Feeling Blah

Today I didn’t have a “dressing adventure”. I was in a panic, I felt like crap from lack of sleep but I had 4 meetings back to back very early this morning. Today I dressed partly for the rainy cold weather and partly because I lack inspiration.
I’ve been feeling a bit low, the fashion industry is tough and I’m feeling a little down from all the rejection I’ve been getting lately. I need to develop a thicker skin.

Embracing Glunge

I look back on old photos and can’t believe how much my style has evolved. 5 years ago I was on the wild side of conservative. Black suit with a pink shirt and pink shoes, I thought the pink shoes were so outrageous at the time.

Now I’m embracing glam grunge aka Glunge and loving every minute of it. Bring on the leather skirts, ripped denim, studded belts and bracelets actually studded anything. Some might think it strange as I’m over 40 but I love it, and I’m going to rock this look for as long as I can.

Expecting the Unexpected

Today has been such a full on day. My dressing adventure started with CB coming over to discuss the final details of her EP launch tomorrow. After that meeting I had two others plus I had to pick up all the gear for the shoot. Lots to do and only a few hours in the day to do it with.
I started today’s dressing adventure with this one shoulder Marni inspired dress. I love all one shoulder items because they show off my tattoo. This dress isn’t too flattering when unbelted but I was in a flowy mood and didn’t feel like wearing a belt. It’s cold in Sydney so leggings and boots are a must.

Today Ms CB took my photos. I felt a bit silly posing for the ex-model (who really really knows how to work the camera).

Urban Cowgirl

Today’s dressing adventure started with my vintage Mambo cowboy shirt. I bought this shirt for $2 a long time ago at Zoo Emporium and have barely worn it. I thought it was appropriate for working at Uturn today. I’m feeling a bit country and western, the shirt is vintage and I’m working in a vintage shop, so it all fits in well. It’s a shame I have such a bad camera because you can’t see all the detailing on the shirt.

I didn’t realise my Request Jeans are Jeans made for black bootys but make my thighs look huge in relation to my upper half. Oh well you can’t have everything.

More Menswear and Stripes

Today’s dressing adventure started with me looking out the window and cursing the rain. I ran out to walk Mr Matey and by the time I got back the rain was starting to slow down. It was still chilly so I paired my striped tee and jeans with this fab blazer ST gave me. I ironed my little red scarf and folded into a pocket square and placed it in my breast pocket. I felt dandy.

Bad photo day – only one good one.

Needing to get out of the house

This afternoon I realised that it was lunchtime and I was still in my bathrobe and Fed Ex was buzzing my door. Something had to be done. I couldn’t spend another day on the email and computer without seeing a little bit of the outside world.

Today’s dressing adventure saw me trying to find something warm and comfy to wear. The weather has turned to Autumn here in Sydney and one needs a jacket if they are going to venture outside. I also wanted to wear these fab boots that Solestruck.com so wonderfully sent me. They are BCBGirls and they are sooo hot. I can’t walk anywhere without someone stopping me to say how fab they are.

Pulled on the black True Religion jeans, a sweater (jumper to the Aussies) and this gorgeous hat that the BF bought me this weekend and off I went.


Bad picture day. Only 2 decent ones out of like 20. Not feeling glam when I have to force myself to get out of the house.

Bad weather, cancelled shoots and looking in shops

Today’s dressing adventure was a strange one. It is really rainy and dreary at the moment in Sydney. When I got up to walk the dogs I really had to rug up to stay warm. I was ment to be working today so got dressed in Stylist mode. Then the shoot I was working on got cancelled because of the pending rain. Since I was all dressed with no where to go my assistant SS and I decided to have a look at the shops to get some inspiration for a future shoot.

I try to go out and look at what’s in store at least once a week and check out all the windows and who is shopping where and for what. Just a tip for Sydney Siders – Sequin Leggings – both Cotton On and Supre have inexpensive versions.

We walked for ages but it was a very productive day and I’m happy with all the shots we took of clothes to inspire us. After having such a crap morning, it turned out to be a productive afternoon ending in the Lounge with a fab glass of Pinot Noir.

Dreary Accounting Meetings and random photos from last night

Today’s dressing adventure saw me running to meet my Assistant at Uturn and picking up this awesome sequin jacket. I purchased, threw it on and ran to meet the accountant, never a great affair. He is lovely but I’ve come away feeling like I have so much more work to do and I’ll never be as organised as I need to be.

The jacket made me feel better even though it’s not a business expense so I really shouldn’t be buying it. But I can say that I’m trying to help stimulate the economy and that sort of justifies the $20.

I also must mention the most amazing thing – a couple of weeks ago I opened my email to receive the most amazing message from Solestruck.com offering me a pair of free shoes from their website. Offering me (the shoeaholic!!!) free shoes!! Of course I immediately wrote back and low and behold it’s all on the up and up and here are my fabulous boots by BCBGirls. Love Solestruck.com.

Oh and last plug – Portman’s has come up with their own version of the fab multi-chain Givenchy look that was so big last Fall. I really love this look so of course I had to have this necklace. I want it in gold too.
