I'm of course referring to people who look bloody awful in what they are wearing. Mutton dressed as lamb, fatties who squeeze into a size too small, ugly shoes, wearing Crocs... So today I was faced with a dilemma. I had to ask myself that very question... <div><br></div><div>I was browsing the Myer clearance racks. Just something to do for an hour or two. I took an armful of possibles into the changing room and narrowed down my choices to three dresses and a crop top. Then suddenly remembered my age. Oh. Bugger. I looked again at my selection and tried them all on again with 'I'm 41 not 21' in mind. Crop top? Umm. Yeah, that's okay with a high waisted pencil skirt. Tight black and white patterned dress with slit between the thighs??? Reluctantly I put that one back. It fitted beautifully and looked good, but as my darling 10yo daughter pointed out, "It's the kind of dress teenagers wear." </div><div><br></div><div>It's a pain having to do the age appropriate check. Sometimes a line has to be drawn. </div><div><br></div><div>So what did I buy? Two pretty spring dresses for $12, yes $12 each! Gotta love the Myer 75% off already reduced prices rack! They'll do.</div><div><br></div><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiMrQaHV9qB5PQWc5Z7n3YyiX8hEEvNJdY5npALtvLDJnY8rULVENYSPb-5FSB9iJY0SUiiCmylHfQydBR-atCimKxLJp7YW4N592USbBt4Buz1sEWLIXIoWG4et-64UTEpH4ZwGZEf16oz/s640/blogger-image-846178141.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiMrQaHV9qB5PQWc5Z7n3YyiX8hEEvNJdY5npALtvLDJnY8rULVENYSPb-5FSB9iJY0SUiiCmylHfQydBR-atCimKxLJp7YW4N592USbBt4Buz1sEWLIXIoWG4et-64UTEpH4ZwGZEf16oz/s640/blogger-image-846178141.jpg"></a></div><br></div>the suburban stilettohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09932068795423448163noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8175293788599970844.post-59462102528741224382014-04-03T13:12:00.001+10:002014-04-03T13:12:59.956+10:00change is in the wind...<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I think I’m
going to stop writing this blog. I have lost interest and want to spend less
time on computers and gadgets. So this
may be my last post. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Since our
return from such an amazingly beautiful week at Heron Island, I have felt unsettled.
I sulked for a week once we got home unable to accept suburban living, we all
did. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Now I am
left feeling like the way we all live our lives is so out of whack with nature
and what is really important. Self-obsession, celebrity, vanity, greed, consumerism,
keeping up with the Jones’… It’s all wrong. I am craving a more simple life.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I’m not into
religion or spiritual bollocks, but I do strongly believe that as humans we do
feel more fulfilled and we have more sense of purpose, when we are living surrounded
by and appreciating nature. When we take time to actual feast our eyes on the
real beauty of what is all around us - trees and clouds, the stars and sea. The
world is an amazing place and the animals and marine creatures that live on it
are incredible. They are inspirational and humbling. And it breaks my heart
that we are destroying their habitat, killing them for trinkets, ‘medicine’ or
health supplements. That we are enslaving them for our amusement in zoos and parks,
and we are polluting the environment so that in years to come there will be
nothing left and the sea will only contain slime.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Seeing hundreds
of baby turtles hatch multiple times a day, and having the privilege to witness
turtles lay their eggs, swimming with reef sharks and diving with a huge majestic
manta ray, watching eagle rays soar into the sky and dive into the ocean, being
surrounded by schools of beautiful fish, spotting bizarre alien-like marine
creatures, watching shooting stars and walking in electric blue moonlight –
these are the things that make me feel alive! <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I want my
kids to be influenced by people who are making a difference with their lives,
who support causes and fight for change. People, who follow their passions and
dreams, not people who are just motivated by money, power and a career in an
office. At Heron Island we met young
people who had done more than most people do in a lifetime – participating in
research trips to view wild Orcas or tag sharks and manta rays, spending time
in Antarctica volunteering on environmental programmes, crewing on Sea Shepherd
boats to save whales and dolphins from being slaughtered by the Japanese…<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I want to
make a difference. I want to be a role model for my kids and introduce them to
another way of life. While living in the UK for my formative years, I was so
ignorant of world issues and environmental causes. Travelling opened my eyes
and now living here in Australia, living by the sea and being able to see the
difference people can make (good and bad) makes me want to choose a different
life - one that makes me feel fulfilled, one that matters.

<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue Light', HelveticaNeue-Light, helvetica, arial, sans-serif;">I nipped out to Myer on Tuesday, to check out the summer clearance. I ended up with this pretty sundress from Stella, down from $89.95 to $53. I wanted something new to wear to a swanky work lunch in the city and as it's still warm and sunny, thought this was perfect.</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">So the award season for 2014 is at an end. I watched the Oscars and 'worked' at the same time (so I could skip all the boring bits). I was impressed this year, the only real clanger on the red carpet was Liza Minnelli, who looked like a clown, oh and Goldie Hawn, who's face now resembles a scary plastic surgery addicts mask, why oh why hasn't she just let herself grow old gracefully? She would have been beautiful. Anyway, I digress...</span></div>

Hot, humid (thank God for talc between the legs to ease a sweaty gusset!) a big blue sky and sunny. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I swam in the pool this morning and had a moment of quiet gratitude (are you getting ready to stick your finger down your throat?). It struck me that I actually have everything I want and that anything else is really just a bonus. I know this contentment won't last for long and is probably just my hormones releasing happy vibes, but it is true. I have a happy marriage, my husband is still fit and the same size he was when we married, I have two healthy, happy kids, I get a ridiculous amount of joy from my two fat cats, we have a boat, a nice house near the sea and live in one of the best countries in the world, in a place where the sun shines almost ever day of the year. I have a lovely group of honest girlfriends and a wardrobe full of gorgeous dresses and shoes (including my beloved Louboutins!!!). Yes, I could have a bigger house on the seafront with a bigger pool, designer furniture and newer, trendier cars, but the truth is, I don't <i>need</i> it. I'm happy. Yes it would be nice, but as I said, we do actually have everything that we set out to have when we left London and moved here. </span><br />
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">So for this glorious day, I am wearing as little as possible. It's too hot for clothes. </span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">This is an old Primark beach dress from years ago, with a pretty green flowery Gilly Hicks bra and my glass beads.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Have a wonderful weekend people!</span></div>

I hate invoice queries. Figures and maths do my head in. Ugh. But once a month I have media bills to reconcile. Thank God it's only a small part of my job. After that I figured I deserved a treat (it is Valentines Day after all)! I had 20 minutes to kill before the school run and needed (<i>needed</i>) retail therapy! Closet shop, Target. That had to do. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I ended up gettting the two dresses (surprise surprise). The Aztec t-shirt dress $20 (was $29) and the black jersey (blend) rouched bodycon dress $40 (almost identical to a Witchery dress I resisted last week marked down to $69). I like the pantsuit, but they are just not-me and it was a bit cheapy-shiny (but only $39).</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I'm a little old to be wearing a dress like this, but when I'm just hanging at home I don't really care. It's comfy and summery and it keeps me cool. It was one of my bargain $5 Supre dresses, I've actually worn it a lot. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Today, for popping over to a friends for coffee and gossip, I've added my new patent nude Diavolina wedges, bought at DFO a week or so ago for only $8!!! I'm so glad I got them. I still can't believe they were $8 (down from $129)! </span><br />

I wore my new midnight black (which means navy) Cue dress. I must say I do love it. It's such a classic, wearable design and it fits like a glove. The only slight bummer is that it seems to attract cat hairs... a problem when you have two fat, hairy, cats that slob around the house. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I had intended on wearing my Louboutin's, but I ended up with blisters on my little toes after my earlier (see post below) shopping trip (I found out that my new Diavolina wedges rub, grrrr)! So on with my go-with-everything Tony Bianco' Alamo' tan sandals, and a little red lippy... I have never worn lipstick, I feel weird in it, but I like it on (some) people, so thought I'd give it a go out in public...</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Oh yes! That's better! Mine, all mine! Tony Bianco 'Lolita' stilettos $179 down to $39!!! I have them in black and now I have them in nude. Happy happy me! I love them.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I just couldn't quite shift the gloom of Fridays disappointing shopping trip. I still needed to get my stiletto fix. So I popped to Westfield Chermside first thing on Saturday morning. And there they were... I almost saw a ray of light and angels singing 'Hallelujah'. On sale (in <a href="http://www.pulpshoes.com/" target="_blank">Pulp</a>) and in my size. It was meant to be. I feel whole again.</span></div>

I had adrenalin pumping through my veins in anticipation of treating myself to a pair of sexy new heels. I admit I am a heelaholic, it's totally silly how much my heart races at the thought of new shoes. </span><br>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">But then came the massive anti climax, sulk, panic, minor tantrum, then crashing low... Grrrr!!! I didn't buy ANYTHING!!! </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The Tony Bianco store didn't have any stilettos! Just open toe boots (sorry toes and boots don't mix in my opinion, unless you're an 18 year old supermodel), big platform wedges (to reminiscent of polio correctional shoes), low heeled sandals (boring granny style) and SHOES THAT I ALREADY HAVE! So bloody disappointed. I could have bought the black 'Alamo' but I love them more in the tan pair I already own!</span></div>
<div>
<br></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">In the end I bought four pairs of 'on-the-rebound' shoes, because I HAD TO BUY SOMETHING! They are everyday, wearable shoes that I only bought because they were marked down to $8 a pair! Yes, $8 a pair! From a shop called City Chic. Good brands too, all leather (or soft suede) from Robert Robert, Diavolina and Basque. But I'm still sulking. Immature I know. I'll be alright in the morning...</span></div>

Loose, straight legged and super comfy. Yep. My latest quickie obsession. Guess where they're from? COLES! I tried them whilst doing the food shop on Sunday afternoon (a quick pull on under my dress, in front of the mirror, due to the no changing room issue). But I put them back on the rack. But then I couldn't stop thinking about them! So I went back on Tuesday morning and bought them! I'm so pleased I did. An f-ing bargain for $25 (I only paid $15 due to a FlyBuys discount, so happy days)! They are such a nice colour and an excellent quality soft denim. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">As always Tilda looks brilliant. I love the bit in the trailer where she sucks on a bloody icy pole! Is there anyone else as cool and other worldly as Ms Swinton? Watch the trailer below and get excited...</span><br />

I've been good, I've resisted the shops. It's too hard to clothes/shoe shop during the school holidays. The kids have been off for almost two months, but back to school today, so life can go back to normal... With it the good (</span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">coffee with girlfriends, relaxing shopping trips and peace) </span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">and the bad (horrible early mornings, packed lunches to make and the school runs, ugh). </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I did buy two dresses over the holiday period though and this is one of them, from Portmans (the other one is from Cue). I like the blue/green palm print and easy fit and flare style. It was $49 marked down from $99. </span><br />

Being the official <i>Sex And The City</i> shoe queen, I had high (ish) hopes. After all, the actress herself mingles with designers, is known to go a little left of centre with her attire, wears couture, usually looks pretty cool.</span><br />
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">But WTF? Who are these shoes designed for? The over 50s?!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The heels are all<i> wrong</i> - they taper in and aren't straight and sexy. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Not only are the designs totally unoriginal and some, bloody ugly, I can buy them all already at my local granny shoe shop!!! SJP cannot have had anything to do with the design of these shoes! But apparently she designed them 'using inspiration from her life, like little bows and flower accents...' Ummm, I'm not convinced.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Disappointed!</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Available online at www.nordstrom.com, priced between US$195-$500</span>.</div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Vivienne Westwood's Tits T-Shirt! Originally designed in 1975 for Vivienne and Malcolm's SEX shop, it's been reprinted for the Special Edition Collection, available at the World's End, London store, or <a href="http://www.viviennewestwood.co.uk/" target="_blank">online</a> (for $125). </span></div>

Cate Blanchett. Rarely puts a fashion foot wrong, never makes a silly faux pas, always chooses meaty acting roles that challenge her endless abilities. </span><br />
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Umm... I wonder what she looks like naked? How her boobs have held up (or not) after three kids... Did she have c-sections or does she have to work on her pelvic floor? Does she enjoy anal sex? Or prefer creamy plain vanilla?</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">But my biggest question (and yes, I know I am being shallow and mean, but, don't lie and tell me the thought hasn't crossed your mind!) is this - what the fuck does she see in husband Andrew Upton?!!!</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I know looks don't count (actually that's bollocks, of course they do), and he may have been trim when they met, and yes, he's creative and a playwright and has intellectual talents, but, but, BUT!!!</span><br />
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Do they have an open marriage perhaps? Can they both take pleasure elsewhere as long as the heart stays loyal? Ummm. I wonder.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I mean, there are sooo many talented, sexy, handsome men out there... Just look at the hot actors Cate mingles with! The directors, scriptwriters... She must get tempted, she must!</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Or maybe her aloof, cool ice queen demeanour scares them all away.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">It's fascinating...isn't it?!</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">She's a better woman than me (in oh so many ways!) I would have dumped him after my first Oscar nomination and had a string of decedent, passionate, intense flings then settled down with someone who was my aesthetic equal... </span></div>

Not doing it for me at all. </span><br />
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Clare Danes looks like she's in a school play. Mariah looks like a 90s prostitute. Ms Matthew McConaughey looks like she's draped herself in a cheap shiny mustard bedsheet (and I just can't stand Camillia's bloody eyebrows)! Kerry Washington looks ridiculous, like an overstuffed doll (yes, yes, I know she's up the duff and normally looks flawless). Sandy Bullock is wrapped in a Quality Street mint-chic wrapper (with boring shoes), and finally Cate perfect Blanchett looks like she's wearing the downstairs loo towel holder.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Both such intense, talented actors, and having seen MB's goods already (courtesy of the film <i>Shame</i>) I just know it would be a total thrill! Just look at them here (okay I'm not keen on the beard Michael, too ginger, rough and scratchy...) grooving together at the Globes After Party! Naughty, naughty boys. I wish I'd been there, between them both, merry from Moët and up for a quickie in an alley somewhere... What?! A girl can dream right!</span></div>
