Guess who’s coming for a playdate?

Guess who’s coming for a playdate?

Australia is all atizz. Not since the excitement of last month's visit by Prince William has Australia been graced with such illustrious company because President Obama is coming to town. I'll bet Prime Minister Rudd is beside himself. Do I [...]

I don’t get Kate Moss

I don’t get Kate Moss

OK, I'm probably going to upset you fashionistas out there, but you know what, I just don't get Kate Moss. With full hair and makeup she's quite stunning, but aren't we all. But you know you'd be lucky to find a photo of Ms Moss in full hair and [...]

What do you think of Nicole’s new look?

What do you think of Nicole’s new look?

God, I love this time of year. It's awards season and get to do two of my favourite things--watch TV and clothes criticising (this from person whose preferred footwear is a pair of Havianas). Golden Globes last week (see my ode to Toni Collette) [...]

Tattoos are so passé, darling

Five shoe trends that should go away

Five shoe trends that should go away

I'm no shoe Sartorialist. My favourite and most frequently worn piece of footwear is the Haviana. I usually wear heels for grown up things, but the rest of the time you can find me in my rubber pluggers, heel skin thickening by the moment, smile on [...]

Rachel, that’s bananas

Rachel, that’s bananas

I've always had a little celebrity crush on stylist Rachel Zoe. I loved her A-Z style book and I have been glued to the two seasons of her reality TV show, The Rachel Zoe Project. I've even started sprinkling my everyday conversation with Rachel [...]

Puppy love overload

Puppy love overload

There's an urban myth that goes something like this: Woman comes home from work, exhausted and feeling a little sorry for herself, after all it was her birthday.  She decides to get a little one on one with the man in her life who happens to be a [...]

Inspiration anyone?

Inspiration anyone?

I have a guilty secret lurking in my wardrobe. It's my inspiration clothes and they hold a special place my wardrobe where they may never again see the light of day. Yes, that's inspiration clothes not inspiration quotes. What are inspiration [...]
