I’ve really gotta lay off the chocolate this week. I had to suck my belly in for this form-fitting dress but you’ll be pleased to know that now I’m home I’m letting it all hang out . . . the belly that is! It was a case of instant fake tan to the rescue this…
Just had to get my peplum on today! And it felt incredibly ladylike. Fortunately, I had a reason to dress up . . . not that I ever need one! I threw on this outfit, and managed to slap on a bit of make-up and brush my hair with only 10 minutes to spare. Preening…
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. This white lace dress attracted compliments from the girls with a few asking where it was…
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.…
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…
I found this fabulously fluffy mini-dress last year. It’s very sheer and short and is best worn with a petticoat. Not long after I discovered it Chanel came out with something a bit like it. Then Louis Vuitton unleashed those gorgeous feathered broderie anglaise dresses (see Kate Moss below in a stunning Marc Jacobs creation). And here’s…
When mum gave me this brooch for Christmas my first thought was, ‘what on earth was she thinking!’. But my creative juices kicked in almost immediately with the idea to put it on a ribbon and create a gorgeous choker. And get ready because I’m anticipating this becoming the look de jour shortly. Major fashion…
Have you checked out the Spanish fashion store Zara yet? What do you think of the clothes and prices? These black shorts with embellished waistband are from Zara. Actually I found them in an op shop in brand new condition for under $5 last year. Super bargain! I’ve been wanting to peruse the Zara store…
With the weather warming up, it was time to dig out this long singlet top dress and test drive the nautical look. Fashion and the fads that go with it are moving at break-neck speeds, which is why creating your own unique style is empowering and transcends the fads. I discovered this dress last summer…
I adore this peplum top. The material is silky and it’s cut to flatter the bust. And the best news? It was on sale for $15 at yep, you guessed it, Valleygirl! I’ve paired it with these red three-quarter jeans, which I found at an op shop for $4! Many high end designers, including Prada…
