Did you know that Metalicus featured in the first ever Model and Me post here on Styling You … way back in 2010? Could have sworn it was 2011 but it seems the ability to let the years all blur into each other is yet another bonus that comes with this thing called ageing . I’ve… Continue Reading
I love hearing great business stories. And I especially love hearing great fashion business stories. Kerry Pietrobon is living one of those great fashion business stories right now. After being retrenched as a designer for another label in November last year, she decided (with her husband) that it was time to create a brand that… Continue Reading
It’s no secret that I’m a stripe-loving girl (although last week’s flirtation with all things spotty put polka dots very much on my radar) so it took just a couple of clicks of the mouse for me to add to cart my latest striped purchase. I blame Mrs Woog for a lot of things and… Continue Reading
Mr SY says that he first noticed me in the office {that’s where we met, cliched yes} … because I looked sophisticated. You know, dressed the part and all that. I tell you, Stylers, it was all smoke and mirrors … or pencil skirts and red lippy. Whatever it was, it worked. So much so,… Continue Reading
As someone who gets to lounge around in pretty much whatever I like most days of the week when I’m glued to my computer, an invitation to glam it up always ignites a little style fire in this here belly. If you’ve been following along here for more than a year or two, you’ll be… Continue Reading

The challenge is that this sticky time also coincides with the arrival of the party season. The Season of the… Continue Reading
It is no state style secret around these parts that I’m a fan of the maxi dress. Massive fan. HUGE. If you need to play catch-up at this point, head on over to this post I wrote last year. Everyone can find a maxi dress that fits and flatters. Yes, you can. For me (and… Continue Reading
You know my thoughts on the Little Black Dress. I talked this wardrobe work horse up as part of this post. But as regular Styling You commenter, Lisa Mackenzie, pointed out … black “makes me look old and sick” … her words not mine. The fact is that black doesn’t look good on everyone. It works… Continue Reading
There are certain events that spring up – pun very much intended – where I actually forget that I am no longer a sweet, young 20-year-old, who can go to a LONNNNGGGGGG lunch, maxi cab it with eight others to an after party via a bottle shop and have any hope of waking the next… Continue Reading
Apologies in advance to anyone living elsewhere in Australia where the September=Spring memo is yet to land in your region’s inbox. The memo had not only landed in the inbox of my little corner of the country, it had started sending me a calendar alert every day reminding me that it was time to do… Continue Reading
In cased you missed it in your part of the world, spring sprung across the weekend. In my part of the world? Yep, it turned it on. Beautifully. My excitement for the fashion season ahead (of which I got a taste while in the US) went up a notch or six. I’m ready. For warmer… Continue Reading
