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

Victoria Room

Saturday night ended up taking us to Victoria room which had the greatest decor (unfortunately I didn't get many pictures of the place of despite snapping away constantly). But here are the shots I did salvage

As usual my martini, the bartender was quite disgusted at my decision to have it dirty with nice gin.

The man

We couldn't agree on aliases so lets just call them "the girls"

Excuse the headwound

Saturday Night on the Dance Floor

It's Saturday night and we are just about to head out for a few cocktails and hopefully a bit of a boogie, so thought I would quickly post an outfit. Sorry for the terrible quality of the photo's, I really need to get a better camera and/or photographer.

 

The dress and the belt are Scanlan and Theodore, the are Givenchy (and incidentally my favourites)

Girl Crush: Giovanna Battaglia

 have a bit of a thing for Giovanna Battaglia.The former D&G house model always looks so sleek in monochrome and neutral colours with her own personal twist.

So in honour of my girl crush thought I would share some of my fav looks from her

I had to post this one because its just so.....wtf?

I guess even the professionals can be fashion victims every one in a while.

The Perfect Shoe Solution!

I, like many shoe obsessed women have constant issues trying to store my shoes, I have done photos on boxes, clear shoe boxes, shoe racks, shoe cabinets, hanging storage, over door storage, under bed storage....you get the picture.

Today after many many years of searching I think I have found the perfect solution; shoe booths! (http://www.babooshoe.com/products.asp?cID=4)

The large one holds 55 pairs of shoes and the small one 25, they have interior lights (with a remote control, for what purpose I'm not exactly sure), they have movable shelves for boots and bags and they aren't hideously ugly! Unfortunately, just when I went to click purchase I saw the exorbitant price tag, I could buy a beautiful bag for the price of a shoe booth.

My question is...

Is the perfect shoe storage solution worth it?
