I think I’m getting the hang of this summer in the city dressing. It’s not always easy keeping your cool but when you start out the day with the right wardrobe ingredients you can make it through to the evening without losing it. And losing it I nearly did yesterday … thanks to an “interesting”… Continue Reading
Keeping some semblance of style going on is difficult at the best of times but when you’re smack, bang in the middle of summer, it’s probably the time of year that presents the biggest challenges. For starters, you’d probably prefer not to be wearing much at all (not an option should you wish to leave… Continue Reading
Let’s talk about the weather in New York, shall we? Flying from winter into summer without spring in between has been a bit of a shock for old ‘bod. It’s not happy. Not one bit. I’ve got cankles on top of my cankles. Sweat flows from every fold and crevice of my skin. So when… Continue Reading
So I’ve been on a little bit of a health thingy. The kind of thingy where I’ve been giving this old body a little bit of the respect it deserves. I won’t bore you with the details right now but suffice to say, I hadn’t really looked after myself for a while there. I’d taken… Continue Reading

They are not hanging there merely for show either. They are loved and on most days reached for in preference to jeans or… Continue Reading
Thank God I’m a country girl … Ok, you got me, I’m not. But if I am called upon to participate in some kind of themed dressing like I was over the weekend, I’m unlikely to head to a costume hire business. No, I’ll look in my wardrobe. So, I looked in my wardrobe and… Continue Reading
Hello autumn. I feel you. You make nights so much more fun. I do love a doona snuggle. Yes, I do. And I do like that it’s not super sticky and sweaty.

Sponsored post Remember the This Goes With That Sussan ads of the 1980s and ’90s? I do. Still can’t go into a store without that jingle popping up in my head. Can you? See, where I grew up in country Queensland, Sussan was the only fashion chain store in town. For a big chunk of… Continue Reading
We’ve been talking a lot here about black maxi dresses. We’ve shown that they are super easy to wear, can be layered to create a whole bunch of different looks and that they offer a fab alternative to jeans for autumn-winter. Well, listen up, because if you sit somewhere all lovely on the curvy side… Continue Reading
