be covered in it there are plenty of subtle options to play with. The interesting hides found on the big cats are appearing on shoes, belts and even gloves. I’ve had this dress for…
