Old fashion rules like never mixing cream and white, or green and blue, have been thrown out and now just about anything goes and frankly, I’m revelling in it. Not that I’m one to follow someone else’s rules – I prefer to flow with my own creative instincts. It’s great dabbling in the…
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…
I was gazing at these Donna Velenta wedges last night and pondering what on earth I could wear them with. They haven’t had a run yet and they’ve been sitting in the shoe-drobe gathering dust! Well lo and behold Melbourne turned on another 25 degree day and I found the perfect little number to wear…
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 my darlings is what I wore to church today! I felt like I was dressing to attend a wedding . . . you know how I love the chance to doll up. I don’t think I’ve mentioned how I used to spend hours styling my Barbie dolls when I was a little girl –…
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…
Happy Valentine’s Day to all the lovebirds out there . . . and most importantly to my beautiful hubby. This is what I was planning to wear today – Parisian chic with a twist and a bit of obligatory red to suit the day – but the weather in Melbourne has gone crazy and I…
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…
Yep, it’s another day at the skatepark! But of course the outfit is totally different and so is the skatepark. I built this little number around silver sandals after being inspired by Mum in her strappy metallic pair yesterday. The pink Forever 21 ruffle top is a winner if you want to hide a belly…
It’s party time girls and now’s your chance to dress up in some hot frocks and sizzle through the festive season. I wanted to show you it’s possible to look a million bucks on a tiny budget. This satin and sequinned Garfunkle ruffle dress was a vintage find last year and cost me under $10.…
