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 [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
5 for Friday: new-season bag lustings
By on 10 February 12Did you hear the one about the husband who said you can never own too many bags? No, of course you haven’t Stylers. Because these words have never been uttered from a male’s lips. They do not understand that your handbag says so much about you. Especially that part of you that likes to change [...]
Keeping it real: the girlie birthday lunch outfit
By on 08 February 12Do you acquire certain friends from particular star signs? It seems I collect Aquarians and Scorpios. I haven’t done any extensive research into this, short of looking at my calendar around these particular months and seeing it filled with birthday lunches, dinners, drinks, coffees. And that’s ok. Especially the lunches. I’m a big fan of [...]
Does your work wardrobe need a shake-up?
By on 06 February 12I was Skyping with one of my online members a couple of weeks ago. We’ve been working together for about six months, planning for her return to work after maternity leave. This Melbourne mum was looking for a change-up in her work wardrobe; something to give her a lift and help her revamp her existing workwear [...]
Keeping it real: the school function outfit
By on 01 February 12Sometimes for my everyday I have to dress up a little bit more. I have to leave my corner of the lounge room, put in a bit more effort and head out to the big wide world. Because I live at the beach the dress code is still pretty casual even if it’s a dress-up [...]
Guest post: 7 ways to save money on fashion
By on 30 January 12Editor’s note: Sorry for the late post today but I think my guest blogger will be ok with the reason. I was up late last night sorting out my financials. Just writing the word financials is enough to make me come over all dizzy. But I’ve said it, I’ve done it (sorted them, I mean) [...]
5 for Friday: Swimwear for those NOT seeking skimpy
By on 27 January 12Let’s talk girl to girl here … there’s not a lot of fabric standing between your body and the change room mirror when you’re shopping for swimsuit. It’s a fitting room situation designed to bring all our body issues together for one giant pity party for one. I’m not much for pity parties so before [...]
