It’s time to de-lurk
By on 23 February 12Whenever I’m in Sydney for work, Mrs Woog insists that I stay at her house instead of any swanky accommodation I may be offered. This is particularly good today for two reasons: 1. There are currently two ridiculously hot Scottish removalists here packing up “anything that’s not bolted down”. 2. The removalists will be taking [...]
How to wear coloured jeans
By on 22 February 12My one hot tip for updating your winter wardrobe this autumn-winter is to buy a pair of coloured jeans. They are to your new-season wardrobe like a new lip colour is to your makeup bag. With one easy purchase you have instantly added a little zing to your look. And that will make you feel [...]
Viva la difference: more of these mag covers please
By on 21 February 12I’m over at Justb. this afternoon discussing this magazine cover: And this one: Come on over and have your say. I don’t think fashion should not be size-ist, do you?
Keeping it Real: the in and out of the home office outfit
By on 20 February 12I love working from home. I really do. People say to me, “don’t you get distracted and do other things?” and I answer, “yes I do”. That’s what makes it fun. I love a good distraction. And by distraction, I don’t mean hanging out the washing, preparing dinner at lunch time or anything that could [...]
Sunday Sesh: The Help, setting goals and sh*t fashion girls say
By on 19 February 12Another weekend almost done and dusted. We’re going to do a late arvo swim at the beach just to round things off nicely. A summer weekend at the Coast just doesn’t seem right without a dip in the ocean. That’s just me. Maybe it’s you too? Depending on where you live of course. Might be [...]
Have you put a value on your blog’s brand?
By on 18 February 12There are just 40 days until the Digital Parents Conference. As I was skyping this week with Maria Tedeschi, the session coordinator*, I cast my mind back to 12 months ago. And specifically what the Australian blogging landscape looked like then and what it looks like now. And I thought, WOW. So much has happened [...]
5 for Friday: super cute frocks from the DJs show
By on 17 February 12Once upon a time before the big bad GFC, retail giant David Jones used to have swish season launches in Brisbane, Melbourne AND Sydney. These days it’s all about the Sydney bash. It’s celebrity and fashion media-a-rama. Especially with DJs ambassador Miranda Kerr back front and centre catwalk (I wrote a little letter to Miranda [...]

By on 16 February 12Oh boy, it’s been a while between competitions here on Styling You, hasn’t it? Sorry about that. I really don’t know how it got to be mid-February already. Do you? But I’m here and we’ve got some wonderful autumn treats for you to win because I think you’re all super special and really deserving of [...]
Win one of two beach cruiser bikes
By on 15 February 12Do you remember your first bike? Was it new? Was it a hand-me-down? Did it get you all the places you wanted to go? Did it give you the wind-through-your-hair freedom that you craved as a kid? I grew up in a country town in regional Queensland. A mostly flat country town. I now regularly [...]
I AM on Team Jeggings. I just have 5 rules.
By on 14 February 12Jeggings. There are few words in fashion bound to illicit such polarising reactions as discussion around these hybrid pants. The J word came up on yesterday’s Keeping It Real post. The post in which I wore one of my pairs of NYDJ jeggings. Over the past few winters, jeggings have ended up with a bad wrap. [...]
Keeping it real: the trip to Sydney outfit
By on 13 February 12Last Wednesday, I got up, made Mr 6′s lunch (he currently has a penchant for grated cheese and barbecue sauce wraps – the nutrition police will come knocking soon), drove him to school and then hopped on a plane to Sydney. As you do. Well, actually lots of important business people probably do this kind [...]
