Winter Alley

A freezing afternoon strolling around Moorabbin after some vintage shopping in the area, we came across this brick alleyway. Luckily before the rain started we managed to take some photographs. I was all rugged up in my Bardot black assasin cardi (yes, I have both colours) and new chunky scarf from Sportsgirl. I'm looking forward to sharing some great vintage jackets I found on the day, bit of tartan, houndstooth and tweed.

Myer Miss Shop

Thursday night for the Paint It Red campaign launch at the Myer Basement, I wore this leopard print skirt by Princess Highway with a black bomber jacket and tee from Bardot. Both brands are available downstairs in the Myer basement in the Miss shop section. We took these photographs outside the GPO building, I've always loved this part of the city. 

Also wearing boots from Betts, Sportsgirl necklace

Party Sparkle

Ah December, the party season is here. A reason to sparkle in lots of sequins for those special occasions.

I'm wearing Sportsgirl Lara embellished dress $169.95

The second dress is one I bought a couple of months ago but is still available here. Sportsgirl Frankie dress $199.95

I wore this dress out for my 20th Birthday in October. I think of it as being a modern day flapper dress. Love.

It's backless so I literally used duct tape to keep my stick on bra in place. Sounds crazy but it worked so well! I was able to dance all night with no problems.

The sequin detailing is amazing.

Also wearing

Left- Betts nude heels, bronze chain necklace, Sportsgirl pearl bracelets

Right- Heels from Santini, Sportsgirl ring

My new heels I bought at Santini, Samar in black plush $90

Perfect for wearing out considering most of my good friends are extremely tall! They make me (almost) as tall as them.

ps. Little Black Beau turned one year old last weekend :) thanks for your support x

Retail Therapy

I haven't done a post lately because it seems all my time has been spent either shopping ...or at work helping other people shop (where I also tend to buy a lot for myself). The last few weeks have been filled with my post Christmas purchases and items for my new year wardrobe. I even needed to purchase a chest of draws from Ikea, having filled my whole wardrobe. Every time I clean out my wardrobe...I seem to make more new purchases than those I'm getting rid of!

There are always a lot of sales this time of year and I can't resist. But I think of it as buying myself late Christmas presents after I've spent money on family and friends.

Here's a few of my recent buys.

Valleygirl dress for only $19.95 - it has lace at the back which you can see here.

Sportsgirl slouchy cardi in camel $59.95

Sportsgirl spooky pooky owl necklace $16.95

I thought the print on the dress was cute and it was so cheap I couldn't not buy it. I love the pearl eyes of the owl, kinda freaky but somehow cute at the same time.



I thought it was time for new black heels I can wear with anything since they never last me long (note to self: don't fall down stairs at a club in my new heels and ruin them)

Betts Suzie Platforms $76.95 from $109.95

Sportsgirl Ruffle Pocket Dress $89.95

I love paisley and it's not very common in formal dresses... and ofcourse I love the pockets.

Sportsgirl jumper - Intarsia pullover $79.95

- worn with vintage pendant

Glassons denim shorts $29.95

Sportsgirl Tilly's Lace Shirt in slate $89.95

worn with Sportsgirl hope necklace (old)

Dotti Dita Strapless Dress $49.95 from $69.95

Dotti had a one day sale last week where it was another 50% off sale items so I actually nabbed this dress for only $25.

I also found this cute skirt for only $15!
Now it's $29.95 and was originally $49.95

Dotti Bow Front Skirt

Worn with Bardot top from Myer $29.95

Sportsgirl Sunnies $39.95

Sportsgirl Tribal shirt tail skirt $79.95

Sportsgirl Intrepid necklace $24.95

At first I wasn't sure about this skirt because I've never really worn long skirts and wasn't sure if I liked it being longer in the back (what Kelly Osbourne would call 'the mullet dress') but I think this one grew on me because I really like it now.
