Do you dress according to how you feel? I was in the mood for jeans today and ended up in my favourite Sass & Bide faux-leather pair. I bought them a couple of years ago from David Jones for $230 and they are more in vogue than ever. I resisted my urge to wear thongs…
Can you think of a better way to brighten a cloudy day than with yellow flowers? This is another vintage ensemble that cost me $10 for the dress and shoes. I was stoked to find these patent, skin-patterned heels, they are bang on-trend with the gold hardware and ankle panel. Supermodel and actress Rosie Huntington…
This is true vintage style. This floral maxi is straight out of the 70s and was handed down from my fashionista mum to her protege, me! It was in perfect condition until my oldest son walked into my wardrobe a couple of years ago with a pair of scissors. In typical testosterone-fuelled style, he sliced…
From now on I’m going to call goodies from the op shop ‘vintage’. It sounds much more polished, and you’ll know exactly what I’m talking about because of the ridiculously low prices. So lets see how we go! I’m in love with these beige lace-up ‘vintage’ booties, which cost $3. I scored these babies and…
I wish I could jump on this beast of a bike and ride into the sunset. But unfortunately, it’s not mine, and there’s too many people to look after around here! Sometimes life gets so hard and the temptation to run away is strong. We all face challenges, and believe me, I’m enduring one of…
I look a wreck today because I’ve been awake since 3am! Unfortunately it’s not from celebrating the festive season. First the ducks were making too much noise then I heard the teenagers next door making a nuisance of themselves. I started drifting back to sleep then one of the boys woke at 4am. Walking around…
Maxi dresses would have to be one of the best things that came out of the 70s! They are so comfortable and the right shape can do wonders for all the different sizes and shapes we come in. The one I’m in today is clingy but a more free-flowing style would be fabulous for anyone…
Today’s outfit . . . What’s so funny? It was hubby being naughty – too cheeky for me to print! I must have been fixated on stripes today. Stripey top? Check. Stripey shoes? Check. More stripey dresses this week, check, check and check. There’s plenty of stripey gear on high rotation in my very cramped…
Lets talk trends! This outfit embraces two trends that are hot right now – digital prints and neon. I thoroughly enjoy playing around with trends and being adventurous but if a current trend doesn’t suit you or bring our your best (who could forget the fashion tragedy of muffin tops hanging out of hipster jeans)…
Today was so warm that nothing short of a strapless dress would do. I don’t know if you’ve ventured into strapless territory but it is the best way to stay cool on a hot day. There’s something fabulous about having no material around the decolletage and shoulders. This bright green Pura Vida dress has butterflies…
