Cashing in the Goot Cash

I had a bit of money put aside for a Josh Goot dress that I love love love, but upon reflection thought it might be a better idea to use that money on a few different outfits rather than 1 dress that I really couldnt wear much.

So this weekend I got this Karla Spetic Dress, which I think is nice and versatile as you can dress it down like on the runway but undo a few buttons and grab a pair of heels and wear it out.

I also got these RMK shoes to wear with it for $74.95 (Bargin!) which was handy. Unfortunately the sales person gave me 2 left feet and I lost the reciept but after much arguing and frustration I finally got the right foot and am a very happy camper.

Best thing is I still have heaps of goot cash left thats burning a hole in my pocket. Although below is the Goot dress (but the one I like has a brighter print, with hot pink etc ) ....I do reeeeeeally like it

Summer Playsuit

I tend to dress very seriously in winter as I am a big fan of structured clothing and interesting shapes, but in summer you have no choice but to join the party so I am looking forward to giving things a quirky edge. In that vein I tried this Sretsis Playsuit a few months ago in a blue colour which was about $470 or so but decided against it.

 I have regretted not getting it since but by a stroke of luck I found this little romper from Forever New on a recent trip to Perth, I need to adjust the bustline but other than that I am really happy with it.

My Boyfriends words when I bought these sunnies "why exactly would you want to wear a butterfly on your face" to which I sighed heavily and walked away muttering you just don't get it.

Marina Diamondis

I have a serious thing for Marina and the Diamonds at the moment, not only is her album fantastic but she has a cute quirky style I love. I am sure it doesnt hurt that she is gorgeous either.

Here are a few of my fav looks

She also does great film clips so I attached one of my favourites....enjoy

Bloodorange Favourites

Bloodorange is by far my favourite boutique in Sydney, I love the relaxed styles they stock that still have interesting cuts.

Anywho here is a few pieces that I love at the moment.

I ended up buying the Belted Dress up Dress, but unfortunately I have been burying my head in icecream lately and it's a little tight. I love the Dress up dress on the bottom RHS too but the fit doesnt seem work on me.

YSL Arty Ring and model spotting

Seeing I am totally bumming around in track pants and an oversize shirt I thought I would post a quick pic of my coral YSL Arty Ring I got recently. I had been on the waiting list since March but now I have it I am not so sure about it.

Anyway here it is.....the nail polish is Chanel Paradoxical

Aside from that had a bit of a model spotting day today, firstly I saw Tiah Eckhardt walking with her new baby in a pram, then I saw Samantha Harris looking very irritated with her boyfriend at Bondi Junction and finally I saw Charlotte Dawson down at Otto at Woolloomoloo while I was having lunch who looked surprisingly fresh without makeup in a man style shirt and jeans.

I would have taken some pics but as usual I forgot my camera, but oh well there is always next time!

More Inappropriate Shoes

I love shoes, I really do but I am horrendous at buying them. All my shoes are either black or camel so I either have way too many pairs to choose from for an outfit or absolutely none. On top of that I am forever buying shoes that are near impossible to walk in. Last week I added another inappropriate pair to my collection; these Alexander Mcqueens but I absolutely love them, the heel is carved and they are just beautifully made, plus I am a little sentimental about them as they are from his last collection.

BUT I cant seem to get them to work with any outfit.

The beautiful carved heel

This is the pic that Net-A-Porter had of them styled which I think looks quite nice but I dont really have any graphic dresses and I think the print + elaborate shoes = a bit much.

Any other suggestions of how to wear these babies?

Hiatus Shmiatus

I'm not really sure if people even check this page but wanted to give a quick update anyway.

I have been on an extended hiatus due to a tragedy in the family but I am back, returning to "normal" and ready to blog!

Also, the man bought a new camera so I plan on borrowing (ie. stealing) it to take better quality pics,no more dead dangly arms I promise and I have been indulging in way too much retail therapy so have plenty of new stuff to share.

Looking forward to being back in the blogosphere
