Winter Pretty

Gloomy, Musty and Mouldy Weather is coming soon down under. I don’t follow fashion as much but I noticed that the colour seems to suit the weather and mood of the people. Bland and dark colours – black, gray, beige, name all the neutral colours. I’m no fashionista but I reckon it should be otherwise. Wouldn’t you want to lighten things when it is gloomy? Why not wear bright colours? I can only think two things why the fashion is this way....

Weekend Loot

Did a little retail therapy yesterday. I am so happy with what I found - I just can't get enough of them. I especially like the bag. Red is not my colour but I like the style. I always have a thing with structured bags. This will be relegated as the weekend bag until I get tired of it and switch to something else. It's so spacious that I can just chuck my car key or maybe my lip balm (or a business card if somebody happens to give me one whe...

By Patrick Cox

I'm feeling a bit glitzy and I happen these sparkling pairs. They are dazzlers especially the Dorothy. I really have to watch the Wizard of Oz again. I haven't owned a pair with blings on them so that will be my next obsession much to the objections of Mcj - at least it's not on Black and Mild cigars. I have a thing for not liking glittering shoes but if they are these, I wouldn't mind. *****It's All About What's In Down Under | Permanence in...

A classic of the category was all over fashion magazines in 1993 when the catwalk feline Supermodel Naomi Campbell, tripped on the blue Vivienne Westwood platforms making history in this section of mishaps.It seems the Viviene Westwood collection is know for being lethal on the catwalk. Even if I maybe taking joint supplements, I wouldn't be able to take a single step without tripping over in these over a foot heel shoes. Fashion is always for...

Size Matters

Shopping for clothes in Australia has been a feat for me. True there are shops everywhere but that’s my worry. I’m more concerned on the sizes of the clothes. The shops around our area are mostly carrying stocks from size 8 up. And I’m size smaller than 8. It varies depending on the brand, I can be size 4 or 6 or eight sometimes (my normal size not from rapid detox for opiates). To shop for my clothes, we have to go to shops far from us – it’s...

If I can have my way, I’ll take that Outer Banks vacation rental offer and take off somewhere warm. The cold months are 3 months away but I’m bracing myself. I’m always on the look for winter gears.I would love to own these pair. My ugg boots are not really for outdors – the inside gets wet if I walk on the dewy...
