She's BAACCKKK.
Apologies in advance if you're new to Styling You and have thus-far escaped our Nina Proudman obsession but Offspring is back on our TVs and that means that every Thursday here on the blog, I'll be dissecting her wardrobe from the night before.
Obsessed? Damn straight.

I've got some more BB creams to share with you on the blog soon (yes, it's a popular bandwagon that one) but this question from SY reader Olivia prompted me to think that you might be wondering the same thing too.
I'm a convert to the Garnier BB cream thanks to you but I'm finding that the cooler … [more]

At the end of last winter I had to give my favourite black ballet flats a ceremonial farewell.
They had served me well on many an occasion through autumn and winter. My go-to flats; my no-think, just wear flats ... they had never let me down.
Until that fatef… [more]
Miss SY isn't a girly girl. Don't get me wrong, she loves clothes, wears some makeup and likes to spray on some perfume every day but generally she's not about the frou frou.
Thank goodness.
We're just on the other side of The School Formal and I don't think I would have coped "working" with a… [more]
There is a war going on at the Styling You beach shack.
A war over something quite precious in our fun little abode ... space.
We don't have much of it to spare at our place, so if someone or something takes up too much of it, it sure gets noticed.
Team SY underwent a major change earlier t… [more]

I have a pretty good relationship with my hair. I treat it with respect (most of the time) and it gives me love back (most of the time).
I can be feeling pretty awful, like right now with a stupid head cold, but a visit to the salon for a re-blonding, style cut and blo… [more]

The Model and Me: Metalicus Winter 2013
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
My 5 Sunshine Coast top things to do
As I was out riding on Saturday afternoon (I’ve taken to stealing Miss SY’s beach cruiser bike while she’s otherwise occupied … and this time she was out in the surf), it dawned on me on this glorious autumn day that it was indeed the anniversary of my arrival on the Sunshine Coast – 23… Continue Reading

Weekend recipe: Sarah Wilson’s Chia and Quinoa Parfait
I first met Quinoa (pronounced KEEN-wah) five years ago at Gwinganna Lifestyle Retreat. This was long before it became a supermarket staple. And boy, did I go to lengths to track it down after that weekend. The reason? It’s not technically a grain but as someone who is gluten intolerant, it’s proved to be an amazing grain… Continue Reading
The Model and Me: Harlow Australia autumn-winter 2013
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
Let’s go shopping: black leather pants and skirts
I’m going to call it. If you buy one new clothing piece this autumn-winter, then make it either a pair of black leather pants or a black leather skirt. Now, before you go clicking away thinking oh my God the girl’s really lost it this time, stick with me while I explain where my head… Continue Reading
What’s your shopping justification technique?
Sponsored by Dettol Mission for Health If there was a degree in Shopping Justification then I’d be up for First Class Honours. Whenever I stumble across a piece of clothing that immediately speaks to my heart, i.e. is calling me to take it home, I go through a mental checklist. Whilst wistfully staring at said… Continue Reading
11 things I learned at Fashion Week 2013
Ahh, Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week Australia* you seem so far away now. There was the build-up, the anticipation, the excitement, the outfit planning, the organisation at home. And then I was there. Doing it. Treating each day like a new adventure. An adventure with some of the most serious people watching served up on the side. Fashion Week… Continue Reading
New deodorant helps to control emotional sweating
Sponsored by NIVEA Australia Hello, my name is Nikki and I’m an Emotional Sweater. And by Emotional Sweater, I don’t mean I’ve transformed into one of those knitted character jumpers, acceptable clothing only when worn by Colin Firth in cheesy Hollywood movie moments. No, I’m talking about emotionally caused perspiration or “glowing” if you want… Continue Reading
