A new dress for a Wednesday! 

I found this cute dress yesterday at Myer, upstairs in Tokito. I can just about get away with wearing some of their dresses, they are usually a tad too short for me now I'm over their target age range. However, this dress is just the thing! I love the blue and black 'Mini Mouse' collared, belted, fit and flare style - and it has pockets - hurrah! I got it on the sale rail (where else?!) marked down from $79.95 to $38. SOLD!

today I am wearing (and me time)...

I had a 'me' day today. I needed it. Sometimes it's good to have a breather isn't it. My mind and body was craving sun rays. Desperately. I can't tell you have much better I feel, after an hour or so topping up on vitamin D! I actually get a little agitated when I haven't sunbathed for a while. It's been weeks and my skin is starting to turn pasty. Ugh. So after a browse round the shops (yes, yes, I did buy a dress, two in fact), an hour of mummy duty, cheering on my two darlings at their school swimming carnival (boring, very noisy, immersed in the stench of clammy skin, rubber and chlorine), I returned home to do an hours exercise (I almost died on the treadmill!) then I donned my bikini and just wafted into the pool. Ahhh. Total bliss! Cool weightlessness and relaxation. The clear blue ripples of the water against the vivid blue sky. Then lazing in the warm sun with just a whisper of a breeze caressing my skin. Paradise in my back garden!

After a shower I slipped this Mix dress on with my Tony Bianco 'Alamo' heels, (which I later swapped for thongs) and teal beads.

While on the subject of cheap wearable clothing, I found this dress in Target marked down to $12! Too good a bargain to resist.  It's light and comfortable and has the prerequisite (tie) belt. Maybe it's a tad frumpy, but I figure it's fine for an everyday work/about the house dress, and I like the monochrome print.

summer mix

Yesterday, while doing my most hated chore of the week, food shopping, I checked out the latest Mix clothing range (at Coles) and was really impressed by their great summer essentials - all for $29 or less! Simple, classic pieces that you can dress up or down, that wash well and are the perfect holiday capsule wardrobe. Here are my favs...


Strapless jumpsuit $29



One shoulder dress $25

Strapless maxi $29

Crochet tank dress $29

boobs of the month award...

This isn't actually a Boobs of the Month Award post.  It's just an excuse to look at some mighty fine form. The female body is so beautiful. This lovely lady has such a perfect body. Fit and healthy. Just lovely.

Happy Friday chaps!

today I am wearing...

It's hot today, and once again very windy (so no boating again this weekend, errrr!). So a little soft cotton sundress is all that's required. This one, I found in Jay Jays, hidden in the $10 sale heap last week.  It has a zip up back and pockets.  I love pockets, not sure why really because it's not like I use them much. I added a long silver necklace today, but soon it will be time to dig out my favourite glass bead necklaces, which I wear constantly in summer.

I have chores to do today, and some exercise (ugh), but I am desperate for a spell in the sun, so I'm aiming to squeeze in an hour of sun worship - my body so badly needs some rays, I hate being pasty!

racing fashion... the hits and misses

Finally Jen Hawkins has something on that I like!!! I have not been impressed by her outfit choices at all so far. The Melbourne Racing Season is in full swing and I am SO disappointed by the outfits.  Most of them are bloody awful!  Oh I just don't have time to go through them all!  Here are just a few the hits and misses...



Rose Bryne - classic and lovely



Oh Jen - NO!!!  It's just wrong!

Nice peeptoes though.

Delta - once again WTF??!!

White leggings and those flats!!!

Kate Waterhouse - God where do I start!!??



Jen Hawkins - finally getting it right! With Rebecca Judd at the Myer tent
