On the mend

I’m finally feeling better and Shane and I decided to take a walk through Paddington and shop around in Bondi Junction.  A lot of walking to do in these shoes but my feet survived.  Along the way I was stopped so many times by people to ask about my shoes.

Spring is in the air but not quite here yet.  Can’t wait to break out the light dresses and sandals.  Reading all the American fashion blogs has got me jealous.

Sensational Saturdays

Went to the Art Gallery of NSW, placed money in a piggy money-box for good fortune, watch shopping, dinner at the Dolphin, caught up with Markus, then drinks at the Trinity with Bingers and the girls.  Yeah, fun day.

Fat Jeans & Stripes

Yesterday’s fashion adventure was a bit of a mish mash. I went to put on my skinny jeans only to realise that I’ve put on a few kilos and don’t fit them. YIKES! So I had to put on my fat jeans which is always a bummer. I don’t know what possessed me to put on stripes which of course is supposed to make you look fatter but I did. I was loving myself sick in the morning when I took these photos but am now thinking it was a big mistake. Oh well you can’t get it right everyday.

Breton Stripes and Cowboy Boots

Today’s dressing adventure started with this photo from Who What Wear.

I love this stripe sweater. I bought it years and years ago from Jcrew. The next item of focus are these cowboy boots that I bought over 2 months ago resale from Uturn. They smelled a bit mildewy so have been sitting on my balcony with dryer sheets. The smell is still there but not as bad. If anyone out there knows how to get rid of the smell, please let me know.

And for those of you who asked for it, a close up of my new Louis.

The September Issue at the Sydney Film Festival

I finally got off the couch this afternoon and headed into town to watch the Sydney Film Festival premiere of The September Issue. Thanks Milena of I Love Wednesdays for suggesting we go cause it was amazing. Grace Coddington is a legend and an amazing stylist.  I can only hope that one day I live up to her standards.  After the movie IMG had a cocktail party but Milena and I didn’t have invites.  When we were leaving the theatre a wonderful woman came up to us and gave us two free passes cause she liked out outfits.  YAY!  Though the party was a bit of a dud, but it was a great night anyway.

Presents from the BF and more copy adventures

Today’s dressing adventure started with my fantastic new boots. These are a great copy of the Gucci studded boots. They are by Tony Bianco purchased from the fabulous Maxx shoes on Bondi Beach. I LOVE them and heart my fantastic boyfriend for picking them up for me. Today I paired the boots with my old jeans, shirt sweater combo and my new GStar neoprene jacket – perfect for Bondi Beach.

Tagged and Working from home

A while ago, actually a long while ago Alicia from Instant Vintage (one of my FAV blogs , link to the right under Fav blogs) tagged me to photograph where I blog from or my work space as such. Well I don’t have an office and I am one of those ‘have laptop will travel’ people so I blog from anywhere. But most of the time I’m right here on my couch working & blogging.

Not such a fashionista today. Am waiting for a few couriers to come and take away all the lovely gear from last Sunday’s shoot and researching the next two shoots. It is getting cold in Sydney so the Uggs will be the slippers of choice.

Jumpsuits, Statement Necklaces & Geisha Shoes

Today’s dressing adventure is all over the shop. I acquired this jumpsuit last week and have already worn it (didn’t have time last week to blog about it). I decided it had to make another appearance as I’m going to be running around Fashion Stylist style today. Now I have to say that it’s hard with a capital H to pair up a vertical black and white striped jumpsuit with anything, I mean anything. So I found for the second time that I was trying on loads of things to try to make this piece work. I finally decided on this combo, jumpsuit, statement necklace and Geisha shoes.

I just need to point out that it’s not always a good thing to take three big trends and put them all in one look but I’m branching out in 2009 and saying break the rules.


Today’s outfit is brought to you by: Blazer – Old Navy, Jumpsuit – vintage thrifted via Uturn (of course!), Shirt – Kookai, Bangles – combination vintage thrifted via Uturn and Diva, Necklace – Diva, Shoes – Siren, Handbag – See by Chloe

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.

Midweek Banking

Tonight I went to the Bank in Newtown to hang out with one of my male identified lesbian friends. PH is so funny. He is a lesbian trapped in a gay man’s body and loves going to the girl bars and just hanging out. I indulged him tonight and went too.
Dressing to go to girly bars is hard for a girly girl like me. My dressing adventure started with my vintage studded belt. I knew whatever I wore tonight, this would be a feature. Old jeans, my new Marni boot copies and my Givenchy inspired necklace all made an appearance as well. I originally was going to wear this velvet blazer but I realised once I got outside that it was too hot and had to change but didn’t get time to take new photos. I wasn’t too out of place tonight and it’s always fun to hang out with PH.


Here is little Vernon who isn’t so little anymore. He is being re homed this week and I’m going to miss him.

Tonight’s outfit is brought to you by: Blazer – Old Navy, Tee – Marcs, Jeans – Old Navy, Belt – Vintage thrifted via Zoo Emporium, Necklace – Portmans, Boots – Siren
