It was cold enough to bring out the fur today, which is not such a bad thing. I love the look of leather under fur and was planning to pop a leather jacket under this long vest but it wasn’t cold enough. Opted for leather panels instead on this khaki top with asymmetrical hem. I’m…
Everyone in fashion is banging on about white on white for spring so I thought I’d rebel and go black on black! After all, it’s the perfect backdrop for this aqua and gold Lovisa jewellery I promised to show you. This amazing neckpiece I picked up on sale for only $9 last week, using a…
The past 24 hours have been absolute bliss thanks to my parents and the generosity of some wonderful friends. We stayed at the luxurious five-star Langham Hotel in a room overlooking the Yarra to celebrate hubby’s birthday, while the boys stayed with my parents. It was a gift from a fabulous couple, who also happen…
Don’t ever spray perfume onto a sequinned top! I learnt that lesson the hard way this morning. I squirted Lola by Marc Jacobs onto this Lovely Girl sequinned top and the next minute, I had blue dye all over my hands. Fortunately, the damage was minimal and hopefully, only the most detailed person would spot…
Remember I shared with you last week about stretchy $5 skirts at Cotton On? Well I couldn’t resist; I had to go back for this emerald green and black striped skirt. I was keen for a bit of height – heels are great for elongating legs – and I wanted comfort so I pulled on…
Sometimes great opportunities come along that you’d be crazy not to jump at! So when a friend from church invited me to a private sale being held by her friend, who happens to own a fabulous boutique in Brighton, I said ‘count me in!’. I didn’t know what to expect when I walked into this…
You may have noticed girls that when I find a great bargain it cannot sit in my wardrobe, I just have to wear it! So when I picked up this brand new, velvet-fur lined, long knit for $5 I had to find a way to wear it to church. Knee-length, multi-textured jackets (think tweed and…
Stripes are everywhere and while I’m reluctant to do what everyone else is doing I was inspired to don this monochrome zip front skirt. It was a bargain from the factory outlets a few years ago. Cotton On is currently selling striped, stretch skirts for $5: they have short and knee length options. The black…
I’m enjoying a love affair with vests at the moment! They completely transform a look and can be worn over different tops and even dresses. Leather is the look du jour and I snapped up this brown leather vest for a paltry $5 at the local op shop. It complements the brown tartan pattern in…
Pencil skirts are everywhere in fashion and it’s no wonder, given how flattering they are. Leather is also raging hot in everything from singlet tops to dresses, skirts and coats. A lot of women don’t realise skirts are usually more flattering than pants, particularly if you are a little overweight. A less form-fitting skirt can…
