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…
Hubby just told me he’s been using my Venus razors to shave his legs and now I’m in shock and don’t know what to write! In case you’re wondering if there’s something weird going on – there’s definitely not – he’s a cyclist. Yes they shave their legs to reduce wind resistance and it’s a…
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…
From the minute I laid eyes on this embellished skirt I fell in love with it! It’s ahead of its time and embodies the style and joie de vivre found in many Sass & Bide designs. But it’s not actually from the Aussie designer, it’s Angel Biba and I discovered it on a sales rack…
I am officially in love with tutu dresses! So far this is the closest thing I have to a tutu and I’m really enjoying wearing it. I tried on a few dresses with fuller tutu’s earlier this week but none were quite right. Then I walked into the op shop and this little blessing was…
Wearing yellow is such a fab way to brighten your day. Trust me it works – even though it doesn’t look like it with me squinting into the harsh sun. The sheerness and movement of this dress made me feel so feminine. Would you believe a local butcher told me he had “never seen a…
This is one way to wear a trench coat. But I’ve got a couple of other ideas to show you which I hope will inspire you when the temperature drops. This trans-seasonal staple is a must in every woman’s wardrobe and it is currently being reinvented by fashion powerhouse Burberry Prorsum in metallic and shiny…
These are my lucky jeans! I was trying them on in the fitting room a few weeks ago and found $10 in the back pocket. What a bonus – actually a blessing! That note paid for these jeans and a black snakeskin pair, which I’ll show you soon. I’m not in the habit of keeping…
I went for a huge hit of neon today! Maybe the big morning run set my brain on color overload. Or perhaps it was the cloudy sky, which I felt needed brightening up. Either way, I didn’t think I could be this adventurous on a long weekend. The pink neon jacket is a newbie, and…
