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 caught up with a couple of great buddies I haven’t seen in years today and one of the girls had the most amazing story. Her brilliant big diamond fell out of her engagement ring recently and she thought it was gone for good. Her husband turned the car and kitchen sink inside out looking…
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…
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…
Imagine if you had someone to style your hair before you even stepped out the door in the morning! This is a reality for celebrities who have a small army of hair and make-up artists and stylists at their fingertips. Unfortunately for the rest of us, we have to make do. This is probably the…
I desperately wanted to dive into the pool, clothes and all, while taking this photo today. In fact, I almost fell in trying to balance on these glittery wedges. As the temperature climbed to 30 degrees I started baking – not literally. Much to my boys’ disgust, we had home-made fried rice for dinner, packed…
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…
